Who this stay suits
A practical, well-equipped ski hotel with mountain views, on-site dining, and direct access to skiing from $61/night.
Best for
- Skiers and snowboarders
- Budget-conscious mountain travellers
- Small groups needing triple rooms
- Guests arriving by airport shuttle
Less suited to
- Travellers seeking a large room
- Those who prefer a city or urban setting
Mountain views from every room
All room categories at Hotel Deka face the mountains. The Standard Double, Twin, and Triple rooms each have a private balcony, so the views are accessible from your own outdoor space rather than just a window.
Ski facilities under one roof
Ski rental and ski storage are both on-site. A ski school runs at an additional charge. Having equipment sorted and stored at the property removes the daily carry that makes mountain mornings slower.
Restaurant, bar, and coffee house
Three separate food and drink options sit within the hotel. The restaurant serves breakfast — noted positively by guests — and the bar and coffee house give guests somewhere to eat and drink without leaving the building after a day on the slopes.
BBQ terrace and outdoor space
BBQ facilities are available on-site at an additional charge. The outdoor area gives guests an option to eat outside when conditions allow, with the mountain backdrop as the setting.

“The best part in the hotel is dinner: Delicious dinner that you order from the menu, you don't need to leave the hotel to get REAL Georgian food and for a fair price.”
“Nini really stood out. She was extremely helpful and even guided me while planning my return trip to Tbilisi as well as my paragliding experience.”
“The bed mattresses are not comfortable and need to be replaced. There should also be a male staff member available to help guests carry their luggage upstairs, especially since there is no elevator to the third floor.”
“Luka and the family makes you feel at home.”
“Whenever we needed help with something the staff was very helpful. My bed was a bit hard which made sleeping a bit difficult, but I switched it with another mattress which helped.”
