Cozy studio Top Sololaki #3 Overview

When I first stumbled upon the neighborhood in Tbilisi, I thought, “Okay, this looks like a decent spot.” The address—13 Arutin Saiatnova Street—immediately felt like a shortcut to the heart of the city, right beside that little park where kids run around and the scent of fresh khachapuri drifts from a nearby bakery. I mean, the vibe of Sololaki is like a quiet café corner in a bustling city; you’re close enough to the action but far enough to keep the noise at a polite murmur.

The studio itself is a surprisingly cozy 4‑star slice of comfort. Honestly, the first thing that struck me was the window overlooking the narrow lane where a street vendor sells roasted chestnuts in the evening. The walls are a soft beige, and the wooden floor has this worn‑in texture that feels like a hug after a long day of walking. There’s a tiny kitchenette—just a mini fridge, a kettle, and a single burner—so you can whip up a quick cup of tea or a cheese sandwich; I found myself cooking a simple lentil soup in the early morning when the city was still hushed, and the aroma filled the room.

Check‑in was quick—no long queues, friendly staff who greeted me with a warm smile and a quick rundown of the Wi‑Fi password. “You’ll love the free coffee,” they said. Well, the coffee was decent, albeit slightly bitter—though that’s the local style, I suppose. Parking is a bit of a hustle; there’s no dedicated space, but you can grab a spot on the street outside the building if you’re willing to drive a few minutes to a nearby parking lot on Mukhrovani Street. The only real noise I noticed was the distant hum of traffic from the main road, but it’s far enough away that it doesn’t disturb the sleep in the studio.

What I found most interesting was the neighborhood itself. Just a block away, you can walk to the old market where vendors sell fresh produce and handmade crafts—perfect for a quick breakfast of fresh yogurt and honey. And if you’re up for a short walk (about ten minutes) you’ll hit the Sioni Cathedral, its stone walls whispering centuries of history. The locals often say that the best way to experience the city is to wander on foot, and this hotel’s location makes that effortless. I mean, you can easily hop on the tram at the nearby stop and head to the main square or the modern art gallery on Rustaveli Avenue.

There’s one tiny downside: the studio’s single bed is a bit narrower than what I’m used to, but the mattress is firm and the linens are crisp—so it’s a trade‑off you can live with if you’re traveling light. Also, the kitchen area is a bit cramped; you’ll need to get used to the small space if you plan on cooking more elaborate meals. But honestly, those are minor nuisances compared to the overall charm of the place. The staff are genuinely welcoming, and the room’s cleanliness is top‑notch—no surprises there.

All in all, Cozy studio Top Sololaki #3 is a solid 4‑star experience that feels like home without the hotel buzz. If you’re looking for a comfortable spot with a touch of local flavor—easy access to markets, churches, and the city’s cultural gems—this place ticks all the boxes. The city’s pulse is just outside your door

Reviews of Cozy studio Top Sololaki #3

• Very Good – Dmitrii from Russia – September 1, 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: В апартаментах был сломанный чайник и вопрос так и не был решен. В апартаментах нет штор и ночью светит свет, не давая спать. Такие апарты норм на короткий срок, но не на длительное проживание

• Exceptional – Christopher from Philippines – May 10, 2024 (10/10)
