We had a 3 bedroom unit. The unit was large with one ensuite bedroom and the other two shared a bathroom. The beds were very hard and the pillows much too stiff. The unit has a full kitchen that was clean. The sitting rooms lounge suit was old and sticky. They need to be replaced. We had a balcony overlooking... More

The first room we had was a bit grim, a small studio facing a brick wall which was quite dark and quite noisy. Thankfully after our first week we swapped to a bigger studio which had a balcony and a sea view which was perfect for catching a few rays and people watch. The staff, espacially the cleaning staff were... More

This hotel is Ideally located close to Clifton and Camps bay beaches. Sea point offers many restaurants and shops. Shop at woolies supermarket for high quality ready to eat meals and snacks. We also went to the V&A waterfront and Table mountain with the Cable Car for sundowners. The rooms are tiody and they all have small kitchens which makes... More

The refurnished Riviera Suites apartment currently owned by First Reserve is a good RCI time share resort at peaceful Beach Rd, in Sea Point. The staff was efficient and cheerful. Riviera provides free tea and fruits during afternoon tea time. If you need to explore Cape Town, it is also very convenient. You just wait opposite the hotel along Beach... More

The Riviera Hotel has been renovated and they were still busy doing fittings and refurnishing in the reception area when we arrived. Our apartment was on the ground floor. The rooms were lovely and the apartment was warm in spite of them not having a heater or air conditioner. We had a sea view but we would have preferred to... More

Something about the Riviera that just didn't click. It doesn't feel like a hotel or a sublet or anything in-between. The closest thing, really, is an airport lounge. The Riviera was once private apartments, but the property was bought and renovated by a property management company. They focus on timeshares, but rent the units as well to fill in any... More

We arrived to very slow service. After waiting for an hour we were eventually allocated another room. Though our arrival was a not so pleasant experience, the rest of our stay was perfect... The Hotel Riviera is centrally located and the scenery is beautifull. Even though Cape Town in general was very busy with all the tourists, Sea Point was... More
