What guests think
Most guests describe Gardiner House as a beautifully designed, centrally located boutique hotel with friendly, accommodating staff and an inviting atmosphere, plus generally well liked breakfast and dining, although some note crowding and noise during busy evenings.
Rooms are stylish and comfortable with lofty ceilings and spacious bathrooms, though a few reviews note isolated issues with heating, air conditioning, water pressure, or TVs. Several guests reported inefficiency, limited help with practical needs, loud housekeeping, or a missed airport car arranged through the hotel. Parking is available and often convenient, though finding the correct street or entrance proved confusing for some. Best for those comfortable with a lively scene and minor imperfections.

Beautiful upscale property. Parking was fairly easy once you find the correct street. Staff was not real friendly and helpful on getting you to that street. Be aware of a strict dress code and bring appropriate clothing or you will not be able to use the facilities at the hotel

The hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel however it has certain problems.at the moment. Like other guests we spoke to the TV's don't work. The air-conditioning units are set to not be able to turn off. The breakfast is very very average for the price that guest are paying to stay here. The staff are pleasant enough however there seems to be be no obvious manager overseeing the property.At least not from what guest can see. The bar area is absolutely beautiful and position is fantastic

The charm of Gardiner House is surely a draw, and there is something special about a hotel that offers even small amenities like water bottles or turndown service or daily cleaning of the room--these are lost luxuries for most hotels today! The room was clean and staff was so friendly. The location was fabulous, and the bar was gorgeous.

We went there for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The staff could not have been more professional and accommodating, going above, and beyond making us feel welcome, and every amenity attended to before we ever had to ask it seemed. The rooms were above and beyond gorgeous, pristine and complemented Newport in every way. It felt as if we were a guest in one of the Bellevue Avenue mansions and a friends house versus a hotel. The lounge room had a wonderful fireplace to warm up against after a cool evening and a bar that seem to provide any libation one could want. Hats off to the interior designer as the color schemes, details, and overall character of the hotel are amazing and extraordinarily well thought through. We like to thank everybody for their hospitality, and are looking forward to staying again the next time in Newport.

Lovely and comfortable room - clean, nice linens, nice bathroom, good blackout shades. Service was not in keeping with what I would expect for a high end hotel - they were kind but inefficient, housekeeping was loud, and staff were not particularly knowledgeable or helpful. It was also so loud on a Saturday night - from both the hotel restaurant and the restaurant next door - music went on well past midnight. Food at the restaurant was excellent, but maybe overpriced. Overall, not a good value for how much money we paid, but nice enough.

The property is a great location with clean rooms and a nice staff. Domenic was especially helpful when we arrived from west coast travel...changed our room and gave good advice on all. The restaurant is overrated and very crowded and noisy...like the town feels when its packed. Do not book a car with the hotel for the airport....their recommended service did not show up for the 4:30am transfer to the airport.

We booked a Premier Room King, which advertised a "partial water view" on their website. It cost more than the city view (almost $1,000 a night), but I splurged for my husband's 60th birthday. As it turned out, all the rooms have city views, we were told upon arrival. I asked a few other employees, who agreed, and 1 said, "ya, this place pretty much lies to everyone about the rooms". All the rooms were nice enough, but way over-priced, but we were definitely ripped off.

The building itself is stunningly beautiful inside and out so I was slightly disappointed at the room itself which was beautiful but soulless. The heating was not great and I was there when it snowed. There is no room service and no phone which I found unacceptable especially as a single female traveller. A note next to the ice bucket said 'If you want ice get it from the bar'. There was no facility to make coffee (and no way to order one) and the refreshment selection was underwhelming. The bath towels were the size of flannels - this is a pet peeve of mine. WHY do hotels of this 'quality' not have large bath towels?! The water pressure was not great. No seat at the desk. The room key has the name of the hotel and the room number - not great if you drop it somewhere. The fan in the bathroom did not work. I could feel the sharp gripper underneath the very thin carpet at some places. The Restaurant was fantastic, great ambience, the food was excellent (great choices) and the staff were helpful, kind and very personable. Breakfast was better than advertised - it said in the blurb that 'Continental Breakfast' was included but they also had a selection of eggs and pancakes which was a bonus! I would say that as this is a very new hotel maybe it just needs to grow into itself. I hope so as it has huge potential if they get the little things right.

