Nice
luxury
hotel
with
excellent
location;
but
with
discriminating
personnel
!
PROS:
-
Excellent
location
near
the
Central
Park
of
Borjomi
(as
a
hotel
guest,
free
access
included
to
the
park
+
sulphur
baths
–not
worth
going–)
-
We
had
a
spacious
room
in
the
left
round
tower
of
the
main
building,
with
nice
light
and
direct
180°
view
on
the
river
-
Good
equipment
of
the
spa
(big
swimming-pool,
nice
sauna-hanmam
area)
-
Excellent
food
at
the
restaurant
for
dinner,
good
and
generous
breakfast
buffet
-
Spa
treatment:
the
geothermal
stones
massage
is
really
worth
the
price
(250
GEL
/
88
€
for
60
mn)
and
made
professionally
CONS:
-
DISCRIMINATION
BASED
ON
THE
APPEARANCE/RACE
?:
we
arrived
on
foot
with
our
backpacks
(we
travelled
10
days
before
on
our
own)
at
the
gate
entrance
of
the
hotel
park:
a
staff
member
asked
us
“Where
are
you
going
?”:
we
answered
that
we
had
2
nights
booked;
when
asking
why
this
question,
the
staff
member
told
us
“Because
you
are
not
looking
like
someone
who
would
stay
here”.
So
this
means
that
clients
cannot
have
a
backpack
as
a
luggage
?
and
that
clients
cannot
walk
to
come
to
the
hotel
?
or
worse,
maybe
because
I
am
Asian
and
that
the
staff
is
racist
?
That
is
absolutely
UNACCEPTABLE
for
a
5
star
hotel.
-
Excellent
food,
but
the
organisation
of
service
was
poor:
we
waited
20
mn
for
just
a
glass
of
wine,
and
then
we
had
to
fetch
it
by
ourselves.
Lots
of
staff
at
the
restaurant
and
bar,
but
there
seems
to
be
no
coordination
between
them.
-
Spa
way
too
noisy:
many
children
left
playing
and
jumping
in
the
swimming
pool
without
parents
watch
!
-
Sewage
smell
in
the
shower
cabin
