Holiday Inn Express Tbilisi Avlabari, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn Express Tbilisi Avlabari, an IHG Hotel Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about the Holiday Inn Express Tbilisi Avlabari, an IHG Hotel, I wasn’t expecting much beyond the usual chain hotel experience. But this place actually surprised me in the best way possible. It sits in Avlabari, which locals will tell you is one of the most authentic neighborhoods in Tbilisi, and you know what? They’re absolutely right. You’re walking distance from some incredible sulfur baths (the smell of sulfur in the air takes some getting used to, but it grows on you), and honestly, the location gives you this perfect mix of being close to the action without dealing with all the tourist crowds that pack the Old Town.

The hotel itself feels surprisingly fresh for a Holiday Inn Express – I mean, you can tell they put some real thought into making it fit the local vibe without going overboard with the Georgian theme stuff. The rooms are exactly what you’d expect from IHG, but better somehow. Clean lines, comfortable beds, and those little touches that make you think someone actually stayed here before deciding what worked. The breakfast area gets pretty busy around 8-9 AM (classic travel rush hour), but if you hit it earlier or later, you’ll have space to breathe. What really got me was how quiet it stays at night – Avlabari isn’t as party-heavy as some other parts of the city, so you can actually sleep without earplugs.

Here’s the thing that really sold me on this place though – the staff genuinely knows the neighborhood. Not just the obvious tourist spots, but they’ll point you toward that little bakery three blocks down where locals grab their morning khachapuri, or tell you which marshrutka route gets you to Mtatsminda Park without the hassle. The 8.8 rating makes total sense when you experience how smoothly everything runs. Check-in was painless (always a relief after a long flight), and I never had that feeling of being just another room number. Sure, it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury, but sometimes you just want a place that does everything right without any drama. If you’re the type who likes to explore a city like a local rather than checking boxes on a tour bus, this spot in Avlabari puts you in the perfect position to do exactly that.
