Hotel Stancia Kazbegi - City Center

The location of the hotel is great. Its right in the middle of the city, with restaurant and grocery across the hotel. If you want to eat Indian food there is a Punjabi Dhaba right outside the hotel. The rooms were cosy, clean and the views of Mount Kazbek were breathtaking, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and homely. Beautiful views from restaurant where they serve breakfast. Good breakfast with good variety. Avoid the rooms facing the road as it can get noisy in the night.

Whilst the location of this hotel is very central with fabulous views of the snow capped mountains, the rooms themselves were tired (especially the en-suite), not very clean and there was no air conditioning. It was fabulous to wake up to such a wonderful mountain view, but the hotel was let down by the terse, unfriendly staff. The breakfast buffet was OK but most things were bought in and out of packets, even the bakery items. The restaurant meals were OK but nothing special. Breakfast was supposed to open at 8.00 am but was generally late, which isn't brilliant when you are on a schedule. Not a very welcoming environment, but OK for a night or two.

Lovely little hotel, easily accessible right in center of town. Friendly staff, nice rooms, excellent views from rooms and terrace. Only issue was small shower. Breakfast was also nice. Rooms clean. Restaurant had good food and was served promptly.
