What a stay costs
Prices change by date and room. The booking site shows the total for your dates before you pay; check whether it includes taxes and local fees.
Mountain views from the rooms
Three of the four room types face the mountains, with direct views of the Caucasus range and local landmarks. The Double or Twin Room with Terrace is the largest at 28 m² and has its own private terrace alongside a balcony — the most space of any option here.
Balconies on multiple room types
The Double or Twin Room with Mountain View and the Standard Double or Twin Room with Balcony both have balconies with mountain and landmark views. They're compact at 24 m² and 23 m² respectively, but the outdoor space compensates.
Free parking on site
The hotel has free on-site parking, which matters in a town where many guests arrive by car from Tbilisi. There's no meter running and no daily fee to calculate into your budget.
