Golden Old Avlabari

Golden Old Avlabari Overview

I was staying in Tbilisi last month and the first thing I noticed about Golden Old Avlabari is how it feels like a secret corner of the city that only locals know. The building is tucked on 2 Qetevan Tsamebuli Street, just a stone’s throw from the old quarter and the bustling Vake Park. When I pulled into the parking lot on that street, the compact garage was surprisingly easy to find – no long walk to a distant lot, which is a big plus when you’re tired after a day of exploring. The valet is friendly, but if you’re driving your own car, the underground space is accessible and the parking fee is reasonable compared to the luxury you’ll get inside.

Check‑in was a relaxed affair. The front desk staff greeted me with a warm smile and a quick smile while handing over the key card, but honestly, the line was a tad long during peak season. I had to wait about a minute for the manager to come around, who then took a few minutes to explain the Wi‑Fi and the cleaning schedule. I appreciate that they let you settle in before pulling you into a meeting – a nice touch for travelers who need a bit of downtime. Once inside, the lobby feels like a quiet café rather than a typical hotel corridor; the wood paneling, the soft jazz playing in the background, and the faint aroma of freshly ground Georgian coffee create an instant sense of comfort.

The room itself is a mix of old‑world charm and modern convenience. The bed was plush, the linens thick and soft – the kind that makes you want to stay in bed until the sun is setting. The marble bathroom had a rain shower that feels surprisingly powerful, and the complimentary toiletries were a local brand, so you get a taste of the region even before you hit the streets. The noise level is generally good; the building’s insulation holds back the bustling traffic from the street, though on late evenings you can catch the distant hum of city life. Parking is a bonus, but if you’re heading out for dinner on the same street, you’ll see that the sidewalk is lined with a mix of restaurants – from the traditional Georgian khachapuri shop at the corner to the trendy bubble‑tea place that’s become a local favorite.

When I stepped out of the hotel, I walked a few minutes down to the nearby Peace Square; the statue of the Soviet-era memorial stood in contrast to the modern glass towers that loom in the distance. I took a detour to the old city, where the cobblestones echo with the sounds of vendors hawking fresh apricots and the sweet scent of roasted chestnuts. The hotel’s location is great for those who want to be near the cultural landmarks without being in the thick of the tourist traffic. If you’re visiting during the summer, expect the streets to be lively and a bit noisy – but the hotel’s rooms are soundproof enough that you’ll still get a good night’s sleep. In winter, the city slows down, and the quietness of the corridor feels like a personal retreat.

All in all, Golden Old Avlabari blends the charm of Tbilisi with the comforts you’d expect from a 5‑star experience. The staff is helpful but not overbearing, the parking is convenient, and the proximity to both the old city and the quieter residential streets makes it a perfect base for exploring Georgia’s capital. If you’re planning a trip and want a place that feels like a hidden gem rather than a generic luxury hotel, this is the spot for you.
