I had a mostly enjoyable stay at the Citadel Narikala Hotel, thanks to its stunning views and spacious rooms. However, there were a few hiccups, particularly with some service issues that left me feeling a bit unwelcome. The location is fantastic, set against a backdrop of the historic Narikala fortress, although the steep climb to the hotel might be challenging for some.

The room was bright and spacious, offering an amazing view of Tbilisi from the balcony, which I greatly appreciated. However, I did encounter issues with the bathtub, as it was missing a plug and the shower setup flooded the room during use. Additionally, I found the bed quite uncomfortable, which affected my sleep quality.
