7.8/10

The hotel offers breathtaking views of Tbilisi from the rooms, especially from the balcony, which was a real highlight for me. The service was mostly smooth, with the management being responsive and accommodating, although a few staff members seemed a bit grumpy at times. The location on a steep hill means it's a bit of a workout to reach, but it's very close to the downtown area. The dining experience was lovely, with a great selection of local dishes, although the breakfast could use a bit more freshness. Overall, a great stay with some minor inconveniences.

Our stay at this hotel was a delightful mix of experiences. The breathtaking views from the balcony were truly unforgettable, and the historic charm of the building added to its appeal. However, the breakfast left something to be desired, as the quality seemed to falter, and the service during mealtimes was slow. While the unique onsite museum was a fascinating addition, the overall maintenance of the hotel indicated it could use a bit of care and attention to detail.
