Reviews of Gutsa Artists Mini-Hotel 4 stars

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

Massive rooms in a lovely lady's well-kept and beautifully classic flat right in the heart of the city. Gutsa was very sweet and accommodating - I would definitely stay here again.

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).

Hotel is aesthetic, cozy, clean and affordable.

Like a home. Very sweet. Very good location. This mini hotel like a museum. Will come back again.

Location

Language barrier

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.

break fast

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.

Location is very good. Breakfast is decent. Rooms are cosy and have a Georgian charm.

Breakfast was very poor we are not satisfied

Breakfast

The stay was quite comfortable as we felt we stay in our own house. The staff is very nice and helpful and provided best services through out our stay. She is quite friendly and providing lots of information about the city in Russian language and we enjoyed our stay.

Breakfast offered is mediocre. However, she allowed us to use the kitchen and we prepared our food using the stuff we had.
