TiflisLux Apartment – Old City

TiflisLux Apartment – Old City Overview

I landed in Tbilisi last month and was immediately drawn to the old‑town vibe of the city, which feels like a living museum with stone‑washed streets and the scent of fresh khachapuri drifting from a nearby bakery. The TiflisLux Apartment – Old City sits on Petre Chaiakovski Str. 8, a narrow lane that cuts through the heart of the historic quarter. As soon as I stepped out of the metro, the sound of church bells from the nearby Sioni Cathedral was a constant backdrop, a gentle reminder that this place is steeped in centuries of history. The check‑in was surprisingly breezy: the front desk staff, a friendly woman named Ana, welcomed me with a warm smile and handed over the key card in a voice that felt more like a local greeting than a hotel protocol. She mentioned that the building is part of a restored 19th‑century townhouse, which explains the high ceilings and exposed wooden beams that give the place a cozy, almost rustic feel.

Inside the apartment, the décor is a blend of modern chic and Georgian heritage. The living area is spacious, with a plush sofa that’s perfect for scrolling through your phone after a long day, but the real star is the large balcony that opens onto a cobblestone alley. From there I could see the entire Old Town – the jagged silhouette of the ancient city walls, the rusted iron railings of the old bridges, and the faint glow of streetlamps that flicker like fireflies. The noise level is reasonable; the only real buzz comes from the market stalls in the square, which are lively around noon but quiet by 10 pm. The kitchen is surprisingly well‑equipped, with a stainless steel fridge, a small stove, and a coffee maker that brews an excellent pot of black coffee. I did notice that the bathroom fixtures feel a little dated, but the tiles are clean and the shower offers a good water pressure. Parking in this part of the city can be a challenge, but the hotel offers a paid underground spot a block away, and I found a free street spot just a few meters from the entrance, which is a lifesaver if you’re lugging luggage.

Overall, it’s the kind of place that feels like a home away from home, with a local charm that you can’t get from a hotel. If you’re planning to explore the Old Town, the hotel’s location is unbeatable – you can stroll to the Metekhi Church, the charming café on Gorgasali Street, or the bustling market near the Sameba Cathedral. The only real drawback is that the balcony, while beautiful, can be a bit windy during the early mornings, so I’d suggest bringing a small throw blanket if you’re a light sleeper. But honestly, the price point is solid for a 4‑star experience, and the staff’s genuine enthusiasm makes every stay feel personal. Whether you’re in town for a quick weekend escape or a longer stay, the TiflisLux Apartment – Old City will leave you with a sense of the city that’s both historic and alive.
