Reviews of Gurami Guest House 1

The owner was very nice and helpful!

Located basically in the center of Batumi, Gurami Guest house is within easy walking distance to the Black Sea, shops, restaurants, and other sites. Just so you know, it's not a "hotel". It's a guest house, so the owner lives and works there as well. It's an older maison that's been converted into rooms, so they have the feel of a bedroom to it. There's a terrace on the third floor where you can relax, wash your clothes, and there's a communal kitchen if you want to cook, or heat something up. There's no breakfast with the price, but there's plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area. The owner also has a rather large dog. He's super friendly and doesn't bark. So be prepared to feel like you're staying in someone's house.

You have to sort of figure out where the Guest House is when you first arrive. The signs aren't all that clear. But the locals who live in the dead-end street seem used to this, so if they see you're looking for something, tell them "Gurami" and they'll point you in the right direction. Owner doesn't speak all that good English. Russian and Georgian, but that's really not that much of a complaint.

Great place in the city center. Comfortable area for preparing breakfast.

Location was good. The owner seemed pleasant, although he spoke no English.

It was impossible for us to get a good night sleep here. The mosquitoes were entering the room trough the hole on the wall that was made for the air conditioning. We have killed 13 mosquitoes and we were still full of bites on our hands and faces in the morning. The 'private' bathroom that we had was extremely dirty. It was not connected to the room and used by everyone. The beds were uncomfortable and every movement made a loud noise. The bedsheets had holes in them. The stay was really noisy: the sounds from inside of the house while opening the doors and the sounds of the street were loud as if there were no walls.

Great place! Nice terrace

Clean, good location

Room and bathroom clean

There is no sign indicating the location. It's basically someone renting rooms in their house. There is no bell to ring, you basically have to walk into someone's house one floor up (into a living room) with no indication that you're at the right place.

Warm welcome,good hospitality,clean bad and good location

Everything was good.

Great location. Clean. Cable car 2 minutes walk. Other attractions also at walking distance. Nice big common open space as balcony. Basic kitchen with big fridge, gas and microwave. Basic spices needs to be replenished. On Ist floor, owner resides and accomodation is at second floor. No lift. Grocery store etc across the road. Owner has a bulldog but quite one.

We had a wonderful stay at the Gurami guesthouse! It's wonderfuly located in the city center of Batumi. Most of all we enjoyed the familiar atmosphere in the guesthouse. The owner takes really good care of his guests!

Gurami is an outstanding and very helpful host. The guesthouse provides the opportunity to meet other guests in the kitchen or at the terrace. Free washing machine use, umbrellas, and so on.

In comparison with the rest of the are it's rather quiet. Still it can be lively and noisy. The most annoying are the room doors, which are almost impossible to open/close without making a slamming noise.
