Das Eigentum — Telegraph
The Telegraph feels like a Tbilisi classic that's been gently modernised: wooden floors, a decent breakfast spread, and staff who actually remember your room number. It's a 3-star that doesn't pretend to be more, but it's clean, central and quiet at night — good for solo travellers or couples who want the Old Town on foot without paying boutique prices. The lobby smells faintly of coffee and old parquet, with marble steps leading up to tidy rooms that face either the courtyard or the street.
Chroniken von Tbilisi
Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century by King Vakhtang Gorgasali after he hunted a pheasant that supposedly boiled in a hot spring. Its architecture runs from medieval Narikala fortress and Persian-influenced bathhouses to ornate Art Nouveau mansions and brutalist concrete blocks, all layered along the Mtkvari River. The city has risen from post-Soviet neglect and the 2008 war into a hub of wine bars, tech start-ups and a fiercely independent arts scene. Today it's a place where you'll hear Georgian polyphonic singing from a cellar while a cable car lifts over the rooftops.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Tbilisi-Guide →Die besten Monate
May–June and September for warm, sunny days (22–28°C) with low humidity and manageable tourist numbers. These months offer the best balance of clear skies and comfortable exploring.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August is the hottest (sometimes 35°C+), plus Tbilisoba festival in October can swell crowds. Hotel prices at the Telegraph may rise 20–30% in late July/August, especially during Tbilisi Jazz Festival or local holidays like Independence Day (May 26).
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October are solid budget-friendly windows: 15–20°C, fewer tourists, and room rates often 15–25% lower than summer. Just pack a jacket for evening chill.
Wetter & Verpackung
Tbilisi's July is reliably sunny but can spike into heatwaves, then cool sharply at night thanks to the river valley. Pack a light linen or cotton layers rule: at least one long-sleeve top and a thin scarf for evening walks or for covering shoulders in churches.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Tbilisi

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Telegraph, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 5th floor) to minimize street noise from Shota Rustaveli Avenue. These rooms will also benefit from being away from the lift, which is located on the ground floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor and lower floors (1-4) as they may be subject to noise from the lift and potentially from the service entrance. Additionally, rooms on lower floors may receive more noise from the street due to the hotel's location on a main avenue.
Best views
East-facing rooms (Rooms 5-10) may offer views of the surrounding cityscape and the nearby Mtatskhami Park, while west-facing rooms (Rooms 11-16) may receive afternoon sun.
Quietest floors
5-10
🔊 Noise notes
Shota Rustaveli Avenue is a busy street with moderate traffic and pedestrian activity. Noise levels are generally manageable, but may be more noticeable in lower floors and rooms closest to the street.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to secure a room with a better view, as higher floors with views tend to fill up quickly. Request a room with a balcony to take advantage of the afternoon sun and the views of the city from a higher vantage point.
- 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.
