Ilia Lake

Brim hotel is in a good part of town (felt safe for a solo female traveler), and has decent rooms at decent prices. This was my second stay at the hotel. There's a top floor bar/restaurant that has super interesting decor, good food and drink, and panorama city views. The staff was super friendly, the food in the top floor restaurant is terrific, and alcohol/drink prices are very fair. It seems you'll only get the middle of the road rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors if you book on 3rd party apps. Traveling alone they're great. Opt for the 4th floor suites if you're repacking before flying or trying to impress your partner. Staff speaks English! There's a porter to help carry your bags to your room. Beautiful cathedral views after dark.

This was the second time we stayed at this hotel. It is located in the heart of Old Tbilisi, in a very peaceful street. However, getting there needs to walk up steep streets. The view from the rooftop and even balconies is great. The staff are lovely. Rooms are clean. However, it is starting to show its age. Matresses need to be changed, and it needs soem maintenance in general. Breakfast is good for the price. However, I would add a fully automatic coffee machine instead of the old one. In general, it was a very good experience.
