Cənət Baği
Neat, if less upmarket, than first impressions might suggest, this popular rural complex has two buildings in a woodland clearing 7km south of Quba. Rooms in the old building are slightly more worn but have bigger bathrooms.

Şadağ Hotel
This Soviet-era establishment is the only central option. It could have style if it were renovated but for now it’s a very basic crash pad with shared ‘toilets’ and a dribbling tap. If you’re lucky.
Olympic Complex
The complex’s bright airy new rooms are great value with good bathrooms, wood-effect floors and plentiful art prints. Rates include breakfast and use of the superb 50m-long indoor swimming pool. It’s 3km east of the bazaar.
Oskar Hotel
Between the bus station and bazaar, this is not so much a hotel as a set of rooms above a pleasant kebab restaurant. They’re cosy and new with en suite hot showers and fresh linen, though the whole place feels slightly jerry-built.
Xınalıq Hotel
Although recently repainted this trader’s guesthouse remains basic and dauntingly male-orientated. It’s perched above the chaotic market area. The single room has a private bathroom; others share a squat toilet and two downstairs shower booths.
