About
The distinctive, luxurious and elegant place in the heart of Old Tbilisi, once again ambitiously looking and bubbling over Abanotubani. The legendary “Colorful bath“ is a renewed look of centuries-old history. Located at the eastern bank of the Mtkvari River at the foot of Narikala fort across Metekhisubani, Abanotubani is an important historic part of the city — the place, where according to a legend the King of Iberia, Vakhtang Gorgasali’s falcon fell, leading to a discovery of the hot springs and, subsequently, to founding of a new capital.

- Thomas S1 contributionGood experienceIts a good experience if you haven’t done it before. Price is okey. We paid 146 lari for 2 persons, inc towel, slippers and one pot of tea. For the scrub it was 20 lair pp. this was a privet room for 1 hour.Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 30 March 2023
- Abeer Al DosariDoha, Qatar300 contributionsA must sulfur bath in TiblisiI was little hesitant to go as I was not sure of my expectation then I said to myself it won't harm to try it out! So do you! Please please don't visit Tiblisi without trying the bath at this place. The price is very reasonable and its a he'll of experience.. I had different feeling of my skin during the bath itself then it lasted there for the next day.. its highly recommended but to be honest I tried the Spanish massage and it wasn't great..I mean there is nothing special with it but it was nice break after the bath. Don't miss the scrub during your bath.Visited May 2023Travelled soloWritten 13 May 2023
- Isha SharmaDoha, Qatar115 contributionsExperience worth every pennyI had one of the best spa experiences of my life at the Chreli Abano & Spa. You need to book min 15 days prior to your arrival date to get your desired room on the desired date. Get your towels, slippers & body scrubber or you can buy it at the reception for 10/15/20 Gel. The staff is very pleasant & well spoken. A guy led me to my sulphur bath room and guided me on how it works. My room could accomodate 1-2 people and had an attached bathroom & also a shower. I also opted for Georgian traditional peeling called Kisa which costed additional 20 Gel which was worth every penny. My masseuse ‘Fatima’ was very kind and I ensured scrubbing all the dead skin from my body, the skin feels like a baby.Visited June 2023Travelled soloWritten 3 July 2023
- AndrewYork, United Kingdom21 contributionsSuper-cool and relaxing bath experience.This was a very easy and pleasant experience in the best looking baths in Tbilisi. Wewent for Room 2, and one of us opted for the exfoliating scrub, which was superb. The room was moderately pricey, but worth it for the experience, but take your own towel and don't bother with slippers - the room has wet and dry areas.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 November 2023
- perthsaintPerth, United Kingdom420 contributionsGreat ExperienceWe hired a bath for two, water was very hot but if you ask they can adjust it and lower the temperature. Best part was the scrub which lasted about 15 mins. Not really a massage but great experience and well worth trying for 20 GEL extra.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 20 November 2023

There are many spas in Tbilisi but for us we choose Chreli Abano Spa. The building is beautiful, the staff were very helpful and friendly and Jeannette and I loved the spa and massage!

I laughed at the reviews saying the water was ‘too hot’ - it’s a hot sulphur bath, what do you expect? But really, it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been to several thermal baths in my life, and if you are thinking it will be a similar experience, it isn’t. We are pretty good with hot water but neither my boyfriend nor I could bear to dip a toe or hand in for more than 10 seconds. A half hour of gently splashing ourselves and we still couldn’t get in. I’m sure this temperature can’t be safe and it’s hard to imagine how anyone could tolerate it.
If you still want to try it, we took the smallest size room/bath, and it was perfect for two people.
The exfoliating scrub was good however. What they don’t tell you with the advertised pricing online is that you also have to buy the exfoliating mit, but it’s only about €3.50.

We went for the massage - not the baths. Are experience pertains thus only to the welcome spa experience and it was terrible. The massage rooms are on a corridor right of the street plus the reception area (on the same corridor) is crowded and loud. Massage was average for the price.

Luxury sulfur bath for a minimum cost of 70 GEL. It is highly recommended to book online as it’s always full and getting there without appointment is hard.

Enjoyable afternoon for me and my partner, 70GEL (so A$35 roughly) plus we paid for towels (19GEL) and the scrub (GEL20 0 used the same scrub brush)
Nice and hot, the scrub was wonderful and was a nice way to spend an hour or so in the afternoon

The most overrated bath in the area. Their staff are taking advantage from the tourists. They lack the minimum of Georgia generosity and welcoming culture. They make you pay extra if you’re changing your time stating that “there are no rooms left”, they make you pay for towels, slippers…. And water. The rooms don’t include shampoo, soaps, or lotions.. the minimum in any similar place. Very bad experience !!

When I went there you couldn't do any online bookings. For same day bookings, you can just call in the morning and ask to have a room reserved for you. For any future bookings, you had to go in person and pre-pay the room.
