Garden Studio, Old Tbilisi

I stayed at Thomas Guest House during my trip to Tbilisi, and it turned out to be one of the most comforting and memorable parts of my journey. The guest house is in Avlabari an old and beautiful district with narrow streets, traditional houses, and an authentic local atmosphere. Everything you might want to see is close by the old town, the metro, and small bakeries where you can get fresh khachapuri in the morning. The room was spacious, bright, and extremely clean. The bed was comfortable, and the decor felt warm and personal, not like a typical guest house. I could see that everything was prepared with care, from the clean sheets and towels to the little details like fresh flowers, slippers, toothpaste, and even a kettle for tea. I honestly didn’t expect so many thoughtful touches for such an affordable price. It felt safe, cozy, and quiet, exactly what I needed after a long day exploring the city. What truly made my stay special was the host. She is a lovely lady kind, attentive, and always ready to help. From the moment I arrived, she treated me not just as a guest, but as a friend. She helped me find my way around, arranged a taxi when I needed it, and even offered homemade tea and sweets in the evening. In the morning, when I was preparing for a long flight, she had baked traditional Georgian lobiani and kindly brought me a piece with tea such a warm, thoughtful gesture that made me feel completely at home. My experience was completely positive great value, perfect location, spotless rooms, and genuine Georgian hospitality. I would absolutely recommend Thomas Guest House to anyone whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family. It’s a peaceful, cozy place with real Georgian warmth. I’ll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Tbilisi.

Maybe just that I couldn’t stay longer!

The location is great - near metro station, shops and restaurants are just a few steps away. Old town is also not far and you can go walking from this place. They provide towels and toiletries. The place was spotless clean. Wifi worked well. Host is very kind and check-in and check-out were easy and flexible.

Something small that would help guests to find the place is adding a sign outside of the house.

住了六天，厨房好用（锅很旧是另外说），房间干净，房子位置好，但是⋯⋯

刚入住时有异味。 厕所问题：水稍微一往右扭，就立刻变成冷水，只能稳定保持在一个偏烫的温度，且在洗澡过程中会变成冷水，并再次加热好几次，苦不堪言。 那我们为什么不反馈这件事呢？以下为缘由： 入住第一天，房主信誓旦旦地告诉我们，有什么需求就找她，并特地问了我们需不需要熨烫机？我们回答需要。 下午，我们联系她要额外的衣架，厨房刀和洗衣液，当天没有得到回复。 第二天，她告诉我们，不提供厨房刀，没有任何解释，并无视其他两项要求。包括她自己提出的熨烫斗，也没有提供。 同时，她无视我们需要空调遥控器的请求。 当我们决定续订的时候（因为位置好），则能立刻收到回复：什么时候交费？ 我们入住第三个晚上，实在冷得受不了，早上，我们问她有没有厚被子。中午，她提着自己的电热毯包装袋来到我们房里，停留一小时之久，只为了解释她已提供了所有的服务，如果我们需要电热毯，需要额外支付50拉里（作为代购费用）。 也就是说，她知道自己的客人会冷，在这段未有暖气提供的时间里，仍不提供任何额外保暖措施。接下来的几天，我们都盖着衣服睡觉。 （房间只有在中午时有一点光照在厨房桌子和地面上。） 对面邻居的院子里养了两条狗，每晚都会冲路过的人叫（包括我们）。每晚和每早都会听到狗叫声。 退租当天，一个老头在我们的窗前假装给植物浇水，实际在观测我们是否准备离开（当天下过雨，而且那是一堆无人打理的植物）。 临走，房东喊住我们，因为我们拿走了她装吹风机的普通购物纸袋。 另外，吹风机也是需要跟她要的，并不像正常旅馆一样放在屋里。 总之，地理位置好，带厨房（如果不是因为这两项，我们是不会订这间房的）。但要得到旅馆般的服务，是没有的。我们所有需求里，最终得到的东西只有吹风机、廉价清洁用具两套（订了六天只给一天的量）和我们主动要的纸巾。

位置方便，卫生好。从布置能感受到是想好好经营的。

床垫较差。有厨房但不提供菜刀。院子草木过多导致蚊虫苍蝇多。空调和电视不能使用。员工沟通不够直接，导致体验下降。淋浴热水不稳定。初秋无暖气，没有厚被子。没有床头灯。希望房东可以多点松弛感，需要额外收费或无法提供的物品可以直接告知客人，提升用户体验。
