I chose the hotel based on other reviews and its reasonably close location to the airport. It will still cost about 50 +/- Durhams from the Airport via Taxi to the hotel. There is a 20 surcharge when you travel from the Airport via Taxi. The surcharge does not apply when you take the Taxi from the hotel back to... More

The hotel has a fairly good location -- not in the center of things, but a short walk from Baniyas Square Metro station and the abra water transport to Bur Dubai and not far from the airport.

I found the Riviera Hotel to be very clean, with a large bathroom and a nice closet. There was a flat screen TV on the wall and the beds and pillows were comfortable. I stayed in a creek view room before a cruise, and a souq view after the cruise. Both rooms looked identical---the only difference was the view. The... More
