Elia Boutique Hostel & Apart-Hotel

Stayed for one night, but not for the first time and I highly recommend it. The bed is comfortable, the sheets are fresh, and I slept really well. That's always my main concern when I travel alone. And the place is spotless! The host is wonderful — helpful, attentive, always ready to answer any question. Quiet neighbourhood, not far from the centre, plenty of places to eat nearby, and the cathedral is just around the corner. Felt calm and safe the whole time. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kindness and warm hospitality during my stay.I truly enjoyed my time at the hostel, and your friendliness made me feel at home from the first moment.I really appreciate your help, positive energy, and the lovely atmosphere you created.Wishing you all the best, and I hope to visit again someday!

Perfect stay. The place is beautiful and the host is very friendly and accommodating. I’ll stay here next time I’m in Tbilisi for sure

The stay has easily been one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, ELIA made the place feel less like a hostel and more like a home. She is incredibly helpful, warm, and always there whenever you need anything - whether it’s recommendations around the city, help with laundry, or even personal guidance. Her energy and aura genuinely make a difference and create such a welcoming atmosphere for everyone staying here. If you’re looking for a place with comfor...

This is by far the most charming and cleanest hostel I've been to. Location is a walking distance from the main sites but still quiet and tucked away. Showers and toilets are always clean. The beds, I don't know what it is but they are the comfiest beds ever.

This hostel was amazing, I highly recommend staying here. I felt really welcomed by Elia here. She explained everything there is to do here very clearly. The hostel itself also has a very nice vibe. I met a lot of nice people here. There are also a lot of cats, so that's a plus too.

Een prachtig ingericht hostel met goede stapelbedden voorzien van een leeslampje, stopcontacten en een gordijntje. Ik heb de sfeer een 10 gegeven omdat alle faciliteiten om contact te leggen aanwezig zijn (zoals een gemeenschappelijke ruimte, activiteiten en een keuken), maar ik heb het niet echt kunnen testen omdat ik een van de weinige gasten was.

This hostel is a real gem! It's made with such attention and care, you feel at home right away. The facilities are really good. There are enough toilets and showers, the kitchen is well equipped. The beds have good curtains that give a lot of privacy. But most of all; the place has a really good atmosphere and the owner really cares about her guests.

met a lot of nice people here, the place is very unique and elian will make you instantly feel at home. great if you are a cat lover. can only recommend!!

Ich hatte einen sehr guten Aufenthalt in diesem Hostel in Tiflis und würde definitiv wiederkommen. Die Lage ist top – viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurants und die Altstadt sind schnell erreichbar. Das Personal war durchgehend freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man bekommt gute Tipps und fühlt sich direkt willkommen. Das macht den Aufenthalt deutlich angenehmer. Die Zimmer und Gemeinschaftsbereiche waren sauber und gemütlich. Es ist kein Luxus, aber genau das, was man als Reisender braucht.

Cozy and friendly, felt truly at home at this beautiful property. Elia is amazing, and extremely hospitable. Great place for solo travelers, extremely fun nights at the kitchen talking eith people from all pver the world.

Feels like home. Booked 3 days, stayed 2 months. Cozy atmosphere, very clean and well maintained. The owner (“mother”) creates a warm, welcoming vibe. Staff are caring, share local advice, and even invite guests to meals to experience the culture. Great service: laundry, extra blankets, and quality local tea. Perfect place for authentic hospitality and comfort.

I stayed 4 nights in Jan, No staff only the owner who should be doing everything. No changing bed sheets, stayed 4 nights with the same sheets, no cleaning for hostel. What pissed me the most is that the hostel was freezing, the main heaters are off and small ones are working and not all the time as it should be. It was freezing and snowing outside and imagine having a shower in a freezing shower. I wouldn't recommend the place.

Η Έλια είναι μια υπέροχη και φροντιστική οικοδέσποινα. Σε καλωσορίζει σε αυτό το κατάλυμα και σε κάνει να νιώθεις σαν στο σπίτι σου. Μάλιστα, επέκτεινα τη διαμονή μου για ένα ακόμη βράδυ, καθώς ένιωθα ασφαλής και άνετα εδώ ως νεότερος ταξιδιώτης. Υπάρχουν γάτες στο λόμπι, οι ...

okay so i booked this place for like 3-4 days max. ended up staying 20+ days. that should tell you something right there. elia is just... different? like she actually cares about hospitality in a way that feels real, not performative. she's genuinely invested in making sure you feel good, and it shows in everything—from how she sets up the space to how she checks in on you without being intrusive. the cat situation 😸 full transparency: i was NOT a cat person before this. like at all. but ...

Best hostel experience ever!! 🤩 hostess very kind and super helpful.

This was one of the best hostels that I have ever stayed. The host was very friendly and very understanding. Such a beautiful place. You can literally see the work she has put into the place. It's very near from most tourist places in Tbilisi.

The hostel was great! It was so cosy and Elia is truly wonderful. I had a great time there, it’s like staying in a living room:)

Awesome vibe

It looked quite authentic and beautiful in the photos. I thought the common areas would be social and convenient. Common areas can be less so. It's a fairly large hostel with many rooms. If your room doesn't match the photos or doesn't have windows, there are brighter, cleaner rooms in the back. Because it's so large and carpeted, it feels cozy, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're sensitive to dust. There's also a heating issue.
