We really enjoyed our stay at the Riviera Hotel. The location was fantastic - 50metres from the beach or a 15 minute stroll into the old town of Alghero. We also liked Maria Pia beach a little further away. Backed by a pine forest it was beautiful and had plenty of ameneties (although the end nearest to Alghero was a... More

We stayed here on a Thomson half board package. The Hotel Riviera is in an excellent position close to the beach and about 25 mins walk from the old town. However the hotel itself is in need of some serious TLC. The food was best described as acceptable but un-interesting. Breakfast was fairly standard for Italy but with no fresh... More

A TRULY AWFUL HOTEL,Owned by an english lady who really cannot be bothered,We booked through Thomsons and cannot believe they still use this hotel. The restaurant is a joke,no choice and we were served fish broth and noodles with brussel sprouts,we never saw a tomatoe or Italian cheese and had the most disgusting onion pizza ! The attitude of the... More

I have recently returned home from a summer break in Alghero with my girlfriend, and a stay in the Hotel Riviera!! Firstly Alghero was great and so was Sardinia in general. Both of us agreed we would certainly visit again but never again would we set foot in this hotel. As many others have commented, the main problem is with... More

We had a FAB holiday, the hotel is so quiet and peaceful and the staff are so friendly and helpful. All staff from the cleaners to the owners made us feel so welcome we felt so comfortable in their surroundings. I have to say the breakfasts didn't have much variety but still nice and expected it, but the evening meals... More

Stayed a week on a Thomson's package. Alghero is a great resort - pretty unspoiled, and the surrounding area is beautiful. The hotel is 3*, and small-to-medium (about 55 rooms). Excellent value for money, the rooms are a good size, and spotlessly clean. The public areas are a little old-fashioned and a bit spartan but very pleasant otherwise, and this... More

.Well, there were limited points in the hotel's favour which I will come to. However, even as a seasoned traveller with limited expectations, I found the food atrocious, particularly dinner. The portion sizes were mingy. The choices were limited and, in spite of their descriptions, ranged from uninspiring to downright inedible ( I actually sent back a second course untouched... More

After reading all the previous reviews about the Hotel Riviera we thought ok we will go with an open mind about it and where pleasantly surprised to find the Hotel clean the staff pleasent and helpfull and the food good. Alghero is a great place to visit, and not over commercialised. More
