Old Town

Looks like the guest house is quite recent, or well kept, or rarely used, it’s clean & fresh. There’s table, chairs, kettle & fridge in the room. I think there are 4 rooms, my room is on upper floor with big balcony, very bright & airy. It's actually 2 buildings with a courtyard in between. They let me deposit my luggage early in the morning. The bathroom without any shower partition is manageable, not flooded. Everything is nice for a short stay.

The kitchen doesn’t look like the photo, it’s more messy & mainly used by the owner's family. The bed sinks in the middle

Perfect spot in the old town, close to the market, the center and attractions. The host was kind and helpful.

The wifi was not stable.

Very friendly and helpful. Clean neat rooms

The location was central, and we could walk to all the tourist sights, which was great. The room was spacious with a balcony and lots of natural light. We were provided towels and toiletries. The toilet even has a jet spray, which is a great advantage. The host is truly lovely, we arrived early and even though she was just prepping our room she allowed us to go leave our bags there.

However, I am extremely surprised by the ratings and reviews. Georgia in general has definitely baffled me on this. Firstly, due to no fault of their own there was no electricity until 6:30pm in the city and so the house had no power. We returned from sightseeing to a dark room and weren't even offered a candle. Ultimately, we had to go down and request one. One would expect a business to have a generator to provide some basic lights in the house when this happens, but nope, that wasn't the case at Old Town. Given the circumstance, it would have been nice to get a discount on the room rent on account of this, but sadly we weren't offered the option. We paid for a service and experience that wasn't 100% provided, it would have been nice to have a discount Secondly, please know this is a guest house, (Airbnb) which means they let out 2 main bedrooms from their home. The living room & reception were the same and the family sits and relaxes there during the day as one would in their home. We could hear them chit-chat, the TV sounds and all the cooking that was going on in the house. Our room was filled with the smell of the cooking. It felt like we were in their space, which we weren't expecting. The TV was on until quite late at night, and so we could hear it all the way.
