Austin Hotel Baku

Located on nismai street

Good location is a plus point, it’s a decent hotel for the price being paid. Downside is that it has no lift and the reception is on 2nd floor. Average breakfast but is manageable for Vegetarians Standard room has no balcony or city view. It’s an internal window with no view whatsoever.

位置好，熱鬧，方便

除了沒電梯要爬樓外都很好！離周邊景點卻很近，也靠近地鐵。

The only good thing about this hotel is the balcony. The breakfast is not great, and although they claim to have a pool, it's really just a small tank designed to look like one—definitely not suitable for a proper swim. There are no heaters either, so don’t book this hotel expecting to enjoy a dip in the pool. The sauna is also inconvenient—you need to inform the staff 30 minutes in advance to use it. The hotel doesn’t have a lift, so you'll have to carry your luggage up the stairs. It’s an old property and not well-maintained. Additionally, there’s a nightclub nearby called Cecilia Club. It’s not affiliated with Austin Hotel, but I still want to warn future guests about it. The club is a scam. They tell you cocktails cost 3 manats, but then bring a bill for 30 manats. They pretend not to understand the language to get away with it. If you say you want to listen to Indian music, they’ll play a song and then charge you 50 manats just for that. Do not buy drinks for the girls at the club—they order the most expensive items, and you’ll end up with an outrageous bill. इस होटल की एकमात्र अच्छी बात इसकी बालकनी है। नाश्ता अच्छा नहीं है, और वे कहते हैं कि यहाँ स्विमिंग पूल है, लेकिन सच कहूँ तो वह कोई पूल नहीं है, बस एक छोटा सा टैंक है जिसे पूल की तरह बनाया गया है। उसमें हीटर भी नहीं है, इसलिए अगर आप पूल में डुबकी लगाने की उम्मीद से बुकिंग कर रहे हैं तो बिल्कुल न करें। सॉना इस्तेमाल करने के लिए भी आपको 30 मिनट पहले होटल को बताना पड़ता है। होटल में लिफ्ट नहीं है, इसलिए आपको अपना सामान सीढ़ियों से ऊपर ले जाना पड़ेगा। होटल काफी पुराना है और अच्छी हालत में नहीं है। इसके अलावा, होटल के पास एक नाइट क्लब है जिसका नाम है Cecilia Club। यह क्लब Austin होटल का हिस्सा नहीं है, लेकिन मैं फिर भी होटल में ठहरने वाले लोगों को इसके बारे में चेतावनी देना चाहता हूँ। यह क्लब पूरी तरह से धोखाधड़ी है। वे कहते हैं कि कॉकटेल की कीमत 3 मनात है, लेकिन बाद में 30 मनात का बिल लाकर देते हैं। वे भाषा न समझने का नाटक करते हैं ताकि आपसे ज़्यादा पैसे वसूल सकें। अगर आप कहते हैं कि आपको हिंदी म्यूजिक सुनना है, तो वे एक गाना बजाते हैं और फिर उसके लिए 50 मनात जोड़ देते हैं। क्लब में लड़कियों के लिए ड्रिंक बिल्कुल मत खरीदिए—they महंगे से महंगे ड्रिंक मंगवाती हैं और आपको बहुत बड़ा बिल भरना पड़ता है।

Our stay at Austin hotel was not at all what I expected it to be. I will write in points to keep the review short and to the point: -The only positive is the location, it's located on Nizami street. -Hotel not suitable for elderly or handicapped people because there is no elevator and you have to climb 2 flights to stairs to reach the reception. Most of the time there's no staff to greet you as you enter the hotel. -No room service -Very restricted breakfast menu -The staff will start packing the breakfast food as soon as clock ticks 10:00 am. We faced this on one day when we came for breakfast late, by 9.30 am and we were not done eating, as were some other hotel guests, when the staff came in and started taking away the food from the buffet counter. I can understand having a strict deadline and not letting people have breakfast past the deadline, but that is why they closed the doors at 10am, why would you take away the food when people are already inside still eating? -The young guy at the reception was rude and when we confronted him about it he said it was a misunderstanding. I can go into the details but that would just make this review a big article. -The room was smelly and the air conditioning was bad. Will not recommend this hotel at all.
