freedom square hostel — Hotel in Tbilisi

I stayed 5 nights at this hostel with my wife. They gave us a big double room with a window, a queen size bed and a huge closet. The bed wasn’t very comfortable because you could feel the wires in the mattress. The hostel’s location is its best asset, as it’s just behind the Courtyard Tbilisi and a five-minute walk from the main street in Old Tbilisi. The metro station is also nearby, about 2 minutes away. It’s worth mentioning that to get there you need to go through the Courtyard’s car park. Also, the hostel is on the 5th floor of a building. If you don’t want to use the stairs you can use the lift, although you need to pay to use it (either with a 5- or 10-tetri coin). We always made sure to have coins before coming back to the hostel.||||The staff is very friendly, although the lady that is in charge and present during most part of the day can’t speak a word of English. She’ll try her best to understand you, though. The hostel has a kitchen, washing machine (which you can use for 3 lari), a huge salon with piano, reliable WiFi connection and two bathrooms. I think that the biggest drawback of the hotel is the toilets. The smell is a bit weird, you’ll rarely find toilet paper, I saw a roach once, and the bathroom layout is strange (no divisions between the toilet and the showers). The hostel has space for 20 people and 2 toilets are not enough. When the place was at its fullest, it was very hard to find the bathroom free, especially in the morning.||||All in all we always felt comfortable. For a very low price you are in a central location. I don’t think I would stay here...

Freedom square, where this hostel is located, is the best location in Tbilisi. Old town is located on one side, Rustaveli Avenue starts on the other side, newly built Rike park and Bridge of Peace is just a 5-minute walk away. Definitely, best location you can find especially considering the price of the accommodation.||Other pros - the hosts are hospitable and welcoming. There is a kitchen where you can cook something for yourself. You can also order a breakfast for 5 lari (haven't tried it though).||The cons - the rooms are crowded with beds, the place could...
