Of the three cities we visited in Georgia (Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi), staying in Batumi, in Kattalei, was the most pleasant. It's nice to climb the marble stairs, and it's nice to sleep on fresh, expensive linens. The parquet in the room did not creak, which is also nice. The bathroom is clean, everything is working, nothing is falling off. At the reception, chacha and wine are 20 and 10 lari each (for a liter eggplant, it seems). There is a 24-hour supermarket Spar nearby.
One morning, when my wife was waiting for me downstairs, the innkeeper invited her, and then me, to join the tea party, and treated me to self-made halva (it resembles shortbread pastry, made from fried flour and sugar). He treated us heartily, insisted that we eat the entire rather large container of halva that he had with him. When he offered coffee, he clarified: "Do you like Nescafe or which one are we drinking?" While we were helping ourselves, we talked for a living. Of course, such sincere hospitality is also pleasant.
The area, however, is a party area, and until late at night you can hear people rejoicing and having fun. But our windows faced Abashidze Street (I attached the view from the window to the review), and the muezzin was practically inaudible. There's a mosque nearby, and friends who settled closer to it woke up at 6:30 (5:30 Moscow time). So for those who like to stay up late and get up late, the Cattalea is just the thing.
Clean, cozy, in-room shower facilities, slippers, hairdryer, kettle. One of the disadvantages is that the windows overlook the party street, loud music until late at night, dogs barking in the morning. On the plus side, each room has heating, if you ask, they will turn on the battery.
