Riveira river view room. Good hotel, Large rooms with bed facing window and sitting room. Sitting room included 2 work stations. Tipped porter to get an extra luggage rack but never saw him again. Staff pleasant and helpful when requested, but help never offered so room for improvement. Free internet but it took 3 trips to lobby on second day... More

An overall clean and comfortable hotel once you get past the over-smart check in people. Check-in time is 2 pm and even when we reached at 4 pm they wanted us to wait more as people had not vacated the rooms( same relaxation not allowed when you want to check out!). Once in, everything was fine, staff was courteous and... More

I stayed here for business for a week. The rooms are pretty good. Service was very good... staff courteous and polite.

Fresh fruit and bottled water provided. Breakfast is a huge buffet selection of... More

We recently stayed 3 nights in the Riviera, breaking our journey home from Heathrow to Sydney. We found the hotel's location very convenient for exploring the spices and gold souks, which were fun to wander through and interact with the locals. A supermarket upstairs in a street behind the hotel was quite well equipped, especially for accessing snack foods for... More

We recently spent two nights at the Riviera Hotel on the way to Italy and then five nights on the way back to New Zealand. We were made to feel most welcome on each visit and at no stage foel like 'just another tourist couple'! The rooms are very well appointed and with double glazing there was no noise from... More
