Mercure Tbilisi Old Town

Mercure Tbilisi Old Town is a four-star Accor hotel at 9 Vakhtang Gorgasali Street, close to the sulphur baths of Abanotubani, Metekhi Church and the Old Town's main restaurant streets. The street runs along the left bank of the Kura river in the oldest part of the capital of Georgia, so Sioni Cathedral, the Narikala cable car station and the Bridge of Peace are all within a short walk. The nearest metro stations are Freedom Square and Avlabari, each reachable in a few minutes by taxi or on foot, and taxis in Tbilisi are inexpensive. The character of the property is that of a practical, mid-range international hotel: modern, comfortable and efficient rather than historic, with the Old Town's atmosphere found outside the front door rather than in the building itself. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, with nightly rates generally between GEL 210 and GEL 419, or roughly $80 to $160, which makes it good value for the location. Amenities include a fitness centre and a sauna, a restaurant and a bar, and wifi throughout. Breakfast is served at the hotel, and for dinner the surrounding streets have a dense concentration of Georgian restaurants serving khinkali, khachapuri and local wines. There is no large pool or spa, though the sauna and the nearby traditional sulphur baths give visitors a wellness option. Service is typical of the Accor Mercure brand, friendly and professional, suited to couples, families and business travellers who want to walk everywhere in the historic core. The reception can help arrange airport transfers, city tours and excursions to Mtskheta and the Kakheti wine region. The hotel is a sensible base for first-time visitors who want proximity to the main sights without paying the premium of the larger luxury properties.
