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!
