TL;DR
Travelers say ORBI in Batumi can be good value in winter, but in summer the main issue is very long elevator waits. If you booked at Sherif Khimshiashvili 15g near ORBI, it may be quieter than the main towers, but check recent reviews and get host confirmation before free cancellation ends.

The main complaint about ORBI in summer is the elevators. During peak season, residents warn that queues can get very long, turning into a daily inconvenience.

In winter, ORBI is often seen as good value for the location, but in summer the experience changes because the towers get overcrowded. If comfort matters, it is better to choose less popular ORBI buildings or nearby residences on Sherif Khimshiashvili.
