Vanilla Mountains

It's just 20min walk from the central bus station. Probably the most affordable bed if you don't want to share in a dorm, cleaner than most hostels. The shared bathroom worked well, without having to queue for it. The location is quiet and there are some minimarkets and restaurants about 10min walk from there. Bed sheets were not very comfortable (they didn't fully stick covering the bed) but they felt clean.

Breakfast is just a bun, a sachet of instant coffee and a plum. I don't think it qualifies as "breakfast included", rather "small snack". Having to use the bathroom to refill water and to wash the dishes does not feel very hygienic, nor comfortable. You need to walk and carry your luggage upstairs 2 floors (no drama, but to keep in mind)

Чистый, уютный хостел. Приятная хозяйка. Завтраки. Все новое, в душе есть необходимые принадлежности (шампунь, гель для душа, жидкое мыло). Несколько санузлов на этажах.

Мне кажется, что полотенце лучше сразу включать в стоимость проживания без доплат. У меня было свое, поэтому доплачивать не пришлось.

Nice big house with rooms bathrooms each floor quiet neighborhood walking distance to markets etc

Out of downtown but walking distance to bus station

We stayed for 2 nights in the classical Villa Vanila, because we wanted to visit Kutaisi for a short time until we went on to Tbilisi. It's an old villa building which we hadn't one time before during our 4 weeks trip from Germany on. The host Anna was a highly sympathetic person that welcomed us one hour before the usual check-in times. She also prepared a little breakfast for each guest in the fridge. Our little chamber was also quite comfortable and the vibe with the balcony on second floor for common use was quite unique. The centre of the city was about 20-30 min away, but it's really convenient when you come from the Citybus stop south of the stadium (just 10 min of walk). There was nothing left to be desired, so we can only recommend this accommodation for these purposes.
