In Batumi, should you book an apartment remotely or stay in a hotel first and look for a long-term rental in person?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago
TL;DR
Travelers in Batumi often recommend booking a hotel for the first few days or 1–2 weeks, then viewing apartments in person before committing long term. For stays under a week, a hotel is practical; for two weeks or more, an apartment in areas like Old Town is usually better value with similar comfort.
What the community said
For a longer stay in Batumi, one practical approach is to book a hotel for about two weeks and use that time to visit apartments in person before signing a long-term rental.

For a short trip of less than a week, travelers tend to choose a hotel because it saves time and avoids apartment hunting after arrival.

For around a 2-week stay, an apartment is seen as the better-value option: comfort is often similar to a hotel, but the price is usually lower. Old Town Batumi was mentioned as an example area.
