Gardino Hotel & Residence

Gardino Hotel & Residence Overview

You know what really struck me about the Gardino Hotel & Residence when I first walked in? It’s got this perfect balance between feeling upscale and actually being comfortable – and I mean that in the best way possible. So many 4-star places try too hard to impress you with marble everything, but this place just feels… right. The lobby has this warm, residential vibe that makes sense once you realize it’s part hotel, part extended-stay residence, which honestly works out great for regular travelers.

The rooms are where this place really shines, actually. I’ve stayed in the hotel side twice now, and both times I was impressed by how thoughtfully everything’s laid out. The kitchenette setup isn’t just some afterthought – you can actually cook a decent meal if you want to, though I’ll admit I mostly used it for morning coffee and keeping leftovers from the amazing restaurants nearby. The beds are properly comfortable (not too soft, not like sleeping on concrete), and here’s something I always notice – the blackout curtains actually work. You’d be surprised how many places mess that up. The bathroom’s got good water pressure too, which… well, you appreciate these things when you travel a lot.

What I really love about this place is how it doesn’t feel touristy, if that makes sense. The staff knows what they’re doing without being overly formal about it – check-in was smooth both times, and when I had a question about local transport, the front desk guy gave me actual useful advice instead of just handing me a generic map. The 8.4 rating makes total sense to me because it’s one of those places that just consistently gets the important stuff right. Parking was straightforward (and included, which is always nice), the wifi actually works throughout the building, and it’s quiet enough that you can sleep but not so removed that you feel disconnected. I mean, there were a few minor things – the air conditioning took a while to kick in during my summer stay, and the elevator’s a bit slow – but honestly, these are pretty small complaints. I’d definitely book here again, especially for longer stays where having that extra space and kitchen setup really makes a difference.

To book a hotel in Riyadh during major cultural festivals, travelers need early planning as this modern Arabian city draws visitors eager to experience its traditional heritage and futuristic skyline.

  Very good and clean

• Zahraa from Saudi Arabia (8/10)

  The hotel was clean and comfortable, with a great breakfast and an amazing location. However, the street noise was a real issue. We stayed in a city-view room, but the noise from the busy street, day and night, made it hard to relax. If you’re planning to stay here, I’d definitely recommend choosing a courtyard-view room instead. The hotel would really benefit from upgrading the windows to block out the noise better. Also, the smart lighting system in the room was a bit tricky to figure out. That said, everything else about our stay was excellent, and I’d happily come back again!
