We visited Tbilisi, Batumi and last Kutaisi and it was by far the best accomodation we had in Georgia. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Although the bathroom was on the hallway, it had everything you needed. The location was very good, close to restaurants and shops.

The best option

Nice hostel-cheap-clean-good manager-helpful-they help me to find what I was looking for, he recommend me a taxi driver Nikolay, he really helped me and his price is very good , you can take him wherever you need and he get very suitable price


The hotel stayed central location of Kutaisi. You can find easily. Price & quality is really good. there are many room option. Generally rooms are wide and authentic. Bed quality is not so good but it is ok. breakfast is also good. floor, bathroom are clean. owner's welcome gitf (red wine) is really perfect. You can get drunk in this hostel. In addition, free airport transfer option is also good.

amazing hotel and owner

I would love to give this hostel a high rating. The owner is very friendly and hospitable, and drove us to the airport in the middle of the night. The rooms are clean, and look brand new. I was impressed with the shiny marble floor of the whole place. Clearly a lot of investments have been made to make this a nice place.

That being said, Elma Hostel has some fundamental flaws that prevent it from attaining a better than average rating. There is only one small, dimly lit bathroom for 6 or so rooms. With no separate toilet, this can be very uncomfortable. The shower in the bathroom was leaking heavily, and the temperature of the water oscillated between tepid and scalding hot. When we visited there were a lot of mosquitoes, and nothing had been installed to keep them out of the room. The balcony door of our room had a big window but no curtains, making sleeping in an impossibility. 

These flaws could be fixed with a relatively modest investment, and I sincerely hope that the owner will proceed to fix them. That could make Elma Hostel a very pleasant accommodation. As it stands, it's biggest pros are the proximity to the main bus station (not near the city centre) and the free airport transfer, making it a viable option for an overnight stay.

Great effort but with serious flaws

I wonder what people are amazed at when reviewing this hostel, yes the hosts are really nice but it's not enough for a good stay. At first sight the rooms look well-furnished but the bed was hard as a rock, I could feel all the springs of the mattress. It was windy during our stay and something outside was too noisy to get a good sleep. The entrance to the house is in construction and very strange and unattractive. Bathroom is shared and not very clean. Breakfast very poor with cheap sausages and hard boiled eggs. 
It could only be OK for budget travelers or the central location.
