An older hotel, it seemed, but very well kept and with a lot of interesting character. Everything was very clean, staff friendly and efficient, room spacious and breakfast interesting, delicious and well presented. I recommend this hotel, if you want something with more of an older Arabic character and different from the modern style.

An excellent place to stay in Dubai
The Riviera Hotel is an excellent place to stay. Each time I stay, I'm impressed with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Plus it's in a great location right next to Dubai Creek. The rooms are well appointed, the restaurant provides an excellent breakfast - what's not to like?!

Really pleased with the service offered, kind and welcoming staffs. The hotel goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is worthwhile. Not the most modern but it has lots of character and charm.
Nice location in the bustling Baniyas road, close to the creek and Metro station with cab hailing just outside the hotel, 12mins drive to the airport at low traffic times.

I loved the whole Arabian themed decor, my creek view was beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like so much was the no parking. It made it difficult to get a taxi.

I liked being in a part of town that is old and has some history. I also liked to be on the Dubai Creek and enjoyed thaking the small ferries to visit some sights. Very convenient to the metro as well. The room was very comfortable and well furnished. The cafeteria service off-hours was great and breakfast was very abundant and offered great variety of food.

Our stay was simply magnificent!
The hotel is really charming, it has a lot of history and is in very good condition, the personnel is incredibly friendly! They went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable! It is truly a luxury experience, we absolutely loved the views from the beautiful terrace, the food was delicious as well! I have no words to describe the charm of this hotel and all of the staff, every single member was incredibly attentive and absolutely exceeded our expectations.
The room was beautiful, with astonishing furniture, we loved it!
