Luxury Rose Apartment Tbilisi: Georgia's Most Stunning City Views!
Luxury Rose Apartment Tbilisi: Views That Steal Your Breath (And Maybe Your Wallet) - A Raw Review
Okay, so you're looking at Luxury Rose Apartment Tbilisi, huh? You've seen the photos – those panoramic views promising a postcard-perfect Georgian sunrise. Well, buckle up, buttercup, because I just got back, and I'm about to hit you with a dose of unfiltered reality, mixed with a healthy serving of "Ooh, that was nice. Wait, what was that?!"

First Impressions (and the Climb)
The views? They are as ridiculous as the pictures suggest. Seriously, jaw-dropping. You're plastered across the face of Tbilisi, and it's breathtaking. But let's be honest, the climb up to the apartment complex is a killer. My calves are still screaming from the cobblestone streets. They have an elevator, bless them, but be prepared for a workout, especially if you're dragging luggage.
(Accessibility - Let's get it out of the way)
They claim to be accessible. And… they kind of are. There's an elevator (thank the heavens!), but navigating the rest of the building feels a bit… hopeful. I wouldn't call it truly wheelchair-friendly. It’s more like "we tried." Wide doors are there, but some tight turns and the general layout make it a bit challenging. (Important: If accessibility is a MUST, double-check EVERYTHING with the hotel before you book. Seriously.)
(Rambling thought: I really hope they're working on it. Tbilisi deserves better accessible options. It's such an amazing city!)
The Room - My Little Palace (or… Not?)
I went for a "Luxury" apartment, naturally. Because, vacation. The room itself was… well-appointed. Let's start there. The "Luxury" part definitely shone in the views. The apartment had everything: air conditioning that worked like a dream (praise be!), a massive bed that swallowed me whole, and blackout curtains. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver after a particularly enthusiastic tsa-tsa session at the local bar.
(Available in All Rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.)
The "not so luxury" part? A few minor scratches on the furniture and the slightly… vintage feel of the bathroom. Let’s just say the shower pressure wasn’t exactly a Himalayan waterfall experience. And the sink? Well, let's just say the initial reaction to washing my face involved a lot of "Hmm, is this going to work?"
(Rambling again: I'm not complaining! Mostly. It was certainly clean, and hey, I wasn’t expecting perfection. It's an apartment, not the Ritz, right?)
Internet & Connectivity - Stay Connected (Mostly)
Internet access – wireless, Internet access – LAN, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas
The Wi-Fi was… reliable. Mostly. There were a few moments of buffering agony while trying to stream a movie, which is never fun when you're craving a movie night. (I mean, with views like that, you want a movie night!) The LAN connection seemed to hold strong though, if you're into the whole wired-internet thing.
(Emotional Reaction alert: I just really hate buffering. It's the technological equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.)
The Spa & Relaxation Zone - Indulge (Or Don't Bother?)
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The spa area is advertised as a sanctuary of bliss. They boast a sauna, a steam room, and a pool with a view. The pool with a view? It’s as stunning as it sounds. Seriously, swimming laps while looking over Tbilisi is an experience. The water, the panorama… perfect.
(Things to do, ways to relax: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor])
But the implied luxury? It was a little… diluted. The sauna was clean and hot, so thumbs up, but the steam room felt a bit… lukewarm. And the massage? Let's just say the masseuse had a slightly heavy hand. My muscles were definitely aware that they'd been massaged.
(Anecdote: I went for a massage, thinking it would be the ultimate relaxation. Instead, I left feeling like I'd jogged a marathon. My fault for not specifying "gentle," I guess!)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Fueling the Adventure
(Dining, drinking, and snacking: A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant)
Breakfast was included and… a buffet! The usual suspects: eggs, bacon, pastries, cereal. It was decent, nothing to write home about, but it filled a hole. The coffee wasn't the greatest, I'm a coffee snob though. Room service was available 24/7, which saved me from having to wander the streets at 3 am when my stomach decided to perform a solo concert.
(Quirky Observation: Ordering room service in a bathrobe? Immensely satisfying. Highly recommend.)
Cleanliness & Safety - Feeling Secure (Mostly)
(Cleanliness and safety: Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment)
The place felt clean, no question. They seemed to be taking COVID seriously and I appreciated that. Plenty of hand sanitizer, and the staff wore masks. (And if you're worried about germs, remember, a good shot of Georgian wine will fix most of that.)
