Historical Ganja in the heart of Azerbaijan combines history and culture from 17th-century mosques and caravanserai to a house made from glass bottles and Nizami Ganjavi’s Mausoleum. Here are some of the best hotels in Ganja to suit every sort of traveller, from authentic homestays to luxurious chains.

1. Hotel Ramada Plaza, Ganja

Chain Hotel

The Ramada ranks as one of the best hotels in Ganja, offering a selection of rooms and suites. Located near Heydar Alivey Park and a few kilometres from central Ganja, the five-star hotel provides world-class comfort with a variety of amenities. All rooms exhibit a classical design with tea and coffee facilities, a large bathroom and a seating area. Combine this with the onsite nightclub, international standard restaurant, two swimming pools and sports areas, and it’s understandable why so many people stay at the Ramada.

Guests often stay at Ganja Hotel for its stellar location in the city centre near City Hall. Rooms range from singles and doubles to more luxurious suites. Each room has a modern bathroom, air-conditioning and access to free Wi-Fi. Apart from the location, the other appeal is the hotel’s relatively unchanged Soviet-style décor from the former communist days.

3. Ganja HomeStay

Guests receive three daily home-cooked meals, providing the chance to taste Azeri favourites. Those looking for a first-hand account into the local way of life with the famed Azerbaijani hospitality will enjoy their time at this homestay. As a bonus, the price includes a guided city tour by the experienced and knowledgeable owner. An excursion to Lake Goygol can be arranged at affordable rates too. Few places in Ganja provide accommodation in a traditional home with three meals and a city tour at such an affordable price.

5. Karvansaray Hotel

Located opposite Ganja Bus Station and within walking distance of Nizami Mausoleum, Karvansaray Hotel boasts moderately sized rooms at mid-range prices.
