Opened in 2023, the Hilton Garden Inn Tbilisi Riverview is a great accommodation choice in Tbilisi. The hotel is only 3km from Tbilisi (Samgori) Railway Station and 14km from Tbilisi International Airport, giving guests a number of convenient transportation options. Transportation around the city is also convenient, with 300 Aragveli Metro Station within walking distance. With multiple attractions nearby including Abanotubani, Vakhtang Gorgasali Square and Royal Bath-House, guests will find plenty to keep themselves occupied. In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. Our guests rate this hotel as one of the best hotels for cleanliness. This hotel is a popular accommodation for guests traveling with families.
"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."