(Anecdote: I spilled a bottle of red wine on the white carpet one night (oops!). The housekeeping team was surprisingly gracious about it. They cleaned it up so fast, you'd think they were trained in some sort of magic or something.)
Services and Conveniences - What's on Offer
(Services and conveniences: Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center)
Loads. Luggage storage, laundry, concierge… the usual suspects. The staff handled everything with a smile. They're friendly and helpful.
(Random thought: A concierge can be a lifesaver. Especially after a few too many glasses of Saperavi.)
Getting Around - Navigating Tbilisi
(Getting around: Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking)
Airport transfer was easy, which is always a plus after an exhausting flight. Taxis were readily available, and walking around the area was a bit of a hike (see the "climb" comment above), but well worth it for the views. I didn't use the car park, so I can't comment on that, but I saw it existed.
**(Anecdote: I took a taxi to the
J.K Residence: Your DREAM Kuching Homestay Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this itinerary for the Rose Apartment in Tbilisi, Georgia, is less a perfectly-sculpted travel brochure and more a rambunctious, slightly-lost-but-loving-it diary entry. Expect a few wrong turns, some epic food comas, and enough emotional whiplash to qualify for a rollercoaster. Let's do this…
Rose Apartment, Tbilisi: A Love Story (and a Few Mild Crises)
Day 1: Arrival and Accidental Adventures (and maybe a bit of homesickness, if I'm being honest)
- 10:00 AM – Arrival at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): Okay, first hurdle: Navigating the baggage claim. Seriously, why are airport carousels always so… existential? Watching everyone wait, I swear, you can see the hopes and dreams swirling around with the errant backpacks. Finally snagged my bag – Victory! Now for the taxi… ah, the Georgian taxi drivers. Let's just say the driving style is… spirited. Found a lovely man who spoke a smattering of English and blasted some Georgian pop music. Instantly, I felt slightly less like a lost tourist.
- 11:00 AM – Check-in at Rose Apartment: Finding the Rose Apartment was an adventure in itself. The address looked straightforward enough, but Tbilisi streets have a way of playing hide-and-seek. Finally, there it was – a charmingly dilapidated building with a beautiful wooden door. The apartment itself? Spotless! And the view from the balcony! Oh, that view… over the old city, terracotta roofs, rambling trees… instant swoon.
- 12:00 PM – Lunch Debacle: First food mission! Armed with Google Maps and an overabundance of optimism, I ventured out. Ended up in a restaurant that looked promising – “Taverna Tbilisi” or something equally generic. Tried to order khachapuri (cheese bread, life-giving substance) but my Georgian skills… let’s just say they’re rudimentary. Managed to secure a VERY large, VERY cheesy, bread-y concoction. Ate half. Felt slightly guilty for not polishing off the whole thing. The waiter gave me a look that combined pity and amusement. I’ll blame the jet lag.
- 2:00 PM – Exploring the Old Town (sort of): Wandered aimlessly (and happily so) through the narrow, winding streets. Found a hidden courtyard with a tiny, sun-drenched café. Ordered a coffee (which was strong and perfect) and just… sat. The air smelled of spices and something indefinably Georgian. Felt a wave of… this. This is what I came for. Started to almost like the city, maybe a bit more than a bit.
- 4:00 PM – Sulfur Baths and the Great Towel Snafu: Okay, so I’d heard about the sulfur baths. They’re supposed to be amazing. Booked a private room (because, let’s be honest, I’m a little shy). The sulfur smell… well, it's intense. Like, really intense. The bath itself was… hot. Incredibly hot. I’m pretty sure my skin turned a shade of lobster red. The masseuse? A tiny, formidable woman who knew exactly how to work out every knot in my body. Best massage of my LIFE! Except… when I went to dry myself, I realized I'd forgotten to bring a towel. Doh! Had to sheepishly ask the staff for one. Mortifying.
- 7:00 PM – Dinner and the First Sip of Saperavi: Decided I needed a pick-me-up after the sulfur bath ordeal. Found a charming restaurant with live music. Tried Saperavi wine (Georgian red wine, rich and delicious). It was like a hug in a glass. Ordered a plate of khinkali (Georgian dumplings). Mastered the eating technique (or at least pretended to). Felt euphoric. Told myself I could handle anything.
