Hotel location is great, walkable to Rustaveli Avenue. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel room could be improved: The bathroom had a damp smell, the curtains have come off on a few hooks so the curtains don’t block out the daylight/sunlight. Rooms look a bit dated and could do with an update.

Statue of Vakhtang Gorgasali, the supposed discoverer of the city of Tbilisi.

According to legend, he was out hunting in the woods one day, when he shot an arrow at a pheasant. He shot his arrow with such strength, that both the arrow and the bird were plunged into the ground.

By pure happenstance, he managed to drive the bird into a boiling hot sulphur spring, and when he pulled the bird out of the ground, it emerged, FULLY COOKED!

Upon seeing this, he decided that this was the perfect location to build a new city.

This is supposedly how Tbilisi got the name Tbilisi - it roughly translates to "warm."
