I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, appreciated its clean and modern rooms with decent views. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Tbilisi Sameba Cathedral and other attractions. However, the dining options could definitely use some improvement, as I found them a bit lacking in quality and freshness. Overall, it's a great place for the value, but a few tweaks in dining would be ideal.

The rooms were very clean and modern, offering two pleasant views. I stayed in a Junior Suite, which also had a small sofa bed. The only downside was the lack of full dark curtains, which let in a bit of light in the early morning.

The hotel's location was fantastic—just within a 5-minute walk to Tbilisi Sameba Cathedral and about 15 minutes to the Old City. It’s surrounded by great restaurants and supermarkets, making it really convenient. Although my first day was marked by a loud verbal fight between neighbors, overall, it felt like I was experiencing authentic Georgian life.

The hotel is in a great location, just a short distance from Holy Trinity Church and the Avlabari Metro Station. The rooms were quite clean and spacious, but the layout left much to be desired, making it feel a bit cramped. The staff provided friendly service, and while the dining options were decent, they didn't really impress. Overall, it's a fair option given the price, but there are definitely some drawbacks to consider.
