Good Hotel with Good location

The quality of hotel and location are very good. There was a slight leaking issue on our last night that came from the ceiling. If not for that, I would have rated it 5 stars.

This is a very good hotel, in a prime location. Staff were amazing, atmosphere throughout the hotel is luxurious, the breakfasts is very good. Our room was very big and comfortable. The room is quite, despite the central location. The only things that threw us off were some overlooked details - There is only 1 towel hook in a double room. During shower, water pours outside, and the whole floor gets wet. The coffee machine is located in a spot that doesn't allow its operation. We had to play with its electrical cable and manually move it, in order to be able to use it. Also, once, after a very long shower, we ran out of hot water (this happened once, and didn't persist). All in all, non of the downsides is major or a deal breaker, but at this price point we feel this shouldn't have happened.

The Merchant Baku organized a smooth airport pick-up which put us at ease at the start. At the reception, the personable Mr. Pervez made the usual processes effortless. The location of the hotel was great and our room was comfortable. The Dining area Supervisor, Mr. Nahid was an excellent host and took care of our choices while Mr. Akbar provided prompt service. Although our trip was short, we had a lovely holiday, all thanks to the hotel staff who made it possible. We look forward to our next trip to Baku!

Awesome hotel in a great location in Baku

The service and stay was excellent. Having travelled in the region for a couple of weeks, this was by far the best hotel I stayed in. The rooms were large and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful and the breakfast was substantial. The location was really good as well. Very closed to the old city and other sites. My only negative was I asked for two issues to be looked into, one was the toilet seat, which didn't seem to be addressed and the AC, which again was difficult to see if it was attended to. However, overall this is an excellent hotel and I would definitely stay here again without question.

Wonderful tasteful impeccably clean rooms and public spaces with a mostly very professional staff, the pleasure in this hotel is the thoughtful touches in each room. Having said this, while soundproofing of windows to outside streets (very busy and active at night) is pretty good, soundproofing to hallways and next door rooms is abysmal and it was not possible to get staff to implement some measure of sound control for totally out of control party rooms. This meant zero sleep in a beautiful room.

Great hotel but disappointing service

I was looking forward to staying at the hotel and really wanted to score it high but the service was really disappointing. It's a beautiful boutique hotel in a perfect location next to the old town and buzzy area of bars and restaurants. I really enjoyed my stay there. The problem was that when i was trying to call the hotel, the call didn't go through, then when it did it said the call transfer failed and when I got to talk to reservations, the lady told me couldn't transfer the call as she had no such option and I needed to call again. With the 10th attempt, I gave up. We called room service three times on different occassions. Only once they brought what we asked for. The other two times no one bothered and when we called the reception to tell them that nothing had arrived and we were going to sleep they said they were sorry without any attempt to actually chase to deliver what we asked for. We also checked breakfast started at 7am, whereas the guy at the reception insisted it started at 7.30 and then told me to go the bar to check, I told him that he should go and confirm and not sending the guest to sort it out. The service was really disappointing. The only competent person was the bar manager who always greeted us with a smile and ensured we were ok. Long wait for a coffee at breakfast too. I would say, more smiling, more thinking about the guest would help. It's a great hotel as a building though. Very small gym.
