Top Mestia Hotel Reviews
Hotel Gistola in Mestia
"Lovely hotel slightly on the outskirts of Mestia, but entirely walkable to the town centre. Plenty of parking and nice facilities, including pool and sauna. Breakfast provided, pretty basic, but plentiful."
Hotel Elite House
"Good place to stay in Mestia. Good location close to everything."
Suntower
"The staff at the hotel was super nice and friendly. The only downside was that the walls were extremely thin, so you could hear everything from the neighboring rooms, possibly because we were staying on the first floor. Other than that, everything was great. The hotel is conveniently located, and everything is within walking distance."
