Hotel London 1889 & Casino

Beautiful hotel located right at the old town next to bars, restaurants and shops all in walking distance. Although central, the area is quiet. No casinos or clubs around if that’s what you’re looking for. The room was not big (two double beds) but fully renovated with a small balcony and a modern bathroom. Overall we really liked it and will come back!

The hotel (Previously known as The Divan hotel) is in a great location, walking distance from many tourist attractions. The breakfast is very good. The reception is extremely nice and helpful with anything we asked. Rooms are very nice, at least our room was. The cleaning service of the rooms is slow and not that great. Nice spa with sauna and option for massages and facials. The hotel also has a casino, I didn’t go in so I’m not sure how is it. I highly recommend the hotel.

This hotel, previously known as Divan, was once a luxury. Unfortunately, the new version falls far short of that standard, despite maintaining the same high price point. My stay was far from pleasant. The noise in the room was a major issue. The fan of air-conditioning was too noisy, with no difference whether set to high or low speed. You have to choose between a comfortable room temperature with noise or a quiet but cold room. Additionally, the bathroom was very cold as it lacked any heating—an oversight that made using the bathroom unpleasant. The view from the window was far from appealing. It’s a shame for a property located in Old Batumi. If you’re expecting a charming boutique hotel in a romantic, old-town setting, this is not it. If you’re looking for luxury, you won’t find it here either. Breakfast is decent, but it didn’t meet the expectations one might have for a hotel of this price. The only real positive aspect of my stay was the polite staff, who did their best despite the hotel’s shortcomings. Overall, I was deeply disappointed.
