What a nice historic building and how poorly managed – it is awful, to say the least. If they only can take care of their washrooms, it could become pleasure to stay over here. Managers in hospitality branch, without this much sense should be sent home packing, at the earliest. I am uploading few photos, make your own judgment. Absolutely... More

It's not every day that you have the chance to sleep in a genuine Silk-Road-ear caravanserai, so this hotel seems like it should not be missed. It's very cheap, too. But it's a government-run property, and it shows in every respect. My single room was more like a two-part prison cell. It has potential, with its vaulted brick-and-mortar ceilings, but... More

This Hotel promised much but failed to deliver on everything except the historic ambience. OK this is a real Caravan Serai so it might be unreasonable to expect contemporary furnishings but the rooms are run down and this detracts from the beautiful grounds and wonderful architecture. Heritage properties like this need more than just a little TLC but I wasnt... More

This is an old karavansaray. Keep that in mind. It looks really nice on the outside, a beautiful entry area, a quaint restaurant and bar. The rooms are basic and run down, but it fits with the atmosphere of the place. I think it is the most interesting stay in Şeki. It is not a romantic place, but a fun... More

On arrival, I was very impressed. The entry has a high vaulted ceiling, is dimly lit, and looks very much as you would imagine a caravanserai would have looked like. The courtyard is lovely, with very well tended gardens full of roses in full bloom. The garden beyond, where meals are served was wonderful, garden well kept, and peonies and... More

This place seems to get very mixed love, but I suspect it all comes down to managing expectations. This former karavansarai is in the far north west of Azerbaijan, in the foothills of the mountains separating Azerbaijan and Russia. Sure, it was once on the Silk Road, but now, really, it's off the road to nowhere. That said, though, Sheki... More

I love this place! Most of the time (in the winter) I was the only guest but always looked after. When I stayed there was no bathrooms / hot water but that summed up life in these parts. We eventually put a shower in ourselves. Sure 5 star hotels are great but the joy of the Azeri backwaters are that... More

My opinion of this hotel, where I stayed as part of a tour group is very much the same as other reviewers. It is fantastic to stay in an original caravanserai which keeps it's original charm. There is a beautiful inner courtyard, where one can sit and feel the atmosphere and there is a charming tea room with seats on... More

I really liked this hotel. You stay in an actual caravanserai. The rooms are therefore made of stone, and have real character. The bathroom was adequate, but nothing special. The staff was helpful. The price was excellent.
