Tbilisi Dream Apartment: Georgia's Most Stunning City Views!
Tbilisi Dream Apartment: Views That Steal Your Breath (And Maybe Your Budget) - A Flawed But Fantastic Review
Okay, buckle up, because this is gonna be a messy, honest, and hopefully hilarious take on Tbilisi Dream Apartment – the one that’s supposedly got the best city views in Georgia. And you know what? They might be right. But lemme tell you, getting to those views is a whole experience.
SEO & Metadata Overload (Don't Worry, It'll Be Okay):
- Title: Tbilisi Dream Apartment Review: Unfiltered Views, Quirky Charm & a Few Hiccups!
- Keywords: Tbilisi, Georgia, Tbilisi Dream Apartment, City View, Luxury Hotel, Spa, Swimming Pool, Accessible, Review, Travel, Accommodation, Tbilisi Hotels, Best Views, Georgia Travel, Romantic Getaway, Pool with a View, Fitness Center
- Meta Description: My honest (& sometimes clumsy) take on Tbilisi Dream Apartment. Stunning city views, but is it all sunshine and roses? Find out about accessibility, the spa, the food, and the little things that make this place unforgettable (or maybe just frustrating!).
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (Literally!)
Right, so the accessibility. This is where things get a little…murky. They say facilities for disabled guests, and the elevator is a lifesaver (essential for those views!). But navigating the actual surroundings? Not always a breeze. Some of the pathways felt a bit iffy for a wheelchair, and I didn't spot any clearly marked accessible routes to the pool. This is something they need to look at. I did find a ramp, but it was a bit…hidden.
On-site Accessible Restaurants / Lounges: Unclear. Didn't see anything obvious.
Wheelchair accessible: Partially. Elevator is good, but pathways need review.
Internet: Praise the Wi-Fi Gods (and the LAN Gods, I Guess!)
Internet: Yep. Internet [LAN]: Yep. Internet services: Yep. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: YES! AND THANK THE LORD! Wi-Fi in public areas: Yep. (Though sometimes patchy as a teenager's acne).
Thank God for the Wi-Fi! I depend on it to upload my photos. I'd be lost without it. I am not much for Internet [LAN] but I guess it is there.
Things to Do (and Ways to Relax) - Oh, My Aching Back!
Okay, the "relaxing" part is where Tbilisi Dream really shines.
- Body scrub: Didn’t try it, but hey, it's there!
- Body wrap: Ditto.
- Fitness center: Looked decent, I only peeked in, I am quite relaxed, you know!
- Foot bath: Tempting! Maybe next time…
- Gym/fitness: Yup.
- Massage: Yes, and OH MY GOODNESS. I had the Swedish massage and they were like wizards! My back has been a mess for months. The massage therapist was so skilled, I swear I felt 10 years younger. This alone almost made the whole stay worth it. Seriously, book the massage. DO IT. Right now.
- Pool with view: ABSOLUTELY. The infinity pool overlooking the city is, hands down, one of the best things about this place. Seriously, jaw-dropping. I spent hours just floating, watching the sunset. Pure bliss.
- Sauna: Yep.
- Spa: The spa is a whole experience..
- Spa/sauna: Yep.
- Steamroom: Yup
- Swimming pool: The outdoor one is the star!
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The money shot. Spectacular.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Sanitizer Shuffle
Okay, let's be real. Safety is a huge thing these days.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good to know!
- Breakfast in room: Available, but I preferred the buffet.
- Breakfast takeaway service: Nice option, if you're in a rush.
- Cashless payment service: Convenient!
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Okay.
- Doctor/nurse on call: Peace of mind.
- First aid kit: Always a good thing.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere.
- Hot water linen and laundry washing: Important.
- Hygiene certification: Tick.
- Individually-wrapped food options: Secure.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: Mostly observed (though the buffet could get a little crowded).
- Professional-grade sanitizing services: Reassuring.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Good, for those with sensitive noses.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Important.
- Safe dining setup: Mostly, yes.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: Good.
