It was really nice, I loved my stay, the only thing that stopped me giving an excellent was the fact the in room coffee machine was not free, the price for each was very small but seeing as it’s a 5 star hotel & they offer a free breakfast, it seemed very unnecessary

How River Side Hotel has managed to claim 5 stars is beyond me—unless those stars were bought and paid for. This is, at best, a run-down 2-star property masquerading as luxury. The place is dirty, poorly maintained, with visible leaks, moldy walls, and an overall vibe of neglect. The so-called bar upstairs turns into a nightclub-level noise factory every night, with bass so intense the entire room shakes. Sleep? Impossible. I had booked a 3-week stay and fled after just two miserable nights. When I politely explained the conditions were unlivable and far from what was advertised, the staff were not only dismissive but downright rude. Not only did they refuse a refund, but they had the audacity to charge me for a single coffee capsule I used while trying to stay awake through the noise. There are plenty of decent places in Tbilisi—this isn’t one of them. Do yourself a favor and steer far, far away.

Lipstick on a pig. English comprehension was horrible. I am severely disabled - walk with two canes, heart and lung issues, and legally blind. Went inside to check in, was told by hotel staff it was wrong hotel. Gave directions which led to a construction site. Managed to walk back in the dark and was told that ofc it is the right hotel. Staff is beyond abysmal. Refused to give us manager’s name or contact details. Dark as a tomb inside. Never received any VIP benefits. Central heating was not turned on in near freezing temps. Did not understand what “toilet paper” means, so bought at a shop. “Marble” is just ceramic tile made to vaguely resemble marble. No charging points & very few outlets. Bluetooth speaker had US cord with 110v sticker, but was rated for 220v and ofc wrong shape for Georgia electricity. No adapters provided. Bathtub was covered with dark grey stains on the bottom. Robes were dingy and grey with age. Cushions ripped, carpet stained, multiple damage to walls, no peephole in the door, deadbolt on the door did not work at all. “Non-smoking” hotel with ashtray and smoking area directly directly in front of the only entrance. Breakfast buffet left to sit in the open for hours. Refused to print a receipt. Rude “security” jerk screamed “A-HOLE” in Georgian at me on departure. This dive is only “luxury” to locals who don’t know better. Infinitely better actual luxury hotel just 100 meters more up the road. I left. Heartily recommend you avoid at all costs.

My recent stay at the property was truly delightful, not only because of its impeccable cleanliness but also due to its superb location. Many of the main tourist spots were just a short walk away, which made exploring incredibly convenient. What truly set this experience apart was the warmth and readiness of the staff. They were not only welcoming but also consistently went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. A special mention must go to reception, the manager, whose efforts were standout. She assisted us in every possible way, never hesitating to help make our stay more enjoyable and hassle-free. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a place where service and location really make a difference.
