I suggest the hotel has card board “Don’t disturb “ when someone need that.

Everything is awesome!! Excellent view , delicious international breakfast buffet. My child loves smoked salmon. I’m very appreciated in staff and facilities although I didn’t use swimming pool. I recommend everyone to stay here.

The sauna is additionally paid and in the basement. No gym.

Very good hotel in the perfect location. We were very positively surprised as there are no other such places in Mestia yet. The staff was very helpful and provided us with nice upgrades as the hotel has not been very busy. Big swimming pool, a new terrace, and good breakfasts. Free shuttle bus to the city center. We will definitely come back.

Everything was perfect. Conclusion: Whether for skiing or trekking in summer: Hotel Gistola offers a perfect European standard for a vacation in the Caucasus. We will book again!!!!

The Hotel Gistola deserves its 5 stars! How to get there: Mestia is approx. 210 km from the airport in Kutaisi. There are numerous ways to get there by minibus. We chose the convenient option and had the hotel driver pick us up at the airport; travel time 5-6 hours depending on the season. The airport shuttle was very well organized. This applies to all communication in the run-up to the trip. Questions are answered quickly. The staff speak (and write) English. The location in Mestia: The hotel is on the edge of the town, just 5-10 minutes' walk to the center. If you don't feel like walking after long hikes or skiing days, the hotel offers a free transfer to the center. Trips into the mountains or to the Tetnuldi ski area can be organized. The rooms: Either with a view of the mountains or the village with its towers (all rooms with balcony). The rooms are newly furnished and very spacious. This also applies to the bathroom. The beds are of super quality and large. Comfortable armchairs in the room, plus a table. The housekeeping crew is simply great; towels are changed daily. In terms of cleanliness, there really isn't the slightest complaint. The hotel has a large pool (free of charge) and a private sauna (for a fee). Both facilities are very spacious and we highly recommend using them. The staff at reception (and some in the restaurant) speak fluent English. Requests are fulfilled gladly and in a friendly manner; the atmosphere in the hotel could not be better. The breakfast is very varied and absolutely meets European standards. Exception: Caviar is rather rare here in Germany (even in good hotels). The moderately priced restaurant is characterized by a large selection of international and local dishes. Here too, 5 stars! We were in Mestia at the end of the winter season (end of March).

The road to Svaneti Mestia was a bummer. But the amenities in the property boosted our energies

It’s a hidden jewel in the midst of no man’s land. The manager Ms Maria was polite accommodating to our requests. The place is quiet, ease of check in, clean large beds and toilets, clean sheets, balcony view of mountains was breathtaking. The value for money is EXCELLENT. The hotels have excellent options even for vegetarian families like mine were happy. Must try the pumpkin soup. Millet Kachapuri is their specialty. They even have sauna and heated pool for nominal extra rates. Very lenient with checkout times. Adequate parking spaces

Everything was fabulous! Their staff is simply great from the reception, Maya(Manager), Tedo, housekeeping, and 2 ladies from the reception( sorry, forgot their names). The room with a balcony was of a decent size with all amenities and has a beautiful view.

Its a new, clean hotel with best facilities in this area. Location wise, its walkable distance to center and Museum but a little more distance to Khergiani museum. The view from balcony was awesome, the breakfast was a rich and 'splendid to lavish' spread with a host always attending the layout. The reception girls were very sweet and helpful always. It felt a very new and contemporary styled hotel with big rooms and they have taken care about everything. It's value for comfort and money, recommended.

Heating couldn't be controlled from the room. Nights are quite cold there.

Hotel is very clean and very well maintained. We have really enjoyed our stay. Sauna after lengthy mountain hikes was just the thing we needed. Good food in restaurant with traditional svan options available. Really good staff, very helpful, friendly and polite. View is great, falling asleep looking at svan towers!

I didn't expect to find such modern, comfortable, clean and fresh hotel in a such remote place as Mestia. Very friendly and warm-hearted staff who speaking not only Kartuli (Georgian), but English and Russian languages as well. Suits are very spacious, clean and comfortable. Also have huge window and terrace with sightseeing view! Nice variety of dishes for breakfast. Hotel's restaurant also good place for dinner. Hotel is located a bit aside from the town center, but that's just 20 minutes walk. Also if you travel by car convenient parking is available.

Everything was better than we expected! The staff was amazing, they really wanted us to enjoy and feel comfortable! They helped us to find information about the area and what is the best to do and even welcoming us in our language. The room was big, beautiful, comfortable and very clean. The hotel has a big parking area. There is a beautiful view from the window. There is very good food at the hotel's restaurant. Breakfast is impressive and tasty. We believed it's the best hotel in Mestia! We highly recommend!

At breakfast there is only one coffee machine to make coffee from freshly ground beans. Sometimes there was a long queue for the machine so I think it would be better for the hotel to add another coffee machine.

This is an excellent hotel in Mestia and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. My room was very spacious and the view from the balcony was spectacular. Breakfast was very good and the restaurant has a lot of choice on the menu at reasonable prices if you want to have dinner there. But I think the best part of the experience was the reception staff who were always friendly and helpful. When I left the hotel, my driver to Batumi (organised privately, not through the hotel) had to cancel due to a flat tyre. Tedo from the hotel quickly arranged another driver for me at a reasonable rate, so my itinerary stayed on track. Tedo also kept in touch with me during the journey to make sure everything was OK. I am extremely grateful to Tedo for his help!