- 9:00 PM – Back to the Rose Apartment (and a little bit of existential dread): The walk back was magic. City lights twinkling. The air cool on my face. Reached the apartment, sat on the balcony, and stared at the city. A sudden wave of… homesickness? Was this really the adventure I wanted? Then I took another sip of the Saperavi I had brought. Ok. Fine. I'm here. I want to be here. The city is a bit messy. And so am I.
Day 2: The Markets, the Mountains, and the Unexpected Beauty of Chaos
- 9:00 AM – Breakfast in the Apartment: Found a tiny bakery around the corner and bought some freshly baked bread and some local cheese. Amazing. Simple. Perfect.
- 10:00 AM – The Dry Bridge Market: This place. Oh, this place. A sprawling flea market filled with treasures (and junk). Old Soviet badges, vintage cameras, quirky artwork, and enough random objects to make your head spin. Spent ages haggling with a grumpy old man over a soviet-era trinket. Negotiated a price that I am pretty sure was way too high, but I can't say no to that grumpy old man.
- 12:00 PM – Lunch at a Khinkali Institution: Heard about a restaurant with the absolute best khinkali. Took a taxi. The taxi driver (another spirited driver) went off on a tangent about his love of dancing. Arrived at the restaurant. Ordered khinkali. The first bite… pure, unadulterated bliss. So good. So juicy. So… perfect. Ate approximately a million. Felt slightly ill. But worth it.
- 2:00 PM – Day Trip to Kazbegi (The Mountains Call!): Booked a day trip to the mountains. The drive was… long. And winding. And at one point, I thought I was going to be sick in the minibus. But then… the mountains. Oh. My. God. Breathtaking. Majestic. Suddenly, all the winding roads and motion sickness faded away. The Church of the Holy Trinity rising on the hilltop – pure, unadulterated beauty. Took a million photos. Felt like I was in a movie.
- 6:00 PM – Back to Tbilisi (Exhaustion and A New-Found Respect for the Georgian Countryside): Feeling thoroughly exhausted (but also, incredibly happy). Saw the city lights again, and it felt like coming home.
- 7:00 PM – Dinner and a Search for the Perfect Shashlik: Decided I needed to find the perfect shashlik (grilled meat skewers). Wandered around. Found a restaurant. Ordered the shashlik. It was… good. Not perfect, but good. The search continues!
- 9:00 PM – Balcony Time (and the realization that I am falling in love): Back at the Rose Apartment. Sitting on the balcony. The stars were brilliant. And I realized… I was falling in love with Tbilisi. With the chaos. With the beauty. With the food. With the slightly-crazy energy of the whole place. Maybe, just maybe, this was exactly the adventure I needed.
Day 3: Exploring, Eating, and the inevitable Goodbye
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast and Postcard Writing: Had eggs and hot buttered toast, which I had purchased from the little shop downstairs. They didn't sell coffee (only instant), so I went to a nearby cafe to try and get as much caffeine as possible (because I was going to tackle the last day).
- 10:00 AM - Walking tour of Tbilisi: After my much-needed caffeine fix, I found a walking tour that was highly rated. We walked around and stopped at many tourist attractions. The guide could speak a little bit of English - this was the best part of the tour.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch Time: The tour guide suggested a well-reputed restaurant. I decided to go - since I was already in the area. The food was not bad either.
- 2:00 PM - Shop 'til you drop After lunch, I wanted to soak in the atmosphere of Tbilisi one last time. I went to a nearby shopping area and brought some souvenirs for my family and friends.
- 5:00 PM - Goodbye Dinner: It was time, to pack my bags and head toward the airport. I made sure that I had one last good dinner - hopefully, the best experience of the trip.
- 7:00 PM - Back to Rose Apartment: I quickly made my way back to the apartment, as I had a flight to catch. Once I arrived, I realized that I had a slight issue with my luggage.
- 9:00 PM - Heading to the Airport I managed to secure my luggage after a frantic search. Overall, I was late for my flight and this was not a good way to go.
This is just a rough
Amman's Sunrise: Unforgettable Hotel Experience (Jordan's Hidden Gem!)
Luxury Rose Apartment Tbilisi: You Want the Tea? I Got the Tea. (FAQ Edition)
Okay, spill it. Are the views *really* as good as they say at Luxury Rose Apartment? Because, let’s be real, Instagram lies.
