Atlas Hotel Baku

Azerbaijan is a wonderful confluence of the erstwhile USSR, Europe and Arab richness. People are friendly. The city is blessed with cool winds, natural beauty, technological innovation and beautiful people. Great places of historical, natural and modern significance, most of which will impress you a lot. I visited Baku with friends and engaged a private van instead of joining the SIC (Bus) bandwagon. We wanted that flexibility, hence paid about 15% extra - it was a great idea as we could stretch our time per our convenience. Our visits primarily included Baku city tour, Old Baku+Nizami street, Baku Boulevard, Little Venice, Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center, Upland Park (Highland Park) and Flame Towers, Palace of the Shirvanshahs, Gobustan/Mud volcanoes, Shahdag (with optional entertainment rides), Ateshgah Fire Temple & Yanardag Fire Mountain. Indian food is available aplenty at many restaurants across Baku. If you are a vegetarian, you might miss the typical Indian breakfast, but you will still be able to manage relatively well. Most establishments accept cards, would suggest to keep some limited amount of AZN/USD in case a need arises.. Else, cards should suffice. We were able to survive the entire 5 day trip with a forex-plus card and USD 50/- in cash (incl some shopping for chocolates and local trinkets/mementos) Last, language is a major hurdle as most folks speak/understand only Azaerbaijani or Russian. English is a major obstacle. Recommend usage of translator apps. Baku also has a decent nightlife with eateries, restaurants, night-clubs remaining open long into the night. Wish you a great vacation and hope you enjoy Baku's beauty!

I was there a month ago with my family and it was awesome. staff was super helpful and the hotel is in a great location, there is a 24 hour shop in front of the hotel. And a restaurant thats open all day and night. We loved the food from the Indian chef. We felt super comfy like home. If we ever go back to Azerbaijan, we’ll definitely choose this hotel again!

Hopeless, worst, check inn time is 3 o’clock but we got the room at 4:30, torn bedsheets, torn pillow covers, washroom showers were broken, there was continuous issue of hot water in washroom. Hotel denied to repair or change the room as the property was full. Pathetic service. Worst experience.
