Lovely family short stay

We had an amazing one night stay in a family room with sea view and plenty of space. Beds were comfy, shower was nice and coffee facilities were welcome in the morning. Swimming pool was refreshing img although very strong smell of chlorine due to hot tub and no ventilation which did irritated my eyes a little bit. Very happy with our stay, wish I could stay longer. Would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends.

The property is dated but has been maintained to a good standard. My room was comfortable with good sized balcony with a view towards the sea. The staff I spoke with were friendly and helpful. The area is quiet and only a short walk to the beach. Also, good value for money when you look at other Bournemouth/Poole hotels.

Good location but needs an uplift

Good location, but not enough parking for amount of guests staying. Whilst free on road parking is suggested, it is impossible to park in close proximity to hotel on a sunny day due to beach goers. It would be useful to warn guests of this in advance. Friendly staff. The hotel is in need of a refurb, very tired throughout and the room needs a major upgrade. Mattresses are well worn and on a hot day the room is very uncomfortable due to lack of air conditioning. Bathrooms are well worn, making them look dirty. Average stay but a refurb would improve things.

Very Pleasant Stay.

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.
