Lia’s Guest House

Lia’s Guest House Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Lia’s Guest House on Arsena Street, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. This four-star gem sits right in Mtatsminda, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Tbilisi. The building itself has this charming, intimate vibe that makes you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s place rather than just another hotel. You know what really caught my attention? The fact that they’ve managed to create this cozy atmosphere while still maintaining that polished, professional feel you want from a quality guesthouse.

The Perfect Spot in Tbilisi

Here’s the thing about the location — couples absolutely love it here, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why. You’re positioned perfectly to explore Old Tbilisi on foot, but you’re also close enough to the cable car that takes you up to Narikala Fortress. The neighborhood has this authentic Georgian character that you don’t always find in more touristy areas. Plus, there’s free parking right on site, which is actually a huge deal if you’re planning to rent a car and explore beyond the city — trust me, finding parking in central Tbilisi can be a real headache otherwise.

Your Room Experience

The room I stayed in was thoughtfully designed with this nice blend of modern comfort and local touches. What impressed me most was the attention to detail — everything from the linens to the lighting felt carefully chosen. The windows offer lovely views of the surrounding neighborhood, and you can actually hear the gentle sounds of daily life in Tbilisi, which I found oddly soothing. The bathrooms are well-appointed and spacious enough that you don’t feel cramped, even if you’re traveling with someone else.

The Personal Touch

Lia and her team really make this place special — they have this genuine warmth that you can’t fake. During my stay, they were incredibly helpful with recommendations for local restaurant spots that I never would have found on my own. They seem to genuinely care about making sure you experience the real Tbilisi, not just the tourist version. I remember asking about where to find the best khinkali in the neighborhood, and instead of just pointing me toward the obvious places, they shared their personal favorites where locals actually eat.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.7 rating, it’s clear that other travelers feel the same way I do about this place. What sets Lia’s Guest House apart is that perfect combination of location, comfort, and authentic hospitality that’s getting harder to find these days. You’re not just getting a place to sleep — you’re getting a genuine Georgian experience in one of Tbilisi’s most charming neighborhoods. The fact that couples rate the location so highly tells you something about the romantic appeal of the area, with its winding streets and traditional architecture. If you want to feel like you’re really experiencing Tbilisi rather than just passing through, this is exactly the kind of place that makes that happen.

Best hotels in Tbilisi range from charming boutique properties in the historic Old Town to elegant hillside hotels with stunning views of the Mtkvari River and Narikala Fortress.

Reviews of Lia’s Guest House

• Thomas from Switzerland (10/10)

  The room was on the upper floor of a city house in a quiet-ish side road, my room was facing the green courtyard. You go through several private living quarters, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. All beautifully furnished with antiques. The room is spacious, well furnished too. There is a kettle. The bathroom has everything one needs.
  
  The owner greeted me kindly in the middle of the night, helped out with water barrels during a water outage in the city. She was always reachable through the messenger.
  
  Overall a great stay!
