Axel's take: 7.3/10
A convenient sightseeing base, but less polished than its four stars suggest. A small independent 4-star in Old Tbilisi, scored for what it is.
Bricks is a small independent 4-star in Avlabari whose strongest selling point is location: Old Tbilisi sights and the metro are close, and guests repeatedly praise the terrace views. We'd consider it for a sightseeing-heavy trip rather than a hotel-centered break. Booking.com and Expedia guests generally rate cleanliness and staff positively, although Tripadvisor's much smaller review sample is markedly less enthusiastic.
The compromises are uneven maintenance, traffic noise and a breakfast that divides opinion. Expedia and Tripadvisor reviews describe noisy or ineffective air-conditioning and plumbing problems. One September 2026 Expedia guest reported unreliable hot water, attributed by staff to nearby construction; whether that disruption continues is unconfirmed, so check before booking. We'd skip it for dependable four-star polish or quiet nights, and request a room away from the road.
