The whole property was clean and well kept although a little tired in places. We had booked single occupancy for eleven golfers. Of the eleven, nine had comfortable and... More

Our stay at this hotel was brilliant. The staff were very friendly and competent. The breakfast was very good and the service at breakfast excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The evening food both in the bar and the restaurant was superb and value for money. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The dog also enjoyed his stay. More

We have stayed at the Hotel Riviera for over 20 years now (having seen off 2 previous owners!!) and have always had a really great holiday. We have noticed that, over the years, people have opted for Bed & Breakfast only and we find that this is really odd for Mark, the chef, produces some really wonderful meals every day... More

We have already booked again for next new year and if possible will try to visit during the summer as well. An excellent hotel... More

We used to visit Bournemouth very often and know the town well. When we looked through the tourist brochure prior to making our booking between Christmas and the New Year, the Hotel Riviera was attractive because it is close to the West Cliff and thus only a short walk to the sea. It also offered spa facilities at the nearby... More
