Had a lovely 2 night stay at the Riviera hotel Bournemouth. The staff were all lovely and welcoming. The hotel was clean, as we're the rooms. The Breakfast was very good, and quality items available. We used the swimming pool, although a little cool, it was nice. Definitely would stay again
We were on a family trip, and chose the hotel for the indoor pool, was affordable and close to beach. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and breakfast was excellent. We will stay again. Highly recommend.
Staff were very friendly , great to have parking on site and a nice location. Enjoyed the pool and spa, only drawback was the uncomfortable bed and limited options for the restaurant meals .

There was an eighties style isdue with hot water when we stayed .
But again for such super low prices ..it was not a big problem!

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.
