A propriedade — Magic

The Magic is a small, budget-conscious hotel in Tbilisi's old town, a short walk from the sulphur baths and the Narikala fortress cable car. The lobby is modest and functional—tiled floors, a reception desk, a few chairs—with friendly staff who speak some English. Its USP is location and price: clean rooms, basic breakfast, no frills. Suits independent travellers and backpackers who want a cheap base for exploring the historic centre, not a luxury experience.

Crónicas de Tbilisi

Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century AD by King Vakhtang Gorgasali, who discovered warm springs in the area and ordered a city built around them. Its architecture is a layered palimpsest—medieval churches, 19th-century Russian neoclassical buildings, crumbling Soviet-era blocks, and the bizarre, futuristic-glass Bridge of Peace that opened in 2010. Contemporary Tbilisi is proudly Eurasian: a crossroads of Persian, Ottoman, Russian, and European influences, reflected in its food, wine, and the fiercely independent, creative spirit of its people.

Melhores meses

May, June, September: warm but not scorching (mid-20s °C), crowds manageable, city parks and outdoor cafes buzzing.

Peak / Festival Surge

July and August: temperature hits +35 °C in the city, locals flee to the coast or mountains, hotel prices jump 20-30%. Main event is Tbilisoba (early October) but July sees no major festival—just intense heat and tourists from Russia and the Gulf.

Orçamento da temporada

Late September through early November: daytime temps still pleasant (20-25 °C), autumn light is golden, room rates drop after the summer peak. April is another cheap shoulder, but expect rain and cooler evenings.

Tempo e embalagem

Tbilisi has a humid subtropical climate, but summers are bone-dry with almost no rain. Pack light linen and cotton for daytime, but always bring a cardigan or light jacket for the cool evenings (temps can drop 10-15°C after dark). Don't forget sunscreen and a hat for the midday sun.

Livro City Briefing — Tbilisi

  • The cable car to Narikala fortress is currently operating with reduced hours (10:00-20:00) due to summer maintenance—check the day before to avoid a wasted walk uphill.
  • Work on the new metro station near Marjanishvili Square is ongoing, causing some street closures and noise along the Rustaveli Avenue corridor through July.
  • Several new natural wine bars have opened in the Chugureti district, notably around the Dry Bridge Market, but many are cash-only and close by 11pm.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Magic, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on floors 2 or 3 at the back of the building (away from the street). These floors avoid ground-level street noise while still being walkable via stairs if the lift is slow. Rooms facing the courtyard are significantly quieter.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid ground-floor rooms — street noise from Tbilisi's traffic and pedestrians will be constant. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift shaft; the lift can be noisy at all hours.

🪟

Best views

Rooms at the front facing Tbilisi's main street offer a classic city view, but expect traffic noise. The back view is of the courtyard or neighbouring buildings — less scenic but much quieter.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 2–3 are quietest, as they're above street level but not near any rooftop machinery or bar area.

🔊 Noise notes

This is a 3-star hotel in central Tbilisi, so street noise from cars, minibuses, and late-night pedestrians is a given on the street side. The lift is probably a single, older model — audible from adjacent rooms.

Insider tips

Ask for a room on a high back floor and request a kettle if not standard (common in 3-star Tbilisi hotels). Parking is rarely included, so use the nearby paid lot on Pushkin Street.

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

Vindo ao redor

🚗
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.
