Loved everything, staff was great, breakfast fabulous.

A few plusses - the rooms were clean. I agree with some of the skeptical reviews - I am not sure how this hotel considers itself a 4-star and how they feel like they can charge as much as they do per night. My friends chose to stay at other properties with more amenities and I wish I had too. The first room I had on this property had mildew/mold which was confirmed by the property. At first the employee I told did not take it seriously. Eventually I spoke to the person in charge at the time and they did move me into another room that was upgraded in terms of size, but I lost out on my marina view which I had paid for and requested initially. There are no amenities on site--room service, outdoor pool, etc. The room itself lacked basics like luggage racks, bottle/wine opener, a full length mirror, coverings for open windows so people cannot see inside your bathroom, etc. I am truly shocked by the price they charge vs what is offered. In the end they gave me a bottle of wine as compensation but I could not take it with me since I was flying out and I could not take it with me.

From the moment I arrived at the hotel staff were welcoming and made me feel like I was at home, before I had even checked in the concierge asked my name and took my luggage up to my room while I completed my check in. Every day the wonderful staff asked how my day was and if I was enjoying my time on Hvar and were interested in having a conversation rather than just asking a question as most hotel staff will do as they are expected to this was very different they cared about the guests that are staying at the Riva Marina hotel. I will definitely be staying here again the next time I visit Hvar.

Staff

Absolutely wonderful stay at the Riva. The hotel is beautiful, perfect picturesque location and the most hospitable staff we have ever experienced, especially Gabriela, Added bonus.. champagne at breakfast. We also spent the day by the pool and for a lunch with a bay view at their beautiful sister hotel The Adriana We will definitely be back. Thank you team Riva.

Perfect place to stay in Hvar, great location. All staff at the hotel were kind, friendly and helpful, so happy we chose the hotel for our stay and highly recommend to anyone traveling to Hvar.

The hotel is located in the best area for doing a short trip to Hvar. This property is not for party goers. It's for the low key traveler who enjoys a clean (small) room with a fabulous location right on the piers. Breakfast was wonderful each morning out doors, people watching and soaking in the vibe. You can order dinner in the same area at night and enjoy drinks right next to the tables. The ferries from Split will drop you off a 2 minute walk from the hotel. It was a no brainer. We showed our return tickets to reception at the end of our stay and our cases were brought right up to the front of the ferry for our return. I would stay here again. Please note that on our first night there was a party boat docked alongside the property that was a bit noisy for a while but they all clear out after a certain time. The mornings are peaceful.

Extremely satisfied with this lovely hotel. The location, the decor, the customer service and care, from the cleanliness to the food were all top notch. We would stay here again without hesitation. Hvar is a must see island with breathtaking views. Very happy we chose Croatia for our vacation spot. Until next time!

Amazing location, incredible breakfast area outdoors with waiter service. The hotel is clean, the rooms are large by European standards. Overall a great experience. I would definitely stay again

Standout was service from moment we walked into the hotel. Staff could not do enough for us. Thank you

Well placed and amazing service

Great service. Someone was there to meet us to help us with our bags when we arrived on the ferry and to take our bags to the ferry. Check-in, check-out, and wait staff were excellent. The pool is at a sister hotel not too far away and it was very nice. Great location.

Absolutely amazing hotel and great location right on the water. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel is well-positioned on the Marina which makes for easy ferry transportation, restaurant access and people-watching! The staff at reception were so helpful and friendly - we appreciated the complimentary beach towels. The room itself was clean and chic with good amenities. We also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning.

the staff are amazing - great location

I highly recommend a stay here for anyone. Great staff and steps away from everything.

This was by far my best stay in all of Croatia! I loved everything about the hotel from its convenient location to the staff’s friendliness and attentiveness. It was 10/10 overall experience!

Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. Great location right near the ferries and main square. Will be back for sure!!

Great location, 100 yards from ferry terminal, 100 yards from city square. Very nice outdoor restaurant. Rooms are little but very clean. Good breakfast offering.

Conveniently located on the harbor. Noise level was never a factor for us. Our window overlooked the restaurant and it was still quiet in the room. Breakfast was amazing and included.
