Hotel Riviera - Seoul 37.52146, 127.05535

Wanted a neat hotel stay with a swimming pool for our daughter. But she had to be 13 of age in order to get in to the pool. Then the purpose on staying at the hotel was at no use. Pitty ...

I went to Seoul for a weekend trip with my girlfriend and stayed in hotel Riviera. The hotel was nice inside with many restaurants and sauna/pool facilities and staff were helpful: we were helped by the concierge desk on finding our way and picking restaurants. Our room was nice size but a bit cumbersome with an uncomfortable bed and slightly strange furniture arrangement with a desk in the middle of the floor. the hotel location wasn't ideal with a half an hour train journey to most of the sights we wanted to see. Although travelling using the underground was easy and very cost efficient, i'd recommend staying somewhere north of the river for easier access to sightseeing spots.

Great location for business in Kangnam district. Efficient and tentative service throughout the stay. Definitely will stay again and again for next visit to Seoul.

The stay was overall good. The hotel is very nice and clean. We weren't really expecting the hotel to be this great. Check-in and check-out was very quick. The staff was very helpful. As far as the rooms, we had 3 beds in our room and were only expecting 2 which was a plus, because we each had our own bed. The only issue is, the beds were very hard, and the lighting wasn't very good. The bread shop downstairs was very nice as well as the sky lounge(very comfortable). We did order room service and it arrived very quickly. The location was also decent. The COEX Mall is just a few blocks down as well as the subway stations. Cabs aren't too expensive either. This stay was overall better than expected and I would recommend this hotel for other visitors.

The Hotel was nicely furnished and in a good area. I had alot of problems communicating with staff as very little english spoken. Had a major problem with Room Temp as the hotel had not turned on the air conditioning and still had the controls set to heat for the entire hotel. They did provide me with a plug in fan to try and help cool the room down.

This is definitely a four-star hotel. The check-in process was fast and within five minutes of arriving, I was in my room. Check-out was just as easy. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. This is a great place for westerners to stay.

I stayed for a week. Check-in took less than ONE minute. Very clean room with flat screen TV, and great view of the Han River. Located within a short walking distance to a Subway station. The hotel offers free shuttle bus rides to the Coex Mall. The breakfast was excellent, high quality, and very rich. Enjoyed very fine Japanese and Chinese meals at the Oriental Restaurant. The staff was very polite, helpful, and professional. Highly recommended hotel.

The hotel offers free shuttle bus rides to the Coex Mall. The breakfast is great, plenty of fresh international dishes, sea food, and sweets. Enjoyed very fine Japanese and Chinese meals at the Oriental Restaurant. The staff was very helpful and very polite. Certainly will stay at this hotel on my next trip to Seoul. Very highly recommended. Excellent deal for your money, you get much more than what you pay for.

This is no way a 4-star hotel. When I first arrived they lost my reservation and I had to wait around until they could find more information about it. After checking into my room, I realized the room was definately not a 4-star hotel. The bathroom door had a frosted glass window, meaning you could pretty much see straight into the bathroom. They also charge $16+/day (more than any other hotel i've been to) for internet. We tried going down into the business center downstairs but they charge about 50cents/minute. For Korea being one of the top internet gaming cities, I wouldn't expect them to charge so much. Overall, I was dissatisfied when it came to my hotel but would expected less if it was listed as a 3.5 star hotel.

Please don't show credit card Don't let bring a credit card and ID in manager room. May be you have big problem

We liked the hotel, nice clean room, close to the subway etc. Although the staff working in the reception was not very welcoming - 2 weeks and not a single smile or "good morning" ! that´s bad! The hotel also charge you big time for using the internet.

decent business hotel, clean rooms, too bad the airco did not work (+25C in room). Breakfast ok.

loin du centre ville, mais tres bon hotel. tres bon rapport qualite prix

Prima hotel, goede sfeer, mensen zijn hulpvaardig echter de kamer is een beetje smoezelig en bedompt.

Bokade det här hotellet för att det var ett av de billigare i Seoul, men det kändes som jag fick minst en stjärna mer än jag betalade för. Lägg inte pengar på taxi hit, den bekväma och luftkonditionerade flygbussen 6006 stannar precis utanför hotellet.

Detta hotell var nog en utav de största överraskningarna jag upplevt. Tittade man på priset så förväntade man sig absolut inget speciellt - men tji fick vi. Förstklassigt hotell med stilren och klassisk interiör, flera restauranger med olika teman och en service man länge kommer minnas. Receptionen hjälper en med allt från att ringa en taxi till att boka dagsturer till olika platser i Korea. Extremt hjälpsamma och förvänansvärt bra på engelska, vilket är ett stort plus i Korea. Finns absolut inget negativt att säga om detta hotell. Gångavstånd till metrostationen (höger) och till lyxshoppingdistriktet (vänster). Vill man utforska de andra stadsdelarna av Seoul så ta en taxi - något fruktansvärt billigt. En halvtimmes taxiresa gick på 10 000 kwon vilket är knappt 60 kr. Vi tog metron en gång sedan blev det bara taxi hit och dit... Vi åt middag på restaurangen, tog drinkar i hotellbaren, åt och drack allt i minibaren och beställde roomservice flera gånger. Trots detta blev denna vistelse en av de billigaste jag någonsin gjort! Nästan så att man skrattade när vi checkade ut. Kort och gott: för bra för att vara sant. Blir det en visit i Seoul igen så blir det utan tvekan Hotel Riviera igen!

Dit is een net hotel met nette niet al te grote kamers. Het personeel spreekt slecht Engels en zijn niet erg behulpzaam met de uitleg van hoe je naar het vliegveld terug moet of wat er in de buurt gezien moet worden.
