The Property — Paragraph Tbilisi
Paragraph Tbilisi is a compact, design-forward three-star tucked into a restored 19th-century townhouse on the quiet end of Gudiashvili Street. The lobby feels like a gallerist’s flat: exposed brick, curated local ceramics, a single dim lamp over a low sofa. No pool, no restaurant—just clean lines, fast WiFi, and a courtyard where you can drink coffee from the communal kettle. It suits independent travellers who want a calm base in the Old Town without paying for frills they won’t use.
Chronicles of Tbilisi
Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century by King Vakhtang Gorgasali, who reportedly spotted hot springs while hunting and ordered a city built around them. By the 19th century, Russian Imperial planners layered grand boulevards and ornate ironwork over the older Persian-influenced districts, creating the city’s signature mix of crumbling balconies and ornate facades. Soviet rule added Brutalist blocks and a metro, while the post-2003 Rose Revolution ushered in a wave of contemporary hotels and wine bars. Today, Tbilisi is a gritty, self-aware capital where 8th-century sulphur baths sit next to graffiti-covered nightclubs.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tbilisi guide →Best months
May, June, September for warm days, low humidity, and café terrace weather without the July-August heat spikes.
Peak / festival surge
July–August is peak tourist season due to European summer holidays and the Tbilisoba festival (early October). Hotel prices jump 30–50% from shoulder rates; Paragraph Tbilisi’s limited rooms book out weeks ahead.
Budget shoulder season
Late May, early June and September offer the best balance: mild 22–26°C days, fewer visitors, and rates roughly 20% lower than peak. October is also pleasant if you dodge Tbilisoba weekend.
Weather & packing
July in Tbilisi is dry and often hits 35°C, but thunderclaps can roll in unannounced from the Caucasus foothills. Pack light linen, a sun hat, a compact umbrella, and closed-toe shoes for the uneven cobbled streets.
Live City Briefing — Tbilisi
- Tbilisi’s new electric bus fleet began full service on Route 6 (Rustaveli to Didube), cutting journey times by 15 minutes and reducing noise in the centre.
- The old Dedaena Park market has reopened as a covered food hall with 20 new vendors, offering a cleaner alternative to Deserter’s Bazaar for fresh produce and khachapuri.
- From June 2026, all short-term rental apartments in the Old Town district must register with the city, potentially tightening supply of Airbnbs—book your hotel early for July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Paragraph 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 if available — these are high enough to avoid street-level bustle but still within the lift’s reach and generally quieter than lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor facing the main street; Tbilisi’s narrow streets carry traffic, honking, and late-night pedestrian noise. Also steer clear of rooms near the lift shaft — the clatter of the lift can be heard through thin walls.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms facing the inner courtyard offer a bit of greenery and less street grime; street-facing rooms on floors 3+ give you a slice of Tbilisi’s chaotic charm but with more noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 tend to be quieter, as they’re above the street’s immediate noise while still being served by the lift.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main-ish Tbilisi street — expect occasional honking, motorbikes, and early-morning street cleaning. The lift mechanism is audible on adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Check if a courtyard-facing room is available when booking; otherwise, request a room on the 4th floor to reduce street noise. 2. If arriving by car, note that Tbilisi’s parking is tight — ask about nearby paid lots or street parking permits at check-in.
- 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
Use ATMs in central Tbilisi for best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist spots — they give poor rates.
Cards (Visa/Mastercard) are widely accepted in shops, restaurants and taxis; contactless and Apple/Google Pay work in most places, but carry cash for markets and small kiosks.
Not expected, but rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% is appreciated in smarter restaurants. Taxis: round up to nearest lari. Hotels: a few lari for luggage or housekeeping is fine.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Filter or instant coffee from a bakery or street stall: around 2-3 GEL.
Khachapuri or a simple meat/potato pie from a bakery: 4-6 GEL. A set lunch in a cafe: 12-18 GEL.
A main course in a casual local restaurant: 12-20 GEL. Khinkali (dumplings) at a diner: about 1-1.5 GEL each.
Head to the Dry Bridge area or narrow streets near Liberty Square for cheap khachapuri, khinkali and lobiani (bean bread) from small bakeries and stalls.
Common budget chains: Goodwill, Spar, and local minimarkets. Carrefour is also widespread for basics.
The Dry Bridge market is good for second-hand/vintage finds; main high-street brands are in shopping centres like Tbilisi Mall or East Point.
Use the metro for 1 GEL per ride (buy a rechargeable Metromoney card). From the airport, take bus 337 (0.50 GEL) to Didube metro station, then switch to metro. Avoid taxis from the airport — they overcharge wildly.
Avoid eating/drinking in the Old Town tourist strip — walk 5-10 mins into side streets for half-price meals. Buy a Metromoney card for public transport. Tap water is safe, so refill a bottle rather than buying bottled.
Emergency Contacts
TbilisiAll emergency services in Georgia, including Tbilisi, are reached through a single number: 112. Operators usually speak English. For non-urgent police matters, call 102. Keep your passport or a copy handy — you may need it to confirm identity.
💡 Save these numbers in your phone. In life-threatening emergencies, call immediately.
Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Tbilisi, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.

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.
