The Property — Feride
The Feride is a no-fuss 3-star hotel a short walk from Batumi's beachfront. The lobby feels brisk and businesslike, with a small reception desk and laminate floors. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, central base without frills. You get the essentials: a bed, a private bathroom, and reliable WiFi. The vibe is practical rather than cosy.
Chronicles of Batumi
Batumi was a quiet fishing port under the Ottoman Empire until Russia annexed it in 1878. The city boomed as a terminus of the Baku oil pipeline, and its 19th-century European quarter still shows French and Italian architectural influences. Under Soviet rule it became a subtropical resort for workers, and after 1991 it reinvented itself with hyper-modern glass towers like the Alphabetic Tower and the Ferris wheel on the coast. Today Batumi is a brash, fast-growing casino hub with a young, cosmopolitan energy.
Best Time to Visit
Full Batumi guide →Best months
June to September – consistently warm, sunny days (25–30°C) and the sea is swimmable. August is hottest but still manageable if you avoid the midday sun.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak summer months. Batumi fills with tourists from Georgia, Armenia, and Eastern Europe. Hotel prices double or triple. The Black Sea Jazz Festival in mid-July pushes demand even higher, with Batumi's seaside venues packed.
Budget shoulder season
May and September offer the best compromise: similar weather to peak months (May 18–22°C, September 22–25°C), far fewer crowds, and hotel prices drop 30–50%.
Weather & packing
Batumi's subtropical climate means sudden afternoon downpours even in dry months. Pack a compact umbrella or a rain jacket you can stuff in a daybag.
Live City Briefing — Batumi
- In 2025 Batumi's new cable car line up to Anuria Mountain opened from near the Ferris wheel, offering panoramic views over the bay. It's now a quick day trip from the city centre.
- The old Soviet-era 'Argo' funicular along the seafront is closed for renovation until late 2026. The alternative route to hotel Feride is a straightforward 15-minute walk down Rustaveli Avenue.
- Batumi's public transport authority introduced e-scooter rentals on the beachfront in 2025, with dedicated lanes; helmets available at kiosks near the dolphinarium.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Feride, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5 facing the rear courtyard rather than the main street. These mid-level floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within easy stair access. The hotel's side orientation away from ამაღლების ქუჩა offers more peace.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any room directly facing the main street (ამაღლების ქუჩა). Street-facing rooms will catch traffic noise from this busy Batumi thoroughfare, especially during daytime. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — lift machinery can hum at night.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (4–5) facing away from the street may offer glimpses of Batumi's skyline or green spaces. The front-facing rooms look directly onto a relatively busy city street — useful for people-watching but not restful.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 through 5 are the quietest. The lower floors pick up street and lobby noise; the upper two floors (if any) might have less consistent heating/cooling from the central system.
🔊 Noise notes
Batumi's streets can have traffic until late, especially in summer when nightlife picks up. The hotel's position on a named thoroughfare means delivery trucks early morning. Check if the hotel has double-glazed windows; if not, pack earplugs.
Insider tips
1. If you have heavy luggage, request a lower floor because the hotel may not have a lift (3-star in Batumi often relies on stairs) — ground or first floor saves hassle. 2. For a quieter stay, ask the front desk for a room at the back when you check in early; many 3-star hotels here don't let you pre-book specific rooms.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
