    A good value, all things considered. It was a 3-star hotel. You get what you pay for.

    The furniture in the room is old. One chair was broken and unusable, and the bed appeared to be rickety, although we slept on it OK.

    Excellent breakfast.

    Breakfast could be improved to add more items.

    Being a vegetarian there were limited options for breakfast. And given it was a set menu, no top up of any requested items were made. Having said that, the location, rooms and staff were very good and we enjoyed our stay at Old Town Sheki.

    The best place to stay in Sheki, walking distance from all the highlights buy most importantly the property is the cutest. Superbly maintained, quirky little touches... should have stayed here longer!

    The breakfast might have had a wider choice of options, although it was well presented, it was a sparse choice of cooked products and beverages.

    The room was lovely, with nice decoration, comfortable beds and good bathroom facilities. The location was close, despite an uphill walk, to all the main tourist sites and with a lovely view of the surrounding mountains. The staff were both friendly and helpful and the building very clean. finally, Sheki is well worth seeing with lots of historical character and scenic beauty.

    I consider the Old Town Hotel one of the Shaki's attractions. It's one of the Silk Road caravanserais, tastefully adjusted to modern travellers' needs, The attention to detail in absolutely all aspects is incredible.

    A beautiful, phenomenal hotel. It has its own unfussy atmosphere. I don't understand the low rating on booking. Everything was of a high standard. Beautiful room with private bathroom. The whole hotel had amazing scenery inside. Plus free, free parking and a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended!

    The walls were a bit thin and we could hear our neighbors slightly.

    The property is in one of the historic stone buildings a few minutes walk down the hill from the old Caranansary. The rooms were comfortable but on the small side. There is a central courtyard (but was mostly closed due to winter season). The staff were helpful. The restaurant was great for dinner and large for local standards for breakfast.

    Great experience to spend a night in the historical building that has the age of more than 100 year

    The room that we were staying was close to the club which had the big party the day we were there. Therefore volume of the music was a big interruption to sleep.

    The location of the hotel is great, it was easily accessible to reach everywhere by walk. All the personnel and the guy in the reception were very friendly and quite helpful to find out local restaurants for the dinner. The stuff was regularly checking quality of the service. If you are looking for a budget friendly place to spend your holiday this hotel is highly recommended.

    The breakfast was basic, and the guy serving during the breakfast was kinda rude (does not apply everyone) with his attitude and responses.

    The space is cozy with the historic items and souvenirs designing the room and lobby. The rooms are so small as a capacity but pretty much finee taking into account the prices. Hotel is located in the middle of historic area - main landmark of Shaki.

    Charming hotel close to the main city attractions. There are a lovely patio and a nice restaurant with delicious food (reasonable prices). Breakfast was simple but tasty (eggs, sausage, cheese, olives, bread, vegetables). Room was cosy, clean and quiet (water, team and coffee, tv with plenty of turkish channels :), towels, shampon, shower gel, hairdryer). Staff are friendly even if not all of them speak fluently in english :) I recommend this place.

    This hotel could easily be a 9 out of 10 if the staff and catering were better. Staff were disorganised and sometimes disinterested. One night had to wait very long time for dinner service (50 minutes) - had to chase waiters to take orders, only to see them in the kitchen eating their own food. Breakfast was also disappointing and again service was poor (food not ready at 8am, hot tea not available until requested etc). Restaurant dinner food was excellent when it came, it is just the poor service from staff that was the problem. This is still a great place to stay and i hope they can improve their customer service to realise the high potential this accomodation has. Also bathroom had pungent sewer smell from plumbing. This is common in Azeri regional hotels but in our room it was unpleasantly strong smell.

    Authentic and traditional style stone building well decorated with Azeri furnishings. Lovely feel to the hotel. Rooms were large and beds comfortable. Good location in the old town area but still easy walk to other parts of the city. Good secure parking available. Also has 2 Peacocks roaming around outside dining area - nice touch.
