Issam Hotel & Spa

Breakfast is not good as there is not much of a selection. The eggs were overcooked. Ask for a receipt when you pay. Be careful of tour operators that will swindle you and ask you to pay exorbitant rates, for example, double the daily rate.

The hotel is a bit far from Sheki but the rooms are big and the staff is very friendly. They do not speak English but tried their best which we very much appreciated. The hotel was clean, and the rate included the breakfast. The breakfast was very basic, but the dinner made up for everything. The dinner was really delicious with really nice dishes made with love. We had a very good night sleep and could visit Sheki on the next day. The hotel also has spa, sauna, and a swimming pool but we did not use them. We can recommend this hotel for a short stay in Sheki. Thank you 😊

this is supposed to be a four star hotel. 1. the shower is very small with a flimsy curtain so the floor/toilet becomes wet and slippery. the shower head direction can't be adjusted so it either goes horizontally toward the shower curtain or the wall. 2. the staff didn't clean our room and lied about until I showed them the room was not tidy at all. we ran out of toilet paper. 3. the receptionist didn't speak any English. 4. when we checked in, they said there is massage service until midnight every day, but when we checked around 9pm, they said the masseuse hasn't been coming at all. 5. it's not close to town at all. you either have to walk 25 min or take a cab. 6. my roommate asked the reception to call a taxi for her and was told that she can just join their cab since they were leaving work anyway. turned out it was just their dad picking them up from work but they charged her anyway, at an even higher rate than regular taxi. 7. our rooms were only a window away from the street so we could here everything from outside - people talking, cars driving by, etc.
