Where to stay in Akhaltsikhe

Its probably the best place in the city but hopefully better options come up. Rooms are neat but cramped making it hard to unpack and move around especially if you are an international traveller with bigger bags. Staff is pleasant but service is minimal. Breakfast arrangements are very basic with no tags in front of items making it difficult for those with dietary constraints.

The hotel is clean and the beds are comfortable. But the rooms are so small, hardly room too open a suitcase. The pool is used by school kids for swimming lessons and there was no breakfast cereal.

Nice hotel, but needs renovation, overhead shower broken, AC is not individual for rooms and I could not swithch on the cool option. The boys and girls that work there are the best and that's why I give hotel 4* instead of 3*

It was a nice experience. The hotel room was comfortable. I had a nice time swimming in the pool as well. The food was delicious too.

Lovely hotel, friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed the swimming pool and sauna Good breakfast

I haven't written a review for some time but feel it is necessary after tonight's dining experience at this hotel. Given that there are almost no other alternatives for dinner here in Akhaltsikhe we dined in house . Our dinner order was Georgian salad with walnuts - ok but not the best we have had in the past 16 days, Georgian style potato ok basically thick cut potatoes fried in oil. BUT the huge...

As with many hotel rooms they are well laid out and offer tea and coffee. However like many rooms when set up for twin beds that is where they become awkward. In order to separate the beds you have to rearrange the furniture. This also reduces the available space.

Rooms are tired, double glazed windows didn't close properly and a tourist hotel for large tour groups. Only one lift to cover three floors with queues at check-out. Breakfast area is a complete zoo in the morning due to a very small area where the food is laid out...also very limited. Location is a 10 minute walk to old town and did see a nice hotel set in the castle grounds.

Very clean rooms with satisfactory beds. Coffee / Tea making facilities. Very small tv but didn't need it anyway. The downstairs restaurant was excellent and very reasonably priced. Service was very good

The hotel itself is centrally located. Service and breakfast are excellent. What's exceptional is their kind staff, particular their director Mr. Amiran, front desk staff, and housekeeping. I stayed for only one night a couple weeks ago and stupidly left my wedding ring in my room. They have recovered my ring, kept it safe, and took the trouble to coordinate with me the sending of the ring through...

Outside noise from air conditioners and generator all night long... :(

My family and I visited in August and stayed for one night included with breakfast. The rooms were relatively clean and spacious. The breakfast was nice and there was an option to order coffee at the bar

The hotel offers a very unique experience within a castle setting. The rooms are like those in a guesthouse in China, but clean and hygienic. The hotel's spa is also fantastic! 👍

The hotel is housed in a beautiful old 9th-century castle, making it quite unique. Both the exterior and interior feature a unique combination of architectural details found only in Georgia. If you have a beautiful hotel, at least make sure you receive a warm and welcoming reception. The man who greeted us, sitting disinterestedly behind a reception desk, only uttered one word: "passports." Not "good...

The room was excellent. There's also a gym, and the breakfast was plentiful. Staying inside the castle is great value for money. The room wasn't particularly large, but the facilities were complete. Highly recommended.

Staying at this hotel inside a historic fortress ( recently reconstraucted) was a truly memorable experience. The setting is absolutely unique — surrounded by ancient walls, with stunning views of the old city of Akhaltsikhe (Rabati) . At night, the atmosphere is incredibly calm and serene, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. During the day, the fortress attracts many tourists, so it can...

Quirky hotel built inside a restored castle. The castle is open to the public during the day and is linked to the town museum, but at night it takes on a different atmosphere. There is an onsite restaurant belong to the hotel (Good) and another in the courtyard which is not (Poor) Close to town so not a problem. Did not use the spa facilities, but reports are good. Rooms are basic but clean, something...

It's located within a castle, in a prime location. Otherwise, it's just average. It's worth the price.

First of all I have been staying in hotels for years I have never seen such warm and clean friendly people in Diyarbakir due to my job I really thank the staff who own the hotel enormously wish to continue their success

Large hotel, fairly clean, but in an rather old building (minor bathroom failures removed on request). In the fridge room, beds quite comfortable, there is wifi, you can comfortably sit in the lobby. However, there is no open bar / restaurant (but there is a huge wedding hall). Tasty breakfast, prepared on time especially for us (we were the only guests). Zonk - I had an online reservation for a 4...

Thank you for the very warm welcome. Clean rooms, delicious breakfast.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very nice host and very tidy rooms. Breakfast was very nice and good value for money. It is in a good central location, just outside the castle!

We stayed just one night, but everything about this place was wonderful. We arrived late with no booking, and Margharita welcomed us warmly and showed us available rooms right away. The atmosphere was cozy, and the room was very comfortable. After two weeks of travel, this was the best shower and bed we experienced. Despite being next to the main road, it was perfectly quiet—we slept like babies. The...

