Hotel Riviera

We had a really good stay at the Riviera. The hotel is in a great location no more than 20 minutes walk from the amazing old town. Lots of great restaurants are close by and plenty of supermarkets for those essentials. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. We had a sea view room perfect for those amazing sunsets. We had some lovely afternoons on the balcony just enjoying the view. The room is a little bit dated but it no way spoiled our stay. The plug sockets aren't near the bed but just ask for an extension power cable at reception and it will be provided at no extra cost. The hot options for breakfast are limited but the continental options are varied and very tasty. The little gift at check out was a lovely touch. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Hotel Riviera has an excellent location (right on the water and close to the walking area, waterfront restaurants and old town). The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was great. We would absolutely stay there again if we visit Rhodos in the future!

Everything is good except water in shower which can be stop something. Otherwise staff is really kind and localisation is very good.

We stayed for 4 nights at Hotel Riviera during our stay at Rhodes. It is well located and ours was a sea facing room with a balcony. So it was really nice to see the sea while sipping our tea on the balcony. It was great to watch the sunset from our balcony. We walked everywhere and all sight seeing places are at walking distance. Our stay included breakfast, which was the usual fare, eggs, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, either spinach or cheese pie and bread and some assortment of sweets and cookies. We are happy with it. A big shout out to Katarina from the kitchen, she was an absolute sweetheart. When we wanted Spinach pie and only cheese pie was available that day, she actually heated us some spinach pie in the oven and packed it for us. I only wish they had more varieties of black tea like earl grey - I just did not like the tea they had. You do have an option of filling water from the bar, if you request for it. There are restaurants and grocery stores at a 5 minute walking distance and lots of shops too. Now for the mediocre part. The hotel is very dated and I would definitely not call it a 4 star hotel, it is more a 3 star hotel. Everything in the room looks like it is from the 70's. No proper plug points and I had a very long phone charging cord and was hence ok. The room itself was basic, but we were fine with it. We requested for a kettle and extra pillows and got it. You may need to go down multiple times if you want anything from the reception, and that could be an annoyance for some, but it did not matter to us at all. The hotel does have a small elevator. The corridors reeked of smoke, I don't know if smoking was permitted there. The room doors close with a loud bang and we could hear every room door in our floor close. You can hear the neighbors in the others rooms too. But overall, we did get a good sleep. The room was pretty clean and we did not ask for cleaning service thru out our stay and just picked up extra towels and soap from the reception. The reception staff are polite and will answer your questions and will book car and taxi for you if needed, but do not expect too much of customer service. The room safe did not work and I heard the others complaining about the same too, and it had some ancient mechanism and I regretted not calling the front desk to make it work, since we got pick pocketed in Lindos, as we carried all our money with us. Overall it was an OK stay and we were fine with it, we had a good stay.

My friends and i were very disappoint with this hotel. The staff had a bad attitude. The air condition in our room broke half way into our vacation and when i told the reception, they answered “what can i do about it?”. I eventually got a half broken fan without cover protection. The beds and pillows were stained yellow and brown. The cleaning staff did not clean well. They didn’t refill the toilet paper, we had to go down to the reception and ask for more every day. The bathroom was tiny. The shower was so small and filled the entire bathroom floor with water that did not drain or dry. There was nowhere to hang towels or bikinis to dry. The breakfast was basic with very little variety. We ended up going out to buy breakfast every day. The lights were flickering. Generally very small rooms. We could hear the neighbor rooms very well, even music coming from a room two floors above us. We only got one key to the room for all of us to share. The towels smelled like smoke. This area must have been the windiest part of Rhodes as well. The beach right across the hotel had the biggest waves and we couldn’t swim in the water; the life guard stopped us. We had to walk 10+ min to get to the other side of the beach every day. We were not satisfied. Please choose another hotel.