Alright, alright, buckle up buttercup. The views? From Instagram, I thought, 'Yeah, yeah, someone's filter game is strong.' But let me tell you, stepping onto that balcony… whoa. Like seriously, *whoa*. It’s not just views, it’s… an experience. I remember, I got there at dawn, jet-lagged to hell and back, and just slumped onto a lounger. And then BOOM. The sun hit the rooftops, and the whole city just… exploded with color. The Narikala Fortress, all lit up, the river gently snaking through. It's like a living postcard. *Better* than a postcard. Actually, I cried a little. Don't judge. Okay, maybe judge. It was beautiful!
What's the apartment *really* like? I hate surprises. (And dust bunnies.)
Okay, okay, let’s get down to brass tacks. The pictures? Mostly accurate. It *is* luxurious. Think sleek, modern, with all the bells and whistles. I mean, the kitchen? Beautiful. But here's the reality check: It's not pristine. I found a tiny, *tiny* smear on one of the kitchen cabinets (judge me all you want, I'm admitting it!). The cleanliness was probably *slightly* less perfect than what the Insta-perfect pictures suggested, but I'm a slightly messy person myself, so I didn't mind too much. The bed? Oh, the bed! I think I spent half my trip sleeping on it. Seriously, it was heavenly. And the apartment as a whole? Just felt… good. Like, you know when you walk into a space and it feels like a warm hug? That.
How’s the location? Is it a hassle to get around?
Location, location, location, right? It’s… good. Very good. You're close enough to everything – the Old Town, the sulfur baths, the fantastic restaurants. Walking is totally doable, but Tbilisi is hilly. I'm not gonna lie, after a day of exploring, my legs were begging for mercy. But it's worth it! Otherwise, taxis are cheap and readily available. I remember once I was trying to navigate back after too much Saperavi. I thought I knew where I was going but ended up wandering around for twenty minutes and I kind of loved it. The apartment was easy to find, even in a slightly... compromised state. Seriously, the location is a win.
Is it noisy? I'm a light sleeper.
Okay, this is a crucial one. Tbilisi is a lively city. Let me paint you a picture: I'm a chronic insomniac. Usually, I'm up at 3 AM, counting sheep. But the first night at Luxury Rose? I slept like a baby. Okay, maybe not a baby. More like a slightly-less-anxious, well-rested adult. There was *some* street noise, but nothing unbearable. The windows are pretty good at blocking it out. Honestly, the only noise I remember was the internal battle with myself, deciding whether to get out of that ridiculously comfortable bed to grab another cup of coffee and admire the view again. Spoiler alert: I usually chose the coffee and the view. Repeatedly.
The service? What’s the deal? Are they helpful?
The service was *fantastic*. Honestly, the staff were genuinely gracious and helpful. They felt more like friends than staff. From checking in to giving recommendations of local hotspots, it was all smooth sailing. I had trouble with the coffee maker (user error, probably) and they sent someone up immediately to fix it. It felt nice. It honestly helped me relax. And they were always happy to recommend restaurants, tell me where things were, and the like. And honestly, they were so lovely, it was a joy just to interact with them.
Is there parking? Because finding parking in a city… ugh.
From what I recall, yes! There's parking available. I didn't drive, so I didn't use it personally, but I distinctly remember reading about it when I was booking. That said, Tbilisi's best explored on foot or with taxis. I wouldn't recommend a car unless you plan on excursions outside the city. Trust me, you'll regret trying to parallel park in those narrow Tbilisi streets. And finding parking is a nightmare. Ugh, I'd hate that. So... parking available? Yes. Useful for *you*? Maybe not so much.
Would you stay there again? Be honest! The good, the bad, the ugly!
Okay, no sugarcoating, I would move in there right now if I could! Seriously. I had an amazing time. The views, the bed, the overall vibe? Fantastic. The location? Spot on. Were there tiny imperfections? Of course. But honestly, those tiny imperfections gave it character. It wouldn't be the same place if it was sterile. But listen, I'm not even being paid to say this! This is a genuine review from someone who spent a great deal of money to be there. The only thing I would have changed? I'd have stayed longer. I give it a solid 9.5/10. Go. Just go. You won't regret it. And tell me what *you* think! I want to hear all about it!
