Staff and residents were friendly. Able to use the fridge and kitchen for simple cooking. Basic and clean room. Hot shower and ok wifi. Shared toilets by the kitchen was smelly, so I walked all the way to the other end of the building (near room 1) to use a much better western toilet. Stayed 3 nights and had good sleep. I needed to catch a train to Tbilisi at 5:50am and the lady staff got up to open the hostel door for me, much appreciated!

Nice environment. The hostel has a very old school vibe, which I found charming.

Bathrooms are not nice or comfortable but to be expected for the price.

Loved this old building! Definitely a place for a traveler, not someone on holiday or looking for something fancy. Mostly locals staying, did not meet other backpackers. The ladies running it do not speak English but they're nice nonetheless. Basic kitchen, big rooms, good wifi, no AC nor fans but even in July it didn't feel too hot as it's a giant building with millions of windows. Top location

Excellent location - close to Borjomi park, train station, taxis, easy to reach attractions. Shops are around. Very nice and sweet staff members. It was a very peaceful place. Soviet-era building and furniture add extra flavor to the place. Feels like time travel. If you are looking for an affordable stay it's a perfect place.

Interesting historic building, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room . Would advise to book private bathroom

The toilet. A hard to use and a bit bad-looking squat toilet. Not for people with weak knees

Large clean room, excellent location, the building has history, in an old Soviet sanatorium which has seen better days.

Shower is on the bottom floor near the reception so you have to walk down there with all your stuff and then back up.

Although it is called a hostel you have your own private room, it is just the kitchen/toilet/shower facilities that are shared. Free wifi has a good connection. Staff are really friendly and will show you anything you need, just bear in mind their English is not great. Location is good and near everything you need/want (although Borjomi itself is pretty small). Interior has an old-fashioned look which is charming, not in a run-down sense. Value for money is unbelievable, would recommend to everyone visiting Borjomi.

One of the best hostels I ever stayed at. Since the building is so large, I got a private room when I booked a shared dorm. The location is near to the major sights in Borjomi. The staff is super friendly and generous. The building itself is very historic and interesting to wander around.

Perfect for budget traveller. Central location, friendly staff despite no English, big spooky mansion but room and shower are kept warm, warm comfortable bed. Old and tired building but everything I needed for a reasonable price- thanks.

You will either love or hate this draughty old mansion and its faded glory. I am glad there are still some places like this for backpackers to stay inexpensively.

I came in the winter, although there was a heating system in the room, the room was getting cold from outside, the doors were very old and there were feathers on the blanket.

It's a good hostel for the price, with a comfortable bathroom and a balcony overlooking a beautiful street. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I didn't have enough time in Borjomi :( In addition to the mineral water/hot springs, there is the nearby national park as well as the ski resort of Bakuriani just up the road. I didn't allocate myself enough time to visit all the offerings in the area. Maybe next time.

First thing, the hostel is very easy to find and is in a prime location of Borjomi. It is located right on or next to the Borjomula River. If you walk a little bit upstream, you can reach the Borjomi Central Park where one can find the fountain where the Borjomi water bubbles out of the earth. There is also the aerial tram, and then the walk up to the thermal hot springs. I thought the location was great for the proximity to these sights as well as to restaurants, bakeries, shops, etc. There is ample, and safe, parking on the street in front. The building itself is older.. but maybe for that reason is full of character! Wide stairwell, massive porches, worn carpets. I loved my room with a comfortable bed and adjacent bathroom and I slept very soundly. The staff is also very helpful despite any linguistic barriers. They helped me park and showed me all around the facilities. Thank you! For me, I thought that the location was very representative of the Borjomi of today and yesteryear... so I enjoyed my stay so very much! It is one of the reasons I like traveling. I like to learn about the history, see how things are today, and get to try new experiences!

Property is very very old. Toilet... is the worst one I've ever seen in hotels. I used public one down the river on park entry.

Excellent location. Great terrace. Clean linen
