Riviera Hotel Ningbo

I stayed here for one night. The room was comfortable and some minor maintenance (ripped carpet and smoke marks on the carpet) would make it great! Bathroom was good and clean. Bed was comfortable with good pillows. The hotel has a great breakfast. Both Chinese and western. I chose the Chinese breakfast (yum!). This was one of 5 hotels I stayed at this trip and it was number 3 in the ones that I stayed in. Good value for money!

I have stayed in this hotel at least 10 times, the first time just one week after opening. As other reviewers have noted, it is surprisingly nice for a China managed hotel. The rooms have what would be expected from a western style and managed hotel in China but at a lower price. Beds are comfortable - not like sleeping on plywood. The bathrooms have good lighting, hot water and great pressure. The WiFi is adequate to conduct Skype video calls or Webinars. There are always english speaking hotel staff available so if you don't have an interpreter staying with you no worries. I recommend purchasing the breakfast with the room. It is better than average with something for everyone including made to order eggs. Close by are several restaurants, a fruit market and shopping. There is also a nice Chinese restaurant in the hotel along with a dinner buffet in the same restaurant where the breakfast buffet is served. I recommend both. If you need a hotel in the North-Northeast side of Ningbo you wont find a better value than the Riviera. I have tried most of the hotels in the area and this one is by far the best.

Very close to industrial area and has a shuttle service for close by. Next to supermarket so getting to munch or drink is easy . Even fast food like KFC is 1 min walk. Reasonable rate. So business trip sense it is perfect place. Rooms are nice and comfy. Breakfast is having lot of option, check-in checkout is very easy and quick.
