The Property — Moon Light
Moon Light is a 3-star hotel on Batumi’s main Kobaladze Street, a five-minute walk from the boulevard and beach. The lobby feels like a modest but clean Soviet-modern reception with a small sitting area and a polite 24-hour desk. Rooms are compact, with air conditioning and flat-screen TVs; the USP is the price-to-location ratio. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a no-frills base near the seafront, not a resort experience.
Chronicles of Batumi
Batumi was founded in the 8th century as a Greek colony and later became a key Ottoman and Russian Black Sea port. After the USSR collapsed, the city underwent a construction boom in the 2000s, adding modern glass towers and the bizarre, twisting alphabetic tower. Today Batumi is a subtropical resort known for its casino strip, the renovated 1880s boulevard, and a mix of Soviet-era blocks with sleek new development. Its cultural identity blends Georgian hospitality, Russian-speaking tourism, and a lively summer party scene.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Moon Light, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 or 5 facing the back courtyard (south side) away from Rejeb Nizharadze Street. These upper floors have less street noise and better air circulation in summer.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (noisy from lobby and street) and any room facing the street side (north) on floors 2-3 — traffic on this narrow Batumi street can be loud, especially in the evening.
Best views
Street-facing rooms (north side) give a view of Rejeb Nizharadze Street and glimpses of the old town. Courtyard-facing rooms have a quieter outlook over neighbouring buildings and greenery.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 through 5 are the quietest — furthest from street and lobby noise, with fewer footfalls from guests passing through.
🔊 Noise notes
Rejeb Nizharadze is a medium-traffic residential street in Batumi's old centre. Expect car horns, motorbikes, and occasional late-night foot traffic. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests basic soundproofing — avoid street-side rooms if you're a light sleeper.
Insider tips
1. Parking in this part of Batumi is tight; ask ahead if they have a reserved spot or can recommend a nearby 24-hour lot (often free after 8pm). 2. If you're arriving late, request a room on floor 4 — it's high enough to avoid street noise but low enough to use stairs if the lift is busy.
- 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
