Riva Marina Hvar Hotel

What guests think

At Riva Marina Hvar Hotel, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable waterfront location by the ferry, exceptionally friendly staff, and standout breakfast, while noting compact rooms and occasional marina noise that can affect light sleepers, especially in peak season.

Most guests describe modern, well-furnished rooms with very comfortable beds but limited space and some awkward bathroom layouts. The waterfront terrace, bar, and on-site restaurant draw praise, though amenities are lean and there is no on-site pool; some guests use a sister hotel’s pool. Staff often help with luggage at the ferry, though the restaurant can feel short-staffed at busy times. Expect a stylish, central base ideal for exploring Hvar.

Hotel was amazing and just what you needed after a long hot day! Welcomed with blissful aircon and a glass of sparkling wine during check in. The restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner was great, drinks were amazing and freshly made cocktails were perfect. 10/10

Can definitely recommend Riva Marina. I felt location was great as is on the Riva promenade and 30m from ferry. Thought it would be noisy but I had a lovely Seaview room and with double glazing it was extremely quiet. Staff were all very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was included and off the a la carte menu with champagne if you so desired… and I did! Great spot to people watch all day. Close to everything. Oh and they have a sister hotel with a pool that guests can use. I did, it was great.

This is an excellent place to stay in Hvar. You are 2-3 minutes from the ferry terminal yet you not really know. Very modern hotel. Super comfy bed, nice big bathroom, small fridge in room. The breakfast was excellent - lots and lots of choices, plenty of coffee, breakfast sweets and all the fruit and nuts you could want. Area immediately outside hotel is a giant bar/relaxing area full of couches and comfy chairs. Great for reading a book and a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Lots of dinner options nearby. All the staff were friendly and pleasant - could not really ask for more. Highly recommended.

My overall opinion is that this hotel was overpriced for what it offers. Importantly, if you have a rental car there is no where to park and it quite confusing with the driving directions. we had to park ten minutes away. There is no great place to drop off your bags so also had to roll our suitcases along this route. The room was very small, the bathroom layout is weird with the way the shower door and bathroom door opened, there is only one hook in the bathroom for a single towel. The housekeeping opened our door without knocking on our last morning in the hotel at 830am despite our “do not disturb” hanging on the door outside. There are no real hotel amenities. There is a sister hotel a five minute walk away that has a terrace and bar and indoor pool which can be used. The service was fine however on check in the person was new and could not answer many questions. The location of the hotel is central which was a plus. There is free breakfast with a full menu and the restaurant had good service. Overall for what we paid I was unimpressed and would not recommend this hotel and quite frankly am surprised by its high rating on this site.

The hotel is in a perfect location and has everything you need. Amazing breakfast (included in stay), and all day drinking / dining at the outdoor eating area is wonderful. Highly recommend

Impeccably clean, well appointed, refurbished smartly in 2022, it is in THE best place in the marina on the quieter side of the marina near dining, pizza, 24-hr bakery and basically anything you need to make your time in Hvar fabulous. Stay in this hotel! You will not be disappointed.

Don’t be fooled by the pics. Giving guests a clean room should be the very basic standard of any hotel. This hotel failed to deliver on the essentials of cleanliness and hygiene - even the bedsheets were used and dirty! Ruined our tip. Thank you Expedia for negotiating with the hotel to get us a partial refund.

One of the best hotels we have stayed at. Property is in a fantastic location, directly across from the ferry port. There are multiple bars and restaurants within walking distance. A vibrant young vibe with great nightlife. The hotel was immaculate, staff were very helpful and went above and beyond. The breakfast was included and exceptional, the best we have had while traveling in Europe for two weeks. The staff at breakfast, Irma and Ana really made the experience unforgettable. We had a fantastic trip and would go back in a heartbeat.

Overall very nice hotel and well situated. In summer expect a lot of street/bar/party noise. More importantly, there should be full disclosure in the reservation that the hotel is not accessible by car. It would have been extremely helpful if the hotel could provide a specific address as to where to park and expect the porter to shuttle luggage versus being told to go to a ‘city lot’ that may or may not show up on google maps. It is a 500m walk from parking to the hotel. Room is quite small, no room for luggage but location on waterfront is otherwise lovely and convenient. Wear and tear on walls are as expected for end of season visit and hopefully be refreshed for next season. Breakfast was included and outstanding. Linens and bedding were to notch. View of harbor: excellent (beware large yachts may tie up directly in your view on lower floors). Staff was very friendly and helpful.

One morning they noticed it was my daughters third birthday and brought her a candle and everyone came over and sang happy birthday! It was little details like this that separated the hotel from the rest. The people that work there are smiling and making you feel special every day. The beds/rooms were super comfortable. The decor was beautiful. The location was excellent right next to the ferry. Truly an excellent hotel!

This elegant little hotel is right on the water. When we walked off the ferry, a hotel rep was there with a cart to cart all of our luggage inside. The rooms are small, but they’re very comfortable and nicely outfitted. The same gentleman who carried our bags into the hotel, took them and stood in line for the ferry for us. The location is central to everything. The outdoor space is very charming, so it’s a great place to just people watch. I would stay in this hotel again in a heartbeat.

Fabulous location, beaches were great if not a bit pricey to rent a bed and parasol. Highly recommend this hotel.
