- Couples and solo travellers exploring old Tbilisi

Less suited to
- Travellers wanting self-catering facilities beyond a kettle and fridge
- Guests expecting a full spa or fitness centre
Garden, terrace, and outdoor space
The hotel has both a garden and a terrace — two distinct outdoor areas that give the property a sense of scale unusual for a city hotel. Both are accessible to guests and add breathing room on warm Tbilisi days.
Rooms with balconies and garden views
Three of the four room categories include a private balcony. Views look over the garden, and soundproofing is fitted throughout — a practical detail in any city property.
The suite apartment's inner courtyard
At 65 m², the suite apartment is the largest option and looks onto an inner courtyard rather than the garden. The layout includes a full private bathroom and a sofa bed alongside the king bed.
Sololaki: the character of old Tbilisi
Sololaki is one of Tbilisi's oldest residential districts, known for its 19th-century architecture and proximity to the city's most-visited landmarks. The hotel sits within that fabric directly.
