If you decide to start in Georgia from Tbilisi, think about a place where the spirit of old Tbilisi is alive, from where you can get to the legendary Metekhi, the green-yellow waters of the Kura or the new Lavra - Tsminda Sameba. However, from the Avlabari quarter of artisans and merchants, it is not far from the famous Baratashvili bridge with its funny bronze characters, which leads directly to Shota Rustaveli Avenue (a kind of Khreshchatyk of the Georgian capital) ...Yes, and the famous sulfur baths are also close, which means this and there is the right location for those who want a homely atmosphere, good breakfasts, pleasant and hearty dinners, with a delightful view of the city as a bonus! And to Mtatsminda, and to the mountain ranges in the distance, and to the narrow old streets, where vines weave in the courtyards of houses, grapes ripen, and tubs with flowers stand on the terraces.
The Irmeni / Irmeni hotel itself looks something like this, a couple of minutes from the station.
metro Avlabari (by the way, travel in the Tbilisi subway - 40 tetri, or ~ 2 UAH).
I liked the room in the attic - from there a view of Tsminda Sameba, just one march to the terrace, where you can drink tea with a view of the lilac sunset or in the morning catch a city shrouded in foggy haze through the viewfinder.
There are few rooms in the hotel (somewhere around 40), they are well equipped, there are corners where you can sit with a laptop (wi-fi works well in places of rest or a restaurant).
Alas, not all rooms have a wonderful panorama, and the remnants of tobacco smoke in the rooms are somewhat embarrassing ...But I would like to hope that they will already sort it out by your arrival.
Dinners at the hotel are so plentiful that they threaten the waist, but house wine (a bonus from the hotel) dissolves all the extra calories.
They say that the wine cellar restaurant at the hotel bakes delicious bread and cakes, but we had enough walks in the dukhans of Tbilisi and we dined at the hotel only once.
But for breakfast there was always homemade cheese, delicious jam and a couple of times Adjarian baklava, which I still remember, swallowing my saliva.
Separate Ah! the gardener of the hotel deserved it, arranging real gardens from the terraces - oleanders and ficuses in flowerpots, an impeccable mini-lawn and easy passages entwined with blooming wisteria and unchanging vines.
From the advice of experienced: it is better to take rooms on the 2nd-3rd floor - in the lower ones it is gloomy and damp.
The sulfur baths are about 10 minutes on foot, but you can return exhausted from the foam and massage by taxi - for 5 GEL (~ 25 UAH).
If you need a hairdryer, a heater, an air freshener or an extra blanket in your room, do not be too lazy to repeat your request to the administrator three times and with a fair amount of perseverance (but without raising your voice) - then they will surely hear it. But in general, guests are welcome in Georgia, they are sensitive to their requests, and the status of a dear guest is guaranteed to you if you return again. Georgia is worth it!
