Apartments are fantastic, spotlessly clean, staff are very friendly and helpful. apartments are outside the city by about 15 mins but there is a free shuttle several times a day or taxis are cheap and the service bus which stops outside is even cheaper. I would recommend a visit and loved Baku.

Enjoyed my visit to the Hairy Lemon bar near Fountain Square. Irish bars DO NOT serve Draught Guinness on tap only in cans at inflated prices. Best sticking to local beers such as EFES.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Really impressed by Baku. People respectful to each other and to visitors. Great architecture. Good and cheap Metro system. Good community atmosphere with many families enjoying communal areas in the evenings. (People drive VERY fast in this city!)

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

What a lovely City. So Clean and a good blend of Modern and Old Buildings. Would describe it as "Where East meets West". Better than Dubai. One thing that should be more evident is the Pricing. At least twice there was an attempt to rip us off.

5/5 - Excellent
