I have stayed 3 nights in the Riviera Hotel in January 2008. The hotel is very good located if you wanna feel the the life of the harbour. It is just at the dow harbour (ie not the most elegant part of Dubai). The view from the balcony was great to the Creek. The hotel is mid-size, tipically for those,... more

My wife and I were at the Riviera for two nights during a stopover vacation in Dubai. The room was excellent. Also, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The morning breakfast buffet was excellent. It was included in our room rent and we enjoyed the variety and all the items were delicious. The hotel is also located very close... more

I and my family spent 3 nights at the Riviera Hotel in Dubai. We were looking for a property that would accommodate all four of us - two adults plus a 2 y.o. and a 3 y.o. We paid for the executive package upgrade and it was well worth it. We had a creek view room, and the view really... more

The bathroom of my "suite" had known better days, water pressure was so weak that I had to use cold water to make it powerful enough to shower. The best... more

I first stayed at the Riviera on a stopover from UK to India. The courtesy and kindness of the staff was second to none, and they made my stay so comfortable that my stay was not long enough. My room had spectacular views of Dubai Creek, so it was nice to watch the dhows and the little abras ferrying up... more

Like others I chose the Riviera based on Tripadvisor feedback. We also found it a pleasant hotel, well located, offering good value with extremely friendly and helpul staff. We stayed for just 15 hours while passing through and staff almost insisted that we should have breakgfast in our room at 4:30am as we were departing long before the restaurant opened.... more

Found this hotel on TripAdvisor after reading all the reviews, booked through stayxs and got a great rete on Creek View room (pay the extra and stay in one of these). The Hotel is on the main street and right in the heart of it, the views of the creek are incredible. The room is a good size, with everything... more
