    During the night it can be a little bit noisy. And for the bus terminal it is a little bit far away.

    Owner is really nice and helpful person. Room was also nice and clean. We have everything we need. Supermarkets super close the the hotel

    It's located on the 3rd floor of an old building. If the items are heavy, it can be difficult to lift them. I didn't see an elevator.

    Perfect cleanliness everywhere. Well-groomed, everything is lovingly organized. The best hostel I've seen.

    It would be nice if the kitchen was a little cooler.

    Very clean, staff is very nice, having a capsule room is super, very comfortable, normally I would have stayed less but I liked it so much that I postponed my plans.

    Well-equipped, clean, modern hostel. Great for a stopover if you're passing through Kutaisi. I could park my motorbike on the footpath next to the entrance with CCTV, locals also said the street was safe. Sleeping pods were comfy, I'm 1.88m and fit in the bed. For the price, you can't beat it.

    My Go-To in Kutaisi

    There are good hostels and then there are “best-in-town” hostels – the kind you always return to every time you’re in town. For me, that’s Mandaria Hostel in Kutaisi. I’ve stayed here several times and tried most room types – capsule, studio, apartment, two-bed room – and each one was comfortable and spotless. The hostel is very well managed and exceptionally clean. David, the owner, is always around and genuinely helpful. He makes sure you have what you need and is very solution-oriented. Want to stay longer or need a private room to get some work done? Just ask – he’ll find a way. Of course, he also has great tips for Kutaisi and the area. Location is great, even if it's not right in the center, especially if you arrive by bus – shops, markets, and the central bus station are all in walking distance. Youth Park is next door; I enjoyed my morning coffee there and planned for the day. Getting around is easy: the city bus stop at Youth Park takes you directly to the city centre (Colchis Fountain), and you can catch minibuses to Batumi, Tbilisi, Martvili (Canyon), and other destinations from the central station. Showers are spacious, clean, and have good water pressure. WiFi was fast and reliable; I worked remotely here without issues. David even provided a desk and office chair in my room, which was a huge plus. Things to consider: – Not all rooms have AC (some do), but all capsules have moving fans directly above the bed. Even in the hottest days, this was enough for me. You can’t expect AC and a pool for this price. – Capsules are in a dormitory, so, as anywhere, there can be background noises (like snoring). If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs (as you should to any hostel) or buy some at reception. Big plus: phone calls are not allowed in the dorm and David makes sure this rule is respected. For calls, just step out to the common area or go to the park – that’s what I did. When I’m in Kutaisi, this is where I stay. Simply best value for money.

    The location is super convenient—if you’re taking a shuttle from Tbilisi to Kutaisi, you can get off directly at the crossing and walk to the hostel. The manager is an efficient guy who quickly showed me around the hostel. I stayed in a private single room—it was basic, with just a fan (no AC), but even in July, it didn’t feel hot. The bathroom was clean, and the price was very reasonable. Recommended!

    Would be nice if there was double bed option, not just twin.

    The owner is really friendly, the space is huge and the location is nice, espcially for those with cars (impt to note: street parking only). The room is massive but super bare, it almost gives prison cell vibes (lol!) Overall it was really nice.

    It wasn't a problem for me as I had my own vehicle but the hostel is located outside of the downtown core, probably not walkable

    I loved how the cubicles are set up, very innovative and unique, and it does offer a lot of privacy. They have strict rules regarding cell phone and music usage in the dorms so you won't hear a thing. Good wifi, good showers. No AC, but each cubicle has a small fan. Great kitchen too. Parking up front or private parking behind the building.

    Nice hostel, close to bus station, you can get to the center by walking (around 30-35 min) or taking a bus. Capsul dorms are kinda comfortable and give you feeling of privicy.

    Too much hot in summer days and there is no proper ventilation system therefore very difficult to sleep.
