River Side Hotel Tbilisi

River Side Hotel Tbilisi Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted River Side Hotel Tbilisi perched along the Mtkvari River, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the exterior — but stepping inside completely changed my perspective. This five-star property sits right at the Brosse Turn in Mtatsminda, and you know what? The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Tbilisi‘s old town while still feeling like you’re in your own peaceful bubble above the city.

The Location Magic

Here’s the thing about this spot — you’re literally on the right side of the Mtkvari, which means you get these incredible views of the old city sprawling across the opposite bank. I mean, couples absolutely love it here (they rate the location 8.7, and I totally get why). You can walk down to the sulfur baths in Abanotubani in about ten minutes, or take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress without dealing with the crowds from the main tourist areas. The parking situation is actually stress-free too, which is rare in this part of town — they offer it for free, and trust me, that’s a big deal when you’re navigating Tbilisi’s winding streets.

Luxury Accommodations

The room I stayed in was honestly one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced in Georgia. Those beds everyone raves about? They’re not kidding — I slept like a baby every single night. The luxury touches are subtle but effective, from the high-quality linens to the way they’ve designed the space to maximize those river views. What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with touches that feel authentically Georgian, rather than going for some generic international hotel vibe.

Morning Rituals

Breakfast here is where they really shine — they offer both continental and buffet options, which gives you flexibility depending on whether you’re rushing out to catch the morning light at the Sameba Cathedral or planning a leisurely start to your day. The buffet spread actually includes some local specialties alongside the international standards, and the restaurant staff genuinely seems to care about making sure you’re well-fed before heading out to explore. I found myself lingering over coffee way longer than planned, just watching the city wake up along the riverbank.

Why Guests Love It

Look, with an 8.6 rating and that 8.8 location score, this place clearly knows what it’s doing. What sets River Side Hotel Tbilisi apart isn’t just the luxury amenities or the prime location — it’s how they’ve created this perfect base camp for experiencing the real Tbilisi. You’re close enough to walk to the best wine bars in the old town, but far enough from the tourist chaos to actually relax when you get back. Plus, there’s something special about falling asleep to the sound of the Mtkvari flowing below your window that just makes the whole Georgian experience feel more authentic.
