Kaha Hostel

Baku


Kaha is a well-appointed, high-ceilinged hostel run by switched-on, multilingual, eco-aware folks who seem more interested in creating a convivial social atmosphere than on making money. With its big, single table, the lounge becomes a popular cross-cultural conversation space.

Some dorms are slightly cramped and the bunks a little squeaky but each has a lamp and power point. Decent sized lockers, tiny kitchen, 24-hour staff and fun location handy for Baku's cheapest and most-alternative bars and cafes.
