We had a rest with my husband on September 24-27 after an excursion program in Baku. It takes 40 minutes to drive from Baku to the hotel, the hotel is located in the village of Jorat, a 10-minute drive from Sumgait. The hotel is located along a fairly busy highway on the first line, the rooms are large with high ceilings and full-length paned windows 4m wide and 3m high, but the rooms where the windows overlook the highway are matte, not transparent, and the rooms with sea views just have a gorgeous view, we paid 40 manats to us they moved with a view of the sea and did not regret it, although the gorgeous view was accompanied by nightly local music from 18 to 23h and even closed windows did not help, but we go to bed late and it was tolerable for us. The beach was dirty, covered in cigarette butts and other debris, there were stationary umbrellas, but there were no sun beds, because it was no longer the bathing season, but we were the only ones swimming, although the water was cool and the waves were due to the wind, which, as the locals said, blows here all year round. There is nowhere to dry swimsuits, towels and damp clothes, if you rest for 7 days or more during the bathing season, then this is a problem. There is also nowhere to wash our feet from the sand after the beach, in order not to carry sand to the room, we washed our feet at the watering pipe. Breakfasts are meager and monotonous-ready-made omelets, fried eggs, boiled eggs, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, sausage. There were few people, so there was enough for everyone. There is a kettle and tea accessories in the room, a TV (there are no Russian programs), a refrigerator, a hairdryer, air conditioning, almost all sockets do not work, no one has cleaned for three days. In the bathroom, the shower separates a small glass from the toilet and splashes everything. There is a minibus stop to Sumgait nearby, we went 1 time, 50 local kopecks a ticket, there is not much to see, we took a photo of a pigeon (the symbol of Sumgait), walked along the embankment, 50 meters to the sea from the edge of the embankment, you can not swim in Sumgait itself, changed money, bought fruits at the market. In the center of the village of Jorat (a 7-minute walk from the hotel), you can also buy fruits in a shop, but there is less choice. The building has an ancient bathhouse of the 17th century and an ancient mosque, but the mosque is fenced with a new solid fence and the service takes place outside, because the mosque has not been restored. In general, you can live for 3 days.
I've been staying in this hotel for 25 days. It was much more than enough to understand everything about him.
From the good:
1) view from the window if the windows of the room face the sea.
(Well, that's probably it)
From the bad:
1) Firstly, the hotel is not worth the money, at least by a third.
2) Secondly, he does not match his stated arrivals. Declared as many as 4 stars. In fact, I would give no more than two.
3) Expensive and not tasty in a restaurant. Although, the locals say that this restaurant is considered good. Not true! Poor service, few people understand Russian, most of the dishes on the menu are missing. Well, it's expensive, compared to restaurants in the city, where it's even more beautiful, tastier and cheaper.
4) The rooms are large but clueless.
High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, all double-glazed windows of poor quality and siphon from the wind day and night.
5) It is very private in the rooms and even in the whole building, it smells like sewage. For some reason, no one ever does anything about it until you start complaining. As a result, they go, open some kind of hatch there, and after a couple of hours the smell disappears. Why it is necessary to close this hatch so that the whole body stinks - it is not clear.
6) In any room of this hotel it is always dusty, not tidy, there may be stained bed linen, dirty floor, toilet paper, shampoos, hangers, disposable slippers, batteries in the remote control for the air conditioner (they were given to me on the third day, from another room. and before that, they said that such batteries are sold in the store across the street).
7) All rooms in the hotel are smoky, all the fittings on the windows are broken. Sometimes there is no handle at all to open the window. Either by opening the window, it doesn't close afterwards. It is very noisy in the room due to the fact that on the one hand there is music from the restaurant until 23 o'clock, and the wind from the sea. The cracks in the windows from the wind sing louder than a disco in a restaurant. And on the other hand, the road is quite busy. You can hear every car, as if there are no windows at all.
