Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Palazzo, 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 Rustaveli Avenue. Avoid rooms ending with 1 or 2, as they may face the service entrance or lift shaft.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms 101-102 and 201-202 may be noisy due to proximity to the service entrance.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address is on a busy street, so there are no exceptional views to request. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the city skyline.
Quietest floors
Floors 6-10 are likely to be quieter, as they are further away from the street and lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially from pedestrians and traffic on Rustaveli Avenue. The hotel's location in the city center means that there will be some ambient noise at all times.
Insider tips
Request a room with a walk-in shower, as the standard rooms may have a bathtub. This is a great option for those who prefer a more modern bathroom experience. Take advantage of the hotel's 24-hour reception, as it allows for flexible check-in and check-out times. This can be particularly useful for early risers or late-night arrivals.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Georgian Lari (GEL)
Travellers can change money at banks or currency exchange offices in the city centre, but be aware that rates at the airport or tourist bureaux may be poor. It's a good idea to exchange some money before arriving or use an ATM to get a better rate.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in Tbilisi, especially in tourist areas, but some smaller shops and markets may only accept cash. Contactless payments are becoming more common, especially among the younger population.
Tipping in Georgia is not as common as in other countries, but rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10 GEL for good service is appreciated. Taxi drivers and hotel staff may also expect a small tip.

🚐 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.
