Very polite and friendly staff, inside is clean and nice, beds are comfortable, the water pressure is good. Outside there is a very nice walking area. There were very small problems with the hood and air conditioning, but they were quickly solved. I am grateful for the comfort and helpfulness!

Budget bargain.
We steadied in the private room, which was of hotel standard. There was some noise, but that was to be expected, as a hostel. The facilities were good, although we didn't use them. The room was big, the bed comfortable, and the balcony gave us so excellent view of the flame towers. A very enjoyable stay, well worth the money.

Great hostel in a great location in Baku
The Sahil Hostel is located in a great neighborhood and is within walking distance of just about all Baku has to offer. The hostel itself (located on the second floor of the building) is inviting and secure. (There is also an elevator near the staircase that I missed upon arriving at night.) I found the mattresses a bit hard, but other than that the bunks were well thought out in order to meet a traveler's needs. The room was also nice and spacious. If you're in the female dorm near the common room, bring earplugs as it can get a bit loud. If I'm ever in Baku again, I'd definitely stay at the Sahil Hostel again! I even ran into an old friend from college who was also staying here. Great minds think alike!

We stayed in the family room which had plenty of room, was clean and basic. We piled our things on our beds and the floor as there are no tables or shelves. We had two sets of towels for the three of us. Shower was adequate, though slow to drain and fan too noisy to use. AC worked well. Curtains for bunks need repairs to the velcro. The biggest thing to know is that this property can not process a credit card from the U.S.

Hard to find all publications say number 27 yet it is just next door to 59. Comment yes they have renumbered the street but not updated their data. Through the door dismal. Skungy dirty staircase for 3 levels not quite up to 3rd world standard. Once you make it to reception, if you haven't left already the room in neat and tidy

I had the privilege of staying at Sahil Hostel for two nights. It goes without saying that I HIGHLY recommend this place for the following reasons: Location: The hostel is located two blocks away from Baku Boulevard (the Caspian Sea promenade). It is also a minute’s walk from the Sahil metro station, a 15-minute walk from Icheri Sheher, and a 15-minute walk from Nizami street – thus making walkable to almost every key attraction in the city (with the exception of Heydar Aliyev Center). The Staff: The staff really does go out of the way to help – right from letting me take a shower at the hostel before check-in, to helping me book a tour to Gobustan, to providing me with bus routes to catch a Caspian sea sunrise from Dagustu Park, to answering my endless barrage of questions (thanks Nika – I hope I spelled your name correctly - you are certifiably awesome!). Activities: The hostel seems to organize activities over the weekend. This is something they should promote even more on their facebook page etc. so that guests that can time their visits around these activities. Had I known of these earlier, I would have definitely arrived in Baku earlier and stayed at the hostel earlier than my scheduled dates. Long story short. I would stay NOWHERE else besides Sahil Hostel in Baku given a choice.

The dorm beds are fantastically comfortable with curtains offering privacy. I loved the kitchen, a welcoming place to make meals and relax. If you want to meet people, it's a very social hostel, but if you need space to be alone and gather your thoughts you can do that too. Considering how many guests stay here, they do good maintenance, but some wear and tear is starting to show. Still, it's outstanding value for the price.

Very helpful staff. Great location, close to main sites, shopping, dining. The private room is small but well set up. If needed, there is a kitchen area to eat and prepare food. We did laundry at the hostel which was a great deal but it did take a while! The only real complain was our shower due it water building up at our feet. Regardless, I'd definitely recommend Sahil Hostel & Hotel for a great budget option in Baku.

JUST AMAZING!!!
Amazing service! Perfect location, close to the center, on a gorgeous street. The staff at the reception were so patient with me— I was shocked! The room was spotless clean and beautifully designed. They have gadgets and services and advice for all kinds of things. The way from the entrance to the actual hostel can be confusing and not as nice as the hostel itself, but once you enter the hostel— you feel great. I loved Azerbaijan because of this hostel.

