Hotel Canyon

Fantastic location, helpful staff and peaceful. I had the whole upper balcony myself overlooking the gorge.

The room was basic but quite adequate considering the cost.

The location is good. It is in the heart of old tbilisi, and a lot of the main attractions that tourists will want to see are nearby. There is a very impressive view, as you would expect from the name. The room was clean and I appreciated that there was a kitchen with basic facilities, as this is not always provided by other places. The staff member was understanding when I was leaving and let me stay past check-out time as it was raining.

As other travellers have noted, there is absolutely no way of telling where the place is, and you will probably spend a very long time, possibly several days, looking for it. The check-in time is an estimate. Many travellers will be coming from outside the city (particularly the airport, and so it should be anticipated, and even expected, that they will arrive after the estimated time, as I did (after failing to find the property or even street). There need to be proper arrangements in place for when they don't. You should not be relying on the kindness of neighbours to phone the owner and even let people in, as was the case with me. After I checked in, I was later asked to clarify how long I was staying for and even if I had paid. This should already be known, and obviously would have been known if there had been a proper check-in. Similarly randomly asking guests if they are leaving (or 'going home') doesn't create a good impression at all, even if it looks like they are (I was carrying a suitcase). The upstairs balcony has a row of plants that died a very long time ago, and badly needs repainting. Somebody's son (I'm presuming the owner's) playing football loudly outside, in a way that made it impossible to do anything, isn't appropriate when you have paying guests, or even guests at all. If you want to do this, then it is probably best not to advertise it as a hotel, and to tell people that you will be living in their home and have to put up with family members who want to act accordingly. The upstairs bathroom door is still broken and the shower is also broken. The fact that this has already been reported on several occasions and hasn't been fixed over quite a long period of time doesn't create a good impression at all. Neither does the apparent lack of vacuuming upstairs and basic things like emptying bins. The location gives the accommodation great potential.

It had a great view and was close to tourist attractions.

The room was very old and had very few amenities. There wasn't even soap in the toilet.

Красивый вид с терассы. Чистая комната, на первом этаже есть кухня. Для переночевать и посидеть на балкончике, любуюсь видами, очень даже пойдёт.

Ужасные матрасы на кроватях, пружины провальны в районе поясницы.

Everything was perfect except that the bathroom didn’t provide soap or basic toiletries.”
