About

Hotel Formula-1 - Tbilisi

Hotel Formula-1 - Tbilisi occupies a quiet, residential street up a hill, yet it sits just a 14-minute walk from the National Gallery and right off Rustaveli tube station. The guesthouse-style property offers free Wi-Fi throughout, and rooms come with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and private bathrooms - some with mountain views and balconies.

Guests consistently praise the hosts, who speak German and English, hand out Tbilisi transport cards, and have been known to drive visitors to the Central Railway station in their own car. Breakfast is a daily-changing spread of homemade Georgian dishes, and the rooftop and shared balconies look out over the city.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Genuine hospitality — Guests repeatedly mention the owners going out of their way - offering lifts to the station, providing transport cards, and sharing local tips.
  • Homemade breakfast — The spread changes daily and features homemade dishes, a highlight in several reviews.
  • Balcony and rooftop views — Some rooms and the shared rooftop offer views over Tbilisi, which reviewers found worth the climb.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Hilltop location — The hotel sits on a hill; reaching the main street involves a walk uphill, which some guests found challenging.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be tight for late-night arrivals.

“Great value for money, with affordable rates and careful attention to detail. The hill location is a bit of a climb, but you're rewarded with lovely city views. Penthouse rooms with balconies are a nice bonus for fresh air and relaxation. Breakfast varied daily with homemade food.”

“I spent a few nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the city and a short walk from the center. Despite the hill, the balcony views were stunning and worth the extra cost. Staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help, even providing a self-care kit with toiletries. Breakfast was superb - delicious and varied, changing every day. Great value, and I'd happily return.”
