Crossway Hotel

Baku


The bus station is miles from town so it's worth considering sleeping at this bargain-value place if you have an early-morning bus to catch. Apart from some old carpeting, standards are good for the price. Rooms aren't luxurious, but they have comfy beds and bathrooms with toiletries.

Reception speaks English, there's a 24-hour cafe-restaurant and the central atrium-lounge looks rather smart.
