The house is quite low-ceilinged – you can't even fully straighten up in the shower – and the room space is cramped. On top of that, Georgia has been experiencing a heatwave recently. Despite all this, I'd still prefer to stay there if possible, thanks to the two incredibly touching auntie administrators.

The two elderly people are very friendly.

the bathroom/shower

staff is great

Stayed in April 2025

Staff were amazing, woman who greeted us was very welcoming, helpful, offered us towels, made sure we had everything when we left - she was great. Sleeping was very tidy, albeit small, but kept in good condition. Bedding all very clean. Personal locker. Sockets at the bed. For the price you pay it is very good, don't expect luxury because you're not paying for it. We didn't use the kitchen, so cannot comment.

Great location, and friendly hosts. A place where you can cook, shower, and have internet. They let me try their homemade soup, and have me bread. I recommend for the hospitality!

Wifi don’t work, it’s a very old building

Good location

The photos are not representative of the vibe. It’s being kinda taken over by El Hostel (not a nice energy don’t support them).

It’s a good price and the hosts are really lovely and friendly. It’s a good place if you just need to sleep - definitely the best budget option for Tbilisi

I assume there were bedbugs. Had multiple bites in the next morning.

The owner was such a sweetheart. She tried hard to make you having a good time.

Rather hot in the hostel. Window screens for bugs and a fan would be excellent.

Friendly, helpful, hospitable staff, perfect location for access to everything

The whole building is clearly very very old, the shower is in the same room as the toilet, which is very very tiny and only around 1.8m high. Any bigger person will have a very tough time having a shower. Not the most comfortable place overall, but for me it was ok, since I stayed for 3 nights and was visiting the entire day, and eating out, not cooking.

Staff is very nice and helpful, the price is super cheap and the location is very very central, walking distance to everything. The common space outside is very nice in order to work or just hang out with other people, although without it there is nowhere to work or even sit down (in winter for example)

I liked the owners of the hostel. I was glad to communicate with them and I felt their care. It was very interesting talking to them. I thank them for their company and for their attention and care. I wish them success and hope to see again!

It's just very old and run down but don't judge this book by its cover.

Such a friendly hostel and in a splendid location just off Rustaveli very close to the Metro station. Although the shower room is tiny the shower itself is extremely good with reliably hot water. Small but adequate kitchen. Nice warm dorm.

the facilities are a bit old. the staff!

The hostel is close to all city spots

It's basic but I like the down to earth aspect. Shower room is tiny but it works.

Excellent location. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. Warm in winter. Kitchen.

Fabulous location a minute or two from Rustaveli metro station. Really friendly and helpful people running the place.

Smoking area next to the room, often loud from.

Friendly staff, not crowded kitchen and bathroom because of not many beds.

Stayed in October 2022

the bathroom is not lean the kitchen is too small In general, better attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene

The location is really good

Bedbugs in the beds. Poor infrastructure.

The location was really good. The staff was really warm.

It hurts to give this place a low rating, however I cannot ignore that there were bugs and we all woke up with bites and itching red skin. This is not acceptable.

The manager was SO sweet and helpful. She really made us feel safe and welcome!

Bedbugs I didn’t sleep the whole night

Stayed in August 2025

Bed bugs. Seems that it's a common problem among budget hostels and they just bury those reviews with fake 10s

Stuff is super friendly

Stayed in August 2025

I really liked two sweet Georgian ladies. They were so welcoming ☺️ they even gave us some Russian chocolate hahah. Honestly it was so worth of money. Although the property is run out, it's authentic, clean and tidy. 3$ right in the city center and with the A/C on at night, I don't know why people are still complaining hmmmmmm.... Ladies even provided us clean bed sheet and towel ☺️☺️ they made sure the guests are comfortable

I booked weeks in advance and upon the arrival at 8PM I was told that there are no free beds anymore... However, I was proposed an alternative hostel just next door (at the same place) and had to pay 2 lari more and there was no warm water even (the bathroom and common area seemed to be shared between the 2 places).
