Introduction: Arriving into the Heart of the Caucasus

Driving up through the mountain passes toward Kazbegi (officially Stepantsminda) I felt the air change—sharper, cooler, the outlines of the peaks growing sharper in the distance. Pulling into Ilia Chavchavadze Street 32a, I found Hotel Horizon Kazbegi tucked into the village, with the towering silhouette of Mount Kazbek looming above.

From the moment I walked in, greeted by warm hosts and offered a view out the window to the mountains, I knew I had chosen well. Over the course of my stay, this hotel became more than just a place to sleep—it became the base of a mountain-escape adventure, an oasis of calm, and a vantage point from which to soak up one of Georgia’s finest vistas.

Rooms & Comfort: My Personal Impressions

On arrival I was shown to a Double Room with Glacier View. The space was modest but immaculately clean, with comfortable furnishings, a balcony facing the mountain valley, free WiFi that worked reliably, and a strong heating system for the cooler nights.

Highlights I liked:

Waking up to the mountain view from the balcony—one of the best parts of the stay. Guest reviews highlight this repeatedly. (Booking.com)
A rich breakfast included: many guests wrote about the “very rich breakfast with many homemade tasty items.” (Booking.com)
Free parking: for travellers with a car (as many in Kazbegi are), the free private parking is a plus. (Booking.com)
Quiet nights: although the village is active, the hotel sits in a good position for restful sleep.

Considerations:

Some rooms are on upper floors; if you have heavy luggage check with the hotel how easy access is.
The décor is comfortable but not ultra-luxurious; it fits the mountain guest-house style more than a huge resort.
If you’re travelling in peak season or winter snow, request a room with the balcony or glacier view—they seem worth it.

Dining & Mountain-Style Hospitality

One of the most memorable parts of staying at Hotel Horizon was the warmth of the hosts and the breakfast ritual. Guests consistently mention not just the view, but the care and welcome they received. (Booking.com)

The hosts also make themselves available for tea/coffee through the day; one guest noted a kettle was available for guests to use. (Booking.com)

Nearby restaurants and local cafés are within walking distance in Stepantsminda, giving you options to explore local Georgian mountain cuisine—khinkali, mtsvadi, local wine—while using the hotel as your base.
