Tebriz Hotel Nakhchivan

There are plenty of wonderful tourist attractions in Nakhchivan but unfortunately they are not matched by the hotel offerings. The Tebriz Hotel may be the best hotel in town but it is decidedly mediocre and seems stuck in a Soviet-era time warp. The staff seem poorly trained and somewhat unwelcoming to tourists, with the exception of the reception staff who were great. Our room smelt of stale cigarette smoke and the bathroom smelt of drains which wasn't a great start. Room facilities were somewhat lacking, for example our curtains didn't meet in the middle and didn't have blackout lining. Initially our double room was furnished with one single quilt and 2 pillows between 2 people so we had to request additional bedding, a first for me. The bathroom was cramped and poorly lit but at least the shower had plentiful hot water. There is no suitcase ramp to reception, only stairs, but the staff will help with luggage. The 2 small lifts were inadequate for a 13-storey hotel and we always had to wait for a lift. On the plus side, the view from the 13th floor restaurant is amazing, but it would be great to have a sign or map in the restaurant showing the names and position of all the sights. The hotel is very centrally located and there are restaurants (we recommend Local restaurant), tea shops and supermarkets nearby. Breakfast was a bit limited - the only coffee available was instant coffee granules and no milk. However the home-made nut-filled pastries were very tasty. I understand a new hotel is currently being built in Nakhchivan so maybe the Tebriz will up their game when there is more competition. Let's hope so.

Practical and simpel hotel, with a panoramic view, good and rich breakfast. Rooms are simpel, but with big windows. Comfortable beds, furniture and chairs. Clean and calm hotel during the night. Next to the hotel are restaurants and shops.

Nakhchivan isn't exactly a tourist hotspot and this is probably reflected by your choice of only two hotels in Nakhchivan City, with this being one of them. The hotel is ok - it's a nice place to sleep and a good base for exploring the city and the wider exclave. Probably wouldn't call it a 5-star - it's probably more of a 3-star with some extra amenities like a very nice hammam. Pros: - Location was great - centrally located and walking distance to all the points of interest in Nakchivan City. - View: had a fantastic view from the room of Ilandag (the mountain where Noah's Ark supposedly landed) - the hotel is the tallest building in the city. Breakfast is on the top floor and has sweeping views across the whole city. - Breakfast was decent - hot food selection was limited to mostly scrambled and fried eggs, with either sausages or french toast pieces. Cold food selection was more varied with lots of Nakhchivani cheeses and meats to pick from, with delicious local honey and cream to go along. Would have been nice for the bread to have been warmed up. - There is one English-speaking staff member on reception who was generally quite helpful albeit he was always very busy! Cons: - The bathroom in the room is very small and a bit dim. Shower itself is a decent size and the water pressure and temperature is good. There wasn't a spare roll of toilet paper so if you use it all then you are on your own, unless you can speak Azerbaijani or Turkish to request for a new roll. - Room was ok albeit a bit dated. - Wifi was not great - to get stronger signal one would need to stand under the router in the common area/hallway outside your room.

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 3 nights with one of my friends. The advantages of the hotel are listed bellow: Clean rooms Good location Polite staff Good and delicious breakfast Nice disco and restaurant with different songs specially Azeri songs Good bar Disadvantages of hotel: Wifi was not strong enough No swimming pool Drinks were limited in beer and tea and cofee, nothing else was served. Altogether this hotel is one of the best places to stay in nakhchivan.
