Freezeinn

Freezeinn Overview

I recently stayed at Freezeinn in Tbilisi, tucked on Merab Kostava Street right off the ring road that loops around the old town. The moment I pulled up, the building’s modern façade gave way to a surprisingly warm lobby with a wooden reception desk that feels like it was lifted straight from a 1970s Georgian apartment. The staff welcomed me with a quick, friendly check‑in – no long queue, just a brief chat about the weather and a quick scan of the museum schedule in the city center. I mean, honestly, the staff seemed to know my name before I even told them it was my first time in Tbilisi. The free Wi‑Fi is robust, though the signal dips a bit at the back of the room when the elevator is in use; still, it’s more than enough for scrolling through Instagram or catching up on a quick work email.

The room itself was a sweet blend of sleek and cozy. The bed was a king‑size thing with a mattress that’s actually not too firm – it’s got that slight give you need after a day of exploring. The linens were crisp, the curtains heavy enough to block out the city buzz at night, so I could actually get a decent sleep, which is a big win in a city that can be pretty loud after midnight. The bathroom had a rain shower that left a faint scent of citrus from the soap that the hotel uses – it’s a nice touch that makes the space feel less clinical. I was also glad to find a small desk with a comfortable chair, perfect for jotting down a few notes or sketching a quick map of the city. The minibar? Well, it didn’t have a lot of local Georgian spirits, but there was a decent selection of cold drinks and a few small snack packets that were handy.

If you’re looking to wander around, Merab Kostava Street is a shortcut to a few gems you won’t find on the usual tourist guide. Just a block away is the historic Old Bridge (Tbilisi Bridge), where you can hear the gentle ripple of the Kura River and the chatter of street vendors selling grilled cheese and fresh tea. For a more upscale experience, you can hop over to Rustaveli Avenue – the main artery that’s lined with theatres, cafés, and that famous Georgian cinema. I remember the restaurant on the corner of Merab Kostava and Tsereteli Street – a little family‑run place that serves khinkali so good you’ll want to return for every bite. Parking is a bit of a hunt; the hotel offers a small underground lot, but it’s often full during the summer months. If you’re driving, a street‑parking meter is usually the only option, but the city’s public transit is surprisingly efficient – a metro ticket gets you everywhere, and the buses are practically always on time.

One thing worth noting: the noise from the nearby metro line can seep through the walls, especially during rush hour, but the hotel’s soundproofing usually holds up. I stayed there through the spring, which is a quieter season – no one’s flocking to the river for the New Year celebrations, so the city feels like a slower, breathing organism. In the evenings, the lights on the Upper Town are a soft glow, and the aroma of coffee and baklava drifting from the cafés below is almost a lullaby. The staff are proactive – they’ll ask if you need extra pillows or a late check‑out, and they’re quick to point out local events that can be a perfect addition to your itinerary.

All in all, Freezeinn feels like a modern, reliable stop in a city that’s always on the move. I’d say it’s a solid choice if you want a place that’s comfortable, local, and not too far from the action. The only real drawback? The parking situation, but that’s a city‑wide issue more than a hotel one. For the price, the quality is on point, and you’ll leave with a few stories about the city – both the old and the new – and a few more postcards than you started with. And honestly, you’ll probably find yourself saying, “I was actually looking for a place like this, and I just found it.”

Exploring Tbilisi offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Georgia’s cultural heart, from its ancient sulfur baths to its world-renowned wine traditions and stunning Caucasus mountain backdrop.
