“Decent stay let down by very poor communication.”
The location was convenient, and aside from our arrival experience, most staff we met were friendly and helpful. We also appreciated having breakfast and coffee while waiting for our room. The biggest problem was communication. Months before we stayed, I called because our flight landed at 3:05 am and we’d arrive around 4–5 am; the hotel said early check‑in would cost about 40 AZN, which we agreed to, and confirmed it on the booking. When we got there at about 5 am, the room wasn’t ready. Nobody told us, so we couldn’t plan an alternative after an overnight trip expecting the early check‑in we’d arranged. We waited hours with very little info on when a room would be available. The young man at reception wasn’t very helpful or proactive. We finally got a room after asking again. There was also needless confusion about our airport transfer: the listing said a one‑way transfer was included, but we were first asked to pay. That got sorted out, but it added to the communication mess. Things change, that’s fine, but the lack of notice was frustrating. Clearer communication before and during arrival would have made a big difference.
