This was our first visit to Georgia and Tblisi. We were charmed by the hospitality and personalized service offered by this hotel, it's manager and staff. The British Hotel is an excellent ambassador to tourists visiting Tblisi. Set close to the Metro Station in Rustaveli Avenue, it has a convenient location from which to explore both the Old and New Town. Our room, on the ground floor, was spacious, and comfortably furnished. Breakfasts over the 3 days we stayed were sumptuous feasts with a variety of Georgian and European food. Tea and Coffee were available at any time. The front office staff were always ready to help with booking restaurants, calling taxis, and always informative. We were 4 retired friends taking a holiday together. Having done a lot of traveling, we thought nothing could overwhelm us ...but the hospitality and customer service at the British Hotel Tblisi, certainly did! We can wholeheartedly recommend it.

“It's all about location...”

Booked the last two available rooms at short notice, one for myself and one for my elderly mother. Both were perfectly adequate as a base of operations for enjoying the sights and delights of Girne and visiting North Cyprus generally.

Booked the last two available rooms at short notice, one for myself and one for my elderly mother. Both were perfectly adequate as a base of operations for enjoying the sights and delights of Girne and visiting North Cyprus generally. The rooms had the usual: hairdryers, desks, chairs, TV, kettle, and drinks fridge, and the mattresses on the beds were all new. Both rooms had ensuite bathrooms that were perfectly functional. Bedding and towels were changed frequently (more often than needed really) and rooms were cleaned daily. All the staff we met were friendly, helping us book tours, allowing us to practice our terrible Turkish, etc. Breakfast was typical Turkish fare and made for a healthy start to the day - several different cheeses, olives, bread, jams, and a choice of egg fried, boiled or omelette, fresh fruit, and tea or coffee. We particulary enjoyed looking out over the waking harbour while eating. There's also a rooftop terrace with fantastic views which we visited repeatedly, though sadly the bar was closed this late in the season. Whether this is the kind of hotel you would enjoy largely depends - I suspect - on your underlying expectations. For some, the hotel itself is the destination, and things going on outside a bonus. And most of the large new, luxury/casino hotels in Girne are in distant, inconvenient locations anyway. Our priority was to be in the heart of the old town, near the harbour, wedged in among the promenaders, the buzz, and the many different sights and experiences. The hotel was just a place for sleeping, cleaning and organizing excursions. So the lack of luxury facilities and upmarket decor was a trade-off we willingly accepted.
