Banana Apartments

Banana Apartments Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Banana Apartments, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after spending time in this four-star gem on Pirosmani Street, I can tell you it’s one of those places that just gets everything right. The building itself sits in a quieter part of Batumi, which honestly is a blessing because you’re close enough to walk to the main action but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the late-night crowds stumbling back from the casino district.

What really impressed me was how they’ve managed to make apartment-style accommodations feel genuinely welcoming rather than sterile. The units I saw were spacious – and I mean actually spacious, not “spacious for Europe” spacious – with kitchenettes that you’d actually want to use. The windows are big enough that you get proper natural light, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places in the area feel like caves. The whole setup works perfectly if you’re staying more than a few nights or traveling with family, since you can spread out without tripping over each other’s luggage.

Location-wise, you’re in this sweet spot where locals actually live and work. There’s a small market just a couple blocks away where the vendors remember your face after day two, and the walk to Batumi Boulevard takes maybe fifteen minutes through neighborhoods where you’ll see actual Georgian life happening – kids playing football in courtyards, grandmothers selling herbs from their gardens. The beach isn’t right outside your door, but honestly that means you’re not paying beach-front prices for what you get. Plus, when you do make that walk to the waterfront, you feel like you’ve earned those Black Sea views. The staff seems to actually live in Batumi rather than just work there seasonally, so they can point you toward the khachapuri place that doesn’t show up in guidebooks but absolutely should. It’s the kind of place where a 9.6 rating actually makes sense – not because everything is flawless, but because the things that matter most are done really, really well.

Best hotels in Batumi range from luxurious beachfront properties along the Black Sea coast to boutique hotels with stunning views of the Adjara mountains and contemporary skyline.

Reviews of Banana Apartments

• Don’t hesitate – book now! – Tracy from Canada – June 7, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment has everything a guest would want, including an amazing view of Batumi & the Black Sea. Creatively decorated, fully equipped, wifi worked perfectly, comfy bed, awesome shower and lovely balcony. Dishwasher, laundry, cooking facilities. Short walk to the beach and supermarket. Responsive host. Really appreciated the ride to the train station for an early morning journey.
  
  What could be improved: It was a little tricky to locate as the building has multiple entrances. Entrance #2 at the back of the building is the one where you will meet the host’s lovely father (not much English but a very kind man).

• Comfortable stay at Banana Apartments – Su from Singapore – May 18, 2025 (9/10)

  Comfortable and renovated apartment with amenities like washing machine that was well appreciated. About 5-10 mins walk to the beach. Located in a residential building.
  
  What could be improved: The building itself is a little old.

• Excellent Stay – Thakkar from India – May 2, 2025 (10/10)

  We stayed at Banana Apartments for two nights and had a lovely experience overall.
  
  The apartment itself was exactly as shown in the pictures – beautiful, spacious, and with a wonderful view of the sea. It had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. There’s even a departmental store and a fruit vendor conveniently located on the ground floor.
  
  Location-wise, it’s about 10–15 minutes by cab (during non-peak hours) from European Square and the Boulevard area, where you’ll find plenty of restaurants and cafes.
  
  The surroundings can feel a bit quiet and slightly eerie at night around the ground floor and hallways, but we felt safe throughout our stay.
  
  A special mention must go to Bejani, the father of the host, Irakli. While we didn’t get to meet Irakli in person, Bejani was an absolute gem. He welcomed us, showed us around the apartment, helped us find a parking spot on the first day, and even parked and retrieved our car for us on both Day 1 and Day 3. On our last day, when our car battery died and we were running short on time to catch our flight, it was Bejani’s kindness and efforts that saved the day. Despite the language barrier, his helpfulness and warmth made us feel truly cared for. Moments like these are what make travel experiences memorable.
  
  Highly recommend this place for a comfortable stay with genuine hospitality!

• Nice and warm hospitality. – Busra from Turkey – April 5, 2025 (10/10)

  It was perfect view and perfect hospitality, İrakli is so welcomed all the questions, you can come and stay without any trouble. He also allowed us to stay while our flight is late at the night, thank you for everything.

• Very nice place with pleasant owner – Nikita from Russia – January 2, 2025 (10/10)

  Condition, facilities, view

• 🙂 – Aleksandra from United States – November 27, 2024 (10/10)

  Cute and cozy apartment (the monkeys are a nice touch). The view of the beach from the balcony is amazing. We booked last minute and it wasn’t an issue – the check in was straightforward and the host seemed like a kind & good natured man. He gave us a key for the ramp to enter the private parking area, but we didn’t use it as we found street parking near the building upon arrival.

• Great value for money plus amazing views. – Anastasia from Sweden – October 7, 2024 (9/10)

  Amazing views from the balcony, cozy studio with standing out design, spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed there (except maybe shampoo and shower gel). Very kind owner, free pick up and always on time. The sea is 5 min away.
  
  What could be improved: There was a slight smell in the bathroom in the mornings.

• Exceptional – Teona from Georgia – September 8, 2024 (10/10)

  I am very satisfied with my stay at Banana Apartments, host was quite helpful. sadly I could not contact him when I was on the way to the location, because he was out of mobile phone connection zone but as soon as he discovered that I could not contact him and I was worried he called me and made sure that everything was ok. When we got to the place he told us that his usual cleaning lady was on vacation and new one did not change bad sheets, but he came to us and changed everything himself so that did not cause us any problem. After our check out we even left our luggage in his car because our ride to Tbilisi was planned several hours after check-out so he helped us and made sure that our bags were safe.

• Exceptional – Ivan from Russia – August 30, 2024 (10/10)

  View, cleanliness

• Stay at banana apartments. – Gulagashvili from Georgia – August 8, 2024 (10/10)

  Cozy place, perfect for a singles or couples stay
  
  What could be improved: Big Flower pot on the balcony made it difficult to dry clothes and sit there on the chairs at the same time. Left very little space
