Best place to hosting at Mestia!

That is probably a best hotel at the heart of Svaneti - Mestia. We found a luxury 2-rooms apartment and incredible service with highly professional team. The warm family service and boutique apartments, with incredible local authentic cousin. Absolutely highly recommended!

Very disappointed

Reviewed By Elke-V36

I honestly don't understand where these great reviews come from. We camped in the garden - the next dat he tried to charge us for 2 diners and 2 breakfasts, which we didn't have and 40gel for camping, which is a LOT. After a, not very pleasant,discussion, he deducted the diners and breakfast. We didn't find the guy welcoming at all. The location and view is great, no doubt about that, but we had the same view at guesthouse shuan (his neighbour), but with much better service! (And cleaner bathroom).

Breakfast for only 15 GEL

Reviewed By ingzone

We were staying in Teo's Guest House who referred us to Keti Margiani Guest House that offers breakfast for only 15 lari per person. One young lady who speaks English fluently welcomed us with warmth and even offered to see the terrace for the beautiful morning view of Mestia. Her mother cooked the fresh delicious food, we could not believe that she prepared a LOT that we could barely finish. What was left in the table she insisted for us to take away. Truly love the hospitality here compared to Tbilisi.

Highlight of our Georgia trip

Reviewed By john z

Can't say enough good things about this hotel. The only really comfortable and well-run place to stay in Mazeri, a quiet alternative to touristy Mestia and disappointingly dirty Ushguli. Location is superb with views to Mount Ushba and the southern Caucasus range. The lovely cook Temona kept producing fresh bread every day and lovely cakes which she forced upon us. Huge packed lunches kept us going on day hikes. Dinners were devine and room extremely comfortable. We stayed three days, spent a night in Mestia and came back for another four. Mazeri being superior in every way for scenery and the amount of day hikes. Would recommend Mount Mazeri and the ruins of Gul village and well as meadow bashing to the villages below Mazeri. Only hiccup was the driver not turning up to take us to Mestia for the early morning bus but we made it anyway.

A welcoming place in Mestia

Reviewed By nrvs

I stayed at Elite House for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's located very close to the center of town, but it's away from the main street with most vehicle traffic so it's pretty quiet. My room and bed were comfortable and I enjoyed the balcony overlooking some smaller mountains on the edge of town. My only complaint about the room is that there was a bit of a smell from the bathroom drains, but this isn't something that can be fixed without completely redoing the building's plumbing. The best part about Elite House is Marina, the person you'll see most often. She absolutely wants to make sure your stay in Svaneti is great. She cooks a huge breakfast (15 GEL, totally worth it) and showed me where I could do my laundry (15 GEL as well—AND they have a dryer). She was also able to call a guy she knew to drive me in his 4x4 for a day trip to Ushguli. Marina doesn't speak English, but I had no trouble communicating with her using Google Translate and gestures. There are probably a hundred guesthouses and hotels in Mestia, but I am really glad I chose to stay at Elite House.

Good shower but predictable food

Reviewed By BoehmBawerk

Amid a tough walking tour, the shower and relative comfort of this place were most welcome – especially after a subprime option the previous evening in Becho (not on Tripadvisor). That said, the food, while decent enough, lacked flair and was cast into shadow by that of other hotels in Georgia. Puppies sitting in a box awaited us on our return one evening while nearby, a foal suckled her mother and piglets cavorted – so there is character here and a short cut will take walkers into the centre of Mestia in a jiffy.

Warmhearted family welcome in a nice modern hotel

Reviewed By Mel_in_Paris

This lovely, family owned and run hotel was a great discovery. The rooms are spotlessly clean, modern, the view onto the river and Mestia by day and night very beautiful (I counted 22 towers visible from our balcony!!). If you opt for the food (dinner, breakfast...) you will be very glad you did, everything is homemade, bread, soups, all dishes, excellent jams from Georgian fruit etc and very abundant. The family will also arrange transportation for you, all extremely corteous, professional and super friendly. We had stayed before our trek, our luggage and car were kept during our absence. We loved the stay and very much enjoyed the warmhearted hospitality of this lovely family. Thank you all very much again and hope to see you next time!!!
