Old Metekhi Hotel 

The hotel is a 5-10 minutes walk from Avlabari Metro Station, where bus 337 to/from the airport stops. The Avlabari neighbourhood is tourist friendly (with supermarket, restaurants, ATMs and money changers), safe and quiet at night, and far from the protest area (Rustaveli). Rike Park, the cable car to Mother Georgia, the old town and the sulphur baths are all within 10 minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel itself is situated along the river. An upgrade from city view to river view is highly worth the additional price because from your room's private balcony, you will get a spectacular view of the old town across the river. (For those with city view rooms, you can still see a part of the river from a small public balcony, or from the breakfast room.) My room is clean, quiet and comfortable. The room is equipped with mini-fridge, small kettle, basic toiletries, and free wifi. (My room is close to the reception so the wifi in my room is stable and fast.) Breakfast consists of standard items (bread, cheese, ham, coffee, tea, juices), as well as hot porridge, eggs, and a few unique salads. I will come here again if I visit Tbilisi again.
