This is where you should stay in upper Racha!!!
Pros:

Mischa's place was incredible -- beautiful rooms, amazing views, warmth, and hospitality. It's clearly a labor of love. Mischa was extremely helpful, generous, and accommodating.
I stayed in two rooms -- the small double the first night was fine, and I had plenty of room to spread out in the building. But the second night Mischa moved me to the top floor of the other building, which was insanely beautiful and comfortable. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Cons:

I honestly can't think of anything.

A beautiful place to stay, just don't expect a fully staffed hotel experience.
Pros:

The building is absolutely beautiful, breakfast was quite good and plentiful, the location was excellent. I stayed twice, in two different rooms, and definitely preferred the Steinbeck room.

Cons:

Some of the staff were readily available, friendly, and helpful, others were hard to find and less helpful.

staying in a museum of Georgian intellect is the best introduction to Tbilisi
Pros:

We loved staying in this historical museum of literature and poetry of Georgia. It’s a unique experience and it felt like a house of intellect, not a hotel. One day a group of school children attended a seminar about arts downstairs. A whole gallery on the first floor is dedicated on the intelligentsia that historically spent time at this building over the last centuries. On the second floor there are only 5 rooms, each one with the name of a writer who spent time in the room. Interior decoration felt almost untouched, with wonderful antique objects.

Cons:

Everything was great and beyond.

Tiflis'teki saklı hazine!
Pros:

Otel gizli bir hazine. İnanılmaz mobilyalarla döşenmişti. Girdiğimiz ilk an kendimizi bir masalın içinde gibi hissettik. Sabah kahvaltıdan çok keyif aldık. Evet belki bir açık büfeye göre aşırı seçenek yoktu ama hiç bu kadar mutlu bir kahvaltı yapmamıştık. Omletimi yapan ablanın ellerine sağlık normalde sevmem ama o kadar içtendi ki sanki annem hazırlıyor gibi keyifle yedim. Kahvaltıyı ortak bir masada yapıyorsunuz ve bizim şansımıza otelde konaklayan iki misafir de dünya tatlısıydı.( Sisters country! değerlendirmeme denk gelirseniz tekrardan çok memnun olduk) Otelin temizliği de çok başarılıydı her yer pırıl pırıldı. İlk karşılama anından ayrıldığımız ana kadar her şey mükemmeldi. Tek olumsuzluk (çözülebilir) saç kurutma makinesi çok eskiydi ve taktığımızda garip sesler geliyordu dolayısıyla duştan sonra saçımızı kurutamadık ama odanın derecesini ayarlayabildiğimiz için sorun olmadı.

Cons:

Hiçbir şey.

Den einen gefällst den andern eher weniger.
Pros:

Das Hotel/Museum ist in einem interessanten Viertel. Zu Fuß ist man schnell im Zentrum.
Das Frühstück hat alles was man braucht. Das Zimmer war sauber.Der Flughafentransfer hat super funktioniert.

Cons:

Wir standen 10 Minuten vor geschlossener Tür bis zufälliger weiße jemand im inneren vorbei spaziert ist. Im Zimmer angekommen musste wir zuerst die Heizung ausschalten da diese auf 25 grad eingestellt war. Die Bilder auf der Seite zeigen den Innenhof und nicht den Hotel/Museum Eingang was vielleicht etwas irreführend. Fazit: es war nicht meins. Ich bin aber sicher, dass es anderen sehr gefällt. Es ist eher Wohngemeinschaft als Hotel.

Authentic Georgian experience
Pros:

The best place to stay in Tbilisi, in my opinion, superior to Rooms and other fancy locations. The history of the place, the antique furniture in the rooms, the location in the heart of old Tbilisi, the delicious breakfast – all contribute to an unforgettable experience.

AMAZING staff!
Pros:

I stayed at Writers' House of Georgia for about six weeks earlier this year and it quickly became my home in Tbilisi.

The building itself is stunning — gorgeous architecture with traditional Georgian furnishings that give it real character.

My room was quiet, which is rare in Tbilisi, and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. As a very light sleeper, I was surprised at how well I slept every night.

The location is perfect — just a few minutes' walk to Liberty Square.

But what truly sets this place apart is the staff.

Khatuna, the manager, is one of the kindest and most patient people I've ever met. She went above and beyond to help me with everything — not just matters related to my stay but personal things as well. She's also a walking encyclopedia of Georgian culture.

Ana works the night shifts and is an absolute sweetheart — positive, humble, and a wonderful conversationalist.

I learned so much about Georgia through my many conversations with both of them.

I was dealing with serious health issues during my stay and was not the easiest guest to manage. The grace and warmth I received from everyone at the Writers' House during a very difficult time in my life meant the world to me.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Cons:

Nothing.

A great place to discover the city, the history, and the comfort.
Pros:

This is an amazing historical place, not w typical hotel. Still, each room is skilfully arranged, well maintained, the main area is stunning, looks nice, smells nice.
There is a restaurant and the garden downstairs, wonderful too.
The staff is wonderful and caring.

Cons:

Nothing, maybe just be mindful the windows are old and you can hear the noise from the streets. But it will happen in most places anyway.
