Hostels in Ganja

Quiet neighbourhood, welcoming host, free tea and WiFi

Qala Hostel Ganja has the following advantages: 1) Young gentleman at the reception was very helpful and customer oriented. 2) Central location, close to everything. 3) Room: I was provided the room I booked. Pictures of my room pictures and common places match with pictures in the booking com. I liked that room is large and airy. But you have to be aware that there is no privacy in the room. 4) Tea stand in the room: It was very cool to have a tea stand in the room with electric kettle, mugs, napkin and sugar. I was able to have a tea in my bed. There is a separate kitchenette in the hallway. 5) Two towels for each traveler (small one for face, big one for body) were provided by hostel, which was great as I didn’t bring my own towel. 6) Air conditioner and wi-fi worked in the room. Wi-Fi password and poster of sightseeing places can be found in the room. 7) Good public transportation/taxi system around the hostel. Easy to get a taxi and travel somewhere in the city. 8) Grocery store/supermarket and money exchange office are located in the same building where hostel is, just different entrance. Hostel has own escalator which is fantastic and helpful when I are tired after sightseeing. 9) There is a river and a bridge near the hostel. It was nice to walk along the river every night. Sightseeing places I visited: 1) Flag square and promenade boulevard along the river: Hostel is located opposite to the flag square in other side of the river. It is just 5 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. When I was lost, I told local people “Flag square” and they showed me directions. 2) Main square with government office: 10-15 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. 3) Chokak hamam mosque: 15-20 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. 4) Shah Abbas mosque: 15-20 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. 5) Shah Abbas Caravan serai: 10-15 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. 6) Khan’s garden: 20-25 minutes of walking distance from the hostel.

Great location on a quiet dead end street within walking distance of main square. Friendly and helpful owner and son. Owner can help arrange a taxi tour of local sites for a resonable cost and even sent his son along to provide translation! Owner does not live on premises but does live nearby and answers texts promptly.

They are so nice! Nurlana, the manager, speak English and help us with driver and taxi! Thank you guys!
