Clean, tidy but dated
Nice hotel, slightly dated and kinda themed around an old cruise ship experience. Breakfast was good and it’s a clean place just needs a bit of modernisation

Lovely family short stay
We had an amazing one night stay in a family room with sea view and plenty of space.
Beds were comfy, shower was nice and coffee facilities were welcome in the morning.
Swimming pool was refreshing img although very strong smell of chlorine due to hot tub and no ventilation which did irritated my eyes a little bit.
Very happy with our stay, wish I could stay longer.
Would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends.

The hotel is really old and needs some urgent upgrades such as new mattresses (the springs hurt my back) and air con (it was boiling on the second floor). Also there was no watee pressure in the shower.

Amazing hotel
Amazing stay. Great bed, nice hot shower, lovely spa facilities included, delicious breakfast buffet (full English) and they upgraded us for free to a room with sea view. By far the best “low budget” hotel I’ve stayed in in England.

Very Pleasant Stay.
From the moment we arrived at the Riviera, we felt welcome. The person on reception was helpful and informative. The room, we were upgraded to, was good and the breakfast ideal. Parking was slightly limited but this was advised when we booked. Very happy and wwe would choose the Riviera again.

Good location but needs an uplift
Good location, but not enough parking for amount of guests staying. Whilst free on road parking is suggested, it is impossible to park in close proximity to hotel on a sunny day due to beach goers. It would be useful to warn guests of this in advance. Friendly staff. The hotel is in need of a refurb, very tired throughout and the room needs a major upgrade. Mattresses are well worn and on a hot day the room is very uncomfortable due to lack of air conditioning. Bathrooms are well worn, making them look dirty. Average stay but a refurb would improve things.

Fantastic value for money!
Decor is very 80s .
But who cares when there is a live pool, nice staff , clean rooms and very comfy bed!
There was an eighties style isdue with hot water when we stayed .
But again for such super low prices ..it was not a big problem!

Great views, but...
Lovely sea view, but the room had an overpowering smell of cheap air freshener with something not quite right in the background. Maybe a previous guest was a smoker?
