The staff is extremely helpful, supportive and welcoming.

I liked everything

I stayed in a private room which was huge and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and better than I expected and Eva who was taking care of everything was wonderful, friendly and helpful. It's just a 10 minute walk to Liberty Square and maybe 15 mins back because all uphill.

Located up a hill so...You'd better have good legs if you go downtown and back to your place. ;)

Very nice useful and friendly host. Good value for money.

the room was very very warm. the fan was only aiming at people sleeping on the bottom beds. the room itself didn’t have good airflow maybe from the cabinet blocking the window, or cause some of the hallway windows were closed? not sure why but it got very stuffy in the room.

very well ventilated, good sunlight, location is great, it’s a big walk up the hill leading to it but it’s still very close to things you want to see around tbilisi. the lady keeping the hostel is super sweet! has good English and is easy to talk to, she can help with anything.

Bathroom could be cleaner, king size bed was not that comfortable as we supposed.

Amazing location, close to the city centre and the hill. Very nice old furnitures makes a good impression on us.

It could be better marked on the street with a more visible sign.

Good hostel for a solo backpacker, good price, has all facilities - including a washing machine and detergent. The staff was very nice and also other travellers were very chill and friendly. The location is on a hillside on a quiet street.

Bathrooms were grimy. No shower curtian and so the floor was always wet. I saw them clean every day but it was splashing the bathroom down, but it really needs a good scrub. Bathroom also smelt a bit mildewy/septicy. Only had hand soap in one bathroom. Door to my room had to fight it to get it to close and latch and super loud to open it. Bed in the double room was kind of hard and could use some better fitting sheets, bottom sheet was too small to be tucked so often you ended up partly on the exposed mattress.

Friendly staff, rustic old school feel. Good price. Small so its a bit more like a guest house feel.

i only spent one night there, and i enjoyed my stay; however, you should keep in mind that it’s an old building (hence be ready for everything that comes with that), and the windows in the dorm room overlook the street, so you might be woken up by car noise (just like i was). also, i only had cash but they didn’t have the change, so i had to go out and get some change. if you wanna come here i’d recommend to have the exact amount ready.

i really liked the local vibe in this place; it’s very authentic, old-fashioned and spacious. it was also fairly clean and good value for money. the staff are such nice people, i wish you guys all the best ✨

Bed size!

Nice area, all was fine! Only bathroom was too old. The room was large and bed comfortable..

We had included breakfast in the booking but the lady asked us in a rude way to wash the dishes after the meal which doesn't make sense if you pay for the breakfast

nothing

the location, the stuff very helpful & friendly , the back view to the open back yard

Couldnt get a towel, for breakfast had to wait around 1 hour, room is noisy because of side street, bathroom was little dirty

Closed to Luna park and liberty square

It is an up-hill walk to get there, so just something to bear in mind, if this may be an issue for others. however, it wasn't a problem for me. Also, water went off for majority of my stay there (only one night), but this was an issue that had afflicted the city as a whole, so unavoidable by the property. They took measures to mitigate this unexpected occurence to the best of their ability.

Nice, airy hostel. Not too far a walk down to the main street of Shota Rustaveli. Quite location. Free towel, as didn't bring my own, and no problems with using the facilities to wash my clothes there for free, too.

The accommodation is nice and cosy. It is not a bit hostel, what we enjoyed.

I had a wonderful experience at this hostel. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The location is perfect — close to everything but still quiet at night. I also appreciated the common areas where it was easy to meet other travelers. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and affordable place to stay!

I liked the atmosphere, very soft sofas, sometimes do not want to go out, can play guitar and drink wine at evening

I agreed to get to the hostel between 5am and 6 am. They confirmed I could. I got there at that time. None opened me, had to go to another hotel.

The place would not be recommended for the one who has difficulties to walk a bit sloppy way back there.

The most I liked about At Funicular Hostel were the people. The manager Alice is a nice, calm, friendly person. She is Russian so if you can speak russian you would definitely feel at home. It's not only the attitude of the staff but also the place used to be a house and that vibe still exists. Hostel has real local Georgian neighbours, too, with whom you are also sharing the inner courtyard. During my stay Babak was staying there also and was assisting at the hostel's work. He was also so helpful and fluent in English and Turkish. During my stay in February the price was amazing for a dormitory room, which was also breakfast included. For price/performance ratio breakfast was also good. If you like to live like in a communal order and like to share your time with your co-guests or host you would love the place. If you use this place only to sleep and leave early-come back late, you will miss the best features of the hostel which are friendship and the old decorated hallway where you can chill for hours or work regularly. For long stayers it's a perfect place.
