The Riva is a nice hotel but very expensive for the size of the rooms. You cannot really accomodate 2 big luggages. Vey convenient if you come from the boat from Split. Very clean, staff professional but distant. Food and drinks expensive. You unfortunately pay for the location... Next time we will try a guest house. More

Choosing to stay at Riva Hotel in Hvar was one big faux pas in our European trip - apparently there was hype when the place opened (presumably because of the location and marketing at yuppie clientele) but there were so many inconveniences and discomforts involved in staying here that it was a downright burden. From banging my head on the... More

Nice stay at the Riva Hvar Yacht Harbour Hotel. The hotel was nice but the location was unbeatable - right across from the waterfront. Beautiful views and lots of nice cafes and activity nearby. The ferry boats also dock a few feet from the hotel. Rooms were in nice condition but were a little small and quirky in terms of... More

The hotel is very well located only 100 metres from ferry terminal. The rooms however are unbelievably small unless you stay in a suite. The staff I found to be very friendly and helpful. The private beach club (bonj les bains) was expensive but a very relaxing way to enjoy the location. More

Located directly on the water-front or Riva, the hotel really sits in the middle of things. Arrival by car means that you have to meet a porter at the parking where they take your luggage and walk you to the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful with reservations in restaurants and at the Bonj les Baines private beach.... More

stayed here in September and had a great stay. Wonderful location (right next to cat from Split) and great to people watch from area at front of hotel. Staff were also very helpful, although didn't know much about suggestions for things to do in the area. The only negative about the hotel was the rooms, they are quite small (although... More

We stayed here for 3 days in September in a standard sea-view room. We knew from reading other reviews that it would be small, but we were totally unprepared for how uncomfortable it would be for two adults with large suitcases. There is very little storage space. We had to unpack one of the suitcases and stick it under the... More

Stayed here for about 6 days. Gripes: The hotel helped to mess up my 'power boat' arrival with a shrug of their shoulders... food is pretty low grade and only matches the out of date, naff promo video that loops on the non-functioning entertainment system in the rooms... I never got my films channel to work, and when the IT... More

We knew what to expect before we arrived. The hotel we wanted to stay at was booked solid (the Adriana) and so we took a room here. Yes, it was small but adequate. A big picture of James Dean looked past us and at the bathroom - which is separated from the small room by a glass wall. Under the... More
