We stayed for 4 nights at Parkside Hotel in Baku. The front desk people & housekeeping were welcoming, friendly and eager to help. Breakfast consisted of a big spread of western and eastern food choices. The hotel is close to a metro station. It's within walking distance to small stores but not to restaurants. The room we chose was huge and had 2 tv sets, and a kitchenette with a tiny refrigerator, microwave, electric carafe, stove & china. I liked their kitchenette as it allowed us to make our own coffee and tea anytime. It also had elevators. The tour we were in chose this hotel for us.
