Stayed at the Beaumonde Garden for 2 weeks. I'd say at least 90 percent of the staff spoke English well enough for me to get what I needed. It was rather fun conversing with the staff. The sfaff was extremely friendly and helpful. They provided breakfast of breads, cheeses, and fruit, and Caffee Americana (American Style coffee) if you asked. The dinner was of Georgian affair of course. The wine I had for dinner was very good and they provided it free to me and my associate from about 8:30 pm till 1:00am. Of course we left her a tip for staying up so late with no complaints. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. I acually had a 3rd associate who moved from the Marriott to the Garden because his room was so tiny and the staff stuffy. I would deffinately recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Georgia or working there. Oh, forgot to mention that if you are on business to the American Embassy they will pay for your taxi's to and from the hotel & embassy. The only charge was 20 dollars US from the Airport and another 20 dollars to the airport when I left. Both were added to my bill. Very convenient.

Over the past two or so years I have stay at the Beaumonde about half a dozen times. I suppose that I keep on returning as it has to be one of the most friendly and certainly one of the most original hotels in the city and very good value for money to boot (90 US). If you want chic and modern, then stay at one of the Marriotts, but if you are seeking an altogether different, Georgian experience give the Beaumonde a go.

Admittedly, parts of this family-run hotel could probably do with a a bit of a makeover - particularly the bathrooms with their leaky showerheads and chipped tiles. However, these blemishes are insignificant compared to the hotel's numerous other charms such as its warm ambiance, winding stairs, oddly-shaped rooms and expansive guest lounges. Breakfast and dinner are also included in the price and the staff have a habit of lacing you with delicious free red wine! Life could be worse...

By the way, for the more industrious among you the hotel also boasts wi-fi.

Rooms are spacious, clean, but very basic.
Food (Breakfast + Diner) is typical georgian food (you should love coriander!).
The owners and personnel are very friendly and supporting. But only few of them speak English or German.

We spent two periods of time here in September - the first time was wonderful, and then when we went back and they recognised us they upgraded us! This is a true Georgian experience - a social, friendly and really special place. The food is wonderful, as it is across the country, and then rooms are spacoius and homely. If you want to experience the true openess of the Georgians, this is your only choice!
