Great views, but...
Lovely sea view, but the room had an overpowering smell of cheap air freshener with something not quite right in the background. Maybe a previous guest was a smoker?
This will have been the 4th or 5th visit in both apartments and rooms and the staff are always helpful and very friendly and the place is always clean and tidy.
I had a lovely stay at the Riviera. My room was immaculately clean. The staff were kind and helpful throughout my stay. Nothing was too much trouble. The bed was comfortable and my room was warm and light. Lovely size bath for a soak. Plenty of clean towels.
From the moment we arrived at the Riviera, we felt welcome. The person on reception was helpful and informative. The room, we were upgraded to, was good and the breakfast ideal. Parking was slightly limited but this was advised when we booked. Very happy and wwe would choose the Riviera again.
What a wonderful surprise the Riviera Hotel was. The staff were all so polite and helpful and the room was spotless and a god size. Thank yoh for a lovely stay, we would love to return soon.
Bar and restaurant were good. Friendly staff. The rooms need updating. The bathroom in desperate need of replacing. Bed was uncomfortable. We checked in and went to our room. It smelt of wet dog which was horrendous. They gave us another room straight away but the original one should not have smelt like that.
A return trip to the Riveria hotel fantastic location very close to Alum chine beach and Westbourne in the other direction. Rooms are extremely clean , nice fresh fluffy towels. We were fortunate to have a room with a balcony with wonderful sea views and of the Isle of Wight. Even a rainy stay wasn’t spoiled as lovely pool and hot tub so didn’t mind staying in. Looking forward already to our next stay lovely friendly staff too.
Very helpful reception especially as we misplaced our room key. Very friendly staff at breakfast and dinner and food was really good.
The room was quite small and maybe a little dated but was very clean.
