This hotel is in the rabbit-warren maze of "neighborhood" streets in the Old Town area. The area is undergoing a lot of renovation, but still retains a centuries-old atmosphere. Despite the back-alley appearance, the area is very safe. The hotel is full of charm, as its name suggests. The largest room, once the living room, holds a white Steinway grand piano and a fireplace. It also has a space-age shower that would please any honeymooning couple! Our room on the second floor had a romantic decor, with "Romantic and Sensual" soap in the bathroom! Aside from the construction noise outside the window, the hotel was quiet. Our hostess Nino speaks English well, and provided excellent service. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We chose Hotel Charm for its location and for its potential "charm," looking forward to a guest-house or bnb experience rather than a hotel. The interior is an interesting mix of Rococo furniture, art, and nicnacs set in large, airy rooms with beautiful crown molding and big, old windows. The bathrooms were a little underwhelming as they had been modernized without much aesthetic concern and certainly not in agreement with the theme of the rest of the house. This also made the bathrooms and towels seem dingy, even though they were likely clean. My main problem was with the bedding, which I am particularly sensitive to. The sheets where not big enough for the bed, threadbare in some places, stained in others, and made of a rough seersucker-like material I've seen often used as sheets in Georgia. However, this issue presented no problems to my companion, who slept without incident. The highlight of our stay was certainly the breakfast. Perhaps meager by American standards, we were immensely pleased with the breads, cheeses, boiled eggs, freshly-baked breakfast cake, tea, and coffee. The breakfast room is also a pleasure to be in, with a large, ornate fire place, carved wooden table, and period paintings. I would certainly recommend Hotel Charm to couples or groups as they have rooms with multiple beds, as long as you don't mind sub-par bedding.

So be it, it was in the middle of a construction site, the electrics and the water were not operating all the time and I had to go carry our own extra bed from the basement, after some confusion with the room-arrangements; THIS PLACE IS A CHARM INDEED!!! Most of the rooms are decorated with antiques and the owner is friendliness herself, who doesnt get annoyed if the guest (read: me) had a few chachas too many and stumbles in in the middle of the night. Its nice to meet for a simple breakfast in the small dining room or to just relax and play backgammon on the terrace, we met several other good travelers here and truly had a great stay.

(For the suits out there, maybe another place would suit your business-trip.)

The hotel is a nice little house with multiple spacious rooms, a friendly staff and right in the middle of the action on the west bank of the river. It is so close to so many things it is hard to decide which to do first, but once that is done it is easy to walk all around the area and back. Nino is extremely helpful and will make recommendations on what and where to eat, how much a taxi should cost and so-on. I enjoyed my stay very much and will stay again when I return to Tbilisi. As others have noted, there was construction occurring opposite the hotel, but I didn't find it as bothersome as they did.
