Riva Boutique Hotel & Restaurant

8/10 Good
"A nice sea front hotel. We had a back twin room which was just big enough. Well decorated with a good bathroom. The breakfast was a buffet with some hot food…very high quality. No parking but it’s free for an hour and free parking is next to see the sea 3 minutes walk away Only real minor issue was the lighting in the bathroom which was so poor I couldn’t have a shave"
