HB apartments University II Overview

I just got back from Tbilisi, and let me tell you about this place I called home for a week. HB apartments University II sits on 2 Ana Politkovskaia Street in the heart of Saburtalo, a neighborhood that feels like a neighborhood you can actually walk through and still feel like a city. The front door is a simple wooden panel with a brass knob that looks a bit like it’s been stuck in the 90s, but the moment you step inside, the air shifts. There’s a faint scent of fresh coffee that wafts from the kitchenette, and the walls are painted in warm, neutral tones that feel less like a hotel and more like a friend’s living room. The two rooms are surprisingly spacious – you can stretch out your suitcase, spread your yoga mat, and still have room to breathe. The bed itself is a big, comfortable thing with a fluffy duvet that says, “sleep is a priority here.” Honestly, the mattress is a little firmer than I’d expect, but it’s the kind of firmness that wakes you up without the morning grogginess you get from a cheap hostel.

Check‑in was a bit of a surprise. I was greeted by a young woman with a friendly smile and a tablet that asked me to scan my passport. She didn’t call us “guests” in a formal way, which felt a lot more relaxed than the usual “guest services” spiel. The keycard came with a small note that said, “Enjoy your stay, and feel free to let us know if you need anything.” That personal touch made a big difference. Parking is a no‑fuss, but you gotta know the rules: there’s a small, free spot right outside the building, but you’ll have to move it if you’re staying long‑term. I parked once for a couple of hours to grab a quick bite, and the spot was a lifesaver. Noise-wise, Saburtalo is not the quietest part of Tbilisi, but the building is sound‑proof enough that you can hear the distant traffic without the city’s hustle and bustle intruding into your room. The only thing that could have been better was a bit more insulation on the windows – the cold air from the street can seep in if you leave the curtain open.

If you’re looking to explore the local scene, you’re in luck. On the corner of Ana Politkovskaia Street, there’s a tiny café that serves the best melachkha (a sweet, aromatic tea) I’ve ever had. I usually stop by in the morning for a cup and a pastry, and the barista knows my name after the first visit. Just a block away, the Tbilisi Zoo is a quirky, family-friendly spot, and it’s surprisingly clean for a city zoo. For a more cultural experience, you can walk to the nearby Tbilisi City Hall on Bagrationi Street – the architecture is a bit of a time capsule from Soviet times, and there’s a small park with a fountain that’s a great spot for a quick photo. Even during peak season, the apartment’s quiet hours policy keeps the noise to a minimum after 10 p.m., which is a huge plus if you’re a light sleeper. The only minor critique? The Wi‑Fi is a bit spotty in the kitchen area, but the bedroom connection is solid. All in all, HB apartments University II offers a real slice of Saburtalo life, and I honestly would recommend it to anyone who wants a home‑like stay without the hotel‑hotel feel.
