Riva Marina Hvar Hotel Reviews

Do NOT book here if you want to sleep Loud blasting music - impossible to sleep Intolerable Stay away Find another location Looks nice at daytime but beware You pay for this expensive hotel and are subjected to horrible noise from midnight and on

Lovely experience - we visited for food and drinks on May, was visiting from Split - excellent experience was served by Ved who oozes customer satisfaction - he really goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and content - thank you Ved

This was our first visit to Hvar on our last leg of our 14 days holiday in Croatia. Riva Marina Hotel is a lovely hotel situated right on the waterfront and is in a perfect location and only a three minute walk from the ferry We booked a double room , balcony with a sea view which was very nice , but for the price of the room it was a bit on the cosy side and there wasn't much room for your luggage which wasn't a problem for us as we only travelled light , but I imagine it would cause issues for some. The location and style of the hotel was pretty special . The food we had for a brunch on arrival and then 3 days of breakfast which was included in our booking was exceptional , very A la Carte with anything and everything including champagne. Top class food and very efficient service from the staff. You could eat indoor in the fabulous breakfast room or outside. We loved sitting on the comfy sofa's infront of the hotel in their bar and restaurant called BB bar and social club, watching the world go by and enjoying great drinks and cocktails with great views and sunsets. You also have the use of the facilities of the sister hotel around the bay , about a ten minutes walk to the Hotel Adriana , this is also a lovely hotel and you can use the spa, pool and roof top terrace with great views, which was a great addition. Highly recommend for a treat

Visited Hvar for the 1st time and absolutely loved it. Top hotel in a possibly the best location. Everything is right there and the hotel is right on the waterfront of the Hvar marina. We were upgraded to a junior suite and the room was very nice, big and comfortable. We received a bottle of proscesso too complimentary as we were celebrating my wifes birthday. We enjoyed hvar alot and requested to extend our trip by 1 night and the hotel obliged at the original rate and we continued in the junior suite. They also offered use of the pool etc at their sister hotel which was a short walk away but we didnt feel the need and didnt go there. Service at front desk, cleaning staff and at the restaurant was excellent.

This hotel has several pluses. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The location is wonderful, right on the marina and steps from the ferries to other islands. The pillows are the softest and best of any of our 7 hotels in Croatia and Slovenia. Now for the negatives. The rooms are small….SMALL!…There are no drawers, no luggage racks or place to put one, no storage anywhere. The AC can only be controlled from the front desk so you have to call to make any changes. There is no space in the bathroom either. There are no towel racks. The toilet paper holder has been installed in a stupid place. Every time you sit on the toilet, the paper falls off! It would have been simple to place the holder forward to avoid this issue.

Spent 5 days with my partner in this lovely hotel. Received a warm welcome on arrival and all the hotel team were so friendly and helpful during our stay. The hotel is recently renovated, our standard room was beautifully decorated and a nespresso machine was a nice touch. The rooms are small but this is an old building and a boutique hotel so to be expected. The bed is super comfortable with quality bed linen. The breakfast is a la carte which a treat. Lots of tasty options. The service team are lovely and a special shout out to Nikoli who went out of his way to make our stay special. If breakfast was busy it could be a bit chaotic so possibly could benefit from better systems. That said the quirks added to the charm and we would definitely stay here again if we return to Hvar. An added bonus is the use of pool and sun terrace at a sister hotel. Great views of the town, worth a visit.

Great location, right on the harbor near where the ferries dock. Beautiful views of the water and boats. Convenient to everything. Loved the coastal decor. The restaurant needed a few more wait staff to keep up with the busy demand, but the menu offerings were delicious.

This hotel was rated 4 Star but my entire family would give it 5! Staff was amazing and the hotel is beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!

THE PROPERTY WAS VERY WELL SITUATED( RIGHT ON THE HARBOUR). tHE STAFF AND PREMISES WAS EXCELLENT.

Location is very central. However, staff not the most helpful and YOU CANNOT CONTOL THE AIR CONDITIONING FROM THE ROOM! Yes! You have to call The front desk if you want the room temperature changed. Poor design for guest comfort. Just arrived and not happy with the situation.

One of the nicest hotels I’ve been to. Everything is top of the line. Stay here and you won’t regret it. We got off the boat and our hotel was five steps away..

The best place to people watch, and stay while in Hvar. The staff was very helpful with dinner recommendations and reservations. Our room was comfortable and beautiful! The island is a must while visiting Croatia!

Although in a great location, the hotel lets itself down with its poor service and inability to get the basics right. We had a bathroom with no shower curtain and a flat floor, so it was impossible to shower without flooding the whole room. On checkout we were told that this was because it was a badly designed room and we were just unlucky - sorry! It wasn’t helped by the fact that the room wasn’t serviced one day, so everything was still soggy. And the breakfast was a joke! While everything was laid out very artistically, you couldn’t get the basics, for example some cereal with milk and fruit. Or a cup of tea with milk. And the waiting staff were distinctly unhelpful. Such a disappointment from a hotel with a great location, modern, peaceful and well decorated.

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.
