Stepantsminda Hotels with balcony

It was an absolutely fantastic stay! I woke up this morning to a view of the golden sunrise over the mountains.

This place offers direct views of Holy Trinity Church and the snow-capped mountains. You can wake up to the stunning sight of the sun-kissed golden peaks right from your bed every morning. The unit is fully equipped, and you can even prepare your own meals. It also features a lovely small outdoor terrace. Plus, the supermarket down the hill is just a convenient 10-minute walk away.

The snowy mountains are really beautiful at night

Because it was listed as the only 5-star hotel in Kazbek on Ctrip, I booked it. After checking in, it felt more like a self-built motel. Environment: A single building with a small gravel path and an open area in front of the balcony, also covered in gravel and weeds. The hotel is new, and there's a noticeable renovation smell. Cleanliness: Given its newness, it's quite good. Facilities: The room and bathroom are both decent-sized, about 20 square meters overall, but the sink is cramped and won't fit a woman's makeup bag. The balcony is also narrow. View: Seeing many reviews comparing it to Rooms, I think the view of Mount Kazbek is quite different; it's noticeably smaller, and there's a barrier in front. Service: The owner was quite welcoming, but the breakfast was limited and simple, and the taste was average. I can only say that I had something non-salty at lunch.

I initially wanted to book the popular Room Hotel, but couldn't get a reservation, so I chose this one instead (it was much cheaper than the former), and I was unexpectedly very satisfied! The room was very large, and the mountain view room I booked had a balcony directly facing the snow-capped mountains. Sitting on the balcony at night, I not only took pictures of the Holy Trinity Church lit up on the mountaintop, but also captured the sunrise over the golden mountains the next morning! It was definitely the biggest unexpected surprise of this trip!

The best location in Kazbegi, I'm glad I chose it over a cabin. Every room has a balcony. The rooms with mountain views are a bit more expensive but offer a wider, better vista for sunrise and sunset. However, the forest view rooms are also nice, with glimpses of the snowy mountains and trees, just not as expansive as the full mountain view. Breakfast was excellent; it's basic Western fare but very high quality. We also had dinner at the hotel, which was good too. We didn't try any other restaurants in town, so I can't compare. It's a 15-minute drive to the church.

The room appeared simple but was incredibly functional and clean, with very comfortable bedding. The best part was the balcony, which directly faced Gergeti Trinity Church and Mount Kazbek, allowing us to admire the distant snow-capped mountains right from our bed. The room rate included two breakfasts, which were authentic Western style. Although quite different from Chinese breakfast, it was a pleasant change once in a while, especially the sausages, desserts, milk, and yogurt, which were all delicious—perhaps due to the fresh ingredients. Parking was easy right outside, making it very convenient for those driving. Just behind the hotel, there's a forest, and above that, the snow-capped mountains, which was absolutely stunning!

這是我入住過的最棒的小屋. 小院裏面有兩個小屋， 車停在院子外面，可以點篝火. 雖然我們只有三個人，但是這個屋子可以住下六七個人. 房間周圍就是雪山，風景和星空都很美. 我們不知道怎麼 check in, 於是聯繫攜程幫我們找到房主. 接待我們的是個帥氣的中年大哥，他不講英語，但我們還是順利入住了. 我們離開的時候不知道怎麼 check-out, 衹好留下鑰匙就離開了. 這是一次非常棒的人生體驗. 很高興和我兒子還有我弟弟一起在這裏度過了寶貴時光.

The location of the hotel is great! Open the curtains and you can see the Holy Trinity Church and the snow-capped mountains! The room is a little small, but clean and tidy, the service attitude is good, and it's a good experience.