8) Plumbing leaks, to wait for hot water in the shower, you need to turn on the shower and wait 10 minutes. After that, hot water will run. In the shower, a square of coating and a stone fell from the ceiling. Along the way, from somewhere even higher than the ceiling, a stone fell on this very ceiling, and a square panel that makes up the ceiling fell into the shower from it. At night, while I was sleeping, the door jamb assembly fell from the bathroom door, just like that. I was startled awake by the sound of the falling frame from the door.
9) Breakfast is the same every day for 25 days. This is fried eggs or scrambled eggs with grated tomatoes. As a rule, everything is always on the buffet, everything is always cold. Cucumbers, tomatoes, not tasty sausages and not tasty sausage, not expensive, not very tasty cheese, kaymak, honey, olives, tea, tortillas, boiled eggs, condensed milk, some kind of not tasty sweetness like thick jam.
The tablecloths are dirty, on the tables, which are about 15 people, there are plates with garbage from those who have already eaten.
10) The beach is catastrophically dirty. Bottles, cigarette butts, papers, rags, cleaning and other garbage are everywhere.
11) It's a long way to civilization. A couple of kilometers on foot to get more or less into the city. Nearby is the faceless village of Jorat, with narrow streets, lack of sidewalks and shops.
I'm tired of being there. The impressions are negative. I do not recommend it.
Hello everyone
We stayed at this hotel in August.
I write everything as it is.
Cons:
The rooms are very dirty. The floors are not washed. There is a lot of dust behind the sofas and on the bindings of the windows.
The windows are dirty. Stained with hands.
The mirrored wall is dirty. The bedside lamps are full of dust.
There is a strong smell of sewage in the bathroom from time to time. The plumbing is worn out.
All the towels are old and torn.
The refrigerator in the room is old and dirty.
There are few hangers in the closet. Only four.
There are no tumble dryers in the rooms. People come to bathe and do their laundry every day. How do they get out of it?
There is no drinking water in the room. You can buy two bottles of the cheapest water and put it on every day. It's not expensive. Really?
The hotel has a restaurant, but there is no menu in the rooms. Put a menu with a phone number in each room and there will be a full-fledged room service.
The locks on the doors are old and loose.
The area around the hotel is dirty, especially the beach. Empty bottles, cigarette butts, and glass fragments are lying right on the stairs. Clean up the surrounding area. It's free!
And most importantly…
Right under the windows, in the evening, the music program began until eleven in the evening…
No comments.
There are only two advantages.
1. View of the Caspian Sea from the window.
2. Helpful staff at breakfast.
Until all the shortcomings are eliminated, I do not recommend it!
We stayed at the hotel from May 4th to May 12th, 2024. Nice hotel. Attentive staff. Many people speak Russian. There were no problems with understanding. Samira, Farida, Anar, choh sahol. They are very attentive and friendly. We had a room with a sea view. The room has a safe, kettle, tea set, hairdryer, bathrobes, slippers, bathroom accessories, towels are provided on the beach. There is no cleaning every day, ask the maids, they will do everything. We asked, the girls are very attentive and pleasant. Bottled water is also given.
And the biggest advantage of this hotel is its proximity to the sea. He left the room and dived into the Caspian Sea. The beach is wide, the entry into the sea is gradual.
In general, we highly recommend this hotel.
We were not satisfied with this hotel, it is not possible to rest during the day from the sound of music, they pull for 3 stars, the cup is broken, hygiene for two people (soap, gel, shampoo)one at a time, slippers -1, water can be heard dripping in the room, in order to bathe with warm water, cold water should start at the beginning of 10 minutes, then warm water. For recreation, I do not recommend amenities and price, only the restaurant food matches the stars
Super location relative to the sea. The first line. Sun beds and umbrellas are free for hotel guests. There is no cleaning of the beach, there is a lot of garbage on the beach.
Too expensive. There was no kettle in the room but there was tea and cups. Stunning view on the third floor in the rooms with sea views, but there are barbecues and a restaurant downstairs, all the smoke goes into the windows. I liked that there are opening mosquito nets on the windows, spacious and beautiful rooms. You can take beautiful sunrise photos right from the room.
