Qarvasla Hotel

Beautiful historic building right in the heart of Old Tbilisi. Rooms are gorgeous and comfortable.

A little loud from music at nearby restaurants, but it did quiet down around 11pm (this was on a Wednesday)

Excellent hotel right in the middle of Old Town - perfect for exploring the city. Amazing views from our room (Panoramic suite). Wonderful historic building superbly converted to a hotel. Excellent breakfast with something to suite everyone and cooked to order options too (waffles were amazing). Lovely restaurant with good quality live music. Great value too.

At times I felt the staff were a bit inattentive but maybe this is the Georgian style as it was similar in a lot of places we visited around the city.

This was my fourth stay at Qarvasla Hotel, and it only deepened my conviction that this is the finest hotel in Tbilisi. I live in the city and had just come through an incredibly stressful week — and the moment I walked in and saw Mariami and Demetre, I felt like I could finally breathe, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. That alone says everything about the kind of place Qarvasla is. Mariami has a genuine smile that lights up the entire room. She's a true superstar with a very promising future in hospitality — my prediction is that she'll be running a hotel of her own sooner rather than later. Demetre, one of the bellboys, is a respectful, helpful, and genuinely intelligent young man. We've had several conversations about Georgian history, among other subjects, and I always come away the richer for them. During this stay I also had the pleasure of speaking with several other members of the team. Lali, the manager, is every bit as kind and welcoming as her staff. Erekle, the supervisor, is consummately professional and takes real pride in giving guests the ultimate hospitality experience. Alan and Tsotne were both wonderfully helpful and share a great sense of humor. Shota, too, was professional and attentive, and rounds out a team that clearly takes pride in looking after its guests. Even the housekeeping staff are warm and friendly, greeting me with a smile every single time I came and went. Having stayed in at least a dozen hotels in Tbilisi — including some of the most reputable — I can say without hesitation that Qarvasla is head and shoulders above them all. If only I could live here! 😊

The location was good - in the centre of the old town. The room was fairly large and clean. The towels had some unusual smell. My room was strangely planned but it did not create much of a discomfort. The gentleman at reception was helpful. The breakfast was good but the location of the breakfast (in the basement) was not ideal from my pov. It was a good stay all in all.

My room was quite dark. The bathroom was a bit strange - I had to make my way to the bathroom through some narrow passage. I did not like the towels.
