Skadaveli Guesthouse

Tbilisi


This Old Town hideaway has four very attractive, good-value rooms with contemporary furnishings and comfy beds – plus a lovely wood-columned verandah for sitting out, and a super-helpful English-speaking host. It's all in amazing contrast to the quaintly dilapidated exterior of this 1860s building. All but one room share bathrooms, and there's a simple kitchen for guests to use.

An extra 10 GEL per room is charged for one-night stays; no children under 14 years.
