Hotel Lahili — Hotel in Mestia

Exceptional Stay at Hotel Lahili – Highly Recommended!

Our experience at Hotel Lahili in Mestia was nothing short of outstanding! From the warm hospitality to the breathtaking views, everything exceeded our expectations.

First and foremost, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Nana at the reception. She was incredibly helpful in planning our itinerary in Mestia, ensuring we made the most of our time there. Her kindness and dedication went above and beyond, as she even arranged for us to visit Tetnuldi Ski Resort in her personal car, with Theo as our driver – completely complimentary! This gesture truly showcased the hotel's commitment to guest satisfaction.

The food at Hotel Lahili was another highlight of our stay. The breakfast spread was delicious, offering a variety of fresh, home-cooked dishes to start the day right. For Indian travelers, the hotel restaurant is a rare gem, as it is one of the few places in Mestia that serves rice—a comforting option for those craving a taste of home.

Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised when our standard room was upgraded, making our stay even more enjoyable. The views from our room were absolutely breathtaking, overlooking Mestia’s charming village and the snow-capped mountains—a perfect sight to wake up to each morning.

For those visiting in winter, Hotel Lahili offers ski equipment rental, making it a convenient choice for skiing enthusiasts. After a long day in the snow, the sauna facility was the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Overall, our stay at Hotel Lahili was exceptional in every way. The hospitality, amenities, food, and scenic beauty make this hotel an ideal choice for anyone visiting Mestia. We highly recommend it and would love to return...

Don’t get fooled by the 5 star reviews, like I was. While the ladies who run the property were nice, I barely saw them. Instead had to deal with a smug lady at the reception.

No Food - The biggest blow to the trip was that we checked into the property in the afternoon, and were told at night time that there is no food / dinner being served at the restaurant, that too only when I asked for it. It was -17 degrees C outside, no place to go, and we were stuck at a place with no food, while they didn’t even have the courtesy to inform us prior. Why would anyone pay so much for a hotel where there’s no food?

Bad Service - There’s no concept of phones in the room or any kind of room service. Which is still manageable, as long as you don’t have to come down to reception over and over again to deal with a person who’s behaving as if she’s doing us a favour. In the night, we asked for extra bottles of water (they had given us only 2 small bottles of water in the room for the whole day), and the reception lady acted as if we were asking for free food.

Mestia was so beautiful. But honestly I feel the trip was ruined just because of this hotel...

A truly nice place to rest and experience Georgian hospitality with super friendly and very knowledgeable hotel staff who's ready to help you with anything you need! As an additional bonus, the hotel terrace has the best views of the famous Svaneti towers in Mestia (see the proof).

I stayed there for 4 nights and the hotel was very clean, the room was also clean and quite comfy, so you're guaranteed to get a decent night's sleep after your demanding hikes or bike rides.

They also had a nice breakfast (served between 8am and 10am) canteen with a decent variety of local dairy products, fruits, condiments, fresh eggs and sausages, crepes and Georgian Chvishtari which is a local must have (Georgian corn bread with Georgian cheese), absolutely delicious!

I am very grateful that I was there actually, because I got a nasty stomach bug (had some questinable food and water while hiking) and Sopho from Lahili's housekeeping team was amazing helpful! She helped us to go to the pharmacy and cleaned the room and also served some boiled potatoes, when I couldn't have any substantial meals. Thank you Sopho and Alexandra from Lahili for truly great...
