Opened in 2023, the Hilton Garden Inn Tbilisi Riverview is a great accommodation choice in Tbilisi. The hotel is conveniently located just 3km from Tbilisi (Samgori) Railway Station and 14km from Tbilisi International Airport. The closest major public transportation, 300 Aragveli Metro Station, is only 600m away. Seeing Tbilisi's sights from this hotel is easy with Abanotubani, Vakhtang Gorgasali Square and Metekhi church of the Nativity of the Mother of God all close by. When guests have some time on their hands they can make use of the onsite facilities. If cleanliness is important to you, this hotel makes an excellent choice, as our guests consider this to be one of the cleanest hotels in the city. For guests traveling with families, this hotel is consistently one of the most popular choices.
"Advantages:
- size and cleanliness of the room, amenities: there was a lot of space, cleaning came everyday, the vault could contain a big laptop
- view from the room: our windows were oriented to the east so we didn’t see the city center. However, we could see the hills, the river with HPP on it and the wedding palace, and this view was very pretty. The view from the room (13th floor) and from the restaurant (3rd floor) is attached.
- lack of noise from construction sites nearby and the busy road — with closed windows you can’t hear a thing from the outside
Disadvantages:
- the dining restaurant: on the first day of our stay we decided to have dinner at the hotel restaurant (it wasn’t included into our booking). It turned out that we were the only people at the empty restaurant. While the food was satisfactory, the waiter told us that their check printing machine is broken, so he gave us a random number as an amount that we should pay. We paid it, but when we tried to calculate the amount by ourselves at home (including the service fee from the menu), we came to the conclusion that he added around 20 GEL to the real amount.
- the breakfast buffet: the choice was very limited. The only dish with meat was sausage. Other than that, the breakfast was fine.
Notes:
- before booking we asked the restaurant about dining policy and learned the following: if dinner is included in your stay, it means that you can every day order dishes from the fixed menu for a fixed amount of money (around 70 GEL, which is enough for a meal without alcoholic drinks).
- the location is not central, but it is not bad, because the metro station is close. However, if you intend to cross the bridge over the river, please take into account that crossing the road to the bridge would take around 5 mins, because it is a busy road junction.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but I can’t recommend either booking the dinner for your stay in advance or visiting the restaurant for dinner by yourself."
