Welcomed by a young lad who was very friendly and gave a speedy and efficient check-in, one of the fastest I’ve experienced (sorry I didn’t catch your name). My husband and I just had a standard double room for a quick weekend seeing family, the room was cosy and clean (just a couple of cobwebs on the very high ceiling), nicely styled with a soft mattress, softer than we are used to but still very easy to sleep on. Kettle, coffee machine, lots of spare tea bags and coffee with biscuits and chocs too… lots to enjoy! The bathroom was clean and bright with an amazing shower and incredible smelling local products to use which left our skin silky smooth (you can buy some of them at reception too). The bar downstairs was well stocked with lots of local tipples, and those from further afield too, all at very reasonable prices. A chilled atmosphere, cool music and a good bartender as well (sorry we didn’t get your name either). In the mornings we were greeted by Dee who was an absolute joy! So friendly and attentive, we had a wonderful long chat with her about family, life and holidays - it’s a shame we only stayed 2 nights so we couldn’t chat more! We both had the free continental breakfast that came with the room, simple but tasty with a decent coffee and perfectly done toast. The hotel itself is opposite the loch, near the centre of town, close to the Central train station - great styling with a nice decor and lighting making it feel unique, we would happy stay again!

Staff went above and beyond, very approachable, very friendly. I had dinner in the restaurant one night and the food was amazing. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very cosy and relaxing. Only issue I can say is all the hotel rooms are upstairs, which for me was quite difficult when checking in and checking out. But other than that 10/10! I would definitely stay at the riva again.

Overpriced
Lovely welcoming staff. Tasty breakfast. Had room 15 which was a very small twin. Sloping floor which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. Felt like I was going to roll out of bed! At £108 I felt it was a tad overpriced

Very pleasant surprise!
Stay was just a 'stopover' to break up our journey but we were so impressed with this hotel. Location is great - right on the waterfront, close to parking and electric chargers. Room was spacious and very comfortable and the food was exceptional.
