Hotel Riviera

The room was clean and more spacious than I expected. Free wi-fi access helped me a lot to search for information while my stay. If you come from Gimpo Airport, taxi will be the best choice. This hotel locates at Cheong-Dam, but there was no bus which goes directly to Cheong-Dam from Gimpo Airport. Incheon Airport has bus service to Cheong-Dam. The nearest subway station is Cheong-Dam of line #7. It takes about 5 minutes walk to/ from the hotel.

Very interesting hotel for first trip to Korea! Quiet neighborhood. Gift, snack, and coffee shop combo in the lobby, gifts and coffee were overpriced but snacks were reasonable. Approx 20-30 minute walk to the COEX shopping center. Seemed to be a very safe neighborhood. Coffee shop around the corner was very convenient for breakfast. Other restaurants nearby were all good too. Everything in Seoul is extremely expensive!!!

The quality of break fast is very ordinary for the price they charge. Not much variety nor very tasteful. Also when enquired about an Indian restaurant, the front office person said there is no such one in nearby area whereas i googled and found at least 3 within 2km radius. otherwise, no major issue in the hotel and nothing much also great to write about.

The room wasn't old but not Modern. The gym wasn't 24 hours, which was a real negative when you haven't adapted to the time change.

Overall facilities are good, like the choice of buffet or a la carte dining in The Color restaurant on L1. However, breakfasts are pricey if you don't have this included in your rate. Only 5-6mins walk to Cheongdam subay station so good access to the city and wider Seoul.

Very good enough to stay for business trip. You can find a better hotel than Hotel Riviera if you pay much more. If not, this hotel will be the best hotel in that area. I was very satisfied for 7 nights. Highly recommand.

Staff was very helpful with translation issues. Great restaurant picks and shopping.

The hotel was great. We were only there for a nice "get-away" and it was just what we needed. We never had to leave the hotel. We had massages, good food, wine, and at night we went up to the lounge for drinks. Room service in the morning was very prompt and tasty. The only thing that was a bit ridiculous was the prices of the drinks in the restaurant. A coffee was more than a plate of food. Seemed very strange to us so we just drank water. Otherwise it was very nice.

This hotel is simply great value in comparison to other alternatives in Seoul . Its well located for businessmen with local places to eat and entertain and sufficiently 'grand' for meeting business associates. Rooms are well equipped and maintained ,though its not a new place and is not a sparkling palace so to speak . Best extra bits are the Gym spa and pool facilities , there are really 5 star in my view . The low points are maybe the restaurants , which at my stay were not well frequented when I was there and at $10 for a filter coffee I am not surprised Hence my advice is : stay here , use the facilities, and eat out
