Azerbaijan: hotels and accommodation

The accommodation was clean and warm. The owner of the hostel was very hospitable and friendly. The hostel is located close to the bus station but far from the center of Lenkoran. The toilet is outside.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a family home for 4 people. The bedrooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The living room and kitchen were also very nice. The property is not located in the city center but in a nice, quiet area. In general, everything was ok.

The hostel is located in a very quiet place surrounded by mountains; in the village of Sheki ; Close to the public transport stop; The room was comfortable with a nice bathroom; The owner Mr. Ilgar was very nice and helpful; spoke English well; he helped us in everything; Overall, we are pleased with your stay!!!.

The rooms were clean and fresh. The apartment itself with a fantastic view of the Caspian Sea. Very good location, only 5 minutes walk from baku's Old Town, about 5 minutes walk from the metro station. Very nice owner. Overall, everything was good and satisfying!.

The owner was very pleasant. The room was of good size. Comfortable bed. Outside shower and bathroom. The meals were simple but tasty. Beautiful surroundings and view. The town itself is not very interesting. Too high price!!!.

Pros: Close to the airport (40min - 1 hour) The hotel is cozy, small. Comfortable mattresses, clean bed linen, all rooms have a sea view (in the suites straight, in others side), towels in sufficient quantities, in the suites there are slippers. Liquid soap, disposable sets of toothbrushes and toothpastes. The room has a kettle, a set of dishes. Minibar — extra charge Breakfast (buffet) is included (eggs, scrambled eggs of various types, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, sausages, sausages. At the request, they began to cook cereals, pancakes, pancakes, cheesecakes. Very tasty tea. The rest of the food is paid (prices are significantly higher than in a café nearby) The beach is not far away, there are sunbeds (for a fee - 5 manats per day), stationary umbrellas (free of charge) Friendly staff, trying to meet halfway Excursions can be purchased at the hotel. The currency can be changed at the hotel at the reception, the rate is good Master classes are held. We haven't visited, but the reviews are good. All souvenirs can be made with your own hands In the evenings, music on the terrace Nearby there is a small shop, several cafes / restaurants. The menu and prices are the same everywhere. The food is delicious. In my opinion, the best is a small restaurant in front of the hotel For smokers, expanse: you can smoke everywhere Cons: The beach is across a busy road. It is not customary to let pedestrians pass. The beach is dirty: a lot of garbage, stray dogs (not aggressive), cars drive along the beach, horses can be bathed in the sea. The sea is very shallow and looks more like a lake. Sand and therefore often muddy. Sunbeds, umbrellas - very tired When purchasing excursions at the hotel, you need to understand that this is more of a transfer than a full-fledged excursion. There will be no familiar and full-fledged story on the way and on the spot. Immediately it is necessary to clarify all the amounts of surcharges that will take place. We visited 2 excursions and the amount of surcharges was almost the cost of the excursion (jeeps to waterfalls / volcanoes, entrance tickets, lunch, etc.) But the plus is that you can build a traffic schedule in accordance with your requirements. Cleaning is declared every 2 days. In fact, for 10 days there were 2 cleaning of the room. The second after repeated reminders. Toilet paper was also asked for several days, brought when they had already bought it themselves Breakfast is declared from 8 to 11, but, in fact, it starts at about 9.30 and is not replenished after serving. It is better not to be late. In restaurants, cafes, you need to ask for a menu and look at prices - otherwise the bill will be much larger Not everyone knows Russian, unlike Baku (or pretends not to know). Transfer with a discount of $ 28, taxi - 10-15 manats ...

