This is a very good hotel, in a prime location. Staff were amazing, atmosphere throughout the hotel is luxurious, the breakfasts is very good.
Our room was very big and comfortable. The room is quite, despite the central location.

The only things that threw us off were some overlooked details -
There is only 1 towel hook in a double room.
During shower, water pours outside, and the whole floor gets wet.
The coffee machine is located in a spot that doesn't allow its operation. We had to play with its electrical cable and manually move it, in order to be able to use it.
Also, once, after a very long shower, we ran out of hot water (this happened once, and didn't persist).

All in all, non of the downsides is major or a deal breaker, but at this price point we feel this shouldn't have happened.

A very conveniently located hotel, very close to the main sites in the old city and plenty of restaurants to pick from for lunch or dinner. We stayed in a Deluxe Twin Room which was spacious enough for 2 adults. The bathroom was large but the bidet was not user-friendly (an issue I had in most hotels in Azerbaijan). There is not really a proper view from the room, you just see behind the hotel onto a main street. The breakfast area was quite small but never got too crowded when we visited in mid-June. The options were sufficient. One slight issue is that the room card only goes to the floor your room is situated in. The gym was located on another floor, so I had to go to reception every time to get someone to take me to the gym. The road to the hotel was closed when we visited (possibly in preparation for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix) so was quiet, but down the road, is the very busy main road.

The staff were friendly and helpful. We flew out very early for our flight home and the staff were great enough to provide us a good portion for breakfast in the morning.

I would definitely recommend this hotel as its located in a superb location, very close to the historical sites and the boulevard alongside the Caspian Sea. Restaurants and shops nearby as well.

Awesome hotel in a great location in Baku

The service and stay was excellent. Having travelled in the region for a couple of weeks, this was by far the best hotel I stayed in. The rooms were large and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful and the breakfast was substantial. The location was really good as well. Very closed to the old city and other sites.
My only negative was I asked for two issues to be looked into, one was the toilet seat, which didn't seem to be addressed and the AC, which again was difficult to see if it was attended to. However, overall this is an excellent hotel and I would definitely stay here again without question.

Wonderful tasteful impeccably clean rooms and public spaces with a mostly very professional staff, the pleasure in this hotel is the thoughtful touches in each room. Having said this, while soundproofing of windows to outside streets (very busy and active at night) is pretty good, soundproofing to hallways and next door rooms is abysmal and it was not possible to get staff to implement some measure of sound control for totally out of control party rooms. This meant zero sleep in a beautiful room.

Good Hotel with Good location

The quality of hotel and location are very good. There was a slight leaking issue on our last night that came from the ceiling. If not for that, I would have rated it 5 stars.

The Merchant Baku organized a smooth airport pick-up which put us at ease at the start. At the reception, the personable Mr. Pervez made the usual processes effortless. The location of the hotel was great and our room was comfortable. The Dining area Supervisor, Mr. Nahid was an excellent host and took care of our choices while Mr. Akbar provided prompt service. Although our trip was short, we had a lovely holiday, all thanks to the hotel staff who made it possible. We look forward to our next trip to Baku!

Great hotel but disappointing service

I was looking forward to staying at the hotel and really wanted to score it high but the service was really disappointing. It's a beautiful boutique hotel in a perfect location next to the old town and buzzy area of bars and restaurants. I really enjoyed my stay there. The problem was that when i was trying to call the hotel, the call didn't go through, then when it did it said the call transfer failed and when I got to talk to reservations, the lady told me couldn't transfer the call as she had no such option and I needed to call again. With the 10th attempt, I gave up. We called room service three times on different occassions. Only once they brought what we asked for. The other two times no one bothered and when we called the reception to tell them that nothing had arrived and we were going to sleep they said they were sorry without any attempt to actually chase to deliver what we asked for. We also checked breakfast started at 7am, whereas the guy at the reception insisted it started at 7.30 and then told me to go the bar to check, I told him that he should go and confirm and not sending the guest to sort it out. The service was really disappointing. The only competent person was the bar manager who always greeted us with a smile and ensured we were ok. Long wait for a coffee at breakfast too. I would say, more smiling, more thinking about the guest would help. It's a great hotel as a building though. Very small gym.

Amazing Boutique Hotel!

Very beautiful boutique hotel located in the heart of Baku. Staff was friendly and professional, comfortable room, sparkling clean! Only small comment - it could be nice to improve the breakfast, bread and cake were dry and disappointing. All the rest was fresh and tasty.

As per my travel experience, I would say Baku is underrated as a travel destination, and it's the best city to visit in the Caucasus region.

Amazing Merchant

This hotel is amazing. It is trendy, comfortable, has spacious rooms, lovely balconies, yummy breakfast, and amazing staff. The location is perfect for getting to Old Town, the Carpet Museum, and many other locales without needing a taxi. The front desk coordinated on-sight COVID tests for our group and organized a wonderful day trip with an amazing guide. We enjoyed the bar and lounge at night and the helpful service all around. We will come back!!

From the moment we arrived until the timevwe left, the staff were so friendly and couldnt do enough to help. Thats from eception staff to bar staff to cleanrs. Wonderful service. The twin room was very large with a table and chairs. Extra large tv. Tea and coffee avaliable. Fridge empty but proabaly because of covid restrictions. Bathroom very clean with separate WC enclosure, large shower cubicle and best stocked bathroom for the traveller who had forgotten anything. Clean fresh towels , bathrobes, slippers, toothbrushes, combs, shaving kits, shower caps, shampoo shower gel. Top notch throughout stay. Magnificent hotel for thevprice. Highly recommended. Good location for the Old Town and nearby shopping area. Ovrall probably on poer with the best hotels I have ever stayed in

Fantastic Location, Tasteful, Historic Decoration

This is a great property and I highly recommend it. It is on par with a very, very nice boutique hotel experience in either the US or Western Europe. The rooms were (I think probably on par or nicer than the 21C Museum Hotels in the US, as an example). extremely clean and tastefully decorated (really high quality furnishing and stylish at that), the help was great when I needed service, the lounge area where food is served was quite stylish and yet historical. Do note that breakfast is not a buffet: it is made to order, and sometimes is not immediate and only starts at 7:30 a.m., so not great if you have early morning obligations (drawback). I also noticed that with both of the rooms I stayed in, the rainfall shower head always had one tiny spot that gave cold water. The location is fantastic, just blocks from Fountain Square. I didn't use either the bar or food service besides breakfast or the spa or gym. I have also stayed at one of the other elite chain hotels in Baku (with one of the flagship buildings we all know) and I would say that this experience compared was comparable. It is a great value! Only other drawback: some noisier guests might be possible, but little street noise (and it is in a popular area, so well insulated from outside).
