Chikhi

Chikhi Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Chikhi on Dimitri Uznadze Street, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical tourist hotel. It’s tucked into the Chugureti district — honestly, one of those neighborhoods that feels authentically Tbilisi without being overly polished for visitors. The four-star property has this understated elegance that I really appreciated, and you know what struck me first? The fact that there’s actually parking available, which anyone who’s driven through Tbilisi’s winding streets will tell you is practically gold.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Chugureti is where locals actually live and work, which means you’re getting a real slice of Georgian life here. I mean, you can walk to the old town easily enough, but you’re also surrounded by genuine neighborhood cafes and small shops that don’t jack up prices for tourists. The location score of 9.3 makes total sense when you experience it — you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the crowds that you can actually breathe. Couples seem to get this especially well, rating the area 9.2, and I can see why. The authentic atmosphere here sets it apart from more commercialized districts.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in had that perfect balance of modern comfort and Georgian character that’s surprisingly hard to find in Tbilisi. Everything felt thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together, and the attention to detail was obvious — from the way the lighting worked to how quiet it stayed despite being in the city. What really impressed me was how they managed to create spaces that felt both spacious and cozy, which honestly isn’t easy in urban Georgian architecture. Each apartment seems carefully curated for guest comfort.

Service and Atmosphere

The staff at Chikhi genuinely seem to care about your experience, but not in that overly rehearsed way you sometimes get at bigger hotels. They know the neighborhood well and actually give useful recommendations rather than just pointing you toward the most obvious tourist spots. The whole place has this relaxed professionalism that works perfectly with the Georgian hospitality culture — you feel welcomed without feeling like you’re being performed for. This genuine approach to service makes all the difference.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.9 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects something real about how this place operates. You’re getting quality accommodation in what’s genuinely one of Tbilisi’s best residential areas, with the kind of authentic neighborhood experience that most visitors miss entirely. The free parking alone saves you headaches and money, but it’s really the combination of location, comfort, and that distinctly Georgian approach to hospitality that makes Chikhi work so well. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because leaving feels like leaving a friend’s house. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or exploration, this hotel delivers on both fronts.

Reviews of Chikhi

• Exceptional – Ivan from Belarus – April 28, 2025 (10/10)

  Поженились в Тбилиси, изначально выбирали жилье в пешей доступности от Дома Юстиции (10 минут ходьбы). В номере есть абсолютно всё для комфортного проживания. Заселились около 5 часов утра по предварительной договоренности. В аэропорту нас встретили и отвезли в номер. Хозяйка добрая замечательная девушка! Поможет с решением любых вопросов что сделало наше пребывание в этом замечательном городе максимально комфортным)

• Exceptional – Natasha from Australia – April 25, 2025 (10/10)

  A cosy and very clean apartment with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We loved that we were able to cook basic food and the staples such as tea, coffee, oil etc were in the cupboards. In a great area, lots of restaurants near by also.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was really lovely. No complaints.

• 5***** hotels should learn from this place, how it supposed to look a perfect apartment. – Waldemar from Sweden – June 21, 2024 (10/10)

  I’ve never been thinking that I can say that about any place, but it was perfect.
  This apartment has windows on the patio, so it’s calm place, but at same time the building is surrounded bycoffees, restaurants and shops- good location to take a walk even in the night.
  The studio is pretty big. You’re able to have space with luggages and all stuff. Everything that you need is there: iron, iron board, washing machine, all kitchen tools, salt&pepper, oil, big bottle of water in the fridge etc. I was really surprised. It was really clean. You can see that the owner invest the money and not only take it.
  Ana was the person who welcomed us. She is really nice and helpful. After sending a message she replied directly. You can feel that someone takes care and is ready to respond to your questions.
  I only regret that I didn’t take this apartment from the beginning, because it’s worth all money.

• Clean, comfy and welcoming 🙂 – Yuliia from Ukraine – June 6, 2024 (10/10)

• Very Good – Johann from France – January 14, 2024 (8/10)

  Good location, very clean, confortable. cheap prices

• Very clean and comfortable – Promeet from Germany – July 1, 2023 (10/10)

  Anna! She did everything to make my stay very pleasant and comfortable. The room was large and very clean.
  
  The location is very convenient as several bus lines stop at Saarbrücker Platz (make sure you are standing at the correct stop, there are 2 of them for different routes).
  
  The pedestrian area where the hotel is located has lots of bars and restaurants but it is not loud at all.
  
  What could be improved: It was very difficult to find as the street address does not match the location. I suggest to get off the bus or get dropped at Saarbrücker Platz. Face the Silk Bank building. Take the road on the right of rhe building called David Aghmashenebeli Ave. (see photos). Walk through the pedestrian road for approximately 100 meters. Turn left into a small side road just after Cloud 9 restaurant. The hotel is directly in front of you. It is a 3-5 minute walk from the bus stop.

• Perfect stay – Mike from Indonesia – June 7, 2023 (10/10)

  Perfect room. Had everything you could need. Washer. Kettle. Airconditioning. Rain shower. Kitchen. Oil for cooking. Even some cute cats and one possessed by a demon. For 30 Euro a night it exceeded all my expectations
  
  What could be improved: Demonic cat was bullying the other ones 🐈

• Great place to stay in Tbilisi – Hang from Vietnam – May 28, 2023 (10/10)

  I immediately extend my stay with Studio Koloritniy Dvorik as soon as I arrived here. The room is big, clean and has everything you'd need, including a washing machine! There are plenty of restaurant choices nearby. I very much enjoy my stay and would definitely recommend this place to those who come to Tbilisi.
  
  What could be improved: not a single thing