- Shared stationery removed: Smart.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Seemed like it.
- Sterilizing equipment: I believe it.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Nice touch.
Overall, they seemed to be taking things seriously. This is reassuring. One thing to watch out for is the amount of single-use plastic in the rooms - water bottles, little toiletries etc., a point to improve, no doubt.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (Mostly Good)
The food situation had its ups and downs.
- A la carte in restaurant: Available.
- Alternative meal arrangement: I didn't try this.
- Asian breakfast: Nope, no luck there.
- Asian cuisine in restaurant: Not during my stay.
- Bar: Definitely!
- Bottle of water: Provided daily.
- Breakfast [buffet]: AMAZING. The buffet was a highlight - so much variety. The Georgian pastries were divine. And those local jams? Forget about it. I could have stayed at the breakfast table all day.
- Breakfast service: Excellent. Attentive staff.
- Buffet in restaurant: Yes!
- Coffee/tea in restaurant: The coffee was pretty good.
- Coffee shop: Yes.
- Desserts in restaurant: Yes.
- Happy hour: Yep, with some decent cocktails.
- International cuisine in restaurant: Always an option.
- Poolside bar: Perfect for a sunset drink.
- Restaurants: At least two.
- Room service [24-hour]: A lifesaver at 2 am when you're craving fries and feeling sorry for yourself.

- Snack bar: I did see a snack bar…
- Soup in restaurant: Yes.
- Vegetarian restaurant: Not that I saw, but vegetarian options were available.
- Western breakfast: Yes.
- Western cuisine in restaurant: Yes.
The food was generally good, but I have to say, the a la carte menu was a little pricey. It had some absolutely fantastic Georgian dishes. But also, the prices in general felt somewhat inflated, which might be expected from a hotel like this.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this itinerary isn't going to be your perfectly-pressed travel brochure. This is real life, Tbilisi style. And trust me, it's messy, beautiful, and probably involves way more wine than you'd expect.
Tbilisi Tango: A Messy Love Letter to Georgia (and Possibly to Myself)
Accommodation: Alright, so I'm crashing in an apartment in Tbilisi. It's supposed to be "charming." (Translation: probably won't have hot water all the time, but hey, character!). I'm calling it… "The Khachapuri Hideout." Because, you know, necessities first.
Day 1: Arrival, Altitude, and Awkward Georgian Hospitality
Morning: Arrive at Tbilisi International Airport. Ugh, airports. Always a soul-sucking vortex of overpriced coffee and existential dread. But hey, freedom! (And maybe slightly smug feeling of "I'm traveling alone, I'm independent"). Navigate the chaos, find a taxi (hopefully don't get scammed immediately!), and pray the wifi works at the apartment.
Afternoon: Unpack (or, let's be honest, attempt to unpack - my luggage is currently a black hole of wrinkles). Faceplant on the bed and fight the jet lag monster. Seriously, it’s a war, and the monster is winning. Try to get some groceries nearby. And that's where things get interesting (and hilariously embarrassing)
- The Grocery Gambit: So, I stumble into a tiny local market. My Georgian language skills are currently limited to "Gamardjoba" (hello) and "Madloba" (thank you). I attempt to buy some bread, cheese, and maybe a bottle of something… wine? The shopkeeper, bless his heart, just gives me this look. The language barrier is a brick wall. I panic and just point at a bunch of things hoping for the best. End up with a cheese that looks suspiciously like rubber and a juice box meant for toddlers. But hey, adventure! And it cost me literally nothing! Victory!
Evening: Explore Old Tbilisi! Wander aimlessly. Get gloriously, wonderfully lost. Embrace the winding cobblestone streets, the crumbling balconies overflowing with flowers, the (probably) slightly too-loud music spilling from every doorway. Seek out a traditional Georgian restaurant.
