What's roughly the lowest price range for accommodation in Nakhchivan? - Scenic scenery of residential district of Goreme town among cliffs located in medieval area of Turkey

It turns out that Azerbaijan has an exclave called Nakhchivan which shares a border with Turkey.

Haven't heard of it? Well it seems neither have most of the websites I use to get an idea how much it will cost to sleep there. HostelWorld, HostelBookers, TripAdvisor, WikiTravel, either have no information on the place at all or list hotels with no indication whatsoever on how much they cost.

So how much can a budget traveller expect to have to pay to sleep in Nakhchivan?

Am also struggling to find any info on it.

Some hotel costs from the area are observed on a blog of the region.

I also love the fact that one of the hotels of the region has the song 'Hotel California' playing on their website...

For Nahkchivan you're probably better off using local tourist agencies. Search for "nakhchivan tours" on the internet and you'll find a couple companies that can give you more listings than the major booking websites.

While this might not get you the cheapest accommodation, the thing with Azerbaijan is that there's this registration rule for visitors (see: https://caravanistan.com/visa/azerbaijan/registration/)

If your duration of stay is shorter than the registration timeframe then it's probably not an issue, otherwise the budget/family-run accommodations might not be doing the registration for you, and you risk getting fined when you leave the country (although I'm not sure how strictly enforced this is). This happened to me a few years ago when I had only 3 days to register but my hostel wouldn't do that for me. I wasted a whole day running between various super bureaucratic Azeri government agencies to try to get myself registered, who simply passes me around like a ball. Finally I walked into a fancy hotel asking for help and they point me to the right direction.

tl;dr If you have a stay longer than the registration timeframe or have complicated logistics, go with a commercial hotel through a local travel agency. It might cost you around US$50-70 instead of the $15 budget hostels but the Azeri government is not something you want to deal with, especially if you're only there for a short time.
