Zimmer Boutique Hotel

Great location

The most important thing about a hotel when I go to a new country is that it feels safe and that the staff can be reached, if anything happens with the transportation, if there is a delay etc. This was true for this hotel, very quick to answer and even when the plane was delayed until after midnight they waited up and assured me that the driver was waiting. The room is actually very good value for money, on the small side but clean and fresh. Central location, no complaints from me.

Property was very centrally located, within 5-10 minutes walking distance to the old city. Staff were super helpful and even allowed us to store our luggage with them temporarily for an hour, on our way back from Sheki to Baku (for our flight out that night). You could refill potable drinking water at the lobby for free.

THE LOCATION IS FANTASTIC!! It’s 5-15 min walk to any attraction or tour meeting point, 5 min walk to the Old City Double Gates, 5 min or less to Nizami St, and around the corner from a slew of restaurants and dessert options as shopping. The staff is fantastic! Ali, Aycel (not sure about the spelling, the sweet young lady at the front desk) and the young man who helped with my bags coming and going and the more mature aged gentlemen at the desk with the beard that checked me in —everyone was so helpful with sufficient English for the desired outcome. Be sure to speak slowly and clearly. For my American friends, The rooms and bathroom are small, as expected in this part of the world. I am one person and it was fine, for two is a tight fit, be sure you like your traveling partner in close quarters ;) Water pressure is good. Be sure to toss toilet paper in the bin/trash, not the toilet. If they book you a taxi confirm with the hotel the price of the taxi and AGAIN when you get in the taxi, the driver tried to rip me off saying “I’ll tell you the price when we get there” but I had already confirmed with the front desk and told the driver I won’t get in his taxi unless he confirms the same price, he then agreed. There is trouble in most of Azerbaijan about 40% of the time with credit cards Visa and MC, something about communication with banks, and American Express you can just about forget it. Apple Pay works well about 80-90% of the time. It’s inconvenient, but have cash as a backup or book a hotel where you can prepay or the hotel has a bigger name that can deal with such credit transactions (Hilton, Sheraton, etc). However, for the price point and location and helpful staff, this cute little hotel is well worth it and I highly recommend it!

We loved our room with netflix. The central location, just a minute's walk from bars and restaurants, was perfect. Thanks for a pleasant experience!
