Arka Hotel

We stayed here a few nights on our road-trip south and just loved the hotel! You can see that a lot of effort is put in details and perfect service, and just had a wonderful experience. 1. Location: The hotel is right in the center, next to restaurants, shops, etc. 2. Hotel grounds: Everything is very clean, there is a very good Georgian Restaurant on the ground floor (they also offer room service) and a good Asian fusion place on the rooftop (great food and cocktails). The Georgian Restaurant also serves a buffet breakfast/brunch. Parking is available for a fee right behind the hotel. 3. Rooms: We got the Premier room (one category up from standard) and the room was very spacious and comfortable! Very clean, carpeted, perfect air condition (worked very well, you can get a nice cold climate going), comfortable king size bed, 2 fluffy pillows each, good quality comforter and good thread count quality bedsheets. Coffee/tea station, mini-bar is there as well. Plenty of storage (cupboards etc). The bathroom has a large walk in shower, bathrobes, amenities from Zielinski & Rozen (soap, lotion, shampoo and shower gel). The only thing is that our shower flooded a bit in the bathroom, but that may be a fixable problem). Very lovely details such as the do not disturb or clean up hangers are cute plush bunnies! Very friendly room service and cleaning. We got a nice view from our room onto the city! 4. Pet friendly: We travelled with our 2 pet rabbits and the hotel was very welcoming to pets! Our rabbits are very clean and they appreciated the hotel also very much. 5. Price: So of course this is not a budget hotel, but we think it is very worth the price. The service is outstanding and you do feel like in a boutique hotel and not in a large chain that lost it's touch for details and customer happiness. I would stay at this hotel even just to enjoy the hotel itself, to relax and take in the atmosphere, restaurants, etc.
