Rivage Hotel

Perfect location within walking distance to most things. Good breakfast. Room clean and fresh

This hotel is in a great location at the end of the main street, overlooking Marina Grande, so it has lovely views from the upper floors and isn't hard to walk to from the train station. We were on the 2nd floor and the view was OK, but would have preferred to be on the 3rd floor. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was fine, some strange items (chocolate cake, carrot cake, c9ffee mousse!) but the croissants were great. There was fresh melon with tubs of yogurt, ham & cheese and other cakes. You can order omelettes and some other cooked eggs but have to pay extra for these (3EU) you will also be offered one coffee and will have to pay extra if you want more. Strange as you can eat as much as you like from the buffet. When we had an early morning trip to get to they were happy for us to take a few items away with us which we really appreciated. There is a bar here which has a very limited menu but still good for a nightcap. There are a few seats outside the bar, on the terrace by the small pool, and on floor 3. The pool is very small but wasn't busy when we went so was fine, and there's a terrace area with sunbeds and parasols with a nice view. As others have said, the soundproofing in the rooms is non-existent. We could hear the 2 ladies talking loudly in the room next door (and singing in the shower) as though they were in our room! Luckily I take ear plugs with me so I wasn't woken up, but my husband was frequently woken by people banging doors & dragging chairs over the tiles. Might be a good idea for the hotel to put up signs to remind certain guests to be respectful of others. The hotel is very clean, room size is fine, bathroom (shower only) was large and shower was great although the shower tray filled up and overflowed if I washed my hair and was in there for more than 3 minutes! We did report this but it still happened every day. Bed was comfy. Not enough hangers but we always take our own folding travel hangers with us.

Hotel decorated with good taste, comfortable bedroom and bathroom. It has a bar, pool and very cozy outdoor living area. The breakfast lounge is all glazed with stunning views. If you arrive by boat take a taxi, because with luggage and even taking the elevator to the highest part of the city where the hotel is located, the distance is great. Remember to match the price of the taxi before you get in it. The fact that it is located on Via Capo adds many positive points to the rating of this hotel. Walking on Via Capo whether day or night is super animated. It will always be full of people, lots of restaurants and shops to explore. Getting to the pier to go by boat to Capri, Amalfi or Positano requires a short walk to the elevator. To get to the cities above we went by boat and returned at the end of the afternoon by bus. Make sure, however, the time of departure of the last boat and the last onibus. Breakfast is good without more compliments, especially because if you want a second cup of coffee or cappuccino you will have to pay more 4 euros, if you want mixed eggs , plus 3 euros. I've never seen it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even by the hotel level, which is very good.
