“Pleasant hotel, with great views, but that is all.”

This hotel is in a good location, if you are in good shape. It is on top of a steep hill, so for those who are mobility impaired, it can be very hard.

This hotel is in a good location, if you are in good shape. It is on top of a steep hill, so for those who are mobility impaired, it can be very hard. It is however only 5-7 minutes walk to the city center, with many shops and restaurants. There is a taxi stand at the foot of the hill, for longer excursions, and Tbilisi taxi drivers are usually very nice and reasonably priced, despite most speaking only Georgian. The hotel has unusual design, being built on terraces up the hill. This means that some rooms are below the level of the reception, but not really in the basement. My room was one of those. One unusual feature was in the hallway outside my room, a rockpool ! A tribute to the special uphill construction no doubt. The unusual design also means that the lift doesn’t reach all floors, and the stairs are semi circular and difficult when you are carrying luggage. The design of the hotel meant that i had 1 very low window, almost entirely covered by tree branches, and therefore almost no natural light. The actual light in the room consists of 2 meagre little bedside lamps, which is not at all adequate. Besides from that, both the room and the bathroom are very spacious. The room furniture is very dated, like Grandma’s house, but adequate. There is both a refrigerator and an electric kettle, cups etc. in the room. Water, juice and such, from the refrigerator are not expensive. Both room and bathroom are very clean, i got clean towels every day, and even clean sheets after 4 days. The towels are small, thin and ragged though. But big thumbs up for the house keeping. Very competent. The tv is small and old, and shows only Georgian and Russian channels. The reception staff, Adelina and Milena are very polite, helpful and professional. The breakfast is dismal, with stale bread, poor quality coffee, and very few choices of low quality items. The staff in the breakfastroom is unfriendly, bordering on rude, and clears everything away, 10.30 sharp. They will actually start clearing around 10.20, and try to shoo you away, if you come after 10. And by 10.25 you can get no extra cup of coffee. A serious drawback in my opinion. And not encouraging if the hotel want you to take other meals there. The view from the breakfast room and the terrace above are however spectacular, and definitely the biggest bonus of this hotel. The prices seem reasonable.
