Beautiful Hotel
Pros:

We had an amazing stay. The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are clean and spacious. And the views from the hotel and the surrounding nature are extremely beautiful.

The breakfast was equally good. There were lots of options to choose from with both traditional options and more European style breakfast.

Also the staff and especially the hotel manager were very kind. We chose to prolong our stay because we liked the hotel so much, and the hotel manager offered us a free upgrade to a junior suite.

We will definitely be staying at this hotel if we’re in Gabala again.

It was amazing with great service.
Pros:

The property is really nicely situated with a lot of in house amenities and nice service. The hotel staff is amazing and special shoutout to AliAhmed, who was supportive from the time we stepped into the hotel until checkout, taking care of all issues.

Cons:

Maybe more choice at the breakfast. We initially booked the cottages but were not happy as it was very outdated and old, so we requested to be moved to the hotel, which was obliged. The hotel should renovate the cottages as they are really big sized and very freshening.
