What guests think

Riviere South Beach Hotel draws consistent praise for its excellent location near the beach and restaurants and for friendly, accommodating staff, while overall value depends on travelers' expectations of its simple, no-frills setup.

Rooms are often spacious, but several reviews note dated decor, noisy air conditioners, thin walls, and occasional bathroom maintenance problems. Breakfast is widely described as very limited with a small seating area, though beach towels and chairs are provided and umbrellas may cost extra. Street or nearby construction noise is mentioned at times. Expect a convenient, basic stay focused on location.

Didn’t have parking anywhere around, lots are full. Call property, was going to park at airport and use there shuttle. They said shuttle was not available. Was misinformed by resort when I booked. Going to contact my bank and file a report. I will not pay for this. I just started using Expedia so I will see how you can handle this situation.

The breakfast included was weird it was just toast and limited to one pastry per person and not even a fruit also chairs are included at the beach but only two per room so if your four in a room they need to pay for the chairs and umbrellas are NOT included u would need to pay for them by day. Room was very clean so that was a plus. It’s definitely a 3 star

Went to South Beach with my girlfriend and found this great hotel. Overall a great stay. Pros: Location! Close to restaurants, bars and the beach. Walgreens is maybe 30 seconds walking from the hotel in case you need snacks, water, etc. Included in your resort fee are sun loungers at the beach, you just have to rent an umbrella (roughly $22 USD) and they’re yours for the day. The room itself was perfect for 2 people. Room was clean and as depicted in the photographs. Water temperature was perfect. Complimentary breakfast was ok, not really any variety, just scrambled eggs, toast, some pastries, coffee and juice, and once they run out of items they don’t refill them, so get to it early. Cons: A little loud at night, but considering your location in South Beach, it’s to be expected.

Simple hotel room, close to the beach. It’s great that chairs are included. Note it’s only 2/room and the umbrella is NOT included which is kind of a bummer. Staff are very friendly and a basic breakfast helps get the day going

The parking was $30 a day. It was about 1-2 blks away. You had to unload luggage in front of the designated spots to check in (only 2 spots so if they were not available you would need to find one close by and walk to hotel to check in). I loved the location of the hotel because it was near Ocean Blvd.

I chose this property because I was coming in for a short period of time and wanted proximity to the beach and the convenient amenities that came with it like beach towels and chairs. I should have chosen elsewhere. The staff were very kind, knowledgeable and friendly but the accomodation itself was subpar. The beds were comfortable and the living area was spacious which was nice enough but nothing close to the elegant and "luxe" pictures posted for the booking. The biggest issue was the bathroom - the tiles near the baseboard did not seem clean and the shower was a hazard. Quite literally. There were many tiles that were breaking, if I stepped a certain place the floor would sink, and the door wouldn't shut all the way so the water came out all over the floor. When I showed the staff at the front desk the pictures and video of the shower, they seemed surprised; this made me wonder if any staff had actually been in there to clean the bathroom as there's no way they would have missed that if they had. They also don't offer parking, which I knew ahead of time but thought the pros would outweigh the cons. They did not.

A tidy little spot located within walking distance to all the spots in South Beach. A big perk is that the hotel loans you a beach towel and the use of a chaise with an umbrella on the beach!

This hotel has zero amenities and is very very basic. Aside from a spacious room, it offered nothing in return for the elevated rates. The breakfast was beyond mediocre. There was construction next door which started at 8 am. I could not have breakfast outside due to the noise and dust. The shower-head and showerbar in my room were broken but other than telling me that the parts have been ordered nothing was offered or done to compensate for the huge inconvenience. The girl at the front desk was pleasant but not helpful or trying to retain customers or make guests return.

As soon as we got into the room, it had a horrible musty/mold smell in the room. I went back to the ceck-in desk to ask for a different room but was told they were full. The desk gal said she would note my complaints and I could talk with the manager in the morning. The manager told me the musty smell was due to the ocean air but assured me that it was mold. But she also didnt acknowledge that my daughters family was in a nearby room that didnt smell at all. Our room smelled horrible, Along with the smell, there was clearly a lack of maintenance that I also brought to their attention. The full glass shower door didnt close as it was scrapping on the tile floor, the shower also had missing tiles inside the shower floor. If someone would try to push the shower door shut, the glass may shatter or the bathroom door is pushed to far open, it hits the shower door. The bathroom sink was loose from the wall ( clearly safety issues). One of the window air conditioning units also looked like it was either missing some insulation around it or was pulling out from its space. I did take some photos but dont see how to attach. Continental breakfast consists of yogurt, coffee, juice, and 1 pasty handed out by staff. The space to eat is their lobby and holds maybe 10 people sitting very close. I wouldnt recommend this place. Clearly in need of maintenance and updates.

I went with low expectations but we were only staying one night before a cruise. The receptionist was SO welcoming. We arrived early and our room wasn’t ready but she held our bags and offered a changing room. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very simplistic- just cereal, toast, oatmeal, fresh fruit and a single danish offered per person. It was close to restaurants, the beach, and shops. The restaurants and bars in the area were great.

Not a very warm welcome. Breakfast poor-there are NO EGGS OR FRUIT like some pictures show. Very spacious rooms, apartment like (at least the one we stayed in). But dirty, floors haven’t seen a good vacuum and mopping in a looooong time. We needed the space as we were traveling with a toddler (exclaimer: they do provide infant/toddler cribs but they come with NO MATTRESS, just the hard pad that the playpen comes with to keep the bottom of the crib from collapsing. Our child managed to still sleep on it but just keep that in mind. Decent stay for the space that we needed but would not stay again. It is close to the beach and you get two chairs at the beach.

This is a very old hotel which could use a refurbishment. The air conditioner was old and noisy, the bed moderately comfortable. The shower delivered plenty of hot water; however, the bathroom sink delivered only cool water in spite of reporting this. The bathtub had lost some porcelain. On the plus side our room was very clean, wifi was excellent, The safe functioned and lighting was excellent. In addition we had a small kitchen and the room/suite was large. The hotel provided a continental breakfast which I found just OK. The location is excellent and the hotel provides beach chairs and beach towels; a beach umbrella is an extra charge. I thought the price was fair. All in all this is not a luxury hotel and while it has a lot going for it I probably would not stay at it in the future.

Area was nice, and we had plenty of options for dining. It was nice to get beach chairs for free. I expected more from the rooms though. Our room was so noisy because of the AC. There was neither a single cloth hanger in the room nor in the bathroom for the towels/cloths. Breakfast was so basic but ok. Staffs were really nice and helpful.

I notify Front desk that we will be checking in or around midnight and was told that they will send us an email late afternoon between 6-8pm with our room code n password. Then 8ish rolls around i kept calling the front desk like 10 times and no one pickup. Then right before i had to board someone finally pickup. I was so frustrated with them thinking we would be homeless for the night. We settle in around 1am and the next morning. I don’t know if it’s the same front desk lady but she was practically sitting there pretty much doing nothing. It just makes you wonder. Definitely would not recommend this place to anyone. Bad customer service for real.

The Attendant at the front desk Ariel is very good at provinding excellent guest service. He is very accommodating to a guest needs. I like that he treated us with respect, patience and helped us with our reservation. I don't care much for the hotel but people like Ariel makes you want to come back and give a try one more time to this hotel.
