Hotel Riviera

I have just returned from a week in this hotel, sharing a twin room with my mum-in-law. Our stay was fabulous. The rooms were light, fresh and spotlessly clean as was the bathroom which had a large walk in shower. The breakfast area on level 4 was very well laid out and again, fresh and bright and a delight to enjoy your breakfast in. There was a great choice of cereals, breads, fruits and pastries along with teas and coffees. Beautiful view from the breakfast area and the terrace area. The hotel is well positioned and a short walk to restaurants and cafes. The pool area is set in lovely gardens with plenty of sun loungers, chairs and pool side soft seats. It’s across the road from the hotel which is fine, the gate is accessed with your room key. We particularly loved the quiet and relaxed vibe of this hotel. 🥰

Lovely hotel with friendly helpful staff. Nice spacious room with decent air con, safe and small fridge. Small bottles of water were replaced daily in the fridge (free of charge) which was a massive bonus in the 34 degrees heat. Rainfall shower was great. Our room was kept immaculate all week by the cleaning staff. Breakfast and evening meals were nice. We had a great view from our balcony (superior lake view room, Tui package). Drinks were reasonably priced with our evening meals and from the bar. The pool area over the road was lovely and there were enough sun beds to go round so there was not the usual ‘bagging of sun beds with your towel’ all day going on. Honesty drinks fridge worked well at the pool with quite cheap cans of Peroni, soda or water. It was a 25 minute walk to Riva (ferries go to other destinations on Lake Garda from here and they were very busy so be prepared to queue), also there’s a cable car ride to the Bastione for scenic views, castle ruins and a cafe serving coffee/cold drinks etc in Riva and you can walk the other way to Torbole along scenic lakeside paths too. There’s a bus stop near the hotel for the bus to Arco (no 2 opp the Hotel Brione)and our Tui excursion picked us up over the road from the hotel at Porto Sau Nicolo. Download the ‘Mio Trentino’ app on your phone and the hotel will email you a code once you have checked in for free bus travel in the Trentino area and for other offers. Short stroll to a shopping centre with supermarket nearby and restaurants and bars are nearby too. Bike hire shop over the road from hotel. All in all a great stay.

First of all would like to say that this is a really lovely hotel and deserves more than 3 stars. We had a great holiday and loved Lake Garda and the surrounding areas and the scenery was so picturesque with the stunning mountain backdrop. Our room was spotless very bright & airy with a huge comfy bed & pillows, really spacious room. small fridge where you get free bottled water everyday and a large walk in shower. Room cleaned & clean towels given every day. Air con worked great too. Breakfast on the rooftop every day was amazing. Lots to choose, from cereals to continental to eggs & bacon. The views are amazing up there. They have a chef every Sunday making omelettes and pancakes to order. The breakfast ladies were lovely & friendly too. As we were half board we had evening meal included which had a salad buffet to begin with followed by a 3 course meal. Honestly the food was so good and deserves 5 stars. Never had a bad meal and every course was delicious. Gala dinner on a Friday was 4 courses and was really nice. Again the waitresses all lovely. Hotel pool area is across the street accessed by your room card. Whole area was beautiful lovely trees and a big pool that was just the right temperature and lots of sun beds. They have a small self service bar area where you write down what you’ve had and gets added to your tab. And the hot tub was lovely too. Lots of cute lizards roaming around! Reception staff although friendly enough weren’t too helpful at times. We asked about getting the code for the trentino card as we had been told about it by other guests. one lady took our email and said she would email it but never did. We returned to reception a couple of days later to ask about this as we wanted to travel on the bus and the man said no code for you. This was strange as they advertise the card upon entering the hotel and every other guest seemed to have it. They also gave us wrong information about bus times too which you would expect them to know. The roof top breakfast area also seems like such a waste during the day/evening as if you want to have a drink up there you have to phone up and order but think they are missing a trick by not having a full bar up there with some music or something seemed a shame as the views were so amazing. We went up a few times for photos and were the only ones there. Also on the last day we noticed other guests had been given breakfast bags but we were never made aware that this was an option as we had to leave before the breakfast opened. Not major issues and didn’t impact the holiday but we did find this strange as its info we would have liked to have been aware of. Overall a lovely holiday & hotel just some minor improvements by reception and would have given 5 stars. Remember to bring mosquito repellant and plenty of sun cream!
