I had a great time at Elia Boutique Hostel & Apart-Hotel! The decor is stunning and really gives it a unique vibe, plus Eliana and the staff were super helpful throughout my stay. However, the hostel's location is a bit of a trek from the old town, which might be tricky for shorter visits. I also found the dorm setup a little less private than I expected. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience!

My stay at Elia Boutique Hostel was a mixed bag. While I really appreciated the stunning decor and comfortable beds, I found the location a bit inconvenient for quick access to the old town.

However, the lack of air conditioning in the rooms during a heatwave was quite uncomfortable.
