HB apartments University I Overview
I’ve been in Tbilisi for a couple of weeks now, and this place—HB apartments University I—has become my go-to spot. It sits on 2 Ana Politkovskaia Street in Saburtalo, a neighborhood that feels like a quieter cousin of the old city, yet it’s only a ten‑minute walk to the bustling Rustaveli Avenue. The front desk check‑in was a breeze: a friendly woman in a crisp uniform greeted us with a warm smile, handed over a keycard, and even pointed out the best local markets. I mean, she looked like she’d practically lived there all her life—no corporate vibe, just real, helpful hospitality. The apartment itself is a mix of modern and cozy: a sleek kitchenette with a small fridge and a pretty decent espresso machine (you’ll notice the rich aroma of freshly ground beans every time you hit the button), a comfortable bed that feels like a cloud, and a living area that opens up to a balcony overlooking a quiet street that buzzes with the hum of scooters and the distant chatter of market stalls. The floor plans are generous—there’s enough room to spread out after a long day, and the insulation keeps the summer heat out, which is a godsend when the city turns into a sauna.
Parking is a mixed bag: there’s a small paid lot across the street, but it fills up fast during the summer, so I ended up walking a few blocks to a free spot behind a bakery. It’s not a huge deal, but you’ll have to be patient if you’re not into the “hunt for parking” adventure. Noise-wise, it’s pretty decent; the apartment walls absorb the city’s clamor, so you’re not waking anyone up with a midnight phone call. The best part? The balcony—on a clear night, you can hear the distant church bells and the faint clinking of glasses from a nearby restaurant. I loved the feel of the cool breeze against my skin after a day on the tram, and the way the street light flickered over the old buildings.
If you’re visiting during the peak spring season, the streets are alive with vendors selling fresh apricots and handmade scarves—an irresistible scent that lingers in the air. Just be ready for a bit of hustle and bustle; some locals swear by the morning market on the corner of Ana Politkovskaia and Tsereteli. But once the sun goes down, Saburtalo quiets down, and you’ll find yourself sipping tea on the balcony, listening to the distant laughter from a family celebrating a birthday. Honestly, it felt like being in a living room of a long‑time friend—warm, welcoming, and full of subtle surprises that only someone who’s lived there could spot. So, if you’re looking for a place that feels like home, with a little slice of the city’s soul, HB apartments University I is definitely worth a stay.

Nice and silent place, very clean and comfortable
Detailed manual and good support
What could be improved: Требуется предоплата безналичным платежом, иначе бронь не подтвердят. Решаемо, но напрягает.
Номер компактный – это не минус, просто факт.
The owner asks for advance payment to the bank. It's a little bit complicated
