Das Eigentum — Simon's
Simon's is a compact, family-run three-star in Tbilisi's old city, a short walk from the sulphur baths and the cable car to the Narikala fortress. The lobby feels like someone's front room — worn leather sofa, a pot of tea always on the go, and a wall of local art postcards. It's for travellers who want a base that's central and clean, not flashy, and who prefer a warm hello from the owner over a concierge desk.
Chroniken von Tbilisi
Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century by King Vakhtang I Gorgasali, who legend says hunted in the area and discovered hot springs. Its architecture is a jumble of Persian brick, Russian neoclassical, Art Nouveau and Soviet concrete, thanks to repeated invasions and a 19th-century boom as a Silk Road stop. After the 2003 Rose Revolution, the city tore down illegal Soviet-era kiosks, repainted old facades and opened a wave of design hotels and wine bars. Today it's a confident, scruffy-chic capital where you hear Georgian, Russian, English and Azeri in the same café.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Tbilisi-Guide →Die besten Monate
May and September are ideal: May brings new greenery and mid-20s°C temps, while September offers warm but comfortable weather after the August heat. Both months have relatively low crowds compared to high summer.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak season with temperatures regularly hitting 35°C. The Tbilisoba festival in October is also busy, but the main driver is European summer holidays. Hotel prices in July-August can rise 30–50% over shoulder rates.
Budget Schulter Saison
April, May and September are the best budget shoulder months. April is cooler (10–18°C) but cheaper, while May and September offer mild weather, fewer tourists and lower hotel rates.
Wetter & Verpackung
Tbilisi has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters; July afternoons are stifling but evenings drop sharply by 10°C. Pack a light jacket or cardigan for after sunset, and always carry a reusable water bottle — public fountains are safe and plentiful.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Tbilisi
- The new Tbilisi City Card launched in early 2026, covering public transport, museums and the cable car for 48 hours — good value if you plan to sightsee.
- Central Rustaveli Avenue is partially closed until September for a road-surface replacement; expect longer bus journeys and consider walking or using the metro instead.
- The annual Tbilisi Jazz Festival runs from 16–21 July, bringing evening concerts at the Philharmonic Hall — book dinner tables early if you want to eat after shows.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Simon's, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the rear of the building. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level bustle on Tbilisi's main roads, and the back side faces the quieter courtyard away from traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid the 1st floor entirely. It's directly above the lobby and restaurant, so you'll hear breakfast clatter from 7 am, plus passing street noise is loudest at pavement level. Also skip rooms facing the front, as Tbilisi's main streets carry heavy traffic noise.
Best views
Rear-facing rooms on floors 2–4 overlook the courtyard or adjacent buildings, which is calm but unremarkable. Front-facing rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor offer a glimpse of Tbilisi's hilly streets and old architecture, but trade that for traffic noise. No river or mountain views here.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest. The hotel has no lift, so these are walk-up only, meaning less foot traffic and no lift mechanism hum. The 2nd floor is fair but can pick up noise from the stairwell.
🔊 Noise notes
This is a 3-star hotel on a main Tbilisi street, so expect constant car and minibus noise from around 7 am to midnight. The lack of double glazing is common in this bracket. Weekends add bar and restaurant noise from nearby venues. Stairwells amplify voices, especially in evenings.
Insider tips
1) Since there's no lift, pack light or request a ground-floor room if stairs are an issue. 2) Check in after 2 pm to avoid overlap with cleaning staff—early arrivals often get the noisiest leftover 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

Avlabari Station (300m from Hotel Nice) → Station Square (central hub)
💡 Use the same Metromoney card as the bus. Trains are Soviet-era but reliable. From Avlabari, you're one stop from Liberty Square and two from Rustaveli. Mind the gap – doors close fast.
Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) → Avlabari Square (5 min walk to Hotel Nice)
💡 Get a Metromoney card from the yellow machine near the bus stop – you tap on and off. Bus drops you near the metro, so you can connect to the hotel quickly. Avoid rush hour (8-9am, 6-7pm) when it gets packed.
Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) → Hotel Nice
💡 Order via the Bolt app to avoid inflated airport taxi prices. The pickup zone is just outside arrivals – follow the signs. Cash works but app payment is smoother.
Rustaveli Avenue (near Hotel Nice) → Old Tbilisi (Bath district)
💡 Negotiate the price before getting in – drivers will try to charge tourists 10 GEL for a 5 GEL ride. Say 'samasi GEL?' and settle. Better yet, stick with Bolt for short hops where prices are fixed.
