Traditional Azerbaijani food. Plenty of kebab and rice dishes.
Extremely friendly manager who can speak excellent English and German (due to his years spend living in Germany as a civil engineer before he returned back to Iran to build this hotel), along with other languages. Can help organise trips to Babak Castle and other places in East Azerbaijan Province. The rooms are querkily decorated with an eccentric modern style. Wifi is fine in the lobby but a bit patchy in the rooms.
