About
The distinctive, luxurious and elegant place in the heart of Old Tbilisi, once again ambitiously looking and bubbling over Abanotubani. The legendary “Colorful bath“ is a renewed look of centuries-old history. Located at the eastern bank of the Mtkvari River at the foot of Narikala fort across Metekhisubani, Abanotubani is an important historic part of the city — the place, where according to a legend the King of Iberia, Vakhtang Gorgasali’s falcon fell, leading to a discovery of the hot springs and, subsequently, to founding of a new capital.

    Super-cool and relaxing bath experience.
    This was a very easy and pleasant experience in the best looking baths in Tbilisi. Wewent for Room 2, and one of us opted for the exfoliating scrub, which was superb. The room was moderately pricey, but worth it for the experience, but take your own towel and don't bother with slippers - the room has wet and dry areas.

    Great Experience
    We hired a bath for two, water was very hot but if you ask they can adjust it and lower the temperature. Best part was the scrub which lasted about 15 mins. Not really a massage but great experience and well worth trying for 20 GEL extra.

    Great experience
    We visited Chreli Abano Sulphur bath during out trip to Tbilisi. On recommendations from the tour guide, we made an online reservation, a day in advance. The booking process was smooth, and help saved us a lot of time. We opted for a couple room that costed us 100 Laari. The room was good and clean. They have a changing room, Hot pool and a cold shower. You can also order for few foods and drink along with the sulphur bath. It is advisable that you take a cold shower after every 10 minutes of hot sulphur bath. The service is good and surely a worthwhile experience in Tbilisi. You can also opt for a kisi scrub, which takes 10 minutes. You can carry along your towels and slippers or buy them at the reception.

    Unique experience
    It was a fantastic and unique experience. Don't miss the scrub, even though you have to pay a little extra for the scrub glove upon arrival. If I remember rightly it was 10 Lari. I had a ½ hour full body massage after the sulphur bath for 85 Lari. It felt like an hour and was an excellent massage.

3 of us visited this place on October 26,2021 even though they had no customer they made us take the VIP room at $85 USD for one hour by telling us they had no more room available.
The place was dirty and not well kept.
The water was dirty and not hot . After complaining to the management after 30 min they finally send someone to tern the heat on.
The lights for the room were not working and the hair dryer was not working .
Even though they had no customer waiting for the room they made us to leave a bet early.
After complaining to the management about all this issues they did not even offered any apologies or reimbursement.just simply ignored the whole problem
Total wasteof money of and time, please be ware.

My friend and I planned to visit this place when we were in Tbilisi. We booked and paid over the site one of the rooms on September 24. Money has been debited immediately in the amount of 130 GEL ($ 41). On the day of the visit, we received a message to the mail that an error has occurred and we somehow have made a reservation on an early morning when the bath does not work. (How is it possible if the registration was through the official website?). We were offered to choose another time and another day to visit. We have chosen the most suitable time for us from the attached options. When we came to the bath, it turned out that our room was already constructed by other people, since we "answered too long for the message." Although the response with the confirmation of registration followed 10!!!!! minutes after receiving the letter.

It was the last day of our stay in Tbilisi, we demanded a refund. The administration said that within three business days the money will be paid to the bank account. After this time, the money did not receive and we again wrote on an e-mail, where we were reported that the money would be listed within 2-3 weeks. During this period, money was not returned to the account. We contacted the administration with a request to explain the situation.

We got the answer that the money was already transferred and the problem with our local bank. We demanded a confirmation of money transfer (bank receipt / check) for the proceedings with our bank. If the transfer of funds was made it should have had confirmation of this transaction. After that, the administration stopped answering us.

The most overrated bath in the area. Their staff are taking advantage from the tourists. They lack the minimum of Georgia generosity and welcoming culture. They make you pay extra if you’re changing your time stating that “there are no rooms left”, they make you pay for towels, slippers…. And water. The rooms don’t include shampoo, soaps, or lotions.. the minimum in any similar place. Very bad experience !!

This was fab! Heard thst it was a must do. So many baths to choose from but went here after a recommendation and was not disappointed. We had a room for 1 hr could easily have done two. Skin felt so soft after. The sulfur smell is strong outside but nothing when actually in there. We had the scrub for 20 but it was so worth it’s

I laughed at the reviews saying the water was ‘too hot’ - it’s a hot sulphur bath, what do you expect? But really, it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been to several thermal baths in my life, and if you are thinking it will be a similar experience, it isn’t. We are pretty good with hot water but neither my boyfriend nor I could bear to dip a toe or hand in for more than 10 seconds. A half hour of gently splashing ourselves and we still couldn’t get in. I’m sure this temperature can’t be safe and it’s hard to imagine how anyone could tolerate it.

If you still want to try it, we took the smallest size room/bath, and it was perfect for two people.

The exfoliating scrub was good however. What they don’t tell you with the advertised pricing online is that you also have to buy the exfoliating mit, but it’s only about €3.50.

We went for the massage - not the baths. Are experience pertains thus only to the welcome spa experience and it was terrible. The massage rooms are on a corridor right of the street plus the reception area (on the same corridor) is crowded and loud. Massage was average for the price.
