OLD City
24 hour service was not always very helpful. Unable or unwilling to change their currency to smaller denominations. Breakfast was minimal and repetitive. Room was very small, some electrical items such a as hair dryer and air conditioner worked only sporadically. Airport transfer listed at 30 manat was charged 35. Hotel location was excellent with short walk to restaurants and meeting point for tours. Hills and cobblestone streets can be challenging, signage for locating the hotel is minimal .

Thank you for a great stay in Baku. I loved the location of this hotel as it was right in the center of Old Town. It was down a small side street so was always quiet but only a 2-3 minute walk to all of the restaurants and shops in the area. Check in was quick, easy and friendly. My room was a decent size and so clean. Breakfast was small and only from 9-11 daily but was tasty. I appreciated the breakfast as it fueled me for a good portion of the day. My only complaint is the upkeep in the bathroom. The shower head holder was broken so I had to hold the shower head while I showered. Also the hose was broken so water would spray everywhere anytime the water was turned on. Other than these things two negatives, the bathroom was clean and a decent size.

Perfect location
The hotel is in the heart of the old city. Quick walk to all the historic sites and to a subway station for access all across town. The rooms are in good condition and clean the front desk is very helpful. A great place that won't break the bank!

Very modern and clean room. In a good location in the old part of the city. The only recommendation I would make is book a taxi to take you there as it feels like it is in the middle of a maze the first time you go there. A massive square with endless restaurants just 10 minutes walk away.

Sands of Time is located in the Old City, so it is an excellent location. However, for me it was quite difficult to find the hotel. The breakfasts were very good and I was happy with my stay. But for me there was one problem, I was living on the first floor, so I had to go up and down the stairs, and there was no railing. Each time I was a bit worried about what would happen if I slipped. Also, in the shower area there was nothing to hold if I slipped, so I was a bit nervous there, too.

The property is in the heart of the old city, which is right where you want to be. It is small, only 6 or seven rooms. I see this as a plus. The staff knew me and was always ready to help or just to give a friendly hello. The breakfast, included, was a notch above typical breakfasts at properties like this one with fresh cooked eggs to order.

Nice but have issues
We got a room on the first floor which had a leak in the bathroom. We asked to fix it, they said it is fixed but it was still leaking so we changed rooms. The new upper room was better but not enough. The water was still on the floor after shower with no way to change it. The room also does not have fresh air so it gave me allergy. Everything else was fine. Location is great. Breakfast was ok. Very quiet.

Sehr schönes einfaches Hotel in der Altstadt. Einzigartig, da nicht mit dem Auto erreichbar. Kleines Zimmer, jedoch optimal genutzt. Ausblick aus Flametowers unbezahlbar. Frühstück einfach, jedoch sehr landestypisch lecker. Sehr hilfreiches Personal bei Fragen und Bitten. Täglich zwei neue Flaschen Wasser auf dem Zimmer. Perfekt für einen Städtetrip, da fast alles fussläufig erreichbar ist.
