The hype
Travelers obsess over the location and friendly staff but consistently note the rooms are on the smaller side.
Glarros Oldtown
$115-160 / noć
Rezerviraj ovo ako You want to be in the absolute dead center of Old Tbilisi and don't care about a pool or gym.
Zašto Ljudima Se Sviđa
- Unbeatable location steps from Freedom Square
- Modern, funky design in a historic neighborhood
- Excellent breakfast spread (even if it starts a bit late)
Brzi pregled: A solid 4-star boutique hotel masquerading as a 5-star property—great for sleeping and sightseeing, but lacks the luxury amenities to back up its rating.
Pregledano od @CurlySana: I loved how this place mixes ultra-modern design with the historic Old Town location. My room was super sleek, and waking up with that city energy right outside the window was the perfect way to start exploring Tbilisi. Definitely a vibe for design lovers.

FAQ & Skriveni savjeti
Sve što zaista trebate znati prije nego što rezervirate.
Is there a pool or gym?
No. Despite the 5-star claim, there are zero wellness facilities on-site.
How is the breakfast?
Very good variety with local and international options, but it runs 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM, which is late for early risers.
Is it quiet?
Courtyard rooms are peaceful. Street-facing rooms get significant noise from Kote Afkhazi, which is busy until late.
Does the hotel have parking?
No private lot. You have to use nearby public parking (~2 GEL/hour) which can be tricky to secure.
Is the location good for tourists?
Yes, it's arguably the best location in town—walkable to the Bridge of Peace, Freedom Square, and the sulfur baths.
Do the rooms have balconies?
Most standard rooms do not. You need to book specific higher-tier rooms for outdoor space, and even then, they are small.
Saveti insajdera
- ✨
Mention a birthday or anniversary before arrival—staff are known to leave complimentary cake/wine.
- ✨
The 'Daily Grind' coffee shop next door opens earlier than the hotel breakfast if you need a caffeine fix.
- ✨
Skip the hotel's 'Gastromania' for dinner; you are surrounded by better, cheaper local food.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što dođete
💡The '5-star' rating is self-awarded; international standards would place this as a solid 4-star.
💡Bathrooms are surprisingly small and some guests report 'tired' grout and cracks already.
💡The AC is centrally controlled in some seasons, which can make rooms stuffy.
💡There is no bidet hose in many restrooms, just a bidet bowl (or neither), which surprises some travelers.
💡Room service risotto is notoriously bad—stick to the club sandwich or eat out.
