Fabrika Tbilisi

This place is actually a concept area converted from an old Soviet factory. In the courtyard, there are shops run by designers, studios showcasing various handmade and design products, as well as a wine bar, barbershop, restaurant, pizzeria, and burger place. Every corner offers great photo opportunities, and the walls are covered with graffiti art. Inside, there’s a nice lobby area with a bar and a workspace. However, I have to say that everything here — by design — looks extremely old, worn out, dirty, and neglected. It’s just not my style. To be honest, this whole “vintage industrial” mindset also affects the service quality. Paying for something doesn’t necessarily get you a smile or respect. You might not get a menu at your table, your food may arrive incomplete, or take too long. If you have the time, patience, and understanding for this kind of atmosphere, you’ll probably enjoy it a lot. Personally, I preferred to take a quick look and leave. During my previous visit, after dealing with waiters who threw the menu on the table and responded only with “yes” or “no,” I just showed the place to a friend and walked out.

This vibrant destination blends modern culture and ancient history in the heart of Tbilisi. Ancient buildings have been transformed into a creative hub filled with quaint cafes, unique shops, and contemporary art spaces that tell the city's stories in a modern way. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with cultural and musical activities adding a touch of fun and inspiration to every visitor. It's an ideal place for exploration, socializing, and enjoying an experience that blends the ancient past with the modern spirit, making every visit a unique and inspiring one.

Very cool and trendy hotel located in the newer part of Tbilisi. We stayed with three friends in a spacious duplex room, which came with a large balcony. The rooms — just like the rest of the hotel — are stylish, modern, and roomy. Fabrika is definitely the place to be for young travelers. The area comes alive in the evening, with plenty of restaurants and bars just steps away. A great vibe for hanging out with friends. However, we were quite disappointed with the hotel’s service. Breakfast took forever — we waited a long time to be served, only to be told that most items were already unavailable, even though breakfast had just started. Once we finally placed our order, we had to wait even longer for our coffees to arrive. The poor service showed again during checkout. We waited 15 minutes at the front desk, but no one showed up. There’s a phone number you can call, but it just rings behind the counter… In short: highly recommended for the rooms and location, but the service definitely needs improvement.

The place itself is ok, a decent price and the rooms are fine, however the toilets and showers leave a lot to be desired. Also, the other people staying there were generally very strange and unfriendly. The room cards stop working after a day or two and you have to renew them at reception. But the area is decent and there are some nice bars in the space behind it.

Mixed feelings about this one, the location with all the bars in the backyard is cute, the building is very cool, the dorm room and the bedding are very nice and comfortable. However, I didn’t love walking the super long eerie corridors to get to the bathrooms. There’s no control over who enters the guest area so technically anyone from the bars downstairs can wander in (in fact they even had a notice on the inside of dorm door saying you don’t have to let strangers in? Bit odd). The staff were not too friendly. The furniture and decoration in the common area are really nice. Overall would probably stay somewhere else next time

The best place to stay in Tbilisi + great atmosphere, room design & courtyard - petite breakfast We loved staying at Fabrika. It would have been nice to have coffee in the room though not just tea and perhaps a few more pillows. The sound system was amazing plus having a fridge and lots of room and a terrace made for a wonderful stay. The shower room did spill out into the main bathroom but we worked out how to stop this with a rolled towel. We loved the atmosphere of the courtyard but the lounge as lovely and comfy as it was was a little strange like a weird sleep/work zone for nomads. It felt a bit like zombie zone. I also felt like there was always a security person lurking but not really identifiably working for Fabrika which felt a little unsettling. We would have preferred the old style buffet breakfast included instead of the a la carte as it was a bit confusing what we could have and the staff a bit laissez faire about trying to charge us on our first few days.

Great place great people. Lots of space. Lots of restaurants. Comfortable beds everywhere is clean. I’ll come back again if I if I’m ever in town.