- The Supra Surprise: I end up in this place that everyone raves about. The food is incredible (Khinkali, people! Get the Khinkali! And the Lobio!), the wine flows like a river, and the hospitality? Overwhelming. Seriously, I feel like I walked into a family reunion I wasn't invited to. They toast to everything - my health, the country, global peace, the fact that I'm even breathing. Commence the epic, somewhat hazy, evening. Attempt, poorly, to dance a traditional Georgian dance. Fall flat on my face (metaphorically, mostly).
Late Night: Stumble back to the Khachapuri Hideout. Collapse. Dream of Khachapuri.
Day 2: History, Hangovers, and a Seriously Magnificent Bath
Morning: Wake up. Regret. (The copious wine from last night. The Khachapuri. Everything).
- The Cable Car Catastrophe: Attempt to take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress. But the line is insane, and the sun is scorching, so I decide to hike up, which is my first huge tactical mistake, with the hangover. Sweating, panting, questioning all my life choices. Finally make it to the top. The views are… stunning, to be fair. The sheer beauty of Tbilisi stretched before me, worth almost the agony of the trek.
Afternoon: Explore the sulfur baths. Oh. My. God. This is where the magic happens. The real magic.
- The Bathhouse Bliss: Choose a bathhouse. The Rustaveli baths are legendary. The air is thick with steam and the scent of sulfur. I get a scrub (prepare to be exfoliated!), then a massage. It's pure, unadulterated bliss. I emerge feeling like a new person. Seriously, the best hangover cure EVER.
Evening: Stroll along Shardeni Street. Soak in the atmosphere, watch the world go by. Find a cute cafe and enjoy the simple joy of people-watching.
Late Night : Grab some street food: a khachapuri, or a shaurma, or a pizza. Then head to bed. Maybe watch a movie.
Day 3: Art, Abandonment, and a Serious Reckoning with Reality
- Morning: Visit the Georgian National Museum. Marvel at the history, the art, the sheer resilience of this country. Feel a pang of sadness for all the triumphs and tragedies etched into its past.
- Afternoon: Explore the "Dry Bridge Market." A treasure trove of Soviet-era junk, antiques, and weird and wonderful things. I find the most beautiful vintage camera that I can't afford but must have. Maybe I'll buy it. Maybe I won't. (Probably not.)
- Evening: This is where things potentially get weird. Maybe I'll go to a concert. Maybe I'll get incredibly lost again. Maybe I'll sit in a park and actually contemplate my life choices (and question why I'm single). Depends on my mood.
- Late night: Get some sweets for later. Maybe try to do something else.
Day 4: Departure (With a Heavier Heart and a Much Lighter Wallet)
- Morning: One last, deep breath. Savor your last khachapuri. Reminisce about the things you said and did while you were here. Pack up your bags. Feel a twinge of sadness about leaving this amazing place.
- Afternoon: Taxi back to the airport. Surrender to the airport chaos. Maybe buy some overpriced souvenirs to appease your friends.
- Evening: Fly home. Reflect. Start planning your return, before your plane even takes off the runway.
Things I (Probably) Won't Do, But Might Regret Not Doing:
- Learn more than three Georgian phrases. (Probably won't happen)
- Successfully navigate the metro. (Highly doubtful)
- Find a good souvenir shop. (I swear I will!)
- Make friends with a local. (That I will!)
Overall Mood: Optimistic. Slightly caffeinated. Deeply emotional. Expecting the unexpected. And definitely ready for more Khachapouri.
P.S. This itinerary is a suggestion, not a law. Feel free to deviate, get lost, and make your own mistakes. That's how the best stories are made. Tbilisi has your soul and I hope you find yourself, on this amazing trip.
Escape to Paradise: Greece Islands Hotel in Guarujá, Brazil
Okay, let's be real: Is the view *really* as good as the pictures?
Dude. I'm going to be brutally honest. The pictures? They're good. Like, really, really good. But the view… the VIEW in person is *insane*. It hits you like a goddamn freight train of beauty. I walked in, dropped my bag, and just stood there staring. My jaw, like, physically ached from being open for so long. I swear, I’m pretty sure I let out a little "whoa" that sounded suspiciously like a dolphin. It's not just panoramic; it's a *living* painting. The way the light shifts over the old town… Forget it. You'll be glued to the window for hours. Bring snacks. And wine. Lots of wine. Actually, scratch that, bring a whole damn vineyard. Because you'll want to savor every single second.
