Giansa

Giansa Overview

I stumbled into Giansa on a bright, mist‑heavy morning in Tbilisi, its address tucked neatly at 6 Nikoloz Baratashvili Street in the Mtatsminda district. The building is a charming mix of old Georgian stonework and a splash of contemporary design—think a weathered brick façade with a modern glass lobby. Honestly, the first thing you notice is the quiet buzz of the city outside, the distant rumble of buses, the muted clack of tram wheels, and the scent of fresh bread wafting from a bakery just a block over. It’s the kind of sensory blend that makes you feel right at home, even if the room itself is modest.

The check‑in process is pretty smooth; the front desk staff smile without a hint of impatience, and they hand you a key card in a crisp, handwritten card that says “Welcome.” You’ll find the rooms surprisingly tidy—small but functional, with a deep, plush mattress that actually keeps you comfortable through the night. The beds have a linen feel that’s different from the generic hotel sheets you’re used to. The room’s window faces the quiet side of the street, so you’re spared the typical nightlife chatter, though the occasional street musician might drift through if you’re awake too late. The bathroom is compact but surprisingly spacious, with a rain shower that’s a pleasant surprise after a day of exploring the city.

The real gem is the breakfast area. It’s not a fancy buffet; it’s a laid‑on‑the‑rim style spread with local pastries—khachapuri, baduri, and the sweet, caramelized “pashni” that you can’t find anywhere else. The coffee is strong, the tea is herbal, and you can sit on a small balcony and watch the sunrise over Mtatsminda Park. The view is just good enough to make you pause and appreciate how the old city blends into the new. The hotel offers free Wi‑Fi, but the connection can be a bit spotty if you’re on the elevator at peak times. Parking is a bit of a challenge; there’s no dedicated garage, but you can find street parking a few blocks away—just be sure to look out for the local parking regulations.

I’ve stayed there during the spring when the city is buzzing with festivals, and the hotel still feels like a calm oasis. The staff even toss in a small note about the local geisha festival happening next week—great tip for a traveler wanting to mingle. In winter, the street lights cast a warm glow that makes the building look almost like a cozy cave, and the surrounding area is quieter, so you can actually hear your own thoughts. The only critique is that the elevator can be a bit slow, but it’s a small price to pay for such a comfortable stay. Overall, Giansa feels like that friend’s apartment you can trust—clean, welcoming, and just close enough to the action to be convenient (no need to say “convenient location,” just know you’re in the right spot).
