What guests think
At Hotel Riviera, travellers highlight the lakefront setting by the ferry and bus stops, fair prices for the area, dated and small rooms with some traffic noise from the main road, and mixed experiences with the included breakfast.
Most guests describe the owners and staff as kind and helpful, though a few report impersonal, inflexible, or confrontational reception. Parking is available and the attached or nearby restaurant and bar are appreciated. Expect a simple lakeside base with great access and views, balanced by older rooms and limited frills.

코모 호수 강변 뷰 인줄 알고 갔는데 호수가 보이지 않는 룸이어서 아쉬운거 말고는 괜찮았어요 조식은 간단하고 주차도 가능해요 옆에 company bar에 와인과 안주 맛있어요 사장님 친절하세요 다음에 또 가고 싶네요

Such a beautiful hotel with a stunning view of the lake! Great value for your money, you could probably go broke staying on Lake Como but this B&B was in a great location and was so reasonably priced! Breakfast was wonderful. Check in was easy and the lady at the front desk was so kind a welcoming. It’s located in one of the smaller towns around Lake Como but there are a. Couple of restaurants nearby that are easy to walk to. Convenient parking.

Excellent séjour au bord du lac avec un personnel au top qui parle français. Proche du ferry pour Bellagio ce qui est très appréciable. Parking petit mais présent et pratique. le restaurant avec vue sur le lac est un plus. Le seul point négatif est la proximité de la route et une insonorisation insuffisante des fenêtres. Petit déjeuner complet.rapport qualité/prix plus que correct.

Très bonne adresse que je recommanderai à quiconque me demande conseil sur un lieu d'hébergement sur le Lac de Côme. La chambre est spacieuse avec pas une, pas deux mais trois grande baie vitrée donnant sur le lac. La vue est splendide. Le personnel est très sympathique et de bon conseil. Le restaurant accolé est très bon (mention spéciale pour les spaghettis alla carbonara, un régal). Pour finir, l'hôtel est idéalement situé : à quelques minutes à pied de la Villa Carlotta et de l'embarcadère pour se rendre à Bellagio, Mennagio ou Varenna. Possibilité de se garer dans le parking réservé à l'établissement. C'est un sans fautes !

Incredible value on lake como, the hotel shows its age but for the price it honestly didn’t bother me at all. Restaurant served incredible food, bar outside with amazing beer, lake view was outstanding. Breakfast was included too! With a very large selection of products including fresh pastries and juices. I would happily stop again!

One night stay as I toured the region by motorcycle. Opted for a single room. Room I had was for guests needing assistance or disabled. This was on third floor which I found interesting if lift is out of action for any reason. Room was a little small but bathroom was huge. Staff were very friendly, very welcoming and very polite. Hotel is on main road but has fabulous views of the lake. The restaurant joined on is not part of the hotel I was told but the food was very good indeed. A nice stay and nice people to be around. Good car park and lovely views from most rooms.

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.

This family-owned hotel was exceptionally clean. The pictures are exactly what you get. (It is time to replace the beds) The bathrooms are updated and extremely clean as are the rooms. The location was great for taking the ferries. Breakfast everyday was good. Owners were very helpful when giving advice as to where to go/eat/shop.

Es gibt genau drei Sachen die gut sind: Aussicht Sauberkeit Freundlichkeit der Besitzer Alles andere ist wirklich nicht gut. Wem nur diese Dinge wichtig sind, ihr seid hier richtig. Alle anderen: Direkt am Hotel verläuft eine Straße, sie ist stark befahren, da seit Jahren ein Tunnel gebaut wird. Es donnern also ständig LKWs, laute Motorräder und PKWs durch, ohne Pause. Die Fenster können dies kaum dämpfen. In unserem Zimmer war eine kaputte Klimaanlage installiert, die war so laut, dass man sie wieder ausmachen musste. Der Deckenventilator wurde nicht sachgemäß angebracht und machte nervige Geräusche, so dass man auch diesen nachts ausschalten musste. Die Tür zum Bad ging nicht komplett auf, da das Waschbecken im Weg war. Außerdem war die Türklinke ausgerissen, so dass wir nicht sicher waren, ob wir wieder ins Zimmer kommen können. Die Einrichtung ist alt, abgewohnt. Die Lichtschalter fallen ab. Das Frühstück ist genau so, wie alle anderen es hier bereits beschrieben haben. Ich wundere mich über die guten Bewertungen hier. Es entsteht das Gefühl, dass eher der Lago di Coma und nicht die Unterkunft bewertet wird.

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.

The only good thing about this “hotel” is the location. Rooms outdated but okay for the price, however very cold. On the other hand please avoid this accommodation, the receptionist I assume owner named Silvia wrongfully accused us stealing from the breakfast then started an argument being quite aggressive and making no solid point which is totally unacceptable as we were paying guests. Only the gentleman at the reception tried to deescalate the situation which made us not to pursue furthermore the situation. This has made such a bad impact on our trip, she was hitting a tone that was derogatory , was pushing the lines of bullying and was far from professional behavior.

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.

Très bonne adresse que je recommanderai à quiconque me demande conseil sur un lieu d'hébergement sur le Lac de Côme. La chambre est spacieuse avec pas une, pas deux mais trois grande baie vitrée donnant sur le lac. La vue est splendide. Le personnel est très sympathique et de bon conseil. Le restaurant accolé est très bon (mention spéciale pour les spaghettis alla carbonara, un régal). Pour finir, l'hôtel est idéalement situé : à quelques minutes à pied de la Villa Carlotta et de l'embarcadère pour se rendre à Bellagio, Mennagio ou Varenna. Possibilité de se garer dans le parking réservé à l'établissement. C'est un sans fautes !

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!!

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

We got a room with a magnificent view of Lake Como. Checkin was smooth and friendly staff. The breakfast was superb and delicious with a variety of fruits, yogurt, breads, cheeses etc to chose from. And the stops for Cadenabbia ferry or bus were just steps away.

Incredible value on lake como, the hotel shows its age but for the price it honestly didn’t bother me at all. Restaurant served incredible food, bar outside with amazing beer, lake view was outstanding. Breakfast was included too! With a very large selection of products including fresh pastries and juices. I would happily stop again!

Localisation parfaite, directement aux abords du Lac de Côme. Près des transports (ferry & autobus). Le petit-dejeuner n'est pas super, et la propreté laisse quelque peu à désirer.

One night stay as I toured the region by motorcycle. Opted for a single room. Room I had was for guests needing assistance or disabled. This was on third floor which I found interesting if lift is out of action for any reason. Room was a little small but bathroom was huge. Staff were very friendly, very welcoming and very polite. Hotel is on main road but has fabulous views of the lake. The restaurant joined on is not part of the hotel I was told but the food was very good indeed. A nice stay and nice people to be around. Good car park and lovely views from most rooms.

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.

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.
