The owner of the hotel is a very nice woman who make sure all of your needs are met. The rooms are very spacious and have wonderful decor. There was a balcony which was nice to sit out on during the night time. The location is great, very central part of Tbilisi, the metro station is less than 5 minutes down the road. Every morning you can get coffee and some porridge. Overall excellant stay and would recommend anyone to stay here. There was nothing I disliked about it.

The owner lady knocked my door 3 different times down as if she had arrived to kick me out around 10 in the morning, very rudely, supposedly to warn me about the check out which was supposed to happen between 11-12am according to what she said the previous day. She doesn't speak English at all and it's not even mentioned at any step, she acted weird and irritated all the time. Tried to ask me where I was going that late at night, when I arrived came to my room to check if I came alone as specified in my reservation. Super disrespectful and no professionality at all. No reception, no service, nothing at all if you don't speak Russian. All I can say positively is that the bed was comfy, location is nice and wifi worked with no problems. Everything in the rooms are so old.

Gutsa is a nice host who shares her family's story and shows her paintings generously. I felt welcomed and warm.

We stay one week in gutsa mini hotel. Gutsa is very kind and helpful host. We’re grateful for her interest. She is also an artist and hotel looks like gallery full with her portre, landscape paintings. Neighbours are helpful who help us for parking. Location is in the heart of Tbilisi.

Loved the artsy vibe! Mdm Gutsa is a wonderful host & great painter. The location is convenient, close to transportation (Rustaveli metro, Philharmony bus stop), shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed the chai, biscuits, and the extra blanket. The room has a heater, but I would suggest extra heater on bed — maybe because we’re from tropical country ! Overall, a great stay with a kind host. Had a great conversation even through translator app (She speak Russian).

Pros: Location. Cons: The hostess. Here are just a few things that happened to us in two days: You can't put your belongings in the closet in the room because it’s filled with the hostess's fur coats and overcoats. When we asked her to remove them, she responded, "Where should I put them?" There's no refrigerator in the room, even though the photos and description show one. There's a tiny fridge in the hallway for everyone to share, and it freezes everything so much that our yogurt and milk turned into ice. The hostess prohibited using the air conditioner for more than two hours and said she would check. And this was in 38-degree heat. Children aren't allowed to do anything—walk, talk, or even breathe. As soon as we stepped out of the room, we were immediately threatened, even though my kids were so scared they were behaving like mice. We sat down for breakfast, took out the frozen milk to make them cereal, and the children were sitting silently at the table. The hostess immediately said, "Keep an eye on your kids; this isn't a summer camp!" When I asked why she was saying this, since they were sitting quietly, she replied, "Just in case." She asked us for payment a couple of times, forgetting that we had already paid in full upon check-in. Laundry is charged. There was a washing machine in our friends' room, so we used it. The scandal was incredible. Apparently, neither we nor our friends were allowed to use that machine because it belongs to her son. After that, she forbade us from even washing clothes by hand, saying that if she saw laundry on the balcony, she would charge us for it. Now, about the room. Everyone talks about the antique furniture and paintings. The furniture is not antique, just old. Everything creaks horribly, and the springs poke into your back. It all smells of age. Under the beds, there are boards and old carpets.

The place is really in the center of the city, so location is great. Paintings all around the place are nice too. The room windows are straight at a heavy traffic central road: prepare to wake up every 30 mins because of bikers. Even closed windows will not save you. Beds are literally falling apart, my brother left the hotel to find another one at 3am, as he couldn't sleep at all Everything is from the Old Soviet style: shabby, old, uncomfortable Breakfast is poor: fruits and buckwheat my kids couldn't eat The main problem is the owner (a 80+ year old lady). She asked my 9 year old son (without asking any permission from me or my wife) to go and buy her some food on the streets of Tbilisi. We were lucky to find him fast before he got lost. We told the owner that this is not acceptable, and the son was in real danger. In response she called the police(!) The police quickly understood the situation and helped us to return money back, as we wanted to leave immediately.

The location is good and the grandmother who lives there is an artist. If you speak Russian or Georgian language, you could gain a lot from her but not for English speakers. There's no breakfast, only tea/coffee. The maintenance is just ok. I was charged for one full additional day, for checking in 8hrs early! The artistic pictures are slightly misleading. It's not as good as in picture.

Very very old building. Very old furnuture. No reception. Not comfortable. We go up using stairs. I dislike the place. You have to renew everything. This is not an hotel. It is very old appartment

Great location and atmosphere, and Gutsa’s hospitality as well! The breakfast did not meet my expectations though… Do not expect it to be properly balanced and satisfying. Not for a adult man at least.
