Royal Palace Hotel Baku

Good hotel

Расположенный на тихой улице недалеко от площади Фонтанов (10 минут пешком) с большими, чистыми номерами и очень любезным и услужливым персоналом на стойке регистрации, этот 3-звездочный отель представляет собой идеальный выбор для краткосрочного пребывания в Баку. Рядом есть супермаркет, работающий минимум до 23:00, банк с банкоматом и почта. Персонал отеля может помочь вам организовать экскурсии по Азербайджану по гораздо более низким ценам, чем те, которые просят в местных туристических агентствах (одна в Секи стоила 150 манатов, другая в Гобустан, грязевые вулканы и храм Огня - 90 манатов). Не могу сказать о завтраке, так как он не был включен в стоимость номера. Если у вас есть проблемы с передвижением или тяжелый багаж, тот факт, что номера отеля расположены на первом и втором этажах без лифта, может представлять проблему.

WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS ROOM WAS AN UPGRADE .IT WAS FAR FROM THAT . AN AIR CONDITIONERS IN BOTH ROOM WERE LEAKING ( ,WATER WERE DRIPPING CONSTANTLY),NO HOT WATER IN SHOWER,BAD MAINTANCE OF ROOMS.not worth the money

For reasons explained below, I stayed first in room 105 and then in room 203. All the photos I have supplied are from room 203. Room 105 looks like the photo already on trip advisor but I had a double not a twin bed. Room 105 was slightly rough around the edges e.g. part of the shower stall door was missing but I have to say that that bed was like a bed of roses -- I slept like a baby on it. The room was warm unlike other properties in Baku where I froze my you-know-what off. Indeed, the room was too hot and I shifted the space heater to the bathroom, which was cold, because of the draft coming through the window; but steam from the shower or, when not using the shower, the space heater warmed the bathroom up adequately just that it would bleep annoyingly at 27 degrees centigrade. The aircon is the room itself functioned as a highly effective and quiet heater. There were few guests in the hotel when I was there so there was no real noise (other than when someone attempted to play the piano at 830am one morning) notwithstanding the fact that reception was close to my door. Room 105 has a balcony; not of much use to me because I do not smoke and it was cold out there. I really wanted to switch to a bigger, more well-appointed room for more money and I had, through booking, attempted to reserve such a room but the reservation was bungled by booking -- nothing to do with this hotel. They promised to move me after the first three days (my first) reservation but indeed for the whole second reservation (another three days I was still in room 105; only during the evening of the first day of the third reservation was I able to move to room 203. I never did get the room with a fireplace and there are apparently only three such rooms in the hotel but I was nonetheless satisfied with room 203 except in one regard; it was not possible to turn on the lights in the bathroom without having the ventilator run and the ventilator would rumble like a turboprop engine. There were two electrical switches but the electrical switches were not connected properly to the fixtures; had I resided a full month in this room I would have hired a local electrician to remedy that problem. Instead I put a table with a lamp in that bathroom and refrained from turning on the ceiling lights. For that reason, I would rate my stay more accurately at 4 1/2 stars. (Happily, room 105 did not exhibit the noisy ventilator problem; that ventilator could be shut off, moreover, without needing to turn off the bathroom lights.) Personnel at the hotel are friendly and helpful. I think you would be better understood if you speak Russian rather than English but you could get by just with English. The hotel registered me with the police as that is a requirement for all non-Azeri and non-Kazakh passport holders in Azerbaijan who are staying more than 15 days. A taxi was also arranged for me to get to Baku airport at a cost of just 20 manat. Two hotel personnel helped me with my bags as

Combination of great location and affordable price. Wonderful, friendly staff.
