My sister and I had two days last weekend here. The reviews were not great but there must be a lot of picky people out there! The setting of the hotel, overlooking Weymouth Bay and Portland was excellent. The hotel is very mediterranean in design but very modern style inside. We had a twin room without seaview which was in... More

Booked a last minute stay at the Riviera Hotel in Weymouth, Dorset. Had a great weekend stay, friendly helpful staff, great Elvis tribute band, competitive prices for room and bar and very nice food. Have booked up again for July.

We arrived on the 14th May and although the hotel rooms were all clean and the cleaning staff were very good, the rooms themselves were very small. I later found out that it was the old Pontins holiday camp so these would have been the chalets. I also found that every time you moved you banged your shins on the... More

We stayed there for the first time 5th May,but we didnt like the 3pm check in,and because of problems they were having which were not their fault, we could not check in until 5pm which was a bit of a let down as we had only booked in for one night. Apart from that we were very happy,we had a... More

When you look at the hotel, the rooms are clean and look good. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin. My wife and I were disturbed by the next door occupants returning from a night out at 4:00 am and talking until 6: 00 am. hence no sleep. Not the hotels fault I know. But I could not contact the reception... More

I visited this hotel in March. Our room right could only be entered via an outside walkway, and it was a very wet and blustery weekend, so we were drenched before we got to the room. The room was on the first floor and at the end. This meant that, as there was a huge gap between the door and... More

I picked this hotel despite the varying reviews showing on here. The hotel itself is perfectly situated for the coast with the Jurassic Coast not far and various tourist attractions a short drive away. Upon arrival, although the staff were very helpfull, it would have been good if they knew a bit more about the hotel such as breakfast times... More

We had a very pleasant stay at the RivieraHotel, it's in a great location and the views are stunning. Arrived early and parked up, greeted by Rob, who was very friendly and assured us it was OK to leave the car for the day. Walked into Weymouth along the beach, took 50 minutes (as advised by Rod) and checked in... More
