The Property — Sunny Night
The Sunny Night is a functional three-star just off Rustaveli Avenue. The lobby is small, with a worn reception desk and a flatscreen playing Georgian news; the staff are polite and efficient. Rooms are clean but dated, with basic furniture and good air conditioning. It suits budget travellers who need a central base and don't mind a no-frills environment.
Chronicles of Tbilisi
Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century by King Vakhtang Gorgasali, who was said to have discovered the hot springs while hunting. Over centuries, it absorbed Persian, Ottoman, Russian, and Soviet influences, visible in the patchwork of old town brickwork, Art Nouveau facades, and brutalist blocks. Today, it is a vibrant cultural hub with a young, tech-savvy population and a bohemian cafe scene, though poverty and corruption remain real issues.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tbilisi guide →Best months
May, June, September. Warm days with less humidity than July, good for walking the old town. Crowds are moderate, and hotel prices are slightly below peak.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Tbilisi's summer heat can hit 35°C. The Tbilisi Jazz Festival (October) draws international fans. Hotel prices rise 20-30% in summer; book early. The August independence celebrations add crowds.
Budget shoulder season
April and October. Lower prices, cool breezes, and fewer tourists. April has erratic rain but cheaper rooms. October is dry with autumn colours, ideal for hiking nearby.
Weather & packing
The climate has a surprising summer heat island effect: the city centre stays hot until late evening. Pack a reusable water bottle and a light scarf to cover shoulders at churches.
Live City Briefing — Tbilisi
- Tbilisi's Funicular cable car is under maintenance until late July; use the bus 124 or walk up to Mtatsminda Park instead.
- Several new speakeasy-style bars opened along Dadiani Street, notably 'Chai' for natural wine and local crafts.
- The city's waste management strike ended, but recycling bins are still scarce; carry out your own rubbish.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sunny Night, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 or 5, facing the courtyard at the back of the building, where road noise from Pekini Avenue is muffled and you get a quiet, dark sleep.
Rooms to avoid
Skip rooms on floors 1–2, which sit close to Pekini’s traffic, and any room directly above the lobby or the single lift—noise from footfall and the motor carries.
Best views
Rooms at the front on floors 4–5 overlook Pekini Avenue, a broad, busy boulevard with lines of trees and Soviet-era blocks; good if you like city buzz, but expect headlights and horns until late.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are best for peace: the lift stops here but engine hum is faint, and they’re high enough to deaden street sound.
🔊 Noise notes
Pekini Avenue is a main artery—constant traffic, honking, and occasional sirens. The hotel has no soundproofing upgrade, so rear-facing rooms are your best bet. The single lift can ding audibly on each arrival.
Insider tips
If you’re driving, the address sits on a wide avenue—there’s usually free parking on side streets off Pekini, but check for resident-only zones. At check-in, politely ask for a top-floor courtyard room; they’re often the last to go and save you earplugs.
- 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 banks like TBC or Bank of Georgia for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux in tourist areas and the airport, which give poor rates.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants and hotels; smaller cafés and markets prefer cash or QR payments via local bank apps.
Not mandatory, but 10% is appreciated in restaurants for good service; rounding up taxi fares is common; small tips for hotel staff appreciated.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Filter coffee from a local bakery or hole-in-the-wall cafe — roughly 3-4 GEL.
Khachapuri or a filled lavash from a street bakery — roughly 8-12 GEL.
A main course of mtsvadi (grilled meat) or khinkali at a neighbourhood diner — about 15-20 GEL.
Look for stalls selling khachapuri, khinkali, or grilled corn along Rustaveli Avenue and near the Dry Bridge market.
Budget supermarket chains include Spar, Nicholas, and local minimarkets; Carrefour is also common for basics.
The Dry Bridge market is good for second-hand and vintage finds; affordable chain stores like LC Waikiki are on Rustaveli Avenue.
The cheapest way around is the metro (1 GEL per ride with a rechargeable card) or marshrutka (0.80-1 GEL). From the airport, take bus 337 to Freedom Square (1 GEL).
Drink tap water (safe in Tbilisi). Buy fresh produce at the Dezerter Bazaar rather than supermarkets. Use metro and marshrutka locally — avoid taxis unless using Bolt or Yandex, not street hails.

Avlabari Station (300m from Hotel Nice) → Station Square (central hub)

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.

💡 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.
