Paid for sea view and received a back room with a dirty balcony and broken chaise lounge and no view. The area was ok but staff not very friendly or helpful.

Pleasant Stay
We had a pleasant stay at the Rivier. The reception staff were helpful and accommodating. We had a large terrace which was a bonus, although it did need some TLC. Good breakfast

September 2023
Our reservation was cancelled by hotel Riviera’s staff the day before we were going to check into the hotel. Their initial given reason was that it was a technical problem. We called them and they said it was because of a broken window. They booked us into another hotel without any consultation. When we arrived in Rapallo we went into the hotel they booked us into and they had no knowledge of reservations made by Hotel Riviera. It was very stressful especially finding hotel they booked us in was of a much lower quality without the location and sea view we had booked and confirmed with Hotel Riviera months prior. We went to Hotel Riviera and spoke with staff who informed us that we were canceled because they had overbooked our room and that the new guests were staying for the more expensive nights. This situation should never have come about if Hotel Riviera had honoured our confirmed booking. We wrote a complaint to Hotel Riviera and requested a response and to this date no response has been received. We hope that Expedia investigates this unethical practice. We would not recommend Hotel Riviera to anyone due to there being absolutely no guarantee they would honour any future reservations, confirmed or not.
