Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

💡

Book Old City and boutique hotels at least 2-3 months ahead — very limited supply fills quickly, especially during F1 Grand Prix (April/June) when prices triple

💡

The Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix causes complete accommodation sellout across Baku — book 6+ months ahead for that period or consider staying in Sumgayit and commuting

💡

Direct hotel booking via hotel websites often includes free airport transfer or breakfast not available on Booking.com or Expedia

💡

Properties near 28 May metro station offer the best transport connections at lower prices than Old City locations

💡
