The hype
Travelers love the spacious rooms and friendly staff (shoutout to Chef Zakaria), but everyone hates the isolated location.
Royal Tulip Hotel And Casino Tbilisi
$100-160 / nakti
Rezervējiet, ja You want massive 5-star rooms and a casino vibe for a 3-star price, and don't mind taking a $3 taxi to the city center.
Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- Rooms are genuinely huge (starting at 35m²)
- Breakfast buffet features surprisingly excellent Indian cuisine
- River views from the upper floors are sweeping and cinematic
Ātrs apskats: A shiny, modern glass tower stranded on a highway embankment that delivers luxury hardware but struggles with casino smoke and location isolation.
Pārskatīts: @monarchrajexplorer: I stayed here for a few nights and it was exactly what I needed. The room was super modern, and I loved running on the treadmill looking out at the city. The spa is a total bonus if you have downtime. Definitely ask for a high floor!

Reality check
The 'river view' is lovely, but the 'city view' is just a view of a busy highway and a desolate embankment.
- You prioritize square footage and modern bathrooms over walkability
- You enjoy casino gaming and late-night onsite entertainment
- You are traveling with a car (free parking is a big plus here)

- Maintenance: Newer property feel, but occasional reports of broken AC controls or elevator glitches.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and white, standard 4-5 star quality.
- Odors & scents: The biggest issue: distinct cigarette smoke smell in hallways and some 'non-smoking' rooms.

BUJ un paslēptie paņēmieni
Viss, kas jums patiešām jāzina pirms grāmatošanas.
Is the hotel walkable to Old Tbilisi?
No. It is a 3-4km drive along a highway. Walking is dangerous and unpleasant due to lack of sidewalks.
Is there a free shuttle to the center?
No. You must rely on taxis (cheap, ~$3-5) or the public bus #309 which stops nearby.
Does the hotel smell like smoke?
Yes, frequently. While rooms are 'non-smoking', the casino influence means hallways and some rooms often have a lingering cigarette odor.
Is the pool heated?
It is an outdoor seasonal pool, generally not heated enough for comfortable use outside of hot summer months.
Do they serve alcohol?
Yes, there are multiple bars, including a swim-up bar in summer and a lobby lounge.
Is it good for families?
Surprisingly yes, due to the large rooms and pool, but keep children away from the casino area and be mindful of the smoke.
Insider padomi
- ✨
Ask for Chef Zakaria at breakfast if you want a special Indian omelet or dish; he is a local legend among guests.
- ✨
The 'City View' is a euphemism for 'Highway View' — pay the extra $10 for the River View.
- ✨
There is a small 24/7 Spar supermarket about 10 minutes walk away, but the walk is grim; buy water/snacks before you return to the hotel.
5 lietas, kas jāzina pirms doties
💡The 'desolate' surroundings mean your only neighbor is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a highway.
💡The bathroom water pressure is generally good, but there was a notable incident of a total water outage reported by guests.
💡The casino clientele dominates the vibe in the evenings, leading to a busier lobby than a typical hotel.
💡Housekeeping is aggressive; use your 'Do Not Disturb' sign or they might barge in at 9 AM.
💡The 'Swim-up Bar' is often unmanned unless the hotel is at high occupancy.
