My stay at Riva Hotel had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and I appreciated the included breakfast. However, the location was quite far from the center, and I had issues with the room cleanliness and shower facilities.

I faced some problems with the cleanliness of the room and the shower was draining poorly in the first room. I did receive a new room quickly, which was good. However, the showers seemed to need some fixing as there was also a hole in the shower hose in the second room.

The staff was generally friendly and helpful, especially one girl who had lived in Ukraine. However, there seemed to be some organizational issues, which impacted service at times.

The hotel was located quite far from the city center and the nearest metro station. Although Uber is cheap and made getting around easier, I did notice an industrial area nearby.

The breakfast was decent with a variety of options available. It included items like cheese, scrambled eggs, olives, and fresh juices, but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel lacked some basic comforts, like proper noise insulation from neighboring rooms, and it felt more like a hostel than a hotel at times. The absence of a swimming pool was disappointing as well.

My stay at the Riva Hotel had its ups and downs. The hotel offered a free airport pickup, which was a pleasant surprise, but the overall experience was overshadowed by several issues. The location is quite far from the center, and access to the nearest metro station requires a good walk. While breakfast was decent, it was nothing to write home about, with limited options.

Service was hit or miss. Some staff were friendly and helpful, but there were moments when I felt unsupported, like when the card machine didn't work or when I had to chase after basic supplies.

The hotel is pretty far from the city center, which made exploring a bit challenging. While there's a nearby bus stop, I found getting to the nearest metro station required more walking than I expected.

The Wi-Fi was painfully slow during the evenings, and the elevator was a huge letdown, often taking ages. There was also a lack of basic amenities that I expected from a hotel.
