Elea Old Tbilisi Hotel

Elea Old Tbilisi Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Elea Old Tbilisi Hotel on Nino Chkheidze Street, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. This four-star gem sits right in the heart of Chugureti, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — there’s a reason couples give it a 9.6 rating. The building itself has this wonderful blend of traditional Georgian architecture with modern touches that doesn’t feel forced or touristy.

The Neighborhood Advantage

What I love about this spot is how authentically Tbilisi it feels while still being incredibly walkable to everything you want to see. You’re literally in the best-rated area of the city (they’ve got a 9.4 location score to prove it), but it’s not one of those sterile tourist zones. The narrow cobblestone streets around here are lined with traditional balconies, and you’ll find yourself wandering past local wine bars and small galleries that most visitors never discover. The sulfur baths are just a short stroll away, and the cable car to Narikala Fortress is close enough that you can walk there in about ten minutes.

Your Room Experience

The room I stayed in was thoughtfully designed — not huge, but everything felt intentional and well-placed. The windows opened up to views of either the old city rooftops or the charming street below, and there’s something really satisfying about falling asleep to the gentle sounds of evening conversations drifting up from the cafés. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I mean, after a day of exploring those hilly streets, you need proper rest), and the bathrooms are modern without losing that Georgian character.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here is actually worth getting up for, which isn’t something I say lightly. They do both continental and buffet options, and the spread includes some lovely Georgian touches alongside the usual suspects. The khachapuri alone makes it worthwhile — it’s clearly made fresh, not some reheated tourist version. You know what really impressed me though? The coffee is properly strong, and they seem to understand that travelers need real fuel for a day of sightseeing, not just pastries and fruit.

Why Guests Love It

The staff here genuinely seems to care about your experience, and they know their city well enough to give you recommendations that go beyond the obvious tourist spots. Plus, there’s free parking available, which is honestly a godsend if you’re planning to explore beyond Tbilisi — Georgia’s wine regions are calling, after all. The 9.1 overall rating isn’t just numbers on a screen; it reflects how this place manages to feel both comfortable and authentically Georgian. It’s the kind of hotel where you’ll find yourself lingering in the lobby with a glass of wine, planning tomorrow’s adventures while soaking in the atmosphere of old Tbilisi right outside your door.

• Uri from Israel (10/10)

  We were scheduled for another place which we didn't like. As it was our last day in Georgia, I decided that I want to leave with a good taste, so I immediately booked another place that looked good – Elea Old Tbilisi Hotel (this one), and I'm so glad we did! Friendly staff, comfort rooms, great breakfast.. everything was perfect. This is how we wanted to remember Georgia.
