The welcome and the staff was very good, from the bell boys to reception. I did not eat breakfast as I was out late as I was there for football and out late. it was easy to get a cab, they had a driver nearby, i paid about 15 Manat into the center. On the way back it varied, you must haggle, I think 10 is about the lowest. The hotel is a bit out of the city, I booked as it was full for the EUFA final, most taxis could find, i took the hotel card. Certainly not in the main tourist part. But good value at that time.