Treatment and rest in Nur Naftalan sanatorium (Azerbaijan, Naftalan) Good afternoon.. I was treated and rested for 19 days in November-December 2023. I'll start with the pros: Inexpensive, much cheaper than in other sanatoriums of a similar class, a wonderful attitude of both the service staff headed by the owner Mikhail Mikhailovich (he approached absolutely all vacationers, requests, wishes and so on), and the nurses are smiling and hardworking. Maya massage-iron and magic hands, paraffin-miracle, baths with naftalan, a young man Satam, always came to the rescue, baths are very slippery and uncomfortable for big people, this is me about myself.. Guyulshaaan, you're like... May your good deeds continue to help us. The room is always clean and cozy, at the first request or request everything will be done, changed and helped. Always fresh towels, sheets and bathrobes, tea and sugar. The sanatorium is young, upset and soon there will be a place for entertainment, and for more productive treatment and recreation. A cozy courtyard and a conservative place for a clear treatment on 5, and a quiet and peaceful rest.. Now about the minuses, where they are not in the sanatoriums of Naftalan, then spit at me. There are always disadvantages. So, the cons: If you are a lover of even a little but delicious food, then this is not the place you need to go to the restaurant. Simple and low-fat dishes, not for gourmets, but for a good and hearty snack. Of course, I would like soups to choose from at lunch, in the morning not the constant scrambled eggs and sausage, and not very coffee, but at least a piece of good meat, or something else. Lunch and dinner-I won't eat chicken for a year And yes.. Fish on Thursdays,it's on fish.. The salads are different in name only, but simple and hearty in terms of filling and taste. always the same. Fruit.. A big minus.. After all, Azerbaijan is a country not only of apples and persimmons, tangerines, but of dozens of various delicacies from the garden. Baking standard shortbread .. Absolutely, and what is especially surprising, there are no national dishes of Azerbaijan, but the cuisine of the country is probably the best in the world. Where are the excellent first courses, low-fat pilaf, low-fat kebab, wonderful baklava, or halva, slices of sujuk, and pieces of pomegranate, about good homemade cheese, low-fat.. Only potato or chicken dishes, dietary.. Hundreds.. Delicious... Tens.. Of course, the sanatorium does not imply gluttony, but impressions of the delicious or the simplest. I'm talking about myself. In general, the buffet is a variety of dishes that are completely different in taste. So far semi-Swedish, but satisfying and quite .. I don't watch tv, but sometimes for the background tried.. 45 channels, 2 of them in Russian. Church and for some reason House 2 TNT.Sanatorium is most likely, it means a satellite, where there is a choice of TV programs not only for the local population, but also for everyone else. Also with the music that is constantly spinning and sounding in the sanatorium, both in the medical building and in the dining room. it is often Azerbaijani.. I repeat, if the sanatorium is international.. then it is neutral, calm instrumental music for relaxation and rest, and not for one ethnic group. By the way, audibility in the rooms is absolute, but this is the trouble of all sanatoriums, and residential buildings. Lamps over the bloods are mandatory. There are none. In the rooms, as in all other hotels, even with 2 stars, there are a couple of bottles of good water. Remind yourself, gentlemen who are resting and treating themselves with naftalan - do not wash off after the bath to the end, you have a little water, wrapped yourself in a dressing gown, in old clothes even better, hot tea and rest for a couple of hours - absorbed naphthalan, in the shower and with foam everything.. And not to wash off immediately - this treatment is not useful, but a wash off useful, here they are asked to wash off everything immediately with shampoo. I didn't give in. You need a bar or a vending machine with a selection of good coffee, and wonderful Lankaran tea. And for 5 stars, judging by numerous reviews, there is not a single sanatorium or spa hotel in Naftalan. Treatment, yes, but everything else. Solid Four I'm talking about others, and somewhere in general 2.. Nur Naftalan - treatment and the attitude of the staff to the client-5. Territory-Builds and Expands-4. Entertainment -3. Food-4 is solid, this is not a restaurant.. I'm sure they'll get richer and it will be even tastier. Total 4 stars I advise those who are going just to heal and .. and cleanliness with good attitude of the staff, simple desk, and tranquility. For those who are picky about food, in recreation with a variety of entertainments, this is not the place to go. It's modest, beautiful and conservative. The general impression of the town is Naftalan and Ganja.A little covered by the capitalism of the USSR. There is only one façade, and behind it there is a poor population, a small salary, and a lot of problems, as in all third world countries. Good treatment and rest to all. Thank you to the sanatorium. So far, the treatment has not helped me much, but it is cumulative, like our diseases. You can't beat it in one course. Therefore, we will save money for the next race.