We drove from Gori to Akhaltsikhe staying a couple of nights. We stopped at one hotel but they were booked out. The owner went up a couple of houses and asked that hotel if they were able to accommodate us. They said yes so we checked in. It was the Lotus Hotel! We checked out the rooms first and the tarrif.. The rooms were very clean and neat and the price was within our budget! Very comfortable accommodation...

VERY CLEAN! This place is located at an excellent spot. Especially if you want to see the old city and Rabat Castle. Even during the evenings you can see the castle from the porch with beautiful lighting effects. The space is airy. Rooms are pretty large, each with ensuite bathroom! Rooms are clean and tidy. The staff is LOVELY! The breakfast consists of various meals! Everyone can find something...

This is the best hotel we have stayed in during our two week trip to Georgia. Everything is spotlessly clean and tidy. The hosts are friendly. Breakfast is good. Located in a very good area within walking distance of the main attractions of the city. There are excellent restaurants nearby. Recommended!

Really nice place. Cozy, clean rooms, homelike atmosphere. Good social place. Great price to quality comparison.

Very nice hotel to stay,friendly host and very cozy ambiance. comfortable location.healthy and tasty food. I recommend this hotel.

Very friendly host and very cozy ambiance. The location is the center of the city. Because of these reasons, I recommend this hotel. During summer, a lot of tourist enjoy this hotel. Then you may not be able to express your preference regarding room. But I recommend a room with balcony.

This comfortable hotel located very quiet place which is close to center. Hotel has inside yard which is green with trees and flowers. You can seat public terrace also there are some rooms which have privet balcony. Kitchen is very modern where you can cooking or drink coffee or tea. Host is very friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend!

I highly recommend booking rooms here. A magnificent view of the Rabati fortress, combined with the hospitality of the hosts, creates exactly the atmosphere for which you will go on a trip. I would especially like to note the cleanliness of the rooms and the delicious breakfast.

Wow, I can't help but gush about this amazing hotel experience! The owners are the sweetest people I've ever met. We had a delightful chat over breakfast, and the hostess set the table with so much love and care. The hotel owner went above and beyond, giving us fantastic tips on the best route to take and the must-see attractions along the way. As for the room, it was incredibly bright and warm, creating...

Stayed here for one night. Good location, walking distance from the Rabat castle and a view of it from the parking lot. Probably the best place to take pics of the castle from !! Plenty of space for car parking. Good restaurants in walking distance. Room and bathroom were clean. The homemade breakfast is plenty full and flavorsome. The host and staff were helpful and friendly. Well priced , a good...

Excellent guesthouse. Very good breakfast. The rooms are kept at the perfect temperature. They are very nice and provide you with whatever you need, and the wifi is pretty good, enough for watching videos.

Very nice place with an incredible view on the fortress. Their prices are lower than comparable properties in the region. Rooms are big and the bathroom has all the good amenities needed. The breakfast is really good with excellent eggs and buns.

Nice place to stay for the view. Very close to the castle (concider that the entrance nearby works only as an exit, so you need to go a bit furher to get in) Breakfast was good. Kitchen in the room doesnot have any appliances except the tea pot and fridge, so it makes it a bit useless. But you can always can try to ask for cups or the knife i am sure. The room with the view can easily fit in 4-5 persons...

Clean, comfortable, good service, kind staff

The owners are very friendly and the rooms are very nice, clean and modern. The process are not bad and breakfast was included

Nice people, grate hospitality, 2-3 kilometers from Rabath Castle. Welcome to Georgia :) ....

Excellent service, good food, very clean accomodation in a best location. Including Mr. Levan (GM) and staff were amazing. Definitely recommend to any tourist to stay in his hotel. We stayed for 2-nights and we were amazed by this experience.

This hotel is very modern, comfortable and efficient. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their restaurant can boast high quality food and unforgettable taste of the dishes.

Superb hospitality! A family own hotel which made us feel like home. It was so welcoming! Spotlessly clean, the common area and we stayed two nights in two different rooms (both had the views of the castle while house had only three rooms, so it was simple and quiet there), there was not an inch that wasn’t clean. The common area had coffee, tea, a machine for hot and cold water, glasses, cups and...

I highly recommend a stay at Hotel Julia. We were made to feel incredibly welcome right from the start, and the hosts are the kindest people I have ever met. We received a wonderful welcome, which immediately made us feel at home. ​The hotel is exceptionally clean, which you can see in every corner. A big plus is also the free access to water, coffee, and tea, which you can enjoy at any time. The location...

