Marxal Resort & Spa
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Marxal Resort & Spa is worth booking if you want a 5-star resort stay with a spa and pool in a quiet, wooded setting, and you have a car or are happy to take taxis. Skip it if you want to walk to the Palace of Shaki Khans, or if extra costs at the hotel would bother you.

This is our Luxury pick in Sheki. It suits couples and families who plan to spend real time at the hotel. The list is long: spa, pool, gym, restaurant, garden, terrace, family rooms and free parking. The data also tags it as pet-friendly, but no pet policy is confirmed, so ask before you bring an animal.
Skip it if your trip is about the old town. The Palace of Shaki Khans and Imam Ali Mosque are both about an hour away on foot.
Location and getting around
The listed address is simply Sheki city, so save the exact map pin before you travel. The Church of Kish is the closest sight, about 0.9 km away, roughly 11 minutes on foot.
The Palace of Shaki Khans is 4.5 km away, about 56 minutes on foot. Imam Ali Mosque is 4.9 km, about 61 minutes. Both are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates.
Even so, guests rate the location 9.7 out of 10. They describe a peaceful mountain setting surrounded by forest, with scenic views.
What guests say
The score is 9.6 out of 10 from 940 reviews. That was the top score among the 5 eligible hotels we compared, and it rests on a large number of reviews.
Staff draw steady praise for being friendly and professional, with helpful service and a warm welcome.
The main complaint is value. Guests find the dining and spa costs reasonable, but call the rooms and some extras expensive. Budget for spending on site.
Price, and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price was €92.24 a night, about €184 for two nights. That is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €69.18. Issam Hotel & Spa Sheki, our Budget pick, was €46.12 with 8.5. Macara Sheki City Hotel, our Best Value pick, was €69.18 with 9.2.
So Marxal costs about €23 a night more than Macara. For that you get the highest score in the sample, a fifth star and the spa and pool. You also accept a long trip into the old town. Add taxi fares to the comparison.
A buffet breakfast is listed. Whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check them on the booking page.
Ask about spa and pool hours and fees, and whether the pool is open in November. Check prices for extras before you arrive, since that is the main guest complaint. Confirm parking and, if relevant, the pet policy.
