The best accommodations Georgia

Budget & Tips

Be careful in high tourist season, the prices of hotels of all categories double or even triple, depending on the law of supply and demand. Some of the prices charged are then very overpriced and hotel services are very uncertain.

The hotel park of Georgia is equipped with a wide range of establishments, of all categories, from the simple family pension sometimes very basic, where you will share your daily life with the families (shared bathroom, kitchen and dining room), to hostels, guest houses, small hotels, boutique-hotels, more luxurious establishments of higher category, up to the big international chains established in Tbilisi, Batoumi and other tourist cities. In the low season, these chains can offer extremely attractive rates.

Generally speaking, Georgia is a cheap destination if you opt for accommodation in a family guesthouse. Georgia's economy being what it is, many Georgian families open a guest house. The hotel offer is therefore exponential, and the increasingly stiff competition is pushing the level of service, which is sometimes still uncertain, upwards. Beware, in Georgia, thanks to flexible legislation in this sector, it is as easy to open a family pension or guest house as it is to close it. Always check whether it is still in operation when planning your trip.

It should be taken into account that accommodation in Tbilisi is more expensive than in the rest of the country

The hotel park has a very wide range of establishments of all categories, including guest houses in Tbilisi.

The boarding houses are located in a private house. In a private home, it is the best way to meet and see Georgians in their daily life! The rooms are generally without bathroom. Sometimes a private room or a dormitory bed is offered.

Budget between 30 GEL for a dormitory bed or single room and 60 GEL for a double. Breakfast is included or not. If it is not, you must add from 5 to 15 GEL in addition. The comfort is basic but very correct, the rooms are clean, you will really feel like sharing a slice of Georgian life! You will be able, in some houses, to share meals with the family and taste the local home-made cuisine.

Similar to guesthouses, hostels have dormitories, sometimes private rooms, with shared bathrooms and kitchen. Count 30 GELs per person. You will mainly meet other backpackers, these establishments also offer excursions, transport to other cities..

The guest houses (they can also be pensions using the same term). They correspond more to the classic establishments of this category, with very moderate prices, which can be found around the world. They have a less "intimate" side than guesthouses, with one area for the family and another for the clientele.

Small hotels offer rooms with private bathroom at starting rates between 100 and 150 GEL with breakfast included. Small hotels, guesthouses, guest houses and boutique hotels abound in Tbilisi

Boutique-hotels are middle-class establishments with a focus on warm decor, comfort and good quality of service. They can take care of organising excursions, booking a car with driver, etc. Breakfast is included. Double rooms with bathroom and breakfast from 250 GEL (prices are indicative, depending on the number of guests and the season).

Hotels of superior category and international standard are clustered mainly in Tbilisi and Batumi. In view of Georgia's tourism boom, the Georgian hotel base is growing rapidly.

To be booked

In high season, accommodation rates double, so it is advisable to book your hotel as far in advance as possible to get the best rates, especially if you plan to go to Georgia in July or August, or in February for skiing.
