Detailed Reviews
Riviera Hotel hosted the 2024 Skink Swartland dinner and travelling from Cape Town we decided to stay at the venue. The entire experience, from making the booking, check in and the stay was easy, friendly and great! On top of this, the hotel provided for a memorable celebration of the great Swartland wines, paired with a wonderful menu! Thanks for a visit which was well worth the travel!

After a long lockdown, I was keen to visit Velddrif's Riviera Hotel Bar and Restaurant facilities for some much needed social interaction. Found them to be super Covid compliant, while remaining attentive and very welcoming...total peace-of-mind while enjoying great prices at the bar at a time when many others are recouping pandemic losses by increasing prices. I will be returning. A professional experience in a safe environment.

The Riviera Hotel in Velddrif provides an affordable and pleasant breakaway to the Westcoast. The "almost family" atmosphere creates the feeling of belonging. The staff is friendly and polite and during the meal sessions the servicing is prompt with always a little light chatter. I, however, have to highlight the scenery on the Berg River where one can have nice cocktails followed by sumptuous seafood from a nice menu. Well done people!

The location and amenities are good. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the rooms.We wanted to cancel after viewing the room, as a result of the smell. We were then offered another room that smelled better, but unfortunately the rooms are very dated. The carpets in both rooms we saw are stained and degrades the whole room. My suggestion, rip out the carpets, put in nice tiles and then you can increase your room rates.

The room was big, nice coach to sit on. Our car was parked safely at the back of the hotel. TV in our room was not working, personnel came to look at it but still it did not want to work. They offered to move us to another room, but it was too late, and we were already in bed. The room was close to reception and the noise of personnel talking to each other was very disturbing. We ate at the hotel that evening; the food was very good and tasteful.

The staff and waiter was lovely and accommodating. They went the extra mile to take our supper orders via WhatsApp as we arrived very late and went the extra mile to surprise my husband for his birthday. It was nice and peaceful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Only spent one night there as we were road-tripping but we were very comfortable as a family of five.
Two adults and three children slept very comfortably in a lovely sized chalet where we never felt cramped.
Food was very good and tasty, even the youngest picky eater enjoyed his food.
Would easily be able to spend many days there without any discomfort, also the views from the verandas onto the vlei are spectacular.
Very family friendly with friendly staff and management, thank you.

Stayed in a chalet next to the river and the view was very relaxing. The chalet was spacious and the bed was comfortable and large. The shower gave plenty of hot water and the WiFi was good. Safe parking for the car next to the chalet behind a locked gate. We enjoyed having a cool beer in the lounge, with views over the river. We ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was good. Unfortunately there was load shedding the next morning at breakfast time and we could not wait .. altho staff were doing their best to cope.
Yes: I would stay here again. This is an independent hotel presumably owner managed and not part of a chain.

The place was stunning and clean and the views were amazing. We had such a good family weekend as we felt so spoilt throughout our entire stay. It was so safe that my son could go fishing on his own without me worrying.

From the minute we walked into the Riviera Hotel until we left, we were treated as VIP guests and felt very welcome. Rick and his staff ensured that our stay was amazing. Being on honeymoon we enjoyed the honeymoon suite complete with spa bath. We could to relax in the lounge and enjoy the views.
