Prices are the first thing most students and parents ask about. This guide sets out what student hostels in Tbilisi cost on StayGeo, how the price changes with sharing type and meals, and how payment works. All prices are the monthly prices shown on each listing at the time of writing, in US dollars. Prices change, so confirm the current amount on the listing before you decide.
What affects the price
- How many students share the room. A room shared by four or more students costs less per person than a double or a single room.
- Whether meals are included. Most StayGeo residences include meals in the monthly price. One residence sells meals as an optional extra.
- The room standard. Private washrooms, central air conditioning and premium finishes raise the price.
- Apartment-style options. Studios and apartments cost more than hostel-style rooms.
Price ranges by sharing type
Across the active residences listed, the monthly prices per student are:
- Four sharing: $300 to $400.
- Triple sharing: $300 to $410.
- Double or twin sharing, meals included: $300 to $490.
- Single or private rooms: from $425 for a standard private room, $600 for a private suite, and about $800 to $820 for single rooms in the premium girls-only residences. Apartment-style single occupancy goes up to $1,050.
The lowest price listed is $260 a month for a two-sharing room in a girls-only residence where meals are optional and cost an extra $120 a month. With meals, the lowest listed prices for a meals-included residence start at $290.

What the yearly cost looks like
Contracts are priced per month, and the yearly total is the monthly price multiplied by twelve. A room at $300 a month comes to $3,600 for the year, and a room at $450 a month comes to $5,400. Check the contract total on each listing, because it is the figure you actually commit to.
How payment works
You pay 20% of the contract total to reserve your room. The remaining 80% is paid before you travel to Georgia, directly to the hostel's bank account, using the account details StayGeo provides. It is not paid at check-in. Every booking includes an accommodation letter for your visa and residence paperwork.
How to choose without overpaying
- Decide your budget per month and per year. Then filter by sharing type.
- Compare meals, not only rent. A lower rent without meals can cost more once you add food.
- Check the distance to your university. A cheaper room far away can cost you time every day.
- Read what is included. Our guide to what student accommodation in Tbilisi includes shows what to ask about.
- Look at the full cost of living. See our cost of living guide for Tbilisi for other monthly costs.