What's the deal with the apartment itself? Is it actually *nice*?
Alright, so the view is the main draw, obviously. But the apartment itself? Look, it's not the Ritz. It's charmingly… *rustic*. Think exposed brick, maybe a slightly wonky door (which, let's be honest, adds character!), and furniture that’s comfy enough to collapse into after a day of exploring. The kitchen? Totally functional. I managed to cook a passable (and I stress *passable*) pasta dish. The bathroom… well, it worked. The shower had good water pressure, which is a HUGE win in my book. It's clean, comfortable, and the kind of place you don't mind kicking your shoes off and just chilling. Plus, it’s clear they actually *live* there sometimes, not just for guests. It wasn't stark and sterile, which I personally appreciated. It actually felt welcoming.
Is it easy to get around from the apartment?
Okay, so the location is pretty damn good. You're right in the heart of everything, which is amazing, but… here's the thing. Tbilisi is built on hills. And I mean, *hills*. Getting to the apartment from the main road? Prepare for your calves to burn. Honestly, I’m pretty sure I lost a pound a day just walking up and down those streets. But that's part of the charm! Embrace the burn! You *will* be rewarded with the best khachapuri you've ever tasted. Plus, taxis are readily available and super affordable. Just, you know, factor in the climb when you're planning your day. Pack comfortable shoes. And maybe a spare pair of lungs. (Kidding! Mostly.)
What's the Wi-Fi like? (This is important!)
The Wi-Fi? Okay, brace yourselves, fellow internet addicts. It's… fine. It's not the blazing-fast, fiber-optic heaven you might be used to. I wouldn't recommend live-streaming the entire season of your favorite show, but it’s perfectly adequate for checking emails, scrolling through Instagram, and even – gasp – video calls. I managed to work remotely for a few days, and while it wasn't *seamless*, it was doable. Be prepared for the occasional buffering, and embrace the opportunity to disconnect for a bit and, you know, *actually* enjoy the view. Or maybe just accept that you'll probably be staring at it, anyway.
Are there any downsides? Be honest!
Alright, here's the unvarnished truth: The stairs. Those damn stairs. They're the price you pay for that breathtaking view. And the noise. Georgian cities, bless their chaotic little hearts, are alive. There's the occasional barking dog, the distant sounds of music, and the general hubbub of city life. It wasn't incessant, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. Also, the kitchen, while functional, isn't exactly gourmet-chef-approved. And, in a fit of honesty, one time I accidentally locked myself out on the balcony. Luckily, I could shout down to the street to get someone to help me. But all of these are small prices to pay. I should also add that, one night, there was a power outage. And I’m a bit scared of the dark, so, that’s a downside. I could dwell on them... and I'm tempted to... but seriously, even with these minor imperfections, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
How's the communication with the host?
Honestly, the host was fantastic. Super responsive, friendly, and helpful to even the most ridiculous questions. I, uh, may have emailed them about the best place to find *specific* Georgian candy at 2 AM. They replied! And gave me good recommendations. They checked in to make sure I was settled, and they were genuinely happy to help. The communication was top-notch. It felt like they actually *cared* about the experience, not just collecting a paycheck. You'll be in good hands!
Would you recommend this apartment? Seriously, give me the verdict.
Look, I'm a pretty cynical person. I'm hard to impress. But… YES. Absolutely, unequivocally, without a single doubt, YES. Go. Book it. Right now. Literally, stop reading this and book it. The view alone is worth the price of admission. It’s a one-of-a-kind place. I wouldn't even worry about the small imperfections. They're part of the charm. This apartment? It’s a memory maker. It really is. You won't regret it. Unless you hate stunning views and the general joy of life. In which case, maybe stay home and watch paint dry. Your loss.
