هتل الیسیوم

Very Good

+ Great location, close to the Old town. The staff at the hotel is great!

− Lack of towels, no elevator.

Elysium Hotel Baku

+ This is a convenient hotel for a short stay. It is clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful, polite and attentive. Location is good for most city attractions

− Whilst there is good double glazing there was excessive traffic noise if staying in a balcony / front room. No fridge in the room, which would have been helpful.

Interesting old architecture of the building

+ The old building has very very high ceilings. Interesting design. The hotel is only on the one floor, on the 4th floor, I think… no elevator. I didn’t have much luggage, but if you have roller board bag you will be straggling to get upstairs.

− I came a little before checking time and the reception person was rushing the cleaning lady to clean, so the room would be available for me asap. I was saying I don’t mind to wait, I understand that the previous guests just left. They didn’t pay attention to those words and rushed the cleaning to the point, that the bathroom wasn’t cleaned at all, the room was dusty, seems like for some time, including the carpet. It felt like all that was done they changed the bedding. I would rather wait and get my room properly cleaned, than get in within 15 min of arrival in to not cleaned room. At the end of my stay they asked for a review. I said the room is dirty. They said: well, the building is very old. It’s true, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be cleaned.

Could not access my room for 30 minutes

+ Overall it's very decent considering what you pay. Location is of course superb. Very basic necessities and a working AC. They even offer water and a toiletry kit

− I experienced what I consider to be a major inconvenience upon trying to access my room after I had already checked in. The hote floor is only accessible via interphone located downstairs. When I attempted to access the building at about 8PM on the night of my stay, no one was answering the interphone and no one was picking up the phone when I called. After 30 minutes of waiting and continuous calling, I piggy backed into the building behind one of the residents. I went by the front desk later and there was still no one there. The management later apologized and explained that the front desk agent was helping another customer. I understand that sometimes it's impossible to man the front desk 24/7 and I would have been fine waiting downstairs for a couple of minutes. However if there is no one to answer the interphone for 30+ minutes, there absolutely has to be a process to let paying guests in, maybe give them the interphone lock code or something like that. Among hundreds of hotels and guest houses I've stayed in, I've never seen anything like that

Really good location, friendly stuff

We stayed in Baku for 9 days and decided to finish our vacation at ELYSIUM Hotel, Baku. At first it was a little shocki

+ Staff and location

− Not Luxary and no lift

Well priced and very close to everything

+ I liked the location it was very centrally located and everything was in walking distance and very easily reachable. The staff were very helpful and the room fit us very easily. There was plenty of space to sleep and hold our stuff.

− The beds weren't the most comfortable but for the price and location it was fantastic value.

Great stay, good value for money.

+ Very friendly check-in, nice breakfast, quite at night by closed window, although a busy road is below, plus is the balcony. Location is close to old city, promenade along Caspian Sea as well as dinner venues around fountains square.
