This staff do not be compromised & cheap hotel

I just like a only room

Stayed in January 2024

The actual name of the hotel is Nizami Hotel by Shalimar. Please change the name on property listing as it is very confusing for the customers.

First of all, it was very difficult to find the hotel because the actual name is Nizami Hotel by Shalimar and on the contrary the listed name is Markaz Nizami Hotel. Now to the positives, you can not find a location better than this. Ultra budget-friendly compared to other hotels. There is no room service and no breakfast option. You have to be on your own. If you want to explore the city and need a room just to come back, shower and sleep then book it.

Rooms on the ground floor don't have windows, therefore smell was a bit unpleasant.

Location and breakfast were good.

Sheets had stains on them. Replacement sheets still had stains. No windows like in picture. No kitchen or access to like in picture. Water was cold for the first night, fixed by management after notifying though.

Good location to visit most sights in Baku.

During hotel check-in, The front desk manager named Renat, was really rude. When I tried to pay, he said the Visa machine couldn't handle my low charge, which seemed odd. I suggested paying for an extra night, and then he said the Visa machine would now work. But when I asked about the cost for two nights, he charged me double compared to the amount on booking.com. Showing him the booking.com price and mentioning my Genius Level 3 membership, he changed his tone from rude to polite. He even offered me a lower amount and he asked me politely to write a positive review. Disappointing enough, the lift is not working and so we have to use the stairs and I often found drunk people urinating on the stairs on the way to my room. When I reported this to Renat the front manager, he claimed they were outsiders, not hotel workers or customers.

The hotel wasn't as good as I hoped, but I decided to stay because of two amazing people. First one, there was the girl working at reception during evening shift. she was so helpful, One day, when I ordered food through the Wolt app, the delivery person didn't have change. The girl paid the remaining 2 manat for me even though i never asked. It wasn't a lot, but her kindness meant a lot. Second one, there was an old lady who cleaned the rooms, she went above and beyond. She helped me clean and iron my clothes and fixed my coffee kettle when it wasn't working. What impressed me the most was that she could speak both Arabic and English. Both of them made my stay better, and I'm grateful for their kindness.

The owner and the staff are not friendly! When we arrived there was a woman (one of the staff) kept shouting on the reception …the owner and the receptionist didn’t even smiled when they met us They insisted on us to pay in dollars and told me that the machine to pay in credit is out of charge when I asked that I will pay by credit as I requested before arriving and we got a deal that I can pay by credit! Now it’s not available! When I told them that I will pay in Manat , they started to be angry and telling me that the check in is at 2 pm by the way ! We are not giving the room before it ! And it was okay but how they act was weird They also insisted to upgrade the room we reserved through booking..when we refused the owner laughed mockingly ! There was no room service even to take the garbage out of the room ! They didn’t have a system to show them the reservations through booking..everyone of the staff asked to see our reservation on our phones..and they asked to pay more than we have on booking! When I told them the price they surprised again and asked to see the booking again ! And that was weird that they didn’t even know they got a reservation and how much was it !

The location is amazing

No thing every thing it’s okay

It was a pleasant stay and a comfortable room! It is expected that the traditional room would be uncomfortable, but on the contrary, it is very comfortable. Moreover, the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Rinat.

I did not enjoy my stay at the hotel, I booked a room for AZN 35, before arrival i had requested a balcony room and upon arrival the person at the reception desk recommended an upgraded room without balcony but with city view for AZN 60 per night (i paid 120 AZN for 2 nights) The amenities in the room were below average, shower head broken, window handle broken. It was 3 degrees and I had the most disturbed sleep with the window opening in the middle of the night. I am new to EU/Baku standard windows and the fact that the handle is broken doesnt help! To the owner, Please ensure amenities are fixed and in working condition before offering an upgraded room to a customer.

Great location with closeness to the Old Town, city centre

Someone peed in the room and they barely covered it - disgusting! (see attached picture) Very bad wifi, very hard to find - 2 different adresses, matress is horrible! No window in the room, so obviously no chance to get fresh air. Unfriendly personal, which was resistant against any critics... ONE OF THE WORST HOTELS WE EVER SLEPT IN!

In the city center, close to nizami street

Thank you for providing me this wonderful stay. The pictures of the room were as we saw in the booking. A warm welcome awaits you upon arrival at the hotel. The bed was very comfortable and all our problems were solved in minutes. Hotel service was at a high level. I plan to choose this hotel again on my next visit.
