Riviera Hotel

Nothing makes up for the shabby, dirty, insect-infested rooms. In spite of it's historic Art Deco facade, the photographs are misleading. Everything was filthy, including the linen. The carpets and curtains were frayed. There were cobwebs and spiders everywhere. The room was not ready at when we arrived at 5:30pm (it was the case for a few other guests too). We were told to wait in the bar, but no complimentary drinks were offered nor a discount. When the room was finally 'cleaned' there was no TV remote. After two visits to reception, when they failed to provide a working one, I could do nothing but stare at the grubby walls and wonder how they had the cheek to call this 'luxury' and charge 120 for the privilege. If you are a big fan of Art Deco, look at it from the outside and then get out of there as fast ast you can!

Despite sign outside saying welcome to non residents, when we drove into the car park of the very run down hotel, I got out to take a photo and a very rude angry man suddenly appeared and asked us rudely to leave. I was going to enquire about hotel and how much would it be to stay here. AsilBut blimey, rude angry man would put anyone off. Must have been gorgeous in its heyday but not now.

Although the hotel seems to be refurbished it's not something I would return to anymore. Impression of an eastern hotel in comunists era. Very poor front desk service, rooms looked clean at the first view but were not at the second.. First impression when we were forgot to be given card for electricity and after finding that only one little bathroom window was locked without key was disappointing. Card was given to us promptly but window couldn't be unlocked because cleaner locked it and it could be unlocked by maintenance guy only who was not there and should not arrive until the other day. We were advised to use fan to get steam out from the bathroom but when I looked where to switch it on I realised there is actually no fan over there. Breakfasts satisfactory.
