We really enjoyed our stay at the Riva. It is an older property that has been updated and was a perfect spot to relax in between our outings in the area. The train station is so close and we enjoyed walking the area safely

My niece and I really enjoyed our stay at the Riva. It's a small, intimate hotel with bar that is very nicely appointed and beautifully decorated. Fabulous location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast, comfy beds and excellent shower!

If you stay here ask for room 2, loch views, large room. Hotel is noisy but the beautiful room makes up for the noise. Bin men come at 6am on a Sunday and can hear the people above you all the time. Bathroom door is odd as can see your partner the whole time they are on the toilet. Room is clean and modern and very big.

No hot water to have a shower on both days. Breakfast not that exciting. Room very small for a twin room needed to keep light on all of the time due to not very big window.

Small double rammed into a single room.
Pros: - Friendly staff who cant do more for you - recently renovated - good location - good continental breakfast Cons: - a double room was booked, however A small double bed was crammed into a single room for us with not enough space to move or unpack. - bathroom was tiny, incredibly difficult to use. The sink was coming out into the middle of the already limited space. - shower door didnt close and opened into you whilst showering. - dressing table drawers couldnt be used as they were blocked by a wall. - old, very springy mattress. - very bright fire light on all night which kept us up, along with the door that rattled all night.

The food was superb with lovely decor. Very friendly staff. They could do with a full length mirror and shelf and hooks for coats in the room. Wonderful shower. Beware the kitchen shuts at 8pm. Could do with brightening the outside of the hotel as not very inviting from the outside, loads of free parking over the road. I would go there again.

Poor Customer service, in the bedroom & bathroom things are broken and not working properly. Late night the hotels was audible because there was a pub next room near the reception. The breakfast was disappointing with no hot meals just continental breakfast. Lastly early check out of 10 am with no comprise and extra fee charged for later check out. Very disappointing stay 😟

Welcomed by a very friendly lad who was new to the hotel. Room small but clean and good price. Very dog friendly. Sunday evening and told by rather sullen manager (who did mellow slightly) that we couldn't have anything to eat. Eventually agreed we could (info said last order 8.45 and this was about 8). Excellent pizza and salad with friendly waiting staff.
