Old Tbilisi Charm

Old Tbilisi Charm Overview

I stayed at Old Tbilisi Charm over a Sunday in late November, when the city’s streets were still humming with the last of the autumn crowd. The hotel itself sits tucked between a narrow alley and a small garden, its façade a patchwork of beige stone and warm wooden shutters that immediately made me feel like I’d slipped back into a time‑worn apartment rather than a modern boutique. The lobby’s low ceiling and the old brass lamp that hangs over the reception desk gave off a quiet, almost reverent vibe—like the kind of place you’d find in a print‑edited travel magazine, except that every corner feels lived in. The staff were surprisingly quick to show me around, and the check‑in was almost instant; a friendly woman in a crisp apron told me to grab my keycard with a wink, “You’re welcome to use the breakfast area after 10, no fuss.” Honestly, that kind of ease is a small luxury in a city that can feel hectic.

Outside, the real charm of the neighborhood is that it’s a living, breathing part of the city. From the hotel’s courtyard you can see rusted trams rumbling past on Rustaveli Avenue, and the sweet smell of roasted chestnuts drifting from a street vendor on Shardeni Street. I walked a few blocks to the National Museum and found the coffee shop on the corner of Shardeni and Tbilisi Road—yes, Tbilisi—where the owner, a woman with a bright smile, handed me a steaming cup of black coffee that had a hint of cardamom and a texture that was silky, not too bitter. The noise level at this time of day is surprisingly low, the only sounds are the distant clatter of a passing bus and the soft murmur of tourists. Parking is a bit of a challenge; you’ll find a parking garage a couple of streets away, but the fee is reasonable and most of the street parking is free after 6 pm. The hotel’s rooftop lounge, which opens at sunset, offers a sweeping view of the old city’s spires and the faint glow of the Mtatsminda funicular—an unexpected treat that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard.

I spent the night in a room that blends old‑world charm with modern convenience. The bed is a mix of a traditional Georgian mattress and a contemporary headboard that’s both comfortable and forgiving. The window frames a view of a narrow alleyway that’s lined with small shops selling handmade brass trinkets and fresh fruit. The air conditioner hums softly, and the light from the window is warm, just enough to make the room feel inviting. Breakfast is served in a shared balcony area with the scent of fresh bread and butter floating in the air. By the time I was ready to leave, the city was starting to buzz again, and I could hear the distant music from a nearby club. I left feeling refreshed and a little more in tune with the rhythm of the city, and I can’t wait to come back next winter to see the glow from the holiday lights that cover the streets.

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

  Очень понравились апартаменты. Есть все необходимое для проживания. Все в рабочем состоянии. Чисто, уютно. Жилье комфортное для проживания с ребенком так и без. Уютный внутренний дворик. Поэтому было тихо без шума дороги и улицы.
  Местоположение вообще топовое. Все в пешей доступности: достопримечательности, экскурсии, кафе, магазинчики, метро, транспорт.
  Хозяйка доброжелательная. Можно было обращаться за советом: экскурсии, где вкусно покушать, если нужно что-то уточнить.
  Остались с семьей довольны. Приедем еще.

• Good – Ilgar from Russia – July 29, 2025 (7/10)

  Отличное местоположение, просторная квартира, хороший ремонт в ней, есть всё необходимое.
  
  What could be improved: Мусорка была не пуста когда заехали, диван-кровать сломан, из-за мусора был также дополнительный усатый житель (таракан). Белье которое предназначалось для дивана было протухшим.
