What guests say.
Stayed in Room 503 Spacious and comfortable rooms with beautiful views of the city and the Caspian Sea. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Mrs. Mehriban was especially very kind, professional, and attentive. The hotel is clean and well maintained, creating a comfortable stay. Guests can enjoy a good breakfast and relaxing facilities, including the pool and spa. Located in a peaceful environment away from the busy city noise.
According to the locals, this was once the city’s first luxury hotel, but today it feels like a throwback to the 90s. While you’ll still find plenty of gilding, heavy carpets, and massive chandeliers, the style is dated rather than modern. Location & Views Location: The hotel is situated right next to the stunning Heydar Aliyev Center, which is a plus for walks and photo opportunities. Views: Upper floors offer a beautiful panoramic view of the city. Dining & Breakfast The Buffet: Rated as "average." There is a decent selection, but it’s quite standard and repeats daily. Quality: You’ll find fresh vegetables, cheeses, and made-to-order eggs, but foodies might find it a bit boring. On the bright side, they serve honeycomb and two types of porridge. Amenities Pool: It appears to be out of service—it wasn't offered or mentioned during the stay.
Excellent Stay at European Hotel Baku Highly Recommended! As an Australian guest, we had the pleasure of staying at Grand European Hotel Baku from 29th December 2025 to 8th January 2026, and we must say it was a truly satisfying experience. The staff were extremely polite and professional throughout our stay. I would especially like to thank Ms. Elnara, who provided our room service, she was always kind, attentive, and helpful in every way. The hotel facilities were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the massage service, which was one of the best I’ve experienced. A special thanks to Ms. Ruhieh for her outstanding and professional massage therapy, we highly recommend all guests to try her service! The reception team was also very helpful and welcoming. Mr. Kanan at the front desk provided us with great support and information whenever needed. The breakfast buffet was varied, fresh, and delicious, and overall, the hotel atmosphere was warm and very comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Grand European Hotel Baku to anyone visiting the city. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!
