Is it worth staying in the ORBI apartment towers in Batumi during summer, or are the elevator lines too bad?

From messages by 3 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 56 days ago

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.

What the community said

Residents report that summer at ORBI is not as bad as feared: elevator waits happen only in August and rarely exceed 2 minutes. Another minor downside is occasional noise around midnight when people shout from balconies, but overall the pros of staying outweigh the cons.
