Gorgeous setting inside the castle. The room is quite spacious and has a lovely balcony. Staff was nice, Wi-Fi worked well, breakfast wasn’t amazing but was good enough. Hotel also organized transfer for us from Armenia border and everything was smooth. The spa area is quite nice as well and is included in the price. We loved the experience of being inside the castle. Only regret was that our stay was too short!

Can’t fault it — location, facilities, bed, quality of sleep, staff, parking, bathroom, breakfast, balcony (we booked a Junior Suite for very little more and was WELL worth it), surroundings — we loved it. We’d driven over the mountains from Batumi (rather than the motorway — you can only do this in the summer and with a 4WD — was exhilarating) and the hotel was a wonderful reward at the end of a long day. We stayed 2 nights and explored the surrounding area — totally amazing. Had dinner in the hotel complex both nights — first night in the hotel itself which was fab and cheaper than you’d expect from looking at it — second night in the café opposite which wasn’t as good — wish we’d gone to one of the little places hidden round the back of the complex. You can see a lot for free but it’s worth paying to go into the citadel itself — absolutely gorgeous. Sorry to gush but as you might be able to tell — we loved it.

The location within the castle is AMAZING! stunning and dramatic views. The rooms themselves were comfortable and clean — good bathrooms, beds, etc. The hotel itself is quite cold and without character; front desk was not particuarly nice or helpful. For the uniqueness of the location, I definitely recommend for that alone.
