The hotel is great! The food is very tasty. Cleaned every day. To the sea at a quiet pace of 15 min. But we found where 5-7 minutes are shorter))) . Nearby is an excursion to the cave... by the way, go well, it's very interesting and beautiful. And so dear for taste and color))) I want to say that I rarely come back, but I will come to this hotel again.
A wonderful place in the gorge of the New Athos monastery.The view is magnificent, the service is good, the food is delicious, the rooms are comfortable.I recommend it-there is something to see and where to walk.
We rested at the end of August 23rd. I liked everything! Excellent location, kitchen, staff. I would especially like to mention the administrators, one of them Ilona is a wonderful responsive girl! I wish all the best to the people working there and, of course, joy to all vacationers!!!
I had a vacation in Abkhazia in June 2022 at the Grand Athos Hotel. The hotel has a very convenient location, there are many picturesque places nearby: a waterfall, a cave, the grotto of Simon Kananita, the New Athos monastery, the most wonderful nature, 10-15 minutes walk to the sea slowly. All the beauty of New Athos is within walking distance. The room was cleaned every day, so it was always clean and cozy. The room had a large comfortable bed, a TV, which I never turned on, because I came to the room only to sleep, a large table, a spacious closet, a bathroom. There is an ironing room on the floors. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would like to mention the dining room, which was located on the top floor, where you could eat and observe the beauty of the colorful landscapes of this amazing country. The food was very tasty and satisfying, 2 times a day (breakfast and dinner). There was a buffet, there was a lot of food, every day a variety. I would also like to mention the staff of the canteen, who were very attentive and kind to me. And also, near the hotel there are many cafes with live music in the evenings, a small market with fruits and vegetables and a beautiful park with swans. Thanks to the excellent service of the Grand Athos Hotel, the rest was great. I thank the owners of the hotel and every employee for the comfort and positive emotions in this picturesque place. Definitely recommend this hotel!
For Abkhazia, as for me, it's so wonderful! This is not a *grandmother's option*. We had a vacation with my wife in mid-July of the 23rd year. For a week of staying in a small room on the 4th floor with access to the ground level of the road behind the hotel, with breakfast, with a flight from Tyumen to Sochi and back, with a transfer from Sochi airport to the hotel and back, they gave 110 tons of food. They fed extraordinarily, but you will not stay hungry. There is no entertainment in the hotel. There is no animation and no territory. But considering the level of service in general in Abkhazia, I would recommend this hotel. There are at least 4 attractions nearby, which are visited from all over Abkhazia. I recommend a hotel. We liked it.
The hotel has a modern European renovation. The convenient location, close to the city attractions, has its own beach with sun loungers and a bar. Breakfast is a standard buffet.
Great hotel, very surprised by the awesome service and very tasty cuisine!
The rooms are of good size,soft mattresses ,cleanliness
The linen is changed frequently and the room is often cleaned.
Breakfast and dinner are buffet style, everything is very close to home, and very tasty!!!!
The staff is helpful and very friendly, thank you so much for understanding Sabine and for Arman's great mood!
On the 7th floor there is a great warm swimming pool with views of new Athos and the mountains
Parking is free for guests by car)
The hotel is for 5+ , if possible, we will return again !
Not a bad hotel. The room is comfortable. The only thing is that the balcony is not very uncomfortable. There is a table on it, but you can smoke. And if you take a room, it's better from the side where the entrance is, otherwise the balcony overlooks the road at the 3rd floor level.
The reception is responsive, they helped out many times and really solved problems. (Without question, they moved to another room, provided a first-aid kit)
The buffet is generally normal. It may get a little boring by the end of the vacation. But this does not negate its quality. The pool is located upstairs. But under the roof. I haven't seen a single person swimming there in a week. Since it's probably unpleasant to swim when there's a kitchen nearby.
The Wi-Fi is good. It strikes anywhere in the hotel. I even calmly received messages from whatsapp when I got off the road 30 meters from the hotel.
The location is pleasant, there is access to two main roads of Mount Athos. As well as one of the main attractions of Mount Athos: a closed railway station right around the corner. In the morning, you can walk calmly to the caves and buy tickets.
I stayed at the hotel in June 2022. Excellent service. Delicious and varied food. A comfortable and clean room. Very good location relative to the attractions. The pool is on the 7th floor with heated water. There is almost no adjacent territory, but this is not necessary. Because there is a very beautiful park nearby. Thanks a lot to the staff. I definitely recommend this hotel.
We had a rest in October. Good location, good modern hotel, delicious homemade food, not a large assortment, but we did not stay hungry. A warm outdoor pool with views of the mountains and the Athos Monastery🔥😍
Of the cons- in 8 days, there was no room cleaning, towels were changed 1 time at my request, garbage was cleaned every day.
