This hotel is slightly away from the city centre and Old town of Baku – about – 1.5 km or a 25 min walk, but it is brand new (6 months old) and the staff are very friendly.

My twin room is on the 12th (top) floor. It’s quite spacious and has the familiar amenities for the brand.

The gym on the 2nd floor is great! I use it everyday and it is spotlessly clean.

Breakfast is complimentary each morning as a (recently downgraded) Gold member, and it is plentiful with a lot of variety.

I think if I was to come back to Baku again, I’d probably stay at a hotel in the centre or within the walls of the Old City.