If you’re lucky enough to find this hotel available—book it immediately! We were absolutely delighted with our stay. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and perfectly hand-ironed linens (where else do you find that these days?). Breakfast was delicious, beautifully presented, and throughout the day there was always coffee, tea, and tasty sweets available. But the true...

Very nice family run guesthouse. Clean and comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast. Hosts very hospitable. Recommended.

We had the most amazing time — it was our favourite stay during our trip through Georgia! The rooms were cozy and spotless clean, and the hotel is located in a great neighborhood with plenty of restaurants nearby. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The hosts are the loveliest and most helpful people — always attentive, caring, and ready to help with anything. Thank you so much for having us!

We stayed in this place two days ago and now we can understand why it has such excellent ratings. The hosts are exceptionally kind and generous people, and their hospitality was truly heartwarming. They made us feel like part of their family. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and warm, with incredibly comfortable beds – we slept wonderfully. The view to the castle is majestic and the breakfast...

Simple place, but the owner truly makes you feel like a welcome guest. And the breakfast was really worth it.

Affordable and cosy stay near the castle with lots of coffee shop and restaurant nearby. Room is simple but clean and quiet. Room is on the 1st floor so you might need help from the host to carry your luggages on. Hosts, husband and wife, are beautiful people, very nice and supportive, typical Georgian ;)

A great small and very friendly clean hotel. Perfect for motorcycles travelers as was I when I visited this place. David and Diana are extremely friendly and helpful hosts/owners of this very nice place. Diana also has a brilliant bakery/coffee shop below the hotel where they offered me great coffee and pastries on arrival. Highly recommend this hotel!

Very nice hotel for a good prize. The Owners are helpful. Depends on the room you van have panoramic viev on castle or whole city. The shower do not have curtain but its not a problem if u know how to not get everything wet.

Amazing hotel with the best view to castle, clean, price quality on the top! Definitely suggest to stay at this hotel, if you at Akhaltsikhe. Special thanks to David, who is owner and manager for the best welcoming and friendly hospitality. Additionally, thank you to David’s wife for the best Khachapuri 😊

very close to the castle and a delicious Georgian restaurant room clean, bathroom small but sufficient, it was very nice, we got a bottle of house wine. I recommend it, for the price you will definitely not find anything better

Nicest place of two lovely owners, who were very attentive and friendly. We didn't expect they would include the breakfast, that was a healthy breakfast I must say. I will never forget them. Next time I will definitely stay there, as we felt super secure and comfy there.

Absolutely lovely. Very nice and welcoming owners. Fantastic breakfast. Shame we only stayed one night.

Nice Breakfast and nice owner. Good for a Trip to the Castle.

Not up to American standards, but this was a very adequate place to stay at a very reasinable price. I would stay there again.

very kind people, very good hotel .. would stay there again:)

We are a family of five and we got a huge room with private bathroom. The room was clean and breakfast wad very good.

very peacefull place. great people and amazing service.

Beautiful environment, high quality service, delicious food 💛👌👍

We stayed here for a program. The rooms are clean. The TV was broken (not that we wanted to watch anything) the food was delicious. The manager lady near the rooms is really friendly. There's a big ballroom for at least 250 guests. Some rooms have balconies and bigger bathrooms.

This Hotel and Restaurant are conveniently located off the main road with plenty of parking. Rooms are clean and good sized. A great place to host a special occasion, perfect for that very large wedding! The Khinkali are made fresh and are worth the mouth watering wait. My favorite for sure. And don't forget the local wed wine.

Very nice place with very good food and drinks for a low price. What's more, we were really surprised with the present from the host: when we realised we are the last at the restaurant, he played the guitar and sang several songs himself for us. A very good place especially for the New year holiday!

This is the best Georgian food I have ever had! The food is fresh, big portion, not too salty, and rich in flavor. The hosts are super kind to us. We ate there everyday during our trip to Akhaltsikhe.

Kesane as a restaurant is a true gem. The atmosphere is cozy, and the food is great, especially "Old rabati" dish. What made the evening truly special was the owner’s outstanding generosity. After a wonderful meal, Zurab treated us to complimentary house-made plum chacha! His kindness, combined with the amazing food made "our day"! Highly recommend!

The owners were so kind and provided us not only with hot and delicious vegan food but also with a place to hangout for a while, leave our bags while we visit the castle etc. We opted for pretty much all the vegan items on the menu (not declared but still easy to find), the bean pot and the mashed potatoes were a tad bit too salty for my taste but still delish. The veggie plate was very tasty as well...

Fantastic owners and atmosphere. We stayed three just for one night. Room was clean, maybe standard isn't high but for us was enough. Food was delicious and portions where realny huge. We spent there fantastic evening with other guests and owner who played on guitar and sang not only georgian songs. I will reccomend it for all people who want to see what does it mean georgian hospitality.

