JAKO Old Tbilisi (center) Overview

First Impressions

Walking into JAKO Old Tbilisi (center), you immediately get that feeling of discovering something special tucked away in the heart of the city. This four-star property sits right on Ketevan Tsamebuli Avenue in the Avlabari district, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better for exploring Tbilisi‘s historic charm. The building itself has that authentic Georgian character — you know, the kind of place where modern comfort meets old-world soul without trying too hard.

Location & Neighborhood

What I love about this spot is how it puts you right in the thick of things without the tourist chaos. Avlabari is actually one of those neighborhoods where locals still live and work, so you get a real taste of daily life in Tbilisi. The famous sulfur baths are practically around the corner, and you can easily walk to the old town’s cobblestone streets in about ten minutes. Plus — and this is huge for anyone driving — there’s parking available right on site, which is honestly a godsend in this part of the city where finding a spot can be a real headache.

The Accommodation

The apartment setup here is what really sets JAKO apart from your typical hotel experience. You’re not just getting a room — you’re getting a proper living space with a fully equipped kitchen that actually has everything you need. I mean, after a few days of khachapuri and khinkali (not that I’m complaining), sometimes you just want to make a simple breakfast or store some wine from the local markets. The space feels lived-in but well-maintained, with those high ceilings and large windows that let in so much natural light.

What Makes It Special

You know what struck me most? The attention to practical details that matter when you’re actually staying somewhere, not just passing through. The Wi-Fi works reliably (crucial for staying connected), the hot water is consistent, and the beds are genuinely comfortable — not just hotel-marketing comfortable. The fact that it’s managed as a proper accommodation rather than someone’s side hustle really shows. There’s a professionalism here that you don’t always find with apartment rentals, but it still maintains that personal touch that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s well-loved home.

Why Guests Love It

Couples seem to absolutely adore this place, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little Georgian hideaway in the old city. The combination of independence and comfort really works, especially if you’re planning to stay more than just a night or two. Whether you want to cook a quiet dinner together or use it as a base for exploring the city’s incredible food scene, JAKO gives you that flexibility. It’s the kind of place where you can actually settle in and experience Tbilisi like you live there, even if it’s just for a few days.

Tbilisi’s hotels showcase the perfect blend of Georgian tradition and modern comfort, with many featuring wine tour services and authentic Caucasian hospitality.
