Baku Express Guest House - PRIVATE rooms with SHARED bathrooms

Great value for money. The hostel is hidden away (we could not find it for a while), but that makes it quiet despite being located in a central area. I liked the "crowd" too - you could call it a kind of traveler's hostel. I appreciated the water, coffee, and tea available for guests.

There was only one bathroom for guests, so there would be queues at times. Also, you couldn't pay by card.

This was only the third or fourth hostel I'd ever stayed in, so I wasn't sure how comfortable I'd feel with this kind of accommodation. In the end, I stayed for 27 days and left feeling like I was leaving a home, not a hostel. One thing that made a big difference for me: even though it's a hostel, each guest has their own small private room. That alone changes the whole experience: you actually get a sense of privacy, which isn't something you'd expect in a hostel setting. The common area is spacious enough that guests can hang out without getting in each other's way. The place is always clean and cozy, with a genuinely warm atmosphere. I've stayed with different hosts before, and the vibe can vary a lot, from distant to friendly. Here, it was completely different: the host is extremely hospitable, attentive and helpful and actually listens when you have a request or a suggestion. Small things, but they make a real difference: free tea, coffee, and water are included, which isn't a given at every hostel. There's also a small terrace right outside, with a couch and a table, perfect for having tea, smoking, or just sitting outside without really leaving the hostel. I spent a lot of evenings there. The location is great too. It's close to the city center and the 28 May metro station, with cafes, restaurants, shops, and a mall within walking distance. There are also a few good bakery spots nearby, perfect for a quick, simple breakfast. So I'm happy with my choice. It's rare to find a place where you actually feel at home.
