Introduction: Arrival & First Impressions

Arriving in Batumi gave me that familiar rush of excitement — sea breeze, palm-lined boulevards, a mixture of modern architecture and old-town charm. When I checked into Gigi Apartments on Javakhishvili Street 32, I was looking for a place that felt more like “living in the city” than “just staying overnight”.

Stepping into my apartment, I found a living-room, kitchen, balcony, and the comfort of a home base. The location felt central yet quiet enough for restful nights. Over the next few days I discovered that this stay offered the perfect blend: flexibility of an apartment, access to city life, and ease for both beach and explorations.

About Gigi Apartments

Gigi Apartments is not a large hotel but rather a well-reviewed apartment-style property in Batumi. According to the listing:

• It offers free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, balcony, and great guest reviews for location (9.5/10) and cleanliness. (Booking.com)
• Guests highlight the central location (within walking distance of many cafés, shops and the beach) and the quiet night environment. (Booking.com)
• Because it’s apartment style, it gives more space and self-catering flexibility, which many travellers appreciate. (Tripadvisor)

In other words: if your stay in Batumi involves exploring, cooking a little, feeling like a city-resident rather than just a hotel guest, Gigi Apartments is a solid pick.

Rooms & Comfort: My Personal Experience

When I walked into my one-bedroom apartment at Gigi, I was greeted with a living area, sofa, table, kitchen with fridge and stove, a balcony with view toward the city/side street, and comfortable bedroom. The Wi-Fi worked well, the air-conditioning kept things cool even in warm weather, and the overall ambiance was calm.

Things I especially liked:

• The kitchenette: I appreciated being able to pick up fresh bread or fruit and have a relaxed breakfast in the apartment rather than always eating out.
• The balcony and view: On waking I stepped out for a coffee, looked at the city slowly emerging, and felt a sense of “this is my space”.
• The location-versus-price: Considering the value, I felt this stay gave more flexibility than a standard hotel. Guests echo that sentiment: “The apartment has all you need … quiet during the night, but still centrally located.” (Booking.com)
• The quiet despite centrality: One review said the apartment is 12-15 minutes walk from the sea yet in a calm building. (Booking.com)

Things to be aware of:

• Because it’s an apartment building, amenities such as large hotel lobby, 24-hour room-service, or large spa may not be present in the same way.
• The view and floor level may vary — if you want a sea or top-floor view, check the unit.
• If your arrival is late or you have large luggage, check how accessible the apartment is (elevator vs stairs).

Overall, I found it very comfortable and convenient for a city-stay in Batumi.

Dining & Self-Catering Options

One of the major benefits of staying at Gigi Apartments is the ability to self-cater a bit, while still being near local dining.

Breakfast & Kitchen-Use

I used the kitchen to make coffee and breakfast on my first morning, which gave a slower start to the day and a relaxed vibe. The apartment listing confirms full kitchen facilities: fridge, cooker/stove, utensils. (Booking.com)

Nearby Restaurants & Cafés

Because I was centrally located, I could easily walk to local cafés for lunch or dinner: Georgian cuisine, fresh seafood by the sea, cosy cafés in the old town. One evening I enjoyed a seaside dinner, walked back to the flat, and felt pleased to have both city life and a home-base together.

My Tip

If you’re staying 3+ nights, plan for one or two self-catered meals: pick up local produce or bread in the morning, have a relaxed lunch in the apartment, then head out for evening. It saves cost and gives rhythm to your stay. Also, ask the host for local supermarket/fresh-market directions — very helpful.

I spent one afternoon in Batumi’s old town: wandering alleys, discovering small cafés, checking modern architecture. The location of Gigi Apartments made this exploration seamless.

Because I stayed in the city zone, I could wander to a local restaurant instead of being limited to resorts. I tried Georgian dishes, sat with locals, heard city hum – all part of the experience.
