The location of the hotel is convenient, the rooms are not bad. It can be seen that the furniture is already a little outdated, worn in places, but everything looks clean. Beautiful view from the window (we were lucky with the view). Convenient elevator system, you don't have to wait long. The breakfasts are excellent, I liked them (you need to ask the waiters to cook an egg Benedict, very tasty). The spa is also good.
Now about the shortcomings:
1) There is a refrigerator in the room, but it
is locked with a key and you can not use it in any way, only if you want to buy something from the mini-bar. How's that? I can't buy anything on the street and cool it. A very strange system
2) I have never been able to take a shower or take a bath properly. It is impossible to adjust the water temperature and pressure - boiling water and cold water are constantly changing. The shift happens quickly, you don't even have time to lather your head
3) The spa is open until 22:30, but the cleaner starts to kick out 15 minutes before the end of work. I understand that everyone wants to go home as soon as possible, but I also came for work, I was released late and these 15 minutes were critical for me to have time to warm up
4) One evening we called the reception three times and asked to bring a shower set from the room. They promised to fulfill it every time, but still nothing. After 2.5 hours and four calls, they still brought
5) The elevator was sometimes buggy: it arrived on my floor, closed the doors and did not go anywhere. He was constantly opening and closing doors. I couldn't call another elevator either, because the system recognized that the elevator had already arrived at my place. Once it was in the morning and I was in a hurry for a work meeting. It was unpleasant, but it was resolved quickly enough

Basically, a good hotel, but a little tired, the rooms have old worn furniture. The deluxe room is quite spacious, with a wide comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom (there is a bathtub and a shower stall). Nice view from the window. Normal but rather monotonous breakfasts, everything was delicious. The service is friendly and friendly, especially the waiter Kanan tried his best. The hotel does not accept any Russian cards, even Union Pay, but an exchange office is open on the ground floor until 20.00, after that the currency can be changed at an ATM near the reception. By the way, there is a bar with cosmic prices on the ground floor, and they just found some kind of ABB bank terminal there, which accepted Gazprombank's Union Pay card. There is a gorgeous promenade next to the hotel. You can walk along it perfectly. Immediately after the underpass there is a stop of a red tourist bus with an open top, which runs along the route. Valeh, a very intelligent and friendly private guide, caught us near him and offered us a private tour of Baku. The next day, he came to pick us up and we traveled all over Baku and all the sights in his minibus for the whole day. Such a gorgeous tour cost only $ 100. I liked the city of Baku very much, very clean, smiling, friendly people, always want to help in some way, wonderful warm weather. It seems that quite different Azerbaijanis live in Baku than in Moscow.

The rooms are comfortable and spacious. I was lucky enough to check into a view room.
The service is unobtrusive, clean efficiently. The breakfasts are for 4, but the view is for 5. The hotel is conveniently located both for logistics on business and for evening walks along the embankment. It's a long way from the old town.
