About

Excelsior Hotel & Spa Baku

Excelsior Hotel & Spa Baku sits on Heydar Aliyev Avenue, roughly 25 km from Heydar Aliyev airport. The property keeps a low-key atmosphere, noted by guests as a retreat from the busier city-centre crowds, while still within reach of restaurants and a nearby mall.

The hotel pairs a 4-star price point with a broad amenity list: an indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, tennis court, jacuzzi, and a spa bathtub in select rooms. Breakfast is served as a buffet with continental options, and guests consistently praise both the spread and the friendly staff.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Spacious, well-equipped rooms — Guests repeatedly mention large, nicely decorated rooms with comfortable beds, and some units include a jacuzzi or spa bathtub.
  • Standout staff service — Several reviews single out the reception team and manager for warm, helpful attention from check-in onward.
  • Indoor pool and fitness complex — The gym and indoor swimming pool receive specific praise as an exceptional facility combo.
  • Solid breakfast with local options — The buffet breakfast is consistently called out as good, with local dishes available.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Away from the city centre — The hotel sits outside Baku's core, requiring a 20-minute walk to the nearest metro station and a bit more effort to reach central sights.
  • Staff inconsistency at times — While most service is praised, a few employees came across as less friendly in one review.
  • Price may feel high for the location — At £749 per night, the rate is significant given the distance from the centre; the area's average rating is 8.3, slightly above this hotel's 8.0 score.

“The location was great, peaceful and away from the hustle. Ms. Gular at reception went out of her way to help — easily the best front-desk service I've had. The junior suite was spacious, spotless, and the large balcony was a treat. Breakfast impressed too.”

8Verified guest

“Mostly excellent, though a couple of staff members came across as curt. The breakfast was perfect, with local dishes on offer. Service overall was strong — exactly what we needed.”

8Verified guest

“Solid hotel, but it's a fair distance from the centre and feels a little isolated. Rooms were comfortable, and the gym and pool complex were outstanding.”

“All in all, a pleasant stay.”

8Verified guest

“The room was nicely decorated, generously sized, and had a huge comfy bed, plus all the amenities and a jacuzzi bath. Location worked well for us — close to a good mall for meals, and the in-house restaurant served breakfast for guests.”

“The staff's service was excellent and a big part of what made the stay so positive. My room was beautiful with a perfect bed for a restful sleep, and the city view from the window was lovely.”
