Kahran Hostel

Azerbaijan


One of the best hostels in rural Azerbaijan. Dorm beds come with drawer lockers, there's a large shared kitchen and one of the shop-units downstairs has a coffeeshop-cafe. The youthful owners speak excellent English.

Kahran sits above the co-owned RaJa Indian Restaurant, around 600m southwest of the Riverside Ropeway.
