Sahil Inn Baku Hotel Formula 1 View

Charming hotel, with nice and friendly staff, in a great location. Our room was perfectly clean, and just as it was in the pictures. We read before, that there were problems with the hot water or internet, but we didn't experience any. You have to wait a bit until the hot water reaches you, but after it will be extra-hot if you don't change it. We had our own router in the room, so our WIFI was strong always. The staff were kind, the guy at the reception speaks English perfectly and is very helpful. The metro station, the boulevard, the old city and many restaurants are really close since it is in the city centre. But this advantage is a disadvantage at the same time since there is still traffic during the night (the windows are doing good in keeping the noise out, but it is still not quiet). I can really recommend this place to anyone!

The hotel is not 4* and I do not know the explanation for the 9.2 rating. The positive is its location: everything can be reached with a short walk, and the metro is very close. As I read on other sites, they use the same trick not only with us, but also with other guests. They give you an extremely low-quality, small, hot, dirty, dilapidated room, and when you protest and try to change, the receptionist tells you that you can only pay in cash, and "helpfully" cancels the Booking reservation (as if you only stayed there for one day). , and gives a better room. In the "better room" at least the mattress is comfortable and the bed linen is clean. The equipment is very poor. The one armchair is so dirty that I only dared to sit on it while covering it with a towel. The "terrace" is a joke: a very dirty concrete cube, without any furniture (we could sit on a T-shirt spread on the ground), a bleak concrete staircase leads from it to the shabby miserable backyard. The shower hose and hand shower are missing in the shower. There is no refrigerator. The breakfast is the same every day, very poor, served by 2 reluctant cooks from 8:30 to 9:30. The door of the hotel is a worn iron door of an apartment building, through which you enter a dirty, dark stairwell. The entrance to the hotel is one and a half floors up. Behind him at the reception sits a tired, listless man who practically lives in the hotel. He is on duty 24/7, eats at the kitchen ladies' spot, and sleeps on the sofa in the "lobby-breakfast room" and watches TV there. If you're looking for a centrally located penny hostel, this is the place to be. If you choose the **** hotel shown in the pictures, you will be very disappointed.

The rooms are very tired. Faucets leak and fall apart, the walls are dirty, which creates a feeling of disgust, the springs of the mattress "massage" the sides all night. If you need a hostel-level room, it is normal. If you are counting on comfort, you are not here
