The Property — Daviti Tbilisi
Daviti Tbilisi is a no-fuss 3-star hotel a short walk from Avlabari metro and the same from the old town's cobbled streets. The lobby is small and clean, with a 24-hour desk, a faint whiff of fresh bread from breakfast, and guests coming and going for day trips. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a decent sleep at the city's real gateway—halfway between the sulphur baths and the Dry Bridge flea market.
Chronicles of Tbilisi
Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century by King Vakhtang Gorgasali, who reportedly discovered hot springs while hunting in the wooded valley now called Abanotubani. The city sits on the Silk Road and has been razed and rebuilt 29 times, shaping a skyline where Sassanian brick rubs against Art Nouveau balconies and Soviet concrete blocks. Post-independence, Tbilisi has turned into a bohemian, cafe-heavy capital with a strong wine culture and a proud, messy identity that shrugs off neat labels. Its modern character is a layered blend of Orthodox churches, Persian-influenced baths, and street art in the hip Fabrika district.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tbilisi guide →Best months
May, June, September. Warm (25–30°C), lower humidity than July, and city parks are full but not packed with tourists. Perfect for exploring the old town and hiking nearby hills without melting.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak season: Tbilisi heats up (32–35°C) and Tbilisoba (city festival, early October) actually comes later, but July sees regional tourists, Georgians on holiday, and weddings. Hotel prices at 3-star places like Daviti often jump 20–30% above June rates.
Budget shoulder season
April and October give mild days (15–22°C), fewer tourists, and room rates roughly 15–25% lower than July. You'll dodge the July heat and get cheaper flights to Tbilisi International.
Weather & packing
Tbilisi in July is a dry heat—temperatures often hit 35°C by afternoon, but evenings can drop to 20°C. Pack a wide-brimmed hat, light long sleeves for sun, and one thin layer for the evening breeze off the Mtkvari River.
Live City Briefing — Tbilisi
- The new Tbilisi Metro ticket system (2025) now uses contactless cards and QR codes; buy a MetroMoney card at any station machine—it's cheaper than single tokens.
- Several streets around Avlabari (including nearby Ivane Javakhishvili) are being repaved this summer, meaning occasional diversions. Expect slightly longer walks to the old town in July.
- The National Gallery's summer exhibition (2026) is a major retrospective on Niko Pirosmani, running June–September—book timed entry online to skip queues.
- Construction on the new Tbilisi to Batumi railway line continues, with planned completion in 2027; trackwork near the city centre may cause minor delays on local trains.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Daviti Tbilisi, 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. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level street noise and are below the top floor, which can get afternoon heat in summer. The courtyard side is quieter than the street side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor — they're closest to the street and the lobby, which can be noisy with foot traffic and reception activity. Also avoid rooms facing the main road, especially on lower floors, due to Tbilisi's constant traffic noise.
Best views
Rooms on the street side on floors 3–5 offer views of Tbilisi's urban landscape, but traffic noise is a trade-off. The inner courtyard view is quieter but has no notable vista — just a typical city courtyard.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest — away from street-level bustle and the lift doors opening every few minutes on the first two floors.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Tbilisi, so expect constant car and minibus noise on the street-facing side. Early mornings and evenings are busiest. The building has a lift, so mechanical noise can be heard near the shaft on any floor.
Insider tips
1. If you're a light sleeper, request a courtyard-facing room on check-in — it's worth the lack of view. 2. The hotel doesn't have parking, so use the paid lot on Tsinamdzgvrishvili Street, a 3-minute walk east.
- 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.
