More of an inn than a hotel, cozy and clean enough. Good lakefront location with ferry stops and bus stop nearby. Meets expectations :)

Excellent

Great location to start and end the day on Lake Como

Lovely hotel and lovely family owners. Really close to the ferry to Bellagio and some good restaurants and bars within a short walk

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF AND VERY CLEAN THROUGHOUT

Nice hotel right on the lake which gave us a stunning view to look out on. Rooms were basic but clean. Breakfast was nice with a continental offer and able to sit looking over the lake. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Would return again

Very good value for the room price. Staff was helpful with busses and boat questions. I got a handicap room, not what I thought I'd booked, but it was fine. Loved my view of the lake.

I booked a room with a balcony through Expedia, but upon arrival, we were told we couldn’t have it because we were staying only one night. The receptionist explained that those rooms are reserved for guests with longer stays. Additionally, the hotel is clearly short-staffed. Only one person seemed to be handling everything, and she prioritized her own convenience over guests’ experience. For example, although there are lovely outdoor tables with amazing views for breakfast, she refused to let us sit outside, saying it was too difficult for her to serve both inside and outside tables. The only positives were a clean bed and bathroom, which is why I gave 2 stars. Overall, very disappointing.

Very nice Great view Lady on reception as so accomdating

Have stayed here before and will probably do so again when passing through Cadenabbia

Hotel staff was super helpful, excellent breakfast

Hotel Rivera is on a quiet avenue just in front of the lake. At the corner the bus takes you to Lake Como in about 50 minutes which is great. They have a continental breakfast. The hotel is very close to Villa Del Balbianello!!

Great location beside the water in Griante with views across to Bellagio. For 20 euro take C10 bus along lakefront to Como town bus terminus, then slow ferry along Lake Como to Bellagio, then car ferry back to Griante / Cadenabba for a full day explore very cheaply.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! An incredible location, great staff and hospitality, and quiet comfortable rooms!

Great view of lake, room was a little run down but bathroom was huge.

The absolute best thing about the Hotel Riviera was the staff. Friendly, welcoming, helpful. Sylvia is an angel. We had several conversations about family and life. Their ristorante was excellent and the waiters professional. The Hotel Riviera is a gem. It is about 200 meters from the ferry which takes you across the lake to Bellagio in 10 minutes It is considerably less expensive than any accommodation over there. If you’re looking for an economical alternative to the overpriced 5 star hotels along Lake Como, stay here. Tell Sylvia that I sent you.

Great place to stay, the owners and hosts are very very nice and service was incredible, I’ll be back but will request a bigger room with balcony next time

Cannot speak highly enough of the staff and hospitality, will be staying here if we come back

Great staff and pretty view.

Quaint hotel that is privately owned and the family is pleasant and welcoming to visitors. We learned so much about the area and the personable staff really made our stay extra special!
