Hotels near Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku

I don’t normally take the time to review places but considering that they market themselves as a 5 star hotel I want to make sure other people considering this hotel know what to expect at least. For context We stayed in this hotel for a week as a family (2 kids) in a connecting family room. First off when we arrived and checked in, the guy at reception said they would check our documents and to please wait in their restaurant. We ordered some drinks and waited. Meanwhile suddenly they start blasting Indian music so loud in the restaurant (it was only us and another family there) that we had to go ask them if they could please turn it back down again. I don’t know for who or why they put the music on so loud. This also happened when we ate breakfast one morning. After maybe 20 minutes we went to ask reception how check in was going and were only told that “they were checking”. We decided to go and get some late lunch since we didn’t know how long we needed to wait for them to “check” whatever they were checking. If the room wasn’t ready, it wouldn’t have been a problem if they simply said so and gave us a time frame for when it would be ready. But this was a taste of the service to come unfortunately. We had a connecting family room that had one bathroom to share. The master bedroom had only a window which was a small and by the ceiling facing out into the hallway (so no external window) which meant it was like sleeping with lights on all night as the hallway light were always on. In this case perhaps a curtain for that window would be good or installing sensor lights in the hallway so the light isn’t on unless someone is there. The rooms were SO warm and when we went to check about the air conditioning they told us it wasn’t working or they didn’t have it. (Not sure which was the correct answer) They couldn’t give us a straight answer. They told us the heating had been on the night before but that they had now switched it off and allowed for “air” instead. So whatever control you have in your room is basically useless. When we asked if they could allow for the air conditioning to be turned on they just told us they would sort it out but nothing got done. We had to sleep with the only external window open during the night so at least our kids could be more comfortable. Other important things to note - we got 2 towels for 4 people. We asked them to bring 2 more which wasn’t done. Only when we saw a cleaner outside in the hallway one evening (3 nights into our stay) did we get 2 more. - there was no cleaning the whole week. We asked for more water, asked if someone would come to at least remove the garbage and they told us they would send someone but never did. - as shown in the photos, one of the single beds was broken underneath. - several sheets/duvet covers were broken, one example shown in the photos. - there was cigarette burns on the double bed headboard despite it being a non-smoking room. Shown in photos. Also the bathr

There are at least 4 Sapphire Hotels in Baku (Sapphire, Sapphire Inn, Sapphire City, Royal Sapphire), so it can get a little confusing. But the Sapphire Inn, where I stayed, is OK. Admittedly, it looks a lot better online than in reality, but it still has lots of good aspects. The location is excellent, easy walking to Old City, waterfront or center. I got room 314, an enormous, old-style space with rather faded beige carpet and hideous gold wallpaper - but space is good and the bed was really comfortable. My bathroom was in very good shape, clean tiles, large rainshower, good hot water and soft towels. The phone did not work and wifi in the room was weak. Breakfast was rather ”non-European”, with olives, tomatoes and cheese, but wonderful dairy (yoghurt, cream and kaymak to die for !). Some fresh juice and eggs (other than boiled) would be nice. Also, the hotel caters for large tourist groups : when they invaded the breakfast room, it was hard to find a seat and the staff struggled to keep the buffet up-to-date. I found all staff, at reception, room service and restaurant, to be super friendly.

In order to see F1, close to the track, many Ferrari and Alfa Romeo team staff also live here, next to the train station, the bus stop to the airport is also opposite the hotel, the subway station is also 5 minutes away, the location is very Ok, 28may shopping mall is nearby, the hotel breakfast is also very good, the first day we arrived early, not yet to enter the room, the front desk warmly let us go to the restaurant to eat a free breakfast, the room is also very large, also from With kitchen equipment, microwave oven, living room is also quite large, the hotel belongs to IHG, non-competition period, the price will be higher.

Helpful Personl, Wonderfull Hotel During my stay everything was perfect.Nice and comfortable rooms, small but sweety terrace and tasty meals. There is a small terrace in outside for drink something in the morning so felling better.Breakfast more turkish meals and snacks. Speacial personal so friendly and helpfull. Hotel near H.Aliyev international airport.

It's a great place. Good treatment at check-in. Although there were minor delays in the food, the attitude and service were excellent. The hotel price is one of the most ideal among other hotels in the country. I recommend it to those traveling with their families.

Amazing attention to the guests ... This te is really obove standards... Not even in higher category hotels you find this... I felt they were all there to support and help... I arrived very early after a terrible long trip.. They made sure I could check in as early as possible... Same, the day after I arrived late for breakfast but still they tried to accomodate me... My congrats to the GM, there is always a good captain behind a team that works well in different sections. Excellent guys keep it up! Regards Marco

Due to an early morning landing into Baku Airport I booked Fly Inn to get a bit of shut eye before moving onto my city based accommodation later in the day. I was extremely impressed & have nothing but positive comments about the hotel. Staff were outstandingly helpful in pre-arrival emails & went out of their way to make timings work for me. The Reception team were also friendly & efficient upon check-in (& out). They offer a free shuttle to & from the airport 24/7, a journey of around 5 minutes. My room was also far better than I was anticipating - really spacious, with a huge picture window, great bed & shower & a generous array of decent bath products. Communal areas are also rather nice - it's a cut above the usual airport-handy accommodation.

I am a Marriott Gold member travelled with friends, we chose to stay at Sheraton. The experience and hospitality was absolutely pleasant. We were pleasantly (with a big smile) greeted by Mr Orkhan at the lobby and he was very happy to consider our requests and provided room upgrade and also connected room. The room had a great view and spacious. Orkhan made our experience very delightful. He gave us suggestions on places to see and restaurants to go to. Marriott you have an excellent employee in your hotel, your customers will be well taken care. I will recommend the hotel and stay to family and friends
