Hotel Riva Del Sole

Nem lyan, mint a képeken

Liked: Around the hotel could be beautiful, llike inside the garden but it was not like in the pictures! Absolutelly not!!! Far away from how it is looking in real!!! The breakfastt was really good! Caffee was just perfect!! The employment in the hotel were very kind, helpful and nice people, Daniele, the man in the bar was my favorite! He was gorgeous and very nice person!
Disliked: It is not a 4 star hotel.. my opinion max. 3 star.. need some refreshing inside, too. the room was not so nice, no safe, I ask a kettle what they give me.. it was great. there are some uncompfortable things, small thiny shower cabin, no hanger on the wall for towels, u can not put anything in bathroom only on the floor.. no shelfs or sg.. nothing! bed was soft . The walls are very thin and you can hear everything from the neighbors.Awful view from room.. really!! First I changed for a 2. One, but that was worst and after I ask back what was before.. really not nice rooms.. dark and cold. Nothing was open in the end of April, no pool, u can not go for the beach side from hotel cos they closed it!!! Only open from 1 of June til 16 of September.. in a mediterran area??? Come on!!! I was disappointed cos I booked a hotel cos of the sea side and beach! But nobody could go there.. and rent a car if you dont have it there you are lost!! Taxi are extremly expensive what I also didnt understand.. its ok.. to visit for ones but only after 1 of June!

Passable

Liked: Staff were good
Disliked: Room was small dark and dingy, the photos on the website were not taken anywhere near our room. Nothing opens here until June, this should be noted on the website! Won't be re booking

Very good

Liked: Beach was limited, rocky.Breakfast was great with a large selection and very fresh.Room was relatively small but comfortable, quiet and nice and new. Ideal position for airport as very close.
Disliked: Pool was not filled as early in the season.Restaurant menu was limited but again we were there very early in the season and may get better later.

Good

We will not be back!

Disliked: Pictures were not an accurate description of this property. There is a lot of maintenance that needs done. Rusty railings, landscaping, cleaning sidewalks and other walkways etc. On our receipt it showed breakfast included which was not honored because we were in an attached property apartment advertised with the Hôtel accommodations. This may be a better place to stay in the summer. We booked 3 nights and left a day early.

Will always choose this when...

Liked: Location is great, near the airport and near Giovinazzo with lovely restaurants and cafès. The breakfast is very nice, the esspresso tastes perfect and the staff very friendly and proffessional.
Disliked: There are no slippers in the room, which especially during winter makes it not comfortable when staying in the room. Bathtub had some hair. AC is kind of loud. Pillows are not comfortable.

Very good

Very good

Liked: It's close to major road and not far from the airport. Possibility of public transport to reach the city. Very convenient for someone with independent transport (i.e. rental car).
Disliked: It's a bit vintage hotela, should need some refurbishment.

Beautiful place, disappointed on closed...

Liked: The location, the beach
Disliked: The pool was locked, we had to keep asking for it to be unlocked , and the surrounding pool area was filthy. the beds were removed on the beach after the 2nd day we were there, ,which was very disappointing as we liked using them, we couldn't get a drink in the day on the beach restaurant as it was closed, we had to keep walking back to the hotel, we couldntbeven get a coffee We were slightly out of season, but didn't expect things not to be open. Our villa room was uncomfortable hard beds, dark inside and not luxurious at all, no seating area outside. Anne Marie and David were exceptionally lovely and probably the reason why we enjoyed it there. The location was beautiful, the swimming area wonderful. In season probably would have been a different experience. BUT the facilities should be open to facilitate paying guests even when not in season.
