Reviews for Hotel Riviera
Review 1:The room was a bit cold, but we did choose to visit in the winter!
Review 2:The family who owns the hotel were nothing but welcoming to us from the start! They gave us great recommendations and made accommodations for whatever we needed. Lake Como is very cold in December, but the hotel made us feel warm and welcome! The bar next door gave us equally awesome treatment for fantastic prices.
Review 3:Hotel Staff is really friendly and helpful.They are always happy to provide more information about the area .I am really happy about the great service
Review 4:We ordered one night and we chose to stay another night due to the hospitality and the good wiling of the owners. The breakfast was nice, the room was clean and big and the hosts were great. The location of the hotel is excellent, in front of Como Lake, a minute walk from the ferries.
Review 5:This is a unique charming hotel with a caring family staff. Andrea (son/staff) makes the perfect cappuccino in the morning. Both Andrea and his father took time to help us with all travel needs. I highly recommend this location.
Review 6:Towels need to be changed more regularly than once every 3 days for the room rate charged.
Review 7:Very friendly owners. Breakfast used quality products. Views from rooms stunning and convenient for everything we required.
Review 8:Very clean, friendly staff. The Riviera restaurant served great authentic food and staff were friendly. Only drawback; no air conditioning, however, pedestal fans worked for us. Room 9 gave us lake views.
Review 9:Very friendly hospitality, super, large balconies, spacious rooms and the view. The room looked at two well-equipped (sun loungers, swimming pool, bar, restaurant) the beach, which was a pleasure to choose from.
Review 10:Location,large room with wonderful view. Amazing help from Andrea and his sister Sylvia.Family ran hotel, they made us feel very special.Griante is a special place on Lake Como.
Review 11:The quality of the restaurant next to the hotel (which is not run by the hotel) is barely adequate. The food and wine is OK. Go to Rodriguez' about 8 minutes walk towards Como instead.
Review 12:Andrea is a very friendly host and looked after us very well. He was quite willing to talk to his guests and to make sure that all was OK.
Review 13:Very rude staff and please watchout the rooms and the hotel is not how it is described in bookin but much worse. The room was smelly and it had mold all over the walls. It is facing the street and is noisy (no isolation from the windows). Very weak wifi signal. My friend and I felt really depressed when we entered the room and after 15 minutes came down to the reception to leave because the room was not as described. The lady together with her all family were very rude to us and made us pay one night stay.
Review 14:the location but watchout a lot of noise from the street. Windows are not soundproof at all
Review 15:Hmmm, wifi could have been better I suppose, but wasn't bad.
Review 16:Location, free parking, spotlessly clean, friendly staff, helpful etc etc. Not the cheapest, but lovely stay.... plus the restaurant next door is great. Many thanks.
Review 17:restaurant didn't open for dinner until 7:00 PM; actually thought it was closed for the season; breakfast ok
Review 18:the view the owner/desk manager sunny rooms
Review 19:Nothing
Review 20:Nice and clean family run hotel, just by the lake, spacious room with a balcony overlooking Bellagio. Bathroom modern and completely renovated. Soundproof - there was no big traffic noise, although local bus stop is in front of the hotel. Good breakfast.
Review 21:We reached late at night, the host's son took care of our dinner at their restaurant. The balcony room was specious, clean and wonderful view of lake as promised. We felt their warm, welcoming generous hospitality. Mr Andriano helped us on train/bus routes for St. Morits. I would defiantly recommend this hotel.
Review 22:It's located near the ferry terminal from Belaggio so was very noisy on Saturday night.
Review 23:Hotel well placed on the lake. The owner kindly gave us a ride to the next town and was very informative. The restaurant is fabulous; great to have a table right near the lake.
Review 24:Bedroom very small, unable to upgrade with extra payment because we were only there for one night No AC, so window had to be open which caused traffic noise and it was like sleeping on a motorway verge Very unpleasant smells from exter drains which permeated the bedroom Male staff very rude and indiscreet at breakfast next morning regarding our parking when we were quietly eating our breakfast. He also spoke rudely and berated myself for placing the key on his counter when we were leaving. This was our worst experience in a hotel
Review 25:The rooms could be more well decorated. They are old and with just some things could be more cosy.

Review 34:Excellent views from both aspects of the balcony. Great airy double room and bathroom. Friendly, helpful manner from the owners and staff. Ideal location for transport links.
Review 35:Nothing. A lot of people complain about the road noise - but every hotel next to the road will have road noise.
