Rooms Hotel Tbilisi is the polished sibling of the better-known mountain hotel in Kazbegi, and it brings the same love of texture, books and mismatched vintage furniture to the heart of the capital. It stands on Merab Kostava Street, in the leafy Vera district where the city’s creative scene gathers, in the same quarter as the converted publishing house that houses Stamba. The 110 rooms are individually furnished, from compact Urban Queen rooms to spacious Signature King rooms, garden-view twins and a large Garden View Suite that sleeps four. Public spaces are a major part of the appeal: a modern European restaurant called The Kitcher serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is a coffee shop and a lobby bar, a garden and terrace, a small on-site art gallery and designer shops, and a spa offering massages. The booking page lists it as a five-star property with an exceptional guest rating of 9.4 from more than 340 reviews, with guests often praising the design, the staff and the walkable location.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 14 Merab Kostava Street, about three minutes on foot from Rustaveli Avenue and the Tbilisi Concert Hall, and about six minutes from Rustaveli metro station and Rose Revolution Square. The Opera and Ballet Theatre is about ten minutes away on foot, and the National Museum and Freedom Square are a pleasant walk or a quick metro ride.
The old town and the sulfur baths are a short taxi ride, and the airport is around half an hour by car. Day tours to Kazbegi, Mtskheta, Kakheti and further can collect you at the door.
Rooms
The rooms mix warm wood, tactile fabrics, books and eclectic furnishings, and sizes vary a lot, so choose according to how much space you want. Some guests find the smallest rooms compact, so consider a Signature King or a garden-view room for a longer stay. A garden view is pleasantly calm in a busy neighbourhood.
Who it suits
Design-minded couples, solo travellers and anyone who prefers a character-filled place with a social lobby to a standard hotel. The restaurant, bar and gallery give it a buzz that suits people who like to be in the middle of things. There is no pool or gym listed, so it is less suited to those who want resort-style facilities.
Good to know
The buffet breakfast is available for a fee and some guests find it pricey, though many rate it highly. Free self parking is a useful extra in this part of town, 24-hour room service is available, and pets are allowed for a fee. An airport shuttle can be arranged on request for a charge, and the hotel offers free cancellation on selected rates.
