Elegance East Hotel vs Similar Hotels

Rooms are stylish and comfortable overall, but some guests noted issues: carpeted floors considered suboptimal for hygiene and a shower cabin appearing aged and in need of renovation.

Rooms met needs (e.g., three separate beds) and had balconies, but several guests noted the hotel is older and rooms could use renovation; one check-in error impacted room assignment.

Mixed: some rooms comfortable and well-sized, while others were described as old, small, worn, or with maintenance issues (peeling wallpaper, flickering lights, broken AC).

Mixed comments: rooms can be small, some lack amenities (no fridge, only one key card), curtains not fully darkening and thin walls causing noise—still acceptable overall for a boutique hotel.
