Hotels near Bobby the Friendly Dog, Mestia

Excellent holiday. Accommodation, hospitality, room furnishings, food - all top notch. We were satisfied with everything, both the location of the hotel and the inaccessibility of this area of ​​Georgia for non-mobile tourists. A homely welcome, unobtrusiveness, a desire to please and to do everything to make the vacationers comfortable. For all this, many thanks to the owners of this hotel!

The hotel is located in the centre of Mestia and is very cozy, with comfortable rooms. The staff is super helpful and very friendly. The hotel has a nice restaurant with variety of delicious food. We were a group of friends visiting Svaneti for the first time, thank you for an amazing experience and unforgettable moments, definitely gonna come back to your place! Good luck

This was our accommodation on the eve of the start of our four day trek from Mestia to Ushguli. We dined - the usual Georgian smorgasbord including beef stew - under a wood canopy with great views of the surrounding mountains. The host plied us with some local grappa. The room was comfortable with a small balcony and powerful hot shower. A hearty breakfast set us up for the day and we left with a lunch box.

We had a very nice stay here. It is a new and comfortable, modern hotel. The food is really good so we ate here most nights. The view from our room over the river to the Mestia towers is lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The design is nice and the room is quiet except for the sound of the river :) As it is a new hotel, there are some small improvements they can make: for a 4 star hotel it needs a higher cleaning standard. Bathroom and floor were a bit shabby and didn’t feel properly cleaned after the previous guest. Room listed a tv but it was missing (just a bracket on the wall). Bedside lamps are needed - only one main ceiling light which is too bright for relaxing and reading in the evening. Otherwise a great stay! I would stay here again.

I had an amazing time at Gistola Hotel with my two little kids. It is a kid friendly hotel with a playground built outside on the side of the hotel which made it so much easier for my kids to stay active and have fun. There is a cozy and extremely positive vibe as soon as you walk in the lobby greeted by smiling reception staff at the front desk. The lobby is equipped with a bar if you want to get a drink, they got various table games, books to read, warm blankets and umbrellas. The Lobby is spacious with good internet connection (was important for me as I was working from the hotel). The room was super clean and modern with a great mountain and river view. Bathroom clean and equipped with exceptional toiletries with sewing kit, shower cap, toothpaste/brush, etc. Housekeeping was outstanding. The kitchen staff was friendly, helping us select the authentic dishes, always ready to assist us. Speaking about menu: its got variety of soup/salad selection and authentic Georgian and Svan food selection translated in English. My kids still had their kid menu with chicken nuggets, fries and pizza in case they got picky on trying other food. I was especially amazed by the selection of fresh food/fruits/pastries at breakfast time. We took several trips and tours that hotel had to offer with their van with highly skilled drivers. The driver staff was extremely careful on driving on long trips, extremely respectful and friendly. Few trips we took were to: Ushguli, Becho (Shikhra), Heshkili, took cable car ride to the Zuruldi cafe to have a beer and enjoy the wonderful views (yet to see Tetnuldi and Koruldi Lakes). My most favorite tour was to: Becho (Shikhra). I’m planning on coming back to Gistola hotel next summer. Also, its worth knowing they are having the addition of pool, gym and rooftop terrace with amazing views. Highly recommend this place for quiet, productive, relaxing stay with wonderful staff!!

I had a bit of trouble finding it because there was no hotel sign or information sign. There is no TV, refrigerator, water, cup, or slippers in the room. Shampoo and shower gel are available. You can borrow a hair dryer by asking the front desk. Morning breakfast was okay. It's a bit far from the center.
