Hyatt Regency Baku: Too Far from the City Center

Hyatt Regency Baku Hotel Review is part of the Reunion Tour Trip Report.


Getting There: Take Bolt from the airport for 12 manat ($7) (see Bolt Azerbaijan: My Preferred Rideshare).

I need to do a better job of researching hotels before booking. I assume when I see a brand-name like Hyatt it automatically is in a great location. Clearly, I have not learned my lesson from my stay at the Hyatt Osaka (see Where Are You Hyatt Regency Osaka?).

Location

The Hyatt Baku is not located near the old town or close to the major sites. This is not the hotel for tourists looking to explore Baku by foot.

TPOL’s Tip: Bolt only costs a few manat to get to the old town.

Price

Perhaps the reason I did not research the location is because of the measly number of points it costs to stay here. The room retails at $166 per night but goes for only 5,000 points.a building with trees and a palm tree in front of it

Room

As a Globalist, I was upgraded to a junior suite with a lot of furniture. When staying alone, I would rather have a deluxe oversized room than two rooms of which I will only use one.a bed in a hotel rooma room with a bed and a television a tv on a dresser in a room

Bathroom

The room had an extra toilet in the living room that I did not use and a bathtub in the master that I also did not use. The shower had low water pressure.a bathroom with sinks and bathtub small bottles of liquid on a corner shelf a shower with a shower head and a shelf a bathtub and toilet in a bathroom

Suite

It’s often an adventure to figure out how to turn on the espresso machine. I managed to do so and make espresso. The next time I tried, it was blinking red and my attempts to troubleshoot proved fruitless.a coffee machine and cups on a table

Lounge

I was staying on the 8th floor. The lounge was conveniently located on the 7th via a dangerous spiral staircase. It was easier to head to the lounge for espresso than wait for an engineer to come to my room.

Overall

The hotel was good enough but I would recommend the Courtyard Baku for those here for leisure.
