Batumi is an amazing city, offering and marine recreation, and a varied excursion. It is worth spending a minimum of a week to catch and soak on the sun, and climb all the surroundings. There are no problems with housing in Batumi, but it is only at first glance.
We entered my husband in the city closer in the late afternoon, put the small rain and the twilight was rapidly approach, so it was not to wander in search of the hotel at all. The navigator showed a lot of hotels, but moving along the main road, for some reason we could not see them. Then it turned out that the card is a bit shot and most hotels are located in the depths of the quarters, but it turned out a little later. Looking forward, I want to mark the categories of the proposed accommodation right away:
- Hotels
- Guest Houses
- Apartments
The first two categories are usually mixed and, if the proud name "Hotel" is written on the sign or website of the booking, then this is absolutely nothing. And so in order.
Hotels
In Batumi, they are represented as a completely "Soviet" option, and absolutely modern with a magnificent setting and the latest equipment. By the way, the price of a shapper room in the classic hotel "Hello from the USSR" may be higher than an excellent room in just opened the hotel.
As expected, network hotels such as Hilton Batumi, Sheraton Batumi, Radisson Blu Hotel Batumi are widely represented in the city. The price per room starts from $ 300 per night, but this is a special promotion.
At the reception room, the room will cost at least 350 bucks "in the season." The quality of the rooms at the height is at least there was no money on the room, but because of curiosity, after all, Hilton's setting looked.
If you are a lover of the Soviet situation (well, you never know!) There is where to get roasting. The population lives not very rich and the things that we have come to the dumps for a long time, here perfectly continue to serve. Therefore, familiar bedside tables, and sofas, and floor lamps, and refrigerators with TVs - all this can be found in local hotels that are proudly called hotels.
The main problem (besides the old license plate), with which we personally faced - the proseciation of the rooms. For people of non-smoking or with allergies, it will not be easy to find a hotel where it is forbidden to smoke in the rooms. Yes, warnings "No smoking!" hang, but no one pays attention to them. Some rooms are simply impossible to enter, not to mention to stay for the night.
Guest Houses
Georgians endlessly hospitable people and infinitely ... noisy. Be prepared for the fact that in a guesthouse you will wake up with the owners and their children. Everything is loud, and sound insulation is so bad that they can save only earless.
The situation in guest houses is not high, but always cozy and very homely. But the price may be both acceptable and high enough, depending on the appetites of the owners. The average cost from $ 30. The advantage of this accommodation is a significant savings and at home, and on nutrition - for quite funny money you will always be fed up for a common table.
Apartments
Both the Internet, and local newspapers, and the walls of houses are trying to give ads for housing. For rent both apartments and whole houses. The principle is simple: the longer the rental period, the more you will be discount. Apartments also come across shabby, smoked, with old furniture and bad plumbing, but everywhere will be smart Internet - be sure of that.
Since Batumi is a sea resort, naturally, there is a rule of the first line. The closer to the sea, the more expensive apartments. If you have plans to stay in this city for a couple of days, you can hardly bother with searching for housing. Anyway after examining a huge number of attractions and the beach you will fall and instantly fall asleep. But if a long-term visit to Batumi is supposed to work hard to find good housing.
As a result, we found a good hotel near the sea. A huge plus, which has become a decisive - the hotel has just opened and still quite new and not yuzanny. The name of the hotel "Green Villa".
Price per room with breakfast 30 dollars (June). There is parking - an important advantage for traveling on a car. Wi-Fi in all rooms flies, clean, but again, not very good sound insulation.
He tried to describe what was collided personally. Could not cover something on housing, so if you have any questions, ask.
