Travelers will have no problems locating a hostel or hotel in Tbilisi; as the largest city in Georgia, it has an understandably wide variety of options for any visitor to choose from, regardless of his or her budget.
Inexpensive lodging – Tbilisi hostels
It’s possible to find a friendly, welcoming hostel in Tbilisi or the surrounding areas for around US$10 or $15; hostels offering more privacy can also be booked for up to $20 or $25. Hostels are quite welcoming to travelers, and most of them rank very highly among past guests for cleanliness, friendliness, and convenience.
Tbilisi hotel accommodations
In addition to the low-cost option of a hostel, there is a steady range of hotel options for visitors. Budget hotels can be found for as low as US$35, though the low- to mid-range hotels in Tbilisi are typically more like $50 to $100. Many of these affordable solutions include most, if not all, the amenities you would expect to find at any hotel back home: there are in-hotel restaurants, swimming pools, fitness centers, business centers, wireless Internet connections, and any other standard hotel feature you can think of. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to be comfortable in Tbilisi.
But, if you feel like really splurging and pampering yourself, you do have options. All of the top chains, such as Sheraton, Marriott, and Radisson, have opened Tbilisi hotels. One of the most beautiful hotels in the city, the Radisson Blu Iveria, features a chic top floor area containing a gym, pool, spa, bar, and floor-to-ceiling walls—perfect for taking in the sights of the city.
Consider renting an apartment while staying in Tbilisi
Another option is the availability of guesthouses and apartments in Tbilisi. If you’re making an extended trip to the city and a hotel’s daily rates are not proving cost-effective, consider renting out a guesthouse for a month. Or, if you’d like the experience of living in a home, but you’re not going to be staying quite long enough, you can also rent a guesthouse or apartment by the day.
Of course, when you’re a newcomer in a town that’s unfamiliar to you, the last thing you want to do after an exhausting flight is to try to find a place to stay for the night. How will you go about finding a hostel? Never fear—the majority of Tbilisi accommodations, including many hostels, have websites where you can submit a reservation. This way, you can have the peace of mind of settling all of your Tbilisi accommodation details before ever leaving your home.
No matter what your budget, you should have no problem locating the perfect place to stay during your visit well ahead of time so that you can spend your vacation taking in all that the city has to offer.
