Castle views, the Mtkvari river, and Tbilisi's Old Town at your door.
A place to stay in Tbilisi
Old Metekhi By OldTown is a four-star hotel in Tbilisi rated 4.5/5 across 328 Google reviews. The property sits where the Old Town meets the Metekhi cliff, and several room categories look directly across to Metekhi Church and the river below.

Who this stay suits
A well-positioned four-star hotel with genuine castle and river views, solid amenities, and a location that puts Old Town Tbilisi within walking distance.
Best for
- Travellers who want Old Town access without sacrificing parking
- Couples after a room with a balcony and landmark views
- Solo travellers needing a compact, functional base
- Families wanting room service and a 24-hour desk
Less suited to
- Travellers seeking a large suite with multiple bedrooms
- Those wanting all amenities included in the rate
Views across the Metekhi cliff
Several rooms and suites look directly toward Metekhi Church and the Mtkvari river. The balcony categories — the Deluxe Double, Suite with River View, and Deluxe King Suite — put that panorama right outside the door rather than framed through glass.
Room sizes and layout
The five room types run from 20 m² up to 36 m². The two suite categories each include a sofa bed alongside the king, giving a little extra flexibility for how the space is used without stepping up to a multi-room apartment.
Setting in the Old Town
The hotel sits in the Metekhi area of Tbilisi's Old Town, a neighbourhood known for its cobbled streets and 19th-century architecture. Guests consistently flag the location and cleanliness as standouts in reviews.
