Orbi City - Orient Suite

The loud party music went on late into the night, which makes this a bad fit if you’re looking for a quiet place to sleep. It’s in a carnival and nightclub area. This is a private apartment listed by an individual, not a proper hotel or serviced apartment. We booked a sea view room but were given a view of the neighboring building. The owner wouldn’t provide the room as described and told us to leave if we didn’t like it. Then they cancelled my Booking.com reservation, saying I hadn’t shown up. We had to find somewhere else at 11:40 pm. Getting checked in was also awful. I asked several times which building we needed, since Orbi City has multiple towers, but wasn’t given the exact one or any check-in instructions until our taxi reached the Orbi complex. This was the only dishonest and unpleasant homestay of my whole trip in George. A real shame given Georgia’s warm hospitality.

We couldn’t sleep or relax because there was constant noise. The furniture was old, uncomfortable, and poorly kept, and the bathroom was very dirty, with insects and clogged drains. At check-in, the host kept us waiting for four hours, then asked for extra money beyond the amount stated in the booking policy. I wouldn’t recommend staying here at all. 3220

Mariam, the reservation agent, made booking easy with her attentive, professional help. What she did should make my stay even better. I had a great experience with her and highly recommend her.

Booking early got us an affordable rate. The place was clean and easy to get to, with a lovely view and location. It’s a bit far from the sights, but the reasonable price and cleanliness made that easy to overlook.