If possible, we will come back to this hotel, I hope they will clean the room more often.)))
Huge greetings to Bogdan and George.😉
We stayed at this hotel in mid-May 2021) very convenient location, near a waterfall, the New Athos monastery, 10 minutes to the sea. The rooms are clean and cozy, the staff is very friendly. I especially want to mention the kitchen, the food was insanely delicious, we ate to the limit, the buffet was small, but it was quite enough) we rested with a large family and with a small child, while the variety and quality of the dishes pleased everyone) it was nice to sit on the veranda, on the top floor, eat and look at the beautiful view of the mountains and the monastery) we fell in love with this hotel! Thank you all very much, thanks to you, this vacation was unforgettable)
We stayed at this hotel. A very good place for excursions, shopping for local goods. There are a lot of tourists, they bring them by bus. Near a waterfall, a church, etc. The hotel itself is not bad. But : 1) our bed was changed 1 time in 9 days. Towels 1 time. Garbage comes out of the toilet every day.2) the food is very poor, not tasty.Come to eat, everything is already cold..Except for soup and coffee. Baking for tea , I don't know what to call it. Fruits first, some sliced apples.Later, after 4 days, plums were added. They began to cut peaches. The sea is far from the hotel. People are kind and hospitable themselves. If you improve nutrition and cleaning and linen change, etc. Well, everything else is not bad.
About this hotel.
The hotel itself is nice and well located relative to all the attractions.
The food is good, everything is fresh, there were no problems with food.
And now to the cons:
The room has dirty carpet, we had it cleaned once in a week, there is no regular TV, only smart TV, the sheets are constantly slipping on the bed, it is not very convenient. The pillows are not comfortable, they are small. If the hotel is full, you will not get into the elevator, because it is constantly busy. All rooms up to the fourth floor, from the back of the hotel, overlook the biton wall with windows and balconies. If you want to wash your clothes, go to the reception, and there you will be handed a plastic basin and told to go do the laundry. It's strange that they don't have a washing machine.
Well, really, where did such rave reviews come from? It's not terrible, but there are a lot of disadvantages ...
the stench in the room is unbearable. Sewage system. The lining on the toilet is generally something... I am attaching a photo. Toilet paper instead of blinds! The closet has no shelves, only for hangers, and there are 3 pieces in total. The passage to the sleeping place is as wide as a palm! The food is delicious. The chefs are great. The view from the dining room balcony is gorgeous. The sea is far away. The pool on the 7th floor was not working. There is an iron in the hallway on each floor.
Wonderful hotel! We rested at the end of October. Food for 5, many write that it is monotonous, the question immediately arises to people who writes it- do you eat in restaurants with Michelin stars? Everything is fine, at home, just very tasty. The staff has a separate respect, they will help with all questions, it was very nice to talk! Roma, Sasha, if you are reading-great greetings! The location is just top, the view of the sights right from the room! According to the number, everything is clear, fresh, modern! The pool is on the 7th floor, in the evenings a great view!Thank you very much for the pleasant emotions, we will definitely come again!
A hotel with good rooms. Three meals a day. There is not much variety, but it is cooked delicious. There is a swimming pool on the roof. We were in October - bedbugs fly into the room. Maybe it is worth solving the problem of guests with the help of a grid?
We were in Grand Athos in July 2022! I liked everything very much! Clean, beautiful! The rooms are cozy, everything is done in the same style! There was always hot water! I liked the pool on the top floor with mountain views! The food is delicious, homemade! The staff is polite, not intrusive! Your own beach with sun beds and an umbrella, walk for 15 minutes! We will be happy to come again!
Great hotel!Polite staff.
Now for more details:
The hotel is located next to a waterfall and a shopping mall within walking distance of all local attractions, such as a waterfall, an abandoned station "Pcyrsha", Novoafonsky Manastyr, Stalin's cottage, Caves, a lake with ducks and swans.The hotel itself is very comfortable and beautiful.Cozy rooms with a fresh renovation.On the 7th floor there is a swimming pool with lighting and a dining room.The food is very tasty (with a local flavor).The sea is 15-20 minutes away at a leisurely pace.On the way to the sea there are cafes and various private wine merchants and all sorts of different things)))To summarize...I advise you to visit this hotel...the option is not quite budget-friendly, for Abkhazia, but the price is adequate...In return, you get comfort)))
The location is great, the hotel itself is not bad either. But the room is dark and smells damp. The food in the restaurant is also for 4, the choice is small, but some dishes do not look very appetizing.
We stayed at the hotel in July 2022, our room was overlooking the city. Amazing view! I really liked the varied food, clean room, the tables in the restaurant were always clean, thanks to the waiters, chefs and all the staff who were attentive to each guest. Special thanks to the waiter George, very responsive, polite and attentive. We were satisfied!
