SaBa Apartments in Old Tbilisi Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to SaBa Apartments in Old Tbilisi, you’ll find yourself on a quiet residential street that feels authentically Georgian — no tourist traps in sight. The building itself is unassuming, which I actually appreciate because it means you’re staying where locals live, not in some sterile hotel district. Getting to the third floor is easy enough, and honestly, the moment you step inside, you realize this four-star property punches well above its weight.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about this spot in Tbilisi — you’re genuinely in Old Town, but on a street that doesn’t get overrun with tour groups. Lado Meskhishvili street is one of those addresses that puts you within walking distance of everything that matters. The sulfur baths are maybe ten minutes away, and you can easily wander to Narikala Fortress or the Bridge of Peace without dealing with taxi hassles. What’s really nice is that couples seem to get this location — they consistently rate it around 9.4, and I can see why. There’s something romantic about being tucked into the old quarter while still having easy access to modern conveniences.
The Apartment Experience
These aren’t your typical hotel room — each apartment feels like staying in someone’s well-appointed home. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with enough room to actually spread out, which you don’t always get in Tbilisi’s historic center. I mean, you’ve got a proper kitchen setup if you want to grab some khachapuri from the local bakery and have breakfast at your own pace. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between modern comfort and Georgian character, and honestly, the attention to detail shows in everything from the lighting to the way they’ve arranged the living spaces.
Practical Perks
You know what’s genuinely useful? They’ve got free private parking right on site, which is actually a big deal in Old Tbilisi where finding a spot can be a nightmare. Most places in this area either don’t offer parking or charge extra for it, so this is one of those practical advantages that makes your stay smoother. The property consistently scores around 9.2 for location, and after staying here, I get why — it’s that perfect balance of being central without being chaotic.
Why Guests Love It
With a 9.5 rating, this place clearly does something right, and I think it comes down to authenticity without sacrificing comfort. You’re not staying in a cookie-cutter hotel — you’re experiencing Tbilisi the way it’s meant to be experienced, from a base that actually feels like home. The combination of being in the top-rated area of the city while having amenities like dedicated parking and spacious apartments makes this spot work for different types of travelers. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway or just want to explore Georgian culture from a genuine neighborhood base, SaBa Apartments delivers without the pretense.

Reviews of SaBa Apartments in Old Tbilisi
A very comfortably and cozy stay! – Nawar from Qatar – June 6, 2025 (10/10)
The property was very clean and comfortable, with everything available that we needed!
It was perfectly located near the city center either busses and a metro station within walking distance. There were also many restaurants, cafes and supermarkets close by! Carrefour is also walking distance! The owner very graciously allowed us to stay an extra 2 hours before checking out!
What could be improved: The neighbourhood is quite old, with a noisy dog nearby that barked all night!excellent – Imp from Armenia – May 10, 2025 (9/10)
The place is awesome, we know and like Alvabari – a lot of groceries, restaurants in area. Close to roads and historical center. Bus station and church are aslo here . Automatic check in is excellent – codes are sent in messages, so you can arrive at any time. Room is super, view is also marvelous. The price is a little bit higher than for other places around.
What could be improved: in our room – 15 drain in bathroom was blocked a bit.Exceptional – Valerii from Germany – December 14, 2024 (10/10)
the view and location were wonderful
Beautiful Views and a Very convenient place – Ultragiannis from Greece – October 30, 2024 (9/10)
•Relatively close to the Rike park 🏞️
•A few restaurants around 🥑
•Ablavari metro station really close 🚂
•Holy Trinity church in the night, was spectacular! ⛪ Views of the hill, too!
•Walking distance from central spots (20-30 mins) and Rustaveli Avenue.
•Keep in mind though it is up on the hill so the road heading to the apartment, is a little bit inclining 🏔️
•Clean and with all facilities
•Autimatic check in ✅
•Easy communication with the owner 📲
What could be improved: •No sound proofing 🚨 ⏰
Neither in the building or in the rooms next to you.
I had the bad luck of having a noisy tenant who was really loud and disturbing and not caring of their surroundings as they were even banging stuff in the room 🫣
Someone was also moving furniture from the upper floor for both days early in the mornings.
But yeah,no soundproofing 🔊Exceptional – Nikola from Czech Republic – September 2, 2024 (10/10)
Very nice accomodation, great location and wonderfull view. Check in was easy.
Wonderful – Alex from Israel – September 2, 2024 (9/10)

What could be improved: Sometimes had a bit of bad smell from the sewerageExceptional – Evgeni from Israel – August 29, 2024 (10/10)
Beautiful view and a comfortable modern style apartment
Wonderful place with everything you need – Charlotte from Denmark – May 13, 2024 (10/10)
Excellent apartment, comfortable and convenient. Very good bed, tons of TV channels, well equipped kitchen, nice and clean bathroom, amazing view and balcony. The owner let us check in early as we were moving from another place in the city and would have had a 3 hour gap, so that was really, really great!
Location is good for walking to old town, metro etc. 24h supermarket very nearby.
What could be improved: My only suggestion would be breakfast bowls or deep plates for cereal/porridge/soup etc. But that's a tiny detail. Everything was great.Exceptional – Nadiah from Malaysia – April 30, 2024 (10/10)
Everything is good, location, place
What could be improved: NothingWonderful – Shishir from India – March 16, 2024 (9/10)
