The Property — Cherry Garden
Cherry Garden is a tidy, three-star guesthouse in Tbilisi’s Vera district, a leafy residential pocket away from the tourist crush. The lobby feels like a well-kept family home: parquet floors, a bookcase, and a front desk that doubles as a cafe bar. Its selling point is the shaded courtyard garden, where guests eat breakfast under a mulberry tree. This suits quiet travellers or solo explorers who want a local base, not a party hotel.
Chronicles of Tbilisi
Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century by King Vakhtang I Gorgasali, who reputedly discovered the area’s hot springs while hunting. Its Old Town layers medieval narrow lanes with Persian-influenced brick houses, ornate balconies, and the sulphur bathhouses of Abanotubani. Under Russian rule and later Soviet control, the city gained wide boulevards and striking modernist structures, such as the Wedding Palace. Post-2003 Rose Revolution, Tbilisi embraced a bold contemporary identity, with the futuristic Bridge of Peace and the refurbished Rike Park symbolising its turn toward Europe and tourism.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tbilisi guide →Best months
May, June, September — warm sunny days (22–28°C), relatively low humidity, and fewer tourists than July/August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the hottest months (often 32–35°C), plus the Tbilisi Open Air festival in late July draws crowds and hotel prices rise 20–30%.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer mild temperatures (15–20°C), lower room rates (often 30% less than peak), and far fewer visitors.
Weather & packing
Tbilisi’s climate can shift from a sunny 30°C midday to a sudden thunderstorm or a cool 18°C dusk. Pack layers: a light jacket or cardigan, plus an umbrella, and always bring comfortable walking shoes for the city’s steep, cobbled streets.
Live City Briefing — Tbilisi
- The new Tbilisi Metro line (to Samgori) is under construction; expect minor delays on line 1 near Marjanishvili station through late 2026.
- Rike Park cable car has been suspended for maintenance since May 2026; alternative transport to Narikala fortress is via bus 124 or a steep walk.
- Several streets in the Old Town (especially Leselidze and Shavteli) have been pedestrianised, improving access but limiting vehicle access for drop-offs.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Cherry Garden, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (opposite side from Chekhov Street). These upper floors avoid street-level noise and offer a quieter night.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors facing the street, especially those above the entrance on 28-30 Chekhov Street. They get direct road noise and foot traffic from the pavement.
Best views
Street-facing rooms on upper floors (3–4) have a view over the tree-lined Chekhov Street and local architecture. Courtyard rooms see a plain internal space but are much quieter.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quieter, with less likelihood of street noise and minimal disturbance from the lobby or lift.
🔊 Noise notes
28-30 Chekhov Street is a busy secondary road in central Tbilisi, with regular car and minibus traffic until late evening. The hotel's own lift and occasional service entrance noise affect rooms near the stairwell.
Insider tips
1. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a courtyard-facing room when booking — the front desk often accommodates this if requested in advance. 2. The hotel has no dedicated parking; use the paid lot 100m south on Chekhov Street, or pull up briefly at the entrance for luggage drop-off.
- 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

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
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.
