Sweet House Boutique Hotel

Baku


Sweet is a fair description for this little warren of rooms and courtyards, recycling a couple of small houses and including some ivy-covered half-built 'ruins' to create a lovable boutique guesthouse. Owners speak good English and the Old City location is a joy.

Walk-in prices can be as low as AZN50.
