Sahil Hostel & Hotel

Very polite and friendly staff, inside is clean and nice, beds are comfortable, the water pressure is good. Outside there is a very nice walking area. There were very small problems with the hood and air conditioning, but they were quickly solved. I am grateful for the comfort and helpfulness!

We steadied in the private room, which was of hotel standard. There was some noise, but that was to be expected, as a hostel. The facilities were good, although we didn't use them. The room was big, the bed comfortable, and the balcony gave us so excellent view of the flame towers. A very enjoyable stay, well worth the money.

I had the privilege of staying at Sahil Hostel for two nights. It goes without saying that I HIGHLY recommend this place for the following reasons: Location: The hostel is located two blocks away from Baku Boulevard (the Caspian Sea promenade). It is also a minute’s walk from the Sahil metro station, a 15-minute walk from Icheri Sheher, and a 15-minute walk from Nizami street – thus making walkable to almost every key attraction in the city (with the exception of Heydar Aliyev Center). The Staff: The staff really does go out of the way to help – right from letting me take a shower at the hostel before check-in, to helping me book a tour to Gobustan, to providing me with bus routes to catch a Caspian sea sunrise from Dagustu Park, to answering my endless barrage of questions (thanks Nika – I hope I spelled your name correctly - you are certifiably awesome!). Activities: The hostel seems to organize activities over the weekend. This is something they should promote even more on their facebook page etc. so that guests that can time their visits around these activities. Had I known of these earlier, I would have definitely arrived in Baku earlier and stayed at the hostel earlier than my scheduled dates. Long story short. I would stay NOWHERE else besides Sahil Hostel in Baku given a choice.