Vacationed with a friend in October. The most important disadvantage is the invasion of bedbugs (September - October season), the room was with a balcony, but it is impossible to get out, there are a lot of these entities and so that they do not settle in the room, if there is a balcony, we did not use it.
It is also impossible to dry things on the balcony, because bedbugs are everywhere.
The same problem is in the kitchen, the ons is open, these insects fly, sit on tables, fall into food, so-so pleasure.
The linen is stained, the pillows are unpleasant, the linen is rarely changed, the carpet is vacuumed and cleaned too rarely, although the room is cleaned. There are two towels per person, rarely changed.
The curtains are torn, the bedspread was immediately removed, very unpleasant, everything is in sharushki.
The room often smells of sewage
Drinking water is given every day - this is a plus. There is a TV with Internet.
The food is so-so, but there is something to eat.
Overall not bad, but not 4 stars. Even in 3 stars, the service and quality of bed linen is better.

We were here with my husband from 05.07 - 07/14/2024.
Nice hotel
I recommend
But there is also a minus:
The buffet is very modest
Little choice
The hotel itself is beautiful, very nice girl at the reception. The walls are cardboard, the audibility is frantic, especially if there are children constantly running around, it will be impossible to sleep. Another "feature" is the dining room in the 4-star hotel. This is exactly the dining room, where bread is constantly running out, one kind of fruit at best, the staff is absolutely lazy and arrogant. and where you have to carry the tray yourself. This is a 4 star hotel🤣🤣🤣
Pedestrians be careful, locals drive as they want in their cars, the police rarely appear on the street

Great vacation!We lived in Grand Athos from October 14 to 22, the location of the hotel is very good: in the center of all the attractions-a waterfall, a monastery, Stalin's cottage, the old railway station. The sea is about 600-700 meters away along a picturesque alley. The hotel itself, in general, is not bad, but there are shortcomings:a double bed is, in fact, two single mattresses pushed together, the mattresses are very uncomfortable; the curtain in the room hangs on incomprehensible hooks, it is impossible to open or close the window-it just falls to the floor, the curtain in the bathroom is short when you swim, all the water pours on the floor, bathrobes of the same size 46-48, a large man does not It will fit. The hotel was built recently, but at least minor repairs are necessary:somewhere the baseboard fell off, somewhere the wallpaper peeled off. Power supply by the system:breakfasts and dinners are not very diverse, but everything is very tasty, everything is fresh. The hotel has a swimming pool, without heating, in October the water is +25+26 degrees. The hotel staff, like all residents of Abkhazia, are very friendly, thank you very much for a wonderful stay.
Of course it's not 4 stars!!!!! We stayed at this hotel at the end of March 2023. When booking, I noticed that the child is allergic to dust with a request to do the cleaning ......the dust lay everywhere in an even, thick layer!!!! The curtain is of course a separate topic, if you pull it, it falls from the window along with the dust. It's very cold from the window. The pillows are very uncomfortable, small and consist of individual lumps. For soap and shampoo, you had to go down to the reception every time, they give you one set in your hands)))The robe had a torn pocket that was dangling and was without a belt. One mug for two!!! There was no cleaning in 4 days. On the third day, after my PERSISTENT requests, the garbage was taken out of our room, which we carefully packed in a bag so that the smell would not appear. The main mystery was the heated towel rail, there is a wire, and an outlet on the opposite wall)))) If you turn it on, then you can only get into the shower by bowing to the floor, well, or crawling!!! A three-course meal. And now about the advantages- the location of the hotel is just superrrrr. All attractions are within walking distance. Nice girls at the reception
We stayed at this hotel from 17 to 21 August 2022.
The location is good, close to all the main attractions.
There is no territory in the hotel, from the word at all. There is nowhere to even sit outside, except for chairs near the entrance, for smoking.
The pool is under the roof, a couple of sunbeds under it, so-so fun.
The rooms are not cleaned, which is probably why they have such a musty smell, I did not want to go there.
It is clear that the hotel is poorly maintained.
The staff is unhappy with life, as if I came to them on loan.
Food is a separate story.
Not tasty, not varied.
For breakfast / dinner, they give only 2 hours, late breakfast-from 9.00, early dinner-until 7.
I wouldn't have written anything if the hotel hadn't cost about 10,000 per night.
I will not advise anyone, I will dissuade everyone who gathers.
