The Merchant Baku

I believe The Merchant Hotel is the best in Baku. From the moment you walk in the front door, you feel welcomed and you receive true personal service. The staff are always friendly and go out of their way to provide extra service suggesting places to visit and things to do as well. The rooms are large, clean, and in a great style. The hotel is so quiet at night, so you get a great night's sleep. The breakfast room is stunning with a glass roof so it's like sitting in a courtyard. The variety of food is mesmerizing. The service from the watering staff in the breakfast room is the best. They are constantly making sure you are happy and enjoying your breakfast. They accommodate so many different cultures with food from various countries. The location of the hotel is excellent, right near the Old Town and not far to walk to major sights. There is even a lovely scent continually sprayed throughout the hotel so the place is forever amusing your senses. The bar in the evening is fun to sit at as they often have a live singer to entertain. Compliments to Javar, the assistant manager was always friendly and helpful, providing professional assistance to every guest. I loved Baku, it was a glorious surprise. Staying at the amazing Merchant Hotel in Baku made the whole trip not only an amazing experience but a truly memorable one. I highly recommend it and I will be staying there again many times in the future.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel centrally located. Baku's charming old town (including Gosha Gala Gapysy) is just a few steps away, making it an ideal location for tourists. There are also a number of great azerbaijani restaurant options nearby. The hotel is also close to a wide range of local boutiques and shops. My room was spacious and very clean. The lobby area and restaurant were very elegant and welcoming. Staff were professional and friendly. Breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold dishes, with cold pressed fresh juices offered daily. I also tried their massage/spa service, which was very relaxing after a long day of exploring Baku. This hotel was so perfect that I couldn't find any flaws.

Stunning Boutique Hotel on a fantastic location close to excellent Vibe in the evenings and nights. It’s exceptionally hospitable and romantic. Foodstuffs are great and the staff are friendly and helpful at all times. We would highly recommend and definitely return. Thank you to all!! Shabbir from UK.

The location couldn't be better. If want to be in the center of the action and a stones throw away from the old town, this is your hotel. There are no negatives to this hotel. They mix up the breakfast every morning so it isn't the exact same thing every day and their cocktails are excellent. As an aside, if you have dollars left over, you may want to exchange them back before you leave the country. It's hard to find an exchange place stateside that will exchange manate.
