Breakfast. Personals not speaking good English.

The breakfast was apparently intent to Italian, because there was no vegetables at all. Only sweet food...

Some rooms are very small and the balcony as well. No war drop and no safe.

Excellent location if you want to stay near the seaside. Very helpful and pleasant staff. The owner Elina very understanding and helpful.

The breakfast items would increase. There should be a toaster in the area, and apart from sausage and scrambled eggs, which were good, other breakfast items should be included. The pastry table was excellent, with fresh items every day. AS regards coffee or tea and water, we had a good service.

The room is excellent, with a TV and air conditioning. The bathroom is clean, and the everyday service is excellent, very good. The breakfast area is quite wellcome but the items for breakfast, although they are good, need to improve a bit.

Basic but that’s all we needed as an emergency stay. We got stranded at the airport with no hire car due to flights delays and the staff at the hotel did their upmost to help us sort out collection of our vehicle. It wasn’t easy as their English wasn’t extensive but they tried their best with the help of a customer who could speak better English. We very much appreciated it.

The hotel has a lot of potential. Unfortunately unfulfilled.There was also a restaurant but it was in repair, so no other food in the hotel. It has a swimming pool which was full but unused, I asked and they told me because of the repair. I don't see how the restaurant and the swimming pool are connected?! Also no coffee before the breakfast at 7.30! I asked a few times for a doppio espresso(when I was there for breakfast )but the lady at the bar kept making them single. Thankfully some coffee shops around the bay open at 6 if you're an early bird. I know it is the season but I felt like it's a bit too pricey. Last but not least no sand beach near by unless you get on the train travelling to Barletta ,which I do recommend instead of Pane e Pomodoro in Bari.

The included breakfast was only sweet things, such as cakes and cornettos. Nothing salty. There was some prepacked sandwiches but you have to pay for them. The location is good to walk around the bay. Lots of restaurants . Bus 1 on the street above the hotel goes to Bari, but also a train station near by- Bari Santo spirito. Amazing sunrise and sunsets too! After the initial hiccup with the AC which wasn't working, we've been moved to another room. Some rooms have a small fridge, so you can bring stuff from outside. The towels in the room were changed every day.Nice garden outside and no mosquitos anywhere.The owner of the hotel is lovely!

The check in was awful - for some reason it took the guy at least 20 minutes to scan our passports. We were given the keys but it was not explained where to go to find the room. The room itself is clean but everything is very old, although for the price we paid this was pretty OK. The doors to the room do not open well, so all guests closed their doors with noise which woke me up during night.

The size of room is good, the beds are not too soft, it was nice sleep. But on the other hand the beds are also really small. You should not expect too much from this hotel. Although outside is really nice space. The breakfast included some pastry (it was good) and coffee. Ladies in the cafe are nice and very cheerful.

The air conditioner in the room was not cleaned for a long time. When you leave the room, they automatically turn off the air conditioner from the system and when you come back to the room it's hot as hell. None of the staff spoke English and communication was difficult. Breakfast was meager, a few slices of cheese, salami and ham, yogurt and croissants from the bar.

The location of the hotel was 30 meters from the sea. There was a free parking lot attached to the hotel, which was locked every night. The hotel had a lovely garden for lounging and dining with lots of tables and chairs. Also the night lights were unique. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

We booked for to rest. We were very tired from the road and we were going to fly on in the morning. There was a lot of noise in the hotel. Outside the party, even if I closed all the windows, it was loud. In the hallway as well, there was a lot of commotion, doors were slamming, people were laughing and shouting. We managed with great difficulty to fall asleep very late. In conclusion, we booked a night to rest at the hotel, we didn't manage to rest at all :( maybe it would be an idea to somehow separate the party from the rest, to have a hotel area with more isolated rooms and windows that don't go out straight to the party. I booked this hotel for breakfast, in all the hotels where I've stayed so far, this was from 7 o'clock, of course, it was good to ask about this aspect beforehand. I didn't have breakfast in the morning, I got off at 7, but it's at 7:30 a.m. Maybe it would be good to move it a bit, those who have a flight in the morning, can't benefit from breakfast. All in all, we booked this hotel to rest, but it wasn't possible, we left more tired than we were... we booked this hotel for breakfast, not to leave the airport hungry. We left for the airport, more tired and very hungry.

I liked the location and arrangement of the hotel garden.

1. The staff doesn't speak english - it was very hard to communicate with them and in some momenta we felt like they understood english but they were not willing to respond in english, they were responding in italian. 2. The breakfast options are very limited - only cakes and croissants that were left out for four days. We went to get breakfast one and a half hour before the service would be over and asked for more eggs and they told us that they wouldn't make anymore. 3. The boss is extremely rude - we got some pizza from another place to enjoy on the terrace, at first he came and told us to enjoy our meal with a smirk on his face then he sent one if the guys from the bar to tell us that we are not allowed to eat their because they have their own restaurant. 4. The walls are cracked and dirty in the rooms.

They cleaned the rooms every day, changed the towels, took out the trash.

The room was clean, the staff was very nice and helpful, the hotel is very close to the see and port, very good location. Everything was 👌. Thank you. I would visit it again and would recommend it to my friends.

### What I Did Not Like About Hotel Riviera While our overall experience at Hotel Riviera in Bari was positive, there were a few minor aspects that could be improved: 1. **Limited Dining Options**: Although the complimentary coffee and tea were a nice touch, we found that the hotel's dining options were somewhat limited. Expanding the menu or offering more variety could enhance the overall guest experience. 2. **Room Noise**: At times, the noise from the surrounding area was noticeable, especially during the night. Improving soundproofing in the rooms could help ensure a more restful stay for guests. These were minor inconveniences, and they did not significantly detract from our overall enjoyment of the stay. Nonetheless, addressing these issues could make future stays even better.

### What I Liked About Hotel Riviera 1. **Helpful and Respectful Staff**: The staff at Hotel Riviera were incredibly helpful and treated us with the highest level of respect. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist with any needs we had made our stay very pleasant. 2. **Complimentary Coffee and Tea**: One of the standout features for us was the ability to order any coffee or tea free of charge. This small but significant detail added a lovely touch to our stay and made us feel very welcome. 3. **Convenient Location**: The hotel's location was perfect, especially since we had hired a car. It was easy to explore Bari and the surrounding areas from the hotel, which was a major convenience for us. 4. **Comfortable and Nice Place**: The property itself was well-maintained and comfortable. The ambiance and facilities provided a nice, relaxing environment for our stay. Overall, our experience at Hotel Riviera was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bari.
