The Riviera is an average, 3 star hotel. Nothing stood out as particularly bad, but nothing was particularly great as well. At $100/night, the price is reasonable for what you get. One odd thing I wasn't used to was that I couldn't find a power outlet in the bedroom. The internet experience sucked, I had to call down to the... more

This Hotel is located within walking distance from the Gold and Spice Souks. Breakfast is EXCELLENT!. Great food, fresh and well prepared. The employees here are very helpful and nice. Bellboy ASHOK and Lobby employee Ataf were wonderful. They helped me a lot. Very cooperative, they made me feel at home. Internet is only 20 dirhams per hour in the... more

We arrived at the hotel about 6.30am for 2 nights after an overnight flight from New Zealand. They knew to expect us early but our room wasn't quite ready. The man on reception was apologetic and our luggage was locked up securely. We asked if it would be possible to have our breakfast when the dining room opened as we... more

Samar Khalil told Grace to put us in a wonderful room overlooking the Dubai Creek that we had requested. What a... more

A reasonably priced hotel is hard to come by in Dubai, but the Riviera is clean, comfortable and friendly. The staff greeted us by name as we checked in and had sorted out everything we'd asked for. With three children we like interconnecting rooms but big chain hotels can never guarantee this. The Riviera did and upgraded us to Creek... more

The Bathroom was a little outdated but perfectly fine. The food from room service menu was very well priced ,nicely presented and really... more

Yes it's not top notch, but this is more than adequate esp when you are comparing price with quality. We booked a triple room at sth like US$230. We arrived by a late flight at around 11pm. Absolutely no problem with check-in. The (Asian) lady at the reception was very friendly and was apparently very sympathetic with our rush stay... more

I have stayed 3 nights in the Riviera Hotel in January 2008. The hotel is very good located if you wanna feel the the life of the harbour. It is just at the dow harbour (ie not the most elegant part of Dubai). The view from the balcony was great to the Creek. The hotel is mid-size, tipically for those,... more
