Hotel 717 Kazbegi

Twelve rooms face Mount Kazbek at Hotel 717, a compact guesthouse on Vazha Pshavela Street in Stephantsminda village, where the medieval Gergeti Trinity Church crowns the opposing ridge at 2,170 metres.

The address places guests a five-minute walk from the main square and the trailheads leading to both the Gergeti glacier approach and the national park's lower valley routes. Upper-floor rooms gain unobstructed mountain views; the difference from lower rooms is worth requesting at booking.

A 9.6 rating across 219 reviews points to consistent hospitality rather than amenity depth — no spa, but reliable transfers to the Georgian Military Highway. Tbilisi lies 157 kilometres south, roughly three hours through the Dariali Gorge.
