Ushguli Hotel Riho

The host is very hospitable. Close to the church.

The light in the room is too dim

The landscape, the people, the food

Located at the upper end of Usghuli in close proximity to Lamaria Church, the accommodation offers the perfect starting point for tours to the Shkhara Glacier. On the way to the glacier you come by at the art museum of the painter Fridon Nizharadze, which you should definitely pay a visit to. Here, old Svaneti symbolism is interwoven with surrealistic motifs. Likewise, the Ethnographic Museum is just 1 minute away. The hosts are absolutely fantastic! Anyone who hasn't experienced Svaneti hospitality yet has an opportunity. Be sure to book breakfast for 20 GL - there is a new surprise on the table every day. Horses can be booked for tours and the nature is breathtaking at 2200 m altitude. You should take some time with you to let the deceleration of the world take effect on you. (and also cash - there are no ATMs in Ushguli and you cannot pay by card anywhere).

This is exact, what you want on this location:-)

The owners were extremely nice! We payed just for the stay (food was available at their restaurant) so it was also really affordable. And we were the only guests so had the whole place to ourselves!

Nice family and great view!

The guesthouse is located towards the end of Ushguli so there is an amazing view of the mountains. The rooms were clean and cozy. The showers were hot- perfect for the cold weather. Bring your own towels and soap. Though the owners weren’t able to speak English we were still able to communicate with them at a basic level. All in all it was a nice and authentic experience!

We didn’t have access to a shared kitchen and were told to eat in the restaurant, which is run by the daughter-in-law. The food there was very tasty. The bed was a bit uncomfortable (indented mattress).
