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?!

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.

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.

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.

This is a very nice hotel without all the Dubai flash. The decor and ambiance is very nice with a mid-east flare. Great location. I took daily walks along the waterfront daily (across the street) and dined at nearby cafes and browsed the shops. Very much enjoyed my stay at the Riviera. The staff was more than friendly and most helpful. The breakfast buffet was great....great selection of foods and ethnicity. Plan to stay again next year.
