Hotéis 5-Star em Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Georgia

The hotel was in a great location had good amenities, but if you want to swim make sure you take the tankini or bikini apparently the full body wear isn't allowed.  Breakfast was vast but everything was salty. And frankly no smiles from any staff i think it's georgian thing.

## Positives - The facilities were incredibly clean and excellent, boasting breathtaking views. All the staff were friendly and dignified. The breakfast was also superb. ## Negatives - There was a group party on Friday evening. When we went to the restaurant for dinner, the service seemed to prioritize the party guests, and people were smoking near the outdoor dining tables. We couldn't finish our meal there, so we had to get our food packed and eat it in our room. The outdoor party continued late into the night, preventing us from getting enough rest. ## Other Notes - The hotel's location is quite difficult to access if you're relying on public transportation. A kind male staff member from the hotel gave me a ride there (I still feel bad that I didn't properly express my gratitude. Next time, I will pay his kindness forward to others). ## Tips for Travelers Using Public Transportation Gudauri is very difficult to access via public transport, though marshrutkas (minibuses) will drop you off between Tbilisi and Kazbegi, and vice versa. I traveled from Kazbegi, stayed for one night, and then moved on to Tbilisi the next day. - To get to Gudauri from Kazbegi, just tell the driver you're going to Gudauri when you board the coach bus heading for Tbilisi. (The cost is the same as going to Tbilisi, 20 Lari per person). - Once you get off in Gudauri, walk a little further down in the direction of Tbilisi. There's a shortcut using the ski slope path that leads directly to the hotel. This path connects directly to the hotel's restaurant (on the -2 floor). - Buses from Gudauri to Tbilisi are scheduled for 9 AM and 5 PM daily (in my case, the 5 PM bus departed at 4:57 PM). - The fare is 15 Lari per person. Be aware that the driver might smoke while driving and will make many stops to pick up or drop off passengers along the way.

Repair is under way, but it doesn 't prevent rest, a fine breakfast and a spa center

The best location in Kazbegi, I'm glad I chose it over a cabin. Every room has a balcony. The rooms with mountain views are a bit more expensive but offer a wider, better vista for sunrise and sunset. However, the forest view rooms are also nice, with glimpses of the snowy mountains and trees, just not as expansive as the full mountain view. Breakfast was excellent; it's basic Western fare but very high quality. We also had dinner at the hotel, which was good too. We didn't try any other restaurants in town, so I can't compare. It's a 15-minute drive to the church.

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