Baku combines the medieval lanes of its walled Old City with the wide seafront boulevard along the Caspian Sea and the modern towers that light up at night. Around the railway station, the 28 May junction links metro lines and leads quickly to the city centre. Families often spend time on the boulevard, with its promenades and play areas, and in the Old City, where the Maiden Tower is one of the best-known landmarks of the country.
Where to stay
Space, Pools and Breakfast for Families
Baku is an easy city to enjoy with children: the seafront boulevard is long and car-free, the walled Old City is compact, and the metro is simple to use from the 28 May station beside the railway terminal. A family-friendly hotel near the station saves a long transfer after the journey and gives you a base for day trips. The hotels below all describe themselves as suited to families, and they differ mainly in what they add: a pool, a kitchen, a buffet breakfast or simply a quiet room at a low price.
For families who want a pool, two hotels stand out with 9.4 out of 10. Holiday Inn Baku, an IHG Hotel, a 4-star with nearly 3,600 reviews, has an indoor pool, a spa, a gym, two restaurants and free parking. JW Marriott Absheron Baku, the only 5-star in this list, offers an indoor pool, a spa and several dining options. Both accept pets and suit families who want everything under one roof after a long rail journey, with enough space and services to keep children busy on a rainy afternoon in the city.
For longer stays, space and a kitchen often matter more than a pool. Parkside Hotel & Apartments, near Mughan Garden, offers suites with kitchens, a restaurant, a bar, a gym and a hot tub, and describes itself as ideal for family trips. Gәncәli Plaza Baku, near Baku Railway Station, has warmly decorated rooms and suites, a restaurant, a fitness centre and free breakfast. Karat Inn Hotel, rated 8.6 and family-oriented, includes breakfast, a polished restaurant and parking. These three let families settle in for several nights without feeling cramped in a single room.

Hotel Empire Business Baku is kid-friendly with breakfast and city views, and Central Park Hotel adds a cafe, a sauna and breakfast. Boutique Hotel Baku, rated 8.8, pairs a restaurant with city views and a sauna with breakfast included, a calm choice for parents who want a little comfort without a large hotel.
A few simpler addresses complete the list for families who mainly need a clean room and a good location. Stay Inn Hostel & Hotel Baku is pet-friendly, offers air-conditioned rooms and an airport shuttle, and is a short walk from local attractions. LOFT Hostel Baku includes breakfast and an airport shuttle, while Azcot Hotel is a budget-friendly base a short walk from Təbriz küçəsi.

A traveler's perspectiveIf I were travelling to Baku by train with children, I would choose a hotel near the station with breakfast and space to spread out. My shortlist would be Holiday Inn Baku, an IHG Hotel for its pool and 9.4 score, Parkside Hotel & Apartments for its kitchen suites on a longer stay, and Dondar Hotel for a lower budget with breakfast included. I recommend asking about family rooms or connecting rooms when you book, since the descriptions do not say which hotels offer them.
