Lela Apartments Overview

If you’re looking for a cozy spot in Tbilisi, Lela Apartments is a solid choice – I stayed there last spring and honestly, it felt like a home away from home. The building sits at Grigol Khandzteli 9/22, right in the heart of the Old Town, so you’re literally steps from the cobblestone lanes and the chatter of street vendors. The check‑in was quick, the staff friendly, and the little welcome kit with a bottle of local wine and a map of hidden cafés was a nice touch. The front desk was open until 10 pm, which is handy if you’re checking in late after a night out at the nearby Barbarelis or the vibrant Tbilisi Night Market.

Inside, the apartment feels like a tasteful blend of Georgian charm and modern convenience. The living area is spacious, with a plush sofa that folds into a bed for guests who arrive later in the evening – I found that incredibly useful on a night when I was exhausted from a long day of sightseeing. The kitchen is well‑equipped, though a bit small, so if you’re a cook you’ll appreciate the provided pots, pans, and a kettle that boils water in just a minute. The bathroom has a shower with good water pressure, and the tiles are bright and almost mimic the look of a hotel, but the small details – like the brass towel hooks and the local soap – give it that authentic feel. Noise-wise, the apartment is surprisingly quiet; the street outside is only a few meters away from a tram line, but the sound of the rails is muffled by the building’s thick walls – a nice balance of city buzz without the constant din.

Parking is a plus; there’s a small, private parking lot just behind the building that’s free for guests. If you’re staying in the city center and don’t want to chase a space in the bustling streets, the lot is a relief. The only thing that could use a tweak is the Wi‑Fi speed – it’s reliable, but if you’re a heavy streaming user, you might notice a lag during peak hours. However, the comfortable mattresses and the quiet nights more than make up for that. I also found the neighborhood’s vibe to be a blend of historic charm and modern day hustle: the aroma of fresh coffee from a nearby café fills the air in the mornings, and the sound of a violinist playing in the square at dusk adds a soundtrack to your evening stroll. If you’re planning a visit, try to stay during the shoulder seasons: the spring crowds are manageable, and the streets are less crowded, giving you a more relaxed pace. Overall, Lela Apartments offers a genuine, relaxed experience that feels like a slice of everyday Tbilisi life – and that’s what makes it stand out.

  • Cozy apartment in Old Tbilisi. – Arthur from United States – March 1, 2024 (8/10)

    Great location with easy access to the attractions in old town Tbilisi. Lela was very friendly and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. Nice breakfasts every morning and a special Georgian desert was brought over one evening as an extra bonus. The accomodation was cozy and comfortable. Thank you Lela for your hospitality.

    What could be improved: The shower could use some repairs. The tap was leaking, making it difficult to maintain enough pressure for a warm shower. Shouldn’t be too difficult to repair.
