The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the rooftop views and friendly staff, but often mention the breathless hike up the hill.
The Terrace Boutique Hotel
$70-150/ nacht
Boek dit als You want the most Instagrammable breakfast view in Tbilisi and don't mind burning off the khinkali calories on a steep walk home.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Panoramic views of the Holy Trinity Cathedral and city rooftops
- Walking distance to the Funicular and Mtatsminda Pantheon
- Rooftop terrace that makes you feel like you own the city
Snel Overzicht: A view-obsessed boutique hotel that trades soundproofing and easy street access for a killer vantage point.
Beoordeeld door @merledelrosario1028955: I stayed here with my family during the winter holidays and it felt so homely. The rooms are simple, but the courtyard is the real star—we loved bundling up and sitting on the terrace. It's a perfect, affordable spot if you want to feel like a local in Tbilisi.

Reality check
The 'glass bathroom' design in some rooms offers zero privacy, and the breakfast juice is often criticized as not fresh.
- You prioritize a room with a view over everything else
- You are fit and don't mind steep uphill walks
- You want a quiet location just above the city noise

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a pool or gym?
No. Despite some confusing third-party listings, there is no pool or fitness center on-site.
How bad is the hill?
It is significant. It's a steep 10-15 minute walk up from Rustaveli Avenue. Most guests take a Bolt taxi back up.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a buffet breakfast is served daily on the rooftop terrace, usually 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM.
Do the rooms have balconies?
Most rooms have either a balcony or a terrace, but 'Standard' rooms may just have large windows. Check the specific room type.
Is it pet friendly?
No, pets are generally not allowed.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is limited free private parking, but the street is narrow and tricky to navigate.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Use the 'Bolt' app for taxis; it's cheap and saves you the uphill hike.
- ✨
The hotel is very close to the lower station of the Tbilisi Funicular — go there for sunset dinner at the Funicular Restaurant complex.
- ✨
Ask for a room *away* from the lobby if you want to sleep past 8 AM.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'glass bathroom' in some rooms is literally a glass box inside the bedroom — zero acoustic or visual privacy.
💡The elevator is tiny and slow; you might end up taking the stairs often.
💡The juice at breakfast is often the sugary carton kind, not fresh squeezed.
💡You can hear the Funicular tram passing in the distance from the terrace (it's charming, not annoying).
💡The walk down to Rustaveli is easy, but the walk back up is a cardio workout.
