Orexus Tower 2 Bedroom Flat near Holiday Inn Hotel in City Center

Orexus Tower 2 Bedroom Flat near Holiday Inn Hotel in City Center Overview

I was just in Tbilisi looking for a place that wouldn’t feel like a hotel chain, and this Orexus Tower flat was a surprise. The building itself looks a modern office block from the outside, but step inside and you’re greeted with a surprisingly airy lobby that felt more like a co‑working space than a waiting area. The staff actually remembered my name because I had signed in at the Holiday Inn a day earlier – a nice touch that made me feel less like a tourist and more like a regular. I had to wait a few minutes for the key because the room was still being cleaned, but that small delay felt worth it because the check‑in process was otherwise super smooth. They handed me a keycard and a short guide to the building’s Wi‑Fi, and a local friend of mine joked that they could probably get a live stream from the apartment at any time.

The flat itself is a sweet 2‑bedroom space that I can honestly say felt like a home. The living room is big enough that the sofa actually fits my whole family’s luggage – no, seriously, there was even a fold‑out bed for my sister’s back‑packing gear. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a fridge that’s the size of a single person’s wardrobe, a kettle, and even a little espresso machine that makes the smell of coffee so strong that you can almost taste it while you’re standing at the window. I did notice a faint hum from the street below, but it’s not the kind of noise that keeps you up all night; it’s more like the distant chatter of a busy square. The balcony opens onto a block of buildings that look like they belong to a residential complex, so you can actually hear the faint clatter of a neighbor’s car, but that’s pretty normal for Saburtalo. Parking is a bit of a puzzle: there’s a small street-side spot that’s free but only for a few minutes, so you’ll have to be quick if you’re planning to leave a lot of luggage behind; otherwise, the building’s underground parking is paid but reliable, and you can park right under the lobby – I was able to leave my suitcase there for an extra hour while I explored the neighborhood.

Speaking of the neighborhood, you’ll find that the flat is only a few minutes’ walk from the Mtkvarze metro station and the bustling Tbilisi Zoo – which, by the way, is a surprisingly quiet spot during the early morning hours, perfect for a quick jog or a coffee break. The street itself, Pavle Aslanidi, is a blend of old Georgian balconies and new glass facades; you can easily spot a local bakery that serves the best khachapuri you’ll ever taste, and there’s a small market selling fresh produce that smells like sweet summer. If you’re a foodie, you’ll want to check out the nearby “Shani” restaurant, known for its traditional khinkali, which is just a few steps away. All in all, I’d say the Orexus Tower flat offers a level of comfort and local flavor that’s hard to find in a chain hotel. It’s not perfect – the Wi‑Fi can drop during peak hours, and the street noise at night can be a bit distracting if you’re a light sleeper – but honestly, for anyone who wants to feel like a local in Saburtalo, this place hits the mark. The only thing I would add is a reminder to bring your own headphones if you’re sensitive to late‑night traffic, but other than that, you can trust that the view of the city lights at night is worth every penny.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Tbilisi through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s wine culture and architectural heritage.
