The hotel is a bit dated but clean,friendly and helpful staff apart from the security personnel who didn't seem to understand it was a works party for a large company and not a nightclub full of undisierables they were rude and if anything trying to cause trouble. Breakfast is limited but the food was ok. I would stay there again.

This is a traditional B&B with all the right values, which include friendly staff. It is no-frills, but that is not to disparage it. The location is fine, it is quiet but urban, the clientele is mostly pensioners and occasionally conference delegates, but middle-aged, primarily senior citizens. It gives them what they want and does so well. The staff were kind, patient and helpful. It is a model of its kind, and while others will find it faded, I accept it for what it is. It made people happy, including me.

Comfortable but a little tired

My stay at the Riviera was what I expected from a seaside town, it was dated, but comfortable, the room could do with an update but I slept well, breakfast was everything I needed.

Lovely place to spend a weekend in Bournemouth. Chose it for its proximity to Alum Chine beach. Having the pool was definitely a bonus and we made use of it every day. Breakfast was good too, nothing too fancy though. Good value for money!

Very comfortable. We did have a problem with size of the TV in our room and bar lounge. We felt they could have been larger as watching from across the room and bar area.

Great location just a short walk from the beach at Alum Chine. Nice family friendly facilities with bar with games room and indoor swimming pool. The only complaint was that the room was very stuffy and in the corridor it felt like the heating was on in the middle of summer. We opened a window and had the fan we found in the wardrobe running but it would’ve been quite unpleasant had we been there during a heatwave.

Home from home

We stayed at the Riviera for 5 nights and had a fantastic experience. The hotel room was immaculate - super clean and well-maintained. Breakfast each morning was delicious and plentiful, with a great selection of cooked items and pastries that the kids and I really enjoyed. We also appreciated the leisure facilities - swimming pool, jacuzzi and gym. It was never busy at the pool so the kids and I spent a great deal of time there in the evenings. The staff were a highlight of our stay. Everyone, from reception to the restaurant/bar staff and housekeeping, was friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel’s location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and only a 10 minute drive to Poole. We loved our time at the Riviera and are already looking forward to staying here again next time we’re in Bournemouth.