The three of us (adults) had a rest in September 2021. I liked the reception service, the girls are polite. They settled in a little earlier than expected. The furniture in the rooms is not new, but the beds are comfortable, the linen is clean. Room cleaning was, however, infrequent. 3 meals a day were included in the package, not a very varied buffet, but everything is delicious and fresh. The menu changed every day. The staff of the dining room and kitchen are very friendly. There are 2 meat dishes and 2 side dishes to choose from. The dining room is located in an enclosed basement with air conditioning, but it is also possible on an open balcony with a beautiful view. There was one caveat: there were not enough trays, but this was the fault of the vacationers themselves, who did not release them on time. Walk along a beautiful shady alley for about five minutes from the beach. The sea is clean enough, there have always been enough sun beds, but umbrellas are not every time. There is a cafe on the beach. There are many attractions around the hotel: an active monastery, one of Stalin's dachas, the New Athos Caves, an ancient tower. We bought excursions to Sukhumi, horseback riding, Lake Rizza with a visit to a wine cellar. Abkhazians are friendly and unobtrusive people.The weather was mostly warm, with only 2 rainy days. In general, I liked everything. I recommend the hotel.

The Grand Athos Hotel is well located.
Within walking distance are:
- grotto and Church of Simon the Cananite,
- man-made waterfall,
- Historical Museum,
- New Athos Simon-Cananite Monastery,
- seaside park,
- New Athos caves,
- the dachas of Stalin and Khrushchev.
The hotel has a heated swimming pool located on the 7th floor.
The hotel has a good website where you can get acquainted with prices, see photos of rooms and read reviews.
Free WiFi.
This is the worst hotel I've ever been to. There is no service, from the word at ALL. Consistently once a day I had to run around the hotel in search of a maid to give me water, change the bed, etc. The room is very budget-friendly, for all 10 days I struggled with the curtains, which were always falling off the ledge! Food is a separate problem, there is no buffet, it looks more like set meals, it is not tasty and meager, and when I saw instant coffee in a jar at breakfast, I almost fainted. The pool is on the 7th floor, deep, not suitable for children. Two days later, I decided to put up with all this and enjoy the beauty of New Athos. The only advantage of this hotel is its location.
The food is delicious, but cold except for soups for dinner. The rooms are clean, spacious, the staff is helpful, cleaning is daily. The location of the hotel is excellent. All attractions are within walking distance

Nice hotel, cozy, family friendly. The food is delicious. Close to all the sights of the city, 10 minutes to the beach. There are cafes and shops nearby . There 's a girl sitting right in the hotel offering tours , but she 's so slow that if you relied on her, you wouldn 't get anywhere.
A wonderful hotel, one of the advantages is the location, the view of the historical sights. The proximity of tourist routes . Cleanliness, comfort, food. The staff is helpful. The pool is on the roof.
I had a rest in June 2022, I liked everything, the hotel itself , the food is varied and delicious , the staff is wonderful, the surrounding area is very beautiful, 10 minutes to the sea , near a large beautiful park, I definitely recommend it!
Good afternoon!
Our stay at this fashionable hotel ends in July 2022.
We would like to highlight the delicious and varied food.
And what an attentive waiter George is always here!
Personally, we thank George separately, the hotel is lucky, the young man always closely monitors what is missing, reacts very quickly to all requests, responsibly monitors the cleanliness of dishes and tables. He treats requests kindly. I wish there were more guys like that.
Come and see for yourself! ;)
I liked everything. Breakfast dinner is delicious, but sometimes it cools down as a buffet. A large swimming pool on the 7th floor! There is an elevator!
Good location a few meters from the waterfall! There are many cafes nearby, hookahs for lovers!
The location is excellent for sightseeing. The hotel is clean, but not well maintained, something needs to be updated. Bathrobes are provided in the rooms, and bathrooms are equipped. The breakfast is edible, the problem is clean groups for tea,coffee
The lovely staff is friendly. Clean and comfortable room, everything is within walking distance, breakfast and dinner are included. I really liked it. There is a pool, though small))
I do not recommend booking a room here. This is a real bedbug. The hotel does not seem to be old, it is about 3-4 years old, but it is not so well maintained, and the staff does not bother. The plumbing is rusty, the rooms stink of sewage, the wallpaper is coming off, and the worst thing is that there are bedbugs everywhere, we had about 10 pieces in our room… Breakfast and dinner buffets are included, the choice is meager and tastes so-so ... There is a swimming pool, icy. Parking is small. Plus one is the location, but there are many other options nearby, much better, in terms of price-quality ratio. In the same hotel, the price is too high, it's a fact. We came to friends for two days, and on the second night we moved to another hotel. Friends bought a ticket and they did not have such an opportunity.
I added a view from the room, unfortunately I did not take pictures of the room.
P.S. One bug was brought home... I hope only one🤬🤬🤬
It was January 2, 2023.
I had a rest in July 23 years , so-so hotel on the website they write 2 pools , in fact one on the roof , the second basik on someone else's territory there is no restaurant , only a canteen , the food is so-so , the staff of the maids does not clean the room well , the beds are all broken , I communicated with the neighbors on the floor they also have broken beds , sorry for the money spent on this hotel ,
