Guesthouses in Sololaki and the Old Town offer the best-value budget rooms in Tbilisi, with great character and location.
Read the full guide
Tbilisi is excellent value, and family-run guesthouses often beat hotels on both price and warmth. Restored buildings in Sololaki host characterful guesthouses with balconies and friendly hosts, while simple family-run hotels in the Old Town put the sulphur baths and wine bars on your doorstep. Budget hotels around Marjanishvili are convenient for the metro and the left-bank dining scene, and guesthouses in Avlabari offer quiet stays near Holy Trinity Cathedral with easy access to the centre. The leafy Vera district also has small, affordable hotels close to cafes and Fabrika. For the best deals, book ahead in summer, choose guesthouses over hotels, travel in shoulder season, and pay in Lari to avoid poor exchange markups. Short-term apartments are another strong budget option.
