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 the Creek, and it was so quiet, considering the hotel is on Baniyas Street, which is very busy. One week after I left for India, I arranged to meet a friend from UK back in Dubai and sadly, the Riviera was booked for part of the time we wanted. However, we did go in a couple of times for afternoon tea, just to sit and watch the world go by, and all the staff remembered me and gave me a really warm welcome. When my friend returned to UK, I was lucky enough to get back into the Riviera for my last night there. On arrival at 11am, it was a nice surprise to find my room was ready (check-in time 2pm), I again had a beautiful room with Creek view, and they also upgraded me to Executive Class, which gave me free use of the fridge, 2hours free Internet use, basket of fresh fruit etc. Also included in the cost is a buffet breakfast. The attention to detail is superb, here I felt relaxed, and being on my own, I felt very safe. I cannot wait to go back there. It is also not far from Deira city centre, and it was relatively easy to get taxis on the main road. Highly recommended.

    • Tips/Secrets: — If going to Jumeira beach for the day, be prepared for delays getting back due to heavy traffic

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. The breakfast, far more than we could eat, was a good idea.

I hope to return to Dubai and will not look elsewhere.

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 you would expect, the sevice is good, and the breakfast is great.
The staff will organise a taxi for you, and are willing to help when needed. We ordered room service very late at night, and it was beautiful (maybe because we were so hungry).
We will definitely stay here when we venture back to the amazing Dubai.

“Pleasant Riviera”

5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed for 5 days and enjoyed the Riviera very much - only complaint was no swimming pool and it was 40+ celcius. Breakfast was excellent, good variety. The Hana restaurant served Asian food - very tasty and even the fake beer was good (this is a no alcohol hotel) All the staff, without exception, were extremely friendly, pleasant and helpful. If you are considering this hotel we would advise booking a Creek view room and taking the executive upgrade as it is well worth paying a bit more for. The location in Deira was a good choice for us as opposed to the beach area - more interesting and without all the road works going on there.

I am a travel agent and spend lots of time in hotels. This hotel is probably more a high 3 than 4 star, but taking that into account - the location is fantastic, the service excellent, room spotlessly clean.

The staff helped me plan my day for sightseeing, and advised on shopping spots.

Will definately stay here again.
