Elle Boutique Hotel

Good

Located in my favorite neighborhood and street in Tbilisi, one block from the Marjanishvili Metro subway station, which gets you all over the city quickly for 1 lari. It is quiet because it is hidden away in a courtyard with no traffic, but that means that it is not visible from the street, so hard to find the first time. They share their street number with many others, and have no sign for the hotel on Agmashenebeli Ave. The courtyard is behind the swank New Tiflis Hotel, so take the little driveway next to it, and then take the first left. The reception staff have decent English, and try to help. Both of the rooms I have had there have been tiny, smaller than many ship cabins. The bathrooms have been large, in lovely white "marble", but the shower plumbing has been broken in both. Bed accessible from only one side, squeezed between walls. Chairs uncomfortable. Nothing hot at breakfast, very disappointing. Coffee poor. No kettles or microwaves in rooms. They never responded to my special request on my Hotels.com reservation, nor to my follow-up message.

The hotel is off the main street facing a park. It is very quiet. Within a walking distance from Old Tbilisi - about 20 minutes. There is a metro station 5 minutes away from the hotel if you don't like walking. There are plenty of restaurants around. The rooms are small, but very clean and comfortable. Breakast was very delicious and diverse. And the staff at the reception were super friendly and accomodating with all the needs. I would definitely stay there again.

Extraordinary! Very friendly and cooperative staff, super clean and lovely ambiance.

Good location, but not really "boutique". As this is a four star house: Rooms are rather small with insufficient space to open a suitcase properly or store clothes. Shower are in the bathroom, which is always an inconvenience as the while bath is obviously wet afterwards for a while. WLAN was mediocre at best and the breakfast buffet not worth mentioning.