The rooms were above and beyond gorgeous, pristine and complemented Newport in every way. It felt as if we were a guest in one of the Bellevue Avenue mansions and a friends house versus a hotel. The lounge room had a wonderful fireplace to warm up against after a cool evening and a bar that seem to provide any libation one could want. Hats off to the interior designer as the color schemes, details, and overall character of the hotel are amazing and extraordinarily well thought through. We like to thank everybody for their hospitality, and are looking forward to staying again the next time in Newport.

The property is a great location with clean rooms and a nice staff. Domenic was especially helpful when we arrived from west coast travel...changed our room and gave good advice on all. The restaurant is overrated and very crowded and noisy...like the town feels when its packed. Do not book a car with the hotel for the airport....their recommended service did not show up for the 4:30am transfer to the airport.

Excellent location - walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Lovely and comfortable room - clean, nice linens, nice bathroom, good blackout shades. Service was not in keeping with what I would expect for a high end hotel - they were kind but inefficient, housekeeping was loud, and staff were not particularly knowledgeable or helpful. It was also so loud on a Saturday night - from both the hotel restaurant and the restaurant next door - music went on well past midnight. Food at the restaurant was excellent, but maybe overpriced. Overall, not a good value for how much money we paid, but nice enough.

The building itself is stunningly beautiful inside and out so I was slightly disappointed at the room itself which was beautiful but soulless. The heating was not great and I was there when it snowed. There is no room service and no phone which I found unacceptable especially as a single female traveller. A note next to the ice bucket said 'If you want ice get it from the bar'. There was no facility to make coffee (and no way to order one) and the refreshment selection was underwhelming. The bath towels were the size of flannels - this is a pet peeve of mine. WHY do hotels of this 'quality' not have large bath towels?! The water pressure was not great. No seat at the desk. The room key has the name of the hotel and the room number - not great if you drop it somewhere. The fan in the bathroom did not work. I could feel the sharp gripper underneath the very thin carpet at some places. The Restaurant was fantastic, great ambience, the food was excellent (great choices) and the staff were helpful, kind and very personable. Breakfast was better than advertised - it said in the blurb that 'Continental Breakfast' was included but they also had a selection of eggs and pancakes which was a bonus! I would say that as this is a very new hotel maybe it just needs to grow into itself. I hope so as it has huge potential if they get the little things right.

The hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel however it has certain problems.at the moment. Like other guests we spoke to the TV's don't work. The air-conditioning units are set to not be able to turn off. The breakfast is very very average for the price that guest are paying to stay here. The staff are pleasant enough however there seems to be be no obvious manager overseeing the property.At least not from what guest can see. The bar area is absolutely beautiful and position is fantastic

We went there for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The staff could not have been more professional and accommodating, going above, and beyond making us feel welcome, and every amenity attended to before we ever had to ask it seemed. The rooms were above and beyond gorgeous, pristine and complemented Newport in every way. It felt as if we were a guest in one of the Bellevue Avenue mansions and a friends house versus a hotel. The lounge room had a wonderful fireplace to warm up against after a cool evening and a bar that seem to provide any libation one could want. Hats off to the interior designer as the color schemes, details, and overall character of the hotel are amazing and extraordinarily well thought through. We like to thank everybody for their hospitality, and are looking forward to staying again the next time in Newport.

Each and every staff member at Garfinef House makes you feel like they are so happy you are there. So professional, yet so approachable. We ate dinner at Flora, the restaurant on the 2nd floor. Same service with excellent food. So pleased we stayed there