Xato is a caring lady. They have relatives diagonally across the road at Old Rabati, also lovely people. Mary is a sweet person too. (Just a quick mention, next door Minimo, Armenian courtyard restaurant, Angelika & her brother, lovely friendly people too). Xota's son Gabriel is an exceptionally talented acoustic guitarist (his dad Zura can also strum, another nice dude). We had a kicking couple of...

As other reviews attest, this guesthouse is lovely and very good value. It is located right below the Rabati castle, and opposite several very nice restaurants. The room was very cosy and the bed comfortable. While the bathroom was not private, it was very close and clean so felt very private as well. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. They were also very helpful in arranging...

Perfect location and lovely guest house! Room and bathroom were clean, the host was hospitable and kind, and the breakfast space at the garden was gorgeous! Highly recommend if you need a place to stay. Fortress is only a minutes or two walk to the stairs for entry (or further up the hill) and Vardiza is under an hour and a half away. I did spend a little extra for the private bathroom and larger bed...

Super cute and cozy guesthouse. Perfect location next to the castle and the marshrutka station. Delicious breakfast for a great cost. Very accommodating hosts. Thrilled with our one-night stay.

Lovely guesthouse, friendly and hospitable owners. The room was clean and cozy, the breakfast (10 lari, well worth it) was copious and delicious. The hosts helped to arrange a trip to Vardzia with a local taxi driver, Grisha, who was also quite friendly and professional. Recommended!

A lovely guesthouse. I will certainly recommend this place . It’s a very budget friendly place. Location is right at the bottom of Rabari castle. The feel of the guesthouse is very cozy. They also arrange for trips to Vardzia for 70GEL. You can get breakfast for 10GEL. It is a family run establishment. They are very sweet and helpful.

Friendly hosts, very clean and nice room. The breakfast is very tasty and huge!

Good place, good breakfast good value

Very recommend. The view, friendliness and breakfast are great.

I stayed here as a base for the surrounding area. Great location situated at the gate of the castle, great value with spacious room, great breakfast each morning and kind/friendly host. Would recommended for on the go travellers passing through.

Definitely one of the best stops in Georgia I've ever had and this time I travelled with my family. The owners were first class, as was the neighbor. It is worth taking rooms with breakfast - if you have an intensive sightseeing plan, you will not be hungry until the evening. They say that a Georgian breakfast is like a Polish dinner - it's true. I am attaching photos of the two breakfasts we had....

I have visited Rabath hotel twice. Room are clean. Near to city center and shops. It is not noisy. Our host family is very hospital and very nice people.

Nice, small and clean hotel, right at the foot of the Rabat fortress. Friendly hosts and good, delicious breakfast.

I had a truly wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and taken care of. The check-in process was smooth and quick, and my room was spotlessly clean. The location is perfect – quiet and peaceful at night. The most amazing part was the wine cellar located right in the hotel’s dining area, along with their family sausage business, which they generously...

Very good family hotel. Excellent host, always ready to help. Daily room cleaning. We also tasted the wine made by the family. I recommend it

It was the feeling that I returned well rested in grandmother's house of good heart. You were so kind, you gave me a delicious breakfast and a wine gift.

A pleasant environment for leisure

Normal hotel with friendly staff and good service.

They are frindly and good place

Nice hotel with decent rooms and a working wifi. Very clean. The breakfast is quite basic.

Friendly hotel in the town centre.

Cozy and clean !!! Excellent location.

Kola will fix you alone 🤣🤣🔪

Great shower reception master ))

Superb, provide good shoes, minimum 2 hours of visit. Attention to the security of the site not always at the top especially with children. But to see absolutely.

Very good location, spacious room and confortable beds, high speed internet and most important very welcoming owner. The breakfast was offered as well. Best quality for the price we had in Georgia so far.

Amazing hospitality. The beds are very comfortable. Free katchapuri on arrival! Fast internet. Nice and helpful staff. Called around to find bus times for some of the smaller towns. Convenient location. Also there is a nice restaurant downstairs.

Very nice and low budget hotel with bathrooms ensuite which is not common in Georgia. The owner is very friendly and inviting. There is a restaurant in the same building with pretty decent food. Good location, super close to the bus station and a short walking distance to Rabati Castle.

Excellent location and right in the centre. Despite the accommodation and the facilities were looked quite old, the hotel room was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped with clean towels, private bath, WiFi and so on. The owner could speak only little English, but was very nice. It's definitely a value for money stay.

Nice room - very clean and great beds/pillows/duvet. Good WiFi. Cheap laundry. Nice touch of a fresh khachapuri on arrival. The restaurant downstairs is cheap and very good!

During repair, despite everything, very good conditions at very low price. The owner makes uninteresting first impression, but very helpful and pleasant.
