Money-saving tip
Choose a chain hotel for a reliable standard
Baku has plenty of hotels, but from years of booking trips for fans, I’ve found that hotel standards in Baku tend to be lower than at most other Grand Prix destinations. When booking trips for fans, I stick to chain hotels where I can rely on a minimum standard. If you do book an independent hotel to save money, check recent reviews and don’t expect the same standards you’d get at home.
