Canal Hostel

Probably the most besutiful hostel you will ever find in Shekhi. Very affordable like 15 AZN per night and rooms are clean and have Air conditioners too plus there is a kitchen you can cook your own.

Disappointed of the kitchen and kitchen Utensils. Utensil are all broken, all the pots have no handles, it’s very dat to burn hands. The stove is dirty and disgusting. Fridge too. The whole house only has one bathroom, imagine if 20 people waiting for toilets, how long it will take? All the furnitures are garbage too.

Cool hostel, didn't see a real alternative in Sheki. Assim is there to help with everything and is full of recommendations, fun and chats. Very attentive!
There is a big kitchen and some sofas and chill out places.
2-3 dorms and 2-3 private rooms. But they all have together one bathroom and that's just not sufficient. One room with shower and toilet and sink. Always waiting to go inside…

For this is five stars. Very affordable and a brilliant host — if you have any questions for the host, he will help you out. Great value. So close to the city centre as well. If I ever come back, I will be staying here.

Amazing and most affordable hostel in Sheki. The owner Asim is really helpful and friendly. Located very centrally near everything. Also has a fully equipped kitchen if you want to make your own food.

A great hostel and owner. I stayed there two nights and I felt so comfortable there. Warm comfortable beds, a nice open kitchen will gas cooker, and close to the city centre. Highly recommend staying at this hostel on your trip to Sheki!

Great staff and perfect location. The kitchen is nice, and the beds are confortable. However, shower was not hot and the common space is a bit limited / basic. In conclusion, a good place for your next stay in Shak'

Great hostel in Sheki. Close to all attractions, quiet and clean. Our room was clean and very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. The host spoke great English and offered recommendations for food as well as information for Sheki and onward travel.

Asim is an amazing person — one of the kindest and most welcoming persons you will ever meet — recommmend this place wholeheartedly!

It is a good hostel and the owner is a great person, very polite and helpful.

Asim & his wee family are lovely. The location fine & central & also quiet, tucked away yet at night still easy to find your way home & safe. Although at present there only is one toilet with shower to share by the dorms. This can be an inconvenient pain, especially when you need to catch a bus or something. Yet rest assured, Asim is doing some great renovations. Come December or so there will be more easy facilities. Showers, even a games room downstairs, more decorated with plants atmospheric courtyard, better reception area. Upstairs still quiet for sleeping. It's quite a big project & costs him money, yet will be beneficial for all of us. Asim's hostel already attracts international travellers, a woderful place to meet people. I'm Scottish. There were USA, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Bangladeshis when I was there. A great melting pot of cosmopolitan civilizations. And Asim will help with your onwards transportation. And Asim & his family tug these gentle cords together. Please come & be kind together.

Best hostel experience you can get. Asim, the owner of the hostel was the kindest and warm person. He helped me so much sharing the details about the Sheki town and providing all the facilities. I had a very good and nice experience in this hostel. I strongly recommend.

This post is to aware innocent people so that this guy can not cheat anyone else! Think 100 times before doing any business with this guy! Only deal with Azerbaijani people! They are really helpful!

The best hostel in Sheki, Azerbaijan.

It's a really cozy place in Sheki.
We spent 2 nights in Sheki in November 2019
There aren't so many tourists now in Sheki and we can enjoy the countryside and the peaceful village. The hostel provides kitchen and the heater. The most important thing is that the staff is really really friendly.

Very kind and helpful host. Excellent Service.

Would not recommend this place.
Finding the place involved walking down some dusty back alleys. On arrival, the ground floor looked uninhabited, with stagnant water in the water fountain encouraging mosquitos, and bathrooms you would not wish to use.
Upstairs in the hostel is slightly cleaner. No shoes allowed.
Bathrooms: There appears to be one bathroom/shower room for most, or all, of the guests. Hot water came on quickly.
All noise travels across the hostel. There were two people outside and one in the kitchen taking in hushed tones at 2am, I could hear it all from the bedroom.
Room: Air con was advertised but not switched on (unplugged and with no remote). The room was unbearably hot.
Security: Rooms have no lockers and the doors do not lock, so ensure your luggage has a padlock.
Kitchen: there was a joint kitchen, see photos for more.
For the sake of your sleep, find another hostel.
