Stepantsminda


A friendly, English-speaking brother-and-sister team run this popular little hostel, 250m along the second street on the left as you walk up the Gergeti road. The two dorms each have their own bathroom, and the centre of the house is a darling dining room with stone walls, wooden furniture and lots of light.
