5-Star Hotels in Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Georgia

You can definitely relieve the fatigue of trekking in the main area by swimming in the hotel... The location is a bit out of the way, but the price is cheap and the breakfast is good.

5 star for facilities, 3 star for service. This lodge has great perks (outdoor Jacuzzi, Sauna, Indoor pool) and this makes it one of the best lodges out in Gudauri. My highlight was using the hot jacuzzi at 9 AM in the morning when it started snowing. The privilege of hot water out in the open was amazing. Breakfast is also decent but live station costs 10 LARI (for e.g Omelette) which came as a surprise to me. A-la-carte menu is well stocked. I especially liked the Shkmeruli in garlic sauce. These perks are from 8 AM - 11 PM. However, I didn't quite appreciate the service to be honest in general which is why I gave it a low rating. I came during an off season (once the ski season stopped). There were no smiles exchanged at either the reception, restaurant or the house keeping. One would argue that with fewer guests, the quality of service would increase but this instead went downwards. It felt borderline rude as in our country we treat guests with a smile and make sure they feel welcome regardless of it being an off/on season. The only pleasantries we could exchange with were with a middle aged Israeli couple who we met at the pool. Other than that the lodge was pretty much dead in April/May. Our only recourse was to spend the day outside, get back by 6 pm, use the facilities until 10 and then crash to bed.

The facilities in the hotel are simple, but the location is close to skiing The restaurant and lobby scenery is not bad.

As this hotel seems to be geared mainly toward group tourists, the breakfast was exactly the same every day during my 3-night stay. I stayed in Room 150 for three nights, and I could not sleep properly because of the streetlight outside. The blackout curtains did not fully close, allowing light to enter the room as shown in the photo below. For a short stay of one or two nights, this may not be a major issue. However, for guests staying longer than two nights, I would not recommend this hotel. Other than the view, I did not feel particularly comfortable or well-rested during my stay.

Good location and Facilities inside hotel. Good breakfast option. But very small room size
