Residencial Riviera is one of the nicest hostals I've ever stayed at in either Portugal or Spain. The room is nicely furnished, clean and a decent size. It had a minibar and a television with English speaking channels. I had a room overlooking the pedestrian street and with the windows closed, there was not much noise. The breakfast was good... more

Thanks to previous reviews, we booked room 211 and were not dissapointed. We agree with all the other reviews - this is a great value hotel from the free car parking at the end of the street to the generous staff and very spacious and comfortable room. In fact even though this was probably the largest room we stayed in... more

There is nothing bad to be said about this hotel. We are very experienced travellers. This is one of the most charming hotels we ever stayed in. The rooms are spotless, large, well appointed. The hotel is situated just off the main square in a pedestrian street. The neighbourhood is very quiet at night. The staff is very friendly and... more

The Riviera is a lovely residencial in the heart of Evora. A friendly, efficient staff and a beautifully decorated interior make this place a real jewel. Based on input from another member, we requested and received Room 211 – a magnificently spacious corner room with king-size bed. It was the nicest room we’ve ever had for this price! Breakfast was... more

My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Residencial Riviera and would gladly return there. The rooms vary in size; we had a pretty large room but we saw some smaller doubles. The entryway and rooms are quite beautiful: typical Portuguese tiles, white paint, and arched masonry ceilings. Rooms have cable TV, phone, minibar. No hairdryers in the bathroom,... more

The Residencial Riviera is located in the medieval city of Evora (a World Heritage Site), with it’s cathedral (largest in Portugal) just up the street and the Roman Temple Diana around the corner. Upon arrival (complimentary parking in the... more

Ask for Room 211 - it costs 5 euros extra but for that you get a lovely large room about 25 sq m (250 sq ft) overlooking the interesting pedestrianised street that comes up from the main square. We got a 5 eueo per night 'Senior discount' and liked it so much we stayed for 8 nights. (It was better... more

Family of 5 travelling at Easter (March 2005), we found this via the Turismo service in the main square. The rooms were bright, well furnished and very clean. The staff were helpful (and hardworking - the reception manager the day we arrived was exhausting to watch). The location is excellent and price a reasonable 40 euros per room. This was... more

I stayed here with my boyfriend during a very hot August 2003 and we loved it. The room was bright, clean, airy and a good size with a big, spotless bathroom. The room and the hotel generally were tastefully decorated and breakfast was good. The service was very professional and polite and overall I thought this place had a more... more