We went to eat at a "decent" place with a view of the sea to celebrate my birthday. There were no desserts, although I wanted a birthday cake, but it didn't upset me so much. We made an order for meat - steak, potatoes and salad. After a long time of waiting, food was brought to us, and bones were brought instead of steak. The husband began to politely clarify about the meat and ask to bring normal meat, to which the waiter began to dust, raise his voice, defend something, then called another man, probably the manager, began to prove that we ordered it, and not what we pointed at in the menu. Then another man came, but as a result, just ruined the evening. They did not eat. The service is terrible, no one offered a solution to the problem, no one apologized, and no bonus was offered. We won't come here again. If you don't want to ruin your dinner, look for another place too.
The first time I encountered such poor service. Hurtful
It's a shame for the loss of time and festive mood!
My wife had a birthday, the whole day was spent in euphoria and walking, in the evening we decided to go to eat by the sea in a restaurant from the hotel which is located on the shore.
When we arrived, they showed us the code by which the menu opens and you can place an order. After opening it, they began to choose from the menu, ordered jam tea and water right away.
The waiter does not understand Russian, only some words, showed him the steak antricode that asked in the menu:
— What is the meat and weight?
He: wrote 200 weight on the calculator, the meat is a ram.
He said okay, bring it.
As a result, after 20 minutes they bring me 2 bones on which, if you try very hard, 20 grams of meat can be picked out. I clarified this what? Steak?
To which the waiter began to raise his voice proving that I ordered it, after which people who spoke Russian came to us in turn with the waiter and proved that I had ordered it wrong. The mood was ruined as well as the appetite.
We did not arrive at the meal, I asked to count and pack a part of the tc for us, there is no mood, no appetite.
It's a pity for the owners who invested money in this, but did not cultivate a simple rule into a cult: "The customer is always right," we could just say we will do it now and we paid more than we paid in the end, and after that we would come more than once. As a result, they argued with us, proving that we are not like that!
Well, it's a shame for the wasted time. On the beach of Sumgait, they found an outwardly decent, good-quality institution with a lot of tables, a lot of staff just sleeps on the spot, waiting for guests. Well, it would seem that they waited. A jug of mors and a glass of draft beer were waiting for 20 minutes. We continue to wait for pizza and shawarma. I couldn't stand it and decided to write a review.
Well, really, the owners have invested a lot of money and everything merges at the level of performers. Nobody understands almost anything in Russian. Good. Speke English? Do they look at us as....
Do they want to be like other bourgeois? I agree, we also have the same thing, but then the price tag is different.
PS while I was typing a lot of letters, nothing was brought. 30 minutes have passed. I will not occupy your attention further.

A wonderful hotel. The sea is nearby. The only problem is with the cleaning of the rooms. In 9 days, they cleaned up once because they were invited.
From the second floor there is a magnificent view of the Caspian Sea through a panoramic window. The breakfasts are huge and very satisfying. There is also a restaurant in the hotel, apparently very popular, but we never ate there.
The hotel is far from 4 stars. The condition of the rooms is terrible. If you just want to relax, then this hotel is not for you. The program is musical daily from 17 o'clock to 24 o'clock. Music plays terribly loud on any floor of the hotel. Room service takes at least an hour and a half. I do not recommend this hotel from the word at all.
Cozy rooms, if you are lucky enough to take a view of the sea. Nice beach. A pleasant sea. The food in the restaurant is mediocre, it gets boring in three days.
Every evening from 8 to 11 there are parties with a saxophone. It's all right under the windows. It was very noisy, we lived for 5 days, and all 5 had to listen to it. They complained - to no avail. Rooms with a view of the road should be quieter, but there are cloudy windows, just like in the basement.
Lovely polite staff, very spacious rooms - stylish, pleasant, location on the 1st line, its own beach, restaurant with a terrace by the sea, cleanliness.
It was cozy, a very beautiful room, but at night something was buzzing nearby on the street, it looked like a transformer, it was very disturbing to sleep, and passing large cars prevented sleeping
1. Waiters should know foreign languages better.
2. It takes a very long time to wait for the waiter. But the bill is brought quickly.
3. It is necessary to clean the beach from cigarette butts, bags, etc. garbage
