Lock in a great price for The Riviera Hotel & Holiday Apartments Alum Chine - rated 8.4 by recent guests.

to get started.

Comfortable, clean beds, crispy white, fresh smelling bedding. I love the Riviera, it’s a hidden gem and I only wish I’d found it earlier. The staff were exceptional and very accommodating. My only regret was that we had to leave earlier than would allow for breakfast, which I’m sure would have matched the rest of our stay. The Riviera is a shining example of a Hotel that still cares about what it does, and how it does it. Good for them and everyone who works there. Great WiFi in all areas. No nonsense, just enter the provided password and use it. Exactly how it should be! Thank you!

“Getting worse every time we stay!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night

We were staying on a Christmas party night and were informed we were in the apartments because of this so that we would be away from the noise which we thought was great. Issue was that they also put party guests in the apartments so even though we were away from the music we still had a lot of drunk people coming back very loudly throughout the night. It would be better to keep all party guests in the main hotel. Our toilet was also leaking but we couldn’t be moved due to the hotel being fully booked, we said it was fine to stay where we were but there was no real apology in the morning when we checked out. We have stayed here a few times but I don’t think we will be back as it has been slightly worse each time. On our last stay an alarm was going off all night and again no apology was given.
Great location, easy to walk down to the sea front which you can then follow to the pier and town centre. On check in the staff were very nice.

The room had 20 year old filthy dirty carpets furniture, ripped old lino no light in bathroom .left following morning to come back home,ruined our stay of Bournemouth for the weekend.
Filthy,dirty 20 year old carpets and furniture that should have been taken to tip., changed our room as they where booked with a party, and told me did not have the room we booked. 40 minute argument with the manager to cancel the next nights stay for my refund. Worst experience of staying at a hotel ever.

Lovely clean, comfortable hotel and very good price. Only moan was there was a rather loud xmas party underneath our room and restaurant was closed which we were not pre notified about. The low price made up for it I guess. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

They were having private events on both Saturday and Sunday so the restaurant was closed and we didn't really feel we could go into the bar as there was a wedding party in there.
The room was lovely and very clean. The staff were helpful and it was in a great location.
