Bad experience ever in my life
Service really poor staff on the counter. Customer service was very annoying. Didn’t know how to respect him woman though and never less to let us to check in on time even we send an email about my flight delay and everything they know all things still they make big trouble to us every time when we pass through there was just checking to my family. Is that stay with us or no if you are my place how it was you feel that is really disgusting. First time I seen that hotel you guys are called four star. I think it’s less than zero star.

Incredible hotel!
Allowed early check-in and upgraded our room for free. The staff were absolutely lovely and our room was fantastic. Very clean and the creek view was incredible. We could see Burj Khalifa and Dubai Frame part the creek. The breakfast wasn’t bad at first but I can’t complain because the offered to make whatever we wanted the next day. Overall, lovely stay.

Great location wonderful hotel
Great location, amazing staff. Breakfast was ample with a good variety from many countries. The staff is that of a 5 star hotel from the porter to check in and breakfast staff to housekeeping. Everyone made us feel welcome. Even when we couldn't check in early, they welcomed us to leave our bags or just sit and enjoy the views.

Exceeded expectations
Wanted a more local feel. So. Moved from downtown to this hotel. Wonderful decision. Staff was amazing at every level. From check in to breakfast, the porters and housekeeping. Everyone made us feel welcome. Great location and very safe. We wanted a creek view and we're put in a lower level (1). The view was awesome. The AC was a little loud but worked. Breakfast was ample and diverse. The omelet station was a nice touch and they changed the grill items daily. We even had chicken fajitas this morning.

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.

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?!

Good Deira location and good value
As a previous resident of Dubai, the hotel met all my expectations: namely being in a great location in the older part of the city, a few minutes walk from Baniyas square metro station, restaurants, supermarkets and shops of all kinds. It also was clean, friendly and helpful staff, and good value for money compared with newer hotels. The only issue is no parking, but having a car in that area is a hassle compared to using the metro and taxis. A taxi to the airport is 25-30 Dirhams and 10-15 minutes. I recommend the hotel, and want to give particular thanks to the employee who helped me round up the 10 dirhams in coins which I needed to park across the street (but not easy to find a space) on the day I checked in and before returning a car. I would definitely stay there again.
