Our stay here was amazing, the place was clean with a great location and a fantastic restaurant.

Great location and a really nice old building with grand stairs and an old world feeling about it. Expected Jack Nicholson to be running about with an axe.

The carpets have been changed or dyed black in some cases. It now classes itself as a guest house and not a hotel. No AC so got warm at night. Mattress didn't fit bed so was at an angle, very odd.

Hotel location and a price. 5 min walk from bus station and 5 min walk to the centrum of city. 2 min walk to the Arena. £98 for 2 nights for double room (very tasteless breakfast including)

very tasteless breakfast

The food here is excellent, and the beds are really comfortable with useful amenities like a storage space and a writing desk.

The waitress at 9:30 PM didn't mind our late arrival and need for food. The hotel is within about ten or fifteen minutes' walk from the ferry boat dock (from Porec or Zadar, for instance) and ten minutes' walk from the intercity bus terminal. But so is another nearby hotel. Look at a map of hotels in Pula. The daytime desk clerk courteously (and desperately) explained the many problems that this establishment faces and that guests therefore face, too.

It was a splendid palatial hotel l00 years ago but it's decrepit in parts (I took photos) with peeling paint, an elevator that comes so slowly that most people walk up and down stairs, a sad air, dreary tan and brown decor, pigeon droppings on windowsills, and mosquitos galore. It has been officially downgraded from Hotel status to Guest House status and should be further downgraded. The desk clerk explained that the city is rebuilding sewers and water conduits outside the hotel and yet there are no screens or air-conditioners to keep mosqutos out. We had to buy a chemical aerator the second night to get any sleep; we had hardly any the first night. If you stay here, come prepared with the aerator, brand names Raid or Vape and follow instructions with care. We were awake most of the first night killing at least 50 mosquitos. The chambermaid did clean the blood off the walls by the next day. The stench from sewer works starting at 6 AM is not the management's fault but no guest needs to tolerate that. Another hotel close by is far more appealing, and for cheap rooms, you can't do worse than this if you ask the tourist office for private room recommendations. In short, we hated our experience at what is now officially called the Guest House "Hotel Riviera,"----no longer Hotel Riviera.

The Riviera is a classic hotel, with huge rooms, huge corridors, friendly and helpful staff. We stayed there cause we wanted to be close to the port where we were booked to take the boat to venice. It was less than 50 metres away, and also, a short walk from the train and bus stations.

In my opinion the only problem was that our room didnt include air conditioner, so we had to leave the window opened overnight and that invited the mosquitos to get in. Its a great hotel, dont get me wrong, we would have enjoyed it more if we had mosquito repellents.

The place was clean and quaint, with excellent and efficient staff at the reception desk, a delicious breakfast, and conveniently located near parking.

I'd like my stay at Hotel Riviera

Lovely old Hotel, very kind staff, nice location .

No air conditon, so quite hot.

The room was really big 😊 and had AMAZING ocean views. It had a balcony, a terrace, and a nice desk, which was super convenient.

The staff that we encountered were very helpful and friendly.The position of the hotel was excellent. It was only about 5 minutes walk from the bus station,the train station (such as it is) the harbour side,boat trips and the amphitheatre. There is a ramp going up the few steps in the reception area and also a lift. We had breakfast (which was ok) on the terrace outside the dining room. The bedrooms and bathroom were both clean .

It appears that the hotel was built in the early 20th century and this certainly is reflected on the outside. Regretably it is not so inside. An obvious effort has been made in reception and on the 4th floor,new carpet on the corridor and the doors to the rooms looked good. The window casings in the rooms were in need of some maintenance and paint and the walls out side were a bit crumbly in places. On the terrace for breakfast what should have been a really good view of the harbour was obscured by large tall trees which also made it rather dark (I imagine not the fault of the hotel).

staff are helpful/city maps supplied location convenient for bus station

location inconvenient for downtown sightseeing & area not good for restaurants as 10-15 min walk to downtown restaurants etc breakfast very basic no hot food & only i choice of juice no tea available & room very stuffy overheated as no fan or aircon

The venue was clean and charming, with incredibly friendly staff at the reception desk and a fantastic location near the heart of the city.

Exclusive hotel.

Reasonably spacious rooms with very comfy beds, a balcony, a terrace and a writing desk. Location right by waterfront and old town and the ocean...

The big rooms, the big halls and stairways. Dont expect modern standard
