Hotel Kenari

What I liked : Location, clean rooms. Breakfast is made for order. What I was disappointed with: There is no designated parking lot. You have to park on the street if you are lucky. Very small size of toiletries.

Most impressive and above everything else was the super warm, homely and friendly staff at the property. You rarely find such personalised hospitality even in 5 star luxury hotels. The location is central but a steep climb if you plan to walk. We recommend taking taxi as its not so expensive in Georgia. The rooms are ok for the price, sufficiently clean and basic. They do have mini refrigerator, water kettle and Television, a plus is they have airco, useful in Summer. Breakfast although limited is very homely (fine for the price). Overall 10/10 for the service, 7/10 on property.

Excellent location, steps to Shota Rustaveli Ave. Excellent breakfast. However, the room was so tiny, that we could not even find a place to place the suitcases. To go to the bathroom at night, we needed to move a chair... Went to the Front Desk and told them we will be moving. They said no problem, they will refund for the unused time, but they needed to wait a couple of days before they even would get the money from **********. They never returned the money. Not only this. It was the first place where we used a debit card to pay for incidental, and the very day someone charged the card for $507.

The room surprised, it was very nice perhaps newly renovated. Some information in the room would be necessary like breakfast time , cleaning the rooms ( only when asked), using the ironing board ( and also returning it). Breakfast every morning same, some change would be nice ( porridge, fruits, youghurt for example)

The hotel is within short distance to the city center. Don't expect to find the amenities and services of a 5 stars hotel. Night shift receptionist was very helpful and professional. Making beds and cleaning the room is the not the main priority of the staff here...Unless you ask. We'd have expected more professional behavior from the day shift receptionist. ( no smile, very poor english skills ).

We had delays in travel & arrival and owners were kind and very helpful in working with us. Breakfast was delicious, rooms were very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our garden view.

Hotel with a lovely personal touch and friendly staff providing all the assistance you need,. The room was pleasantly furnished with a good bathroom and shower, while a typical Georgian breakfast buffet was laid out in a spacious hotel lobby where you eat from comfortable armchairs and sofas. Good coffee (not just powdered, unlike in some Georgian hotels). The hotel felt very peaceful, with our room looking out onto a quiet lane, but is only a few minutes walk from the busy thoroughfares of central Tblisi.

There was a problem with shower head, but they fix it immd and nice enough to offered us to change room.

We stayed 8 nights in the Hotel Kenari and it was a very pleasant stay. The best things about the hotel are its location, which is in the old town of Tbilisi just a few quiet blocks up the hill from Rustaveli Ave, and the price, (just over $1200 USD for 2 rooms). Both rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. Breakfast was included. Rustaveli Ave is a very busy main street that runs between 2 large squares, Republic Square and Liberty Square. Lots of places for food and shopping. Museums and other attractions are within easy walking distance for the fit and well, otherwise you can get a Bolt (think Uber at a fraction of the price). Most rides are 3-4 Lari (about a $1.35 USD depending on the exchange rate). Other things to know about this hotel. It feels more like a bed and breakfast since the family live on site and always are in the common areas, which function as their living room, dining room etc. Breakfast available 8 - 11 was good but very repetitive and they didn't seem to restock items after the initial set up. If you came for breakfast toward the later time your choices were very limited. The door was locked after 10pm so if you stay out later a sleepy family member has to unlock for you. That being said, I highly recommend this hotel. It's a real bargain and gives you everything you need for a good visit to Tbilisi.
