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.

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

  • Tbilisi's newest metro station, Varketili 2, opened in late 2025; the line now runs deeper into the suburbs but expect occasional closures for station upgrades through 2026.
  • Rustaveli Avenue is undergoing a major pedestrianisation project, with partial road closures until end of August 2026; use the parallel Kote Marjanishvili street for taxis.
  • The popular sulphur bathhouses in Abanotubani are raising prices for July high season: book ahead or expect 40–50 GEL for a basic private room.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before 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.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Umher zu kommen

🚗
Tbilisi Metro 1 GEL

Avlabari Station (300m from Hotel Nice) → Station Square (central hub)

10 min · Every 3-5 min · 06:00 – 00:00

💡 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.

🚌
Bus 337 1.5 GEL

Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) → Avlabari Square (5 min walk to Hotel Nice)

35 min · Every 15-20 min · 06:00 – 00:00

💡 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.

🚕
Bolt (ride-hailing app) 20 GEL

Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) → Hotel Nice

25 min · On demand · 24/7

💡 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.

🚕
Local Taxi (street hail) 5 GEL

Rustaveli Avenue (near Hotel Nice) → Old Tbilisi (Bath district)

10 min · On demand · 24/7

💡 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.
