Myself and my partner (both in our 20s) stayed at the Riva for four nights in early September. The hotel's location is ideal, situated right on Hvar's picturesque marina, just opposite where the ferry to and from Split stops. Because of the hotel's location, we found the room quite noisy at night, especially on the Friday and Saturday, as there's... more

I would definately stay at this hotel again. The location is perfect. Right on the main strip. The rooms are small but as I had expected. Rooms are very modern. We also got free access to Bonj Les Bains which was a suprise but great. more

My husband and I spent 2 nights at this wonderful hotel. We rented a car in Split and traveled by car ferry to the island. The drive from Stari Grad to Hvar Town gave us our first taste of the island....gorgeous. When arriving at the harbour we found that we had to park outside and walk in to the hotel... more

We absolutely adored our stay at riva. Everything about the riva was perfect. it is located directly across from the ferry so it is an easy walk with your bags. We booked our room months in advance and paid approx 99 EUR/nt and were upgraded to a sea view room on arrival and also given a spa voucher to the... more

This place is definitely meant for lovers with the nude murals in the hallways, the tight quarters, and the lack of privacy in the bathroom. Hotel Riva is wonderful for couples. The location was perfect with easy access to the ferry, Carpe Diem, and restaurants. Despite all of the partying happening outside, I never heard a peep from my room... more

Just returned from a 5 day stay at the Riva. Many of the reviews are accurate. Rooms are small, but not as bad as some make them seem. We had two large suitcases and various bags and we had plenty of room. Our friend had one of the balcony rooms which was nice for a drink. The bar out front... more

Just came back from a week at the Riva...the hotel was fantastic! Very modern and stylish. Great service. We had a room with a balcony, only 4 rooms have balconys so if you have the chance to request this, it's very worth it! The rooms are VERY tiny...almost not enough room for two suitcases, but we did not really care... more

The good thing about the Riva is that you literally fall off the ferry into the hotel. We were offered an upgrade to a room with a balcony facing the water which was very trendy. The room itself is really only big enough for 1 person to be in at any one time. Interesting decor, but not practical. We had... more

Having just returned from my first trip to Hvar, I now know why everyone is so positive about the place - the island is stunning (great natural scenery, clear blue waters, friendly inhabitants) and Hvar Town itself is absolutely beautiful. With such attributes, it's hardly surprising that the travel press has described Hvar as a "must see" destination. However, a... more