Nice traveler atmosphere, close to many attraction
This hostel is a very nice place for the people who like hostels. The location is excellent for night life, "old town'' attractions, bus routes and the waterfront. Inside the hostel the staff is helpful and pleasant, there is a tremendous "traveler friendly" atmosphere in the common area. The cleaning staff is constantly cleaning, scrubbing or just making the place nice. I stayed a total of 6 nights, I felt comfortable and welcomed each day. There are many WC and shower rooms near the "dorm room'' set up. There is a nice balcony outside the common room to see the skyline and nightlife flow. Bring you own food and beverages to use in the very clean kitchen. The only drawback is the Sahil subway station just a short walk away is being renovated for the near future, so the subway is a longer, but not awful walk. Walking and touring is exceedingly safe in Baku. I have ZERO negative things to say about the hostel and city.

clean hostel in great convenient location
Clean and great facilities, comfortable bed, bathroom awesome. I had private room. Easy to reach by public transport. Take the airport express bus (easy to find outside the airport) to the train station downtown, then take the 125 bus to a stop close to the hostel. Easy to use and the people are very helpful to tourists. Close to most major sites. They also sponsor tours to sites around Ajerbaijan. I would stay here again if I visited Baku.

Razoável
- A única coisa que gostei foi da localização. - Num dia, apenas dois duches masculinos estavam a funcionar. Esperei 25 minutos à entrada e ninguém saía de lá de dentro, até que desisti e fui me embora. Como eu, já havia mais duas pessoas à espera. - o hotel está cheio de indianos e paquistaneses que aparentam fazer do hostel a sua casa e aqui estão longas temporadas. Conversam até altas horas sem querer saber dos outros. - as casas de banho estavam sempre todas sujas e molhadas. - Desapareceu-me um pijama que tinha deixado em cima da cama. - no primeiro dia, as camas não tinham cortina. Deviam estar a lavar. Mas não tinham substitutas?

バス・トイレ付き個室に4泊。 立地が抜群で、千代田区の真ん中あたりにある感じ。地下鉄徒歩数分、飲食店、スーパーなど何でもあり、旧市街も徒歩圏内。これで4000円もかからないので、お得感がある。 個室系とドミトリー系が隔離されているのも素晴らしい。ドミトリー系の喧騒がかなり抑えられ、ぐっすり眠れた。 共同キッチンには冷蔵庫、電子レンジあり。洗濯する場合は、洗剤を3マナトで買わされるが、花王アタック携帯用を持っていたので、無料で洗濯機を使えた。 問題は二つ。 まず、WiFiが弱く、電波を求めてレセプション付近に人々が集まりがち。都心の若者客主体のホステルとして、WiFi軽視は大きな減点ポイント。未明早朝帯は部屋でも拾いやすくなるが、基本的に部屋ではまともに使えなかった。 冷房を部屋では調節できないため、寒かった。集中制御らしく、コントローラーはレセプション付近にあるのみ。特異体質のガイジンが極端に設定温度を下げると、私の部屋を含むホステル全体が寒くなる。私が試しに温度をしれっと25度に上げてみたが、数時間後には21度にされていた。

Hotellin sijainti on hyvä rantakadun lähellä, lyhyt kävelymatka vanhaan kaupunkiin ja metroasema on aivan vieressä. Lähellä on myös paljon kauppoja ja ravintoloita. Huone oli siisti ja riittävän tilava, nettiyhteys toimi hyvin ja nopeasti. Ainoa huono puoli oli että huone oli aivan liian kuuma (26-29 astetta) eikä lämpötilaa saanut itse säädettyä mitenkään.

地下鉄Sahil駅の目の前、とは言わないまでも徒歩で十分行ける距離で、 都心の28マイ駅にも気合を入れれば歩ける。 海岸公園も近く立地は抜群。 共同ドミトリーに宿泊したが部屋もきれいで、トイレとシャワーも価格を考えると信じられないほど清潔。 従業員の方もいろいろな質問に親身に答えてくれるし、まじめかつ優しい。 なぜかどこのスーパーでもタオルだけは手に入らず、ここで2マナトで売っていて非常に助かった。 600円程度でこれほど素晴らしいホステルに出会ったことがない。アゼルバイジャンではここしか泊まったことが無いがこれが普通なのだろうか。自分は感動した。 私事ながらアゼルバイジャンは結構酷い人間ばっかりだったので、このホステルと従業員の存在だけが救いだった。

This hostel really really worth for the money and really convenient. Just 10mins you can found a lots of restaurants around. But if you choose the private bed room please consider. Because you can have lovely balcony, which is nice. But on the other hand you will have noisy car sound around you even in 12am or 3am. You can also wake up so early since a lot of traffic cross by since 5am
