Despite a few mentions of limited or repetitive options, the overall consensus portrays a highly positive and fulfilling breakfast experience at Hotel Rivage. It's described as generous, varied and of excellent quality, making it a memorable part of the stay.
Dinner
However, several logistical and operational issues dampened the overall dining satisfaction. The restaurant's closure on certain days, specifically evenings and mid-week, limits dinner availability and room service options. This has led some guests to seek alternative dining spots in nearby Sorrento. Additionally, there are complaints about the restaurant being expensive, particularly for the small portion sizes offered during dinner.
The poolside bar and restaurant, while praised for its good service and pricing, received negative feedback regarding the quality of its food. Moreover, the lack of basic room amenities like kettles and irons, along with no evening bar facilities, added to the dissatisfaction for some visitors. The breakfast options received some positive recognition, though diners would appreciate more variety and the ability to dine in the evening without facing limited food choices.
In summary, while Hotel Rivage provides an appealing daytime dining experience with beautiful views and refined cuisine, the operational limitations and inconsistent dinner quality suggest it may not fully meet the evening dining expectations of all guests.
Rooms
However, there are several recurring issues that guests have highlighted. Many reviews point out a lack of soundproofing, resulting in noise disturbances from adjacent rooms and common areas. Some rooms suffer from poor maintenance with reports of plumbing problems, leaks, mold and musty smells. A few guests mentioned that their rooms were darker than expected and some lacked natural light or had uninspiring views, such as facing a wall or overlooking parking lots.
The housekeeping service has been described as inconsistent with some guests pleased with daily cleaning, while others noted insufficient attention to detail. Additionally, a few reviews have mentioned that the pictures of the rooms online do not always reflect the reality with the actual rooms sometimes appearing dated.
Despite these drawbacks, many guests still found their stays comfortable due to the hotel's spacious rooms, cleanliness and the lovely views from the balconies. For those prioritizing space and modern design, Hotel Rivage can be a good choice, though it's worth being aware of the potential for noise and occasional maintenance issues.
Beds
Several reviews praised the softness and comfort of the beds with terms like "very comfortable bed", "super comfortable beds" and "comfortable bedding". However, other comments suggested that the beds could use some improvements with mentions of springs being felt, plastic sheets and the discomfort of combining single beds to form doubles. Some guests also pointed out that the beds were average or small and in certain cases, noisy due to old mattresses.
Overall, the comfort of the beds at Hotel Rivage appeared to vary widely with several guests enjoying a good night's sleep while others found their beds lacking in comfort and quality.
