Found this hotel quite by accident and I fell lucky. The hotel is beautifully presented, spotless everywhere with great food a well stocked bar (with reasonable prices) a pool and a hot tub (Bookable at no additional charge). If you fancy a night in there's loads of free games all in a very nice lounge area. The two owners who run it are friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make their guests stay an enjoyable experience. I could not recommend this hotel highly enough.

Nothing

My husband and I had a lovely stay here at the Rivera Lodge Hotel. The owners and staff were incredibly helpful and very considerate of my disabilities. The hotel was very clean, tidy, and well-located—close to the town, railway station, and regular bus services. My husband was pleased to use his Freedom Pass with no issues. We also enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Would definitely return—highly recommended!

Some of the roads were very hilly. but it did keep me fit.

The pictures make everything looks a lot bigger than real life. It is a little lodge with an absolutely amazing character. I believe it is run by the owners, who certainly go the extra mile to make your visit the most friendly, welcoming and charming. A lot of attention has been paid to the details inside the rooms and around the whole place. Everything is so functional, delicate, elegant and sweet. You can't help but feel "Aaaaahhhh". Breakfast choices are not many, but all food is freshly and nicely prepared. They give you all the local knowledge as well about where to eat, where to go and so on. Very good location to the sea, city centre and other attraction, but no sea view.

The room was too small, but we did not mind very much as we were out most of the day and the bar and pool area was very comfortable to use in the evening.

Hotel is exceptionally clean, our room appeared to have refurbished with some nice touches like a small sofa and a coffee machine. Pool was lovely and clean and welcoming bar with a good selection of drinks. Breakfast was efficient with an ordering system to select your meal and beautifully cooked with a great selection of fruit and pastries.staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Would definitely stay again. Good location short walk to promenade with some nice restaurants nearby

Parking was available but not enough for all guests and spaces were a little tight, some guests had to park on road.

Everything! The hotel is located in the perfect place for getting to the beach or having a wander into the centre. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They couldn’t do enough for you. The facilities at Riviera lodge were wonderful, especially the outdoor pool. We was fortunate to get the sun so enjoyed cocktails by the pool. They also have a hot tub which you can book a time slot for per couple which makes it more private. We booked this after a 10mile walk so it was well needed! Our room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We had breakfast every morning which we enjoyed- top quality ingredients, full of flavour and service with a smile.

The only negative that we have was the bed! It was either the springs in the mattress or the wooden bed frame but every time we moved, it was very creaky which didn’t make for a good nights sleep. It would not put us off staying again though as this is something that could easily be resolved.

My friend and I arrived earlier then the stated check-in time and they let us in very quickly. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and we booked the hot tub twice - without any waiting - at all. The room was clean, we went for breakfast twice in the morning and the service was efficient and quite quick. Breakfast was excellent. The location of the hotel is near the beach/town centre yet it's in a quiet area. There was a bar was inside the hotel and they were playing nice music all the time. If you wanted to stay outside on the patio at night you could - they had blankets ready by the door nearby. Facilities were amazing (hot tub, swimming pool, chess, pool) We recommend staying at this particular hotel.

There was a spider inside our room behind a picture that was on the wall. The room smelled moldy and had a strange smell.

The staff were so friendly, they couldn’t do enough for me and my partner. When we arrived check in was so smooth and check out was even easier. The room was standard but clean and had everything that we needed for our stay, the staff gave us fresh water and clean towels everyday during housekeeping in our room. We made use of the facilities which included an outdoor pool that was very clean, a bar which was stocked with every drink, the outside area which was perfect for reading by the pool on a sunny lounger to relax in the afternoon and we even used the hot tub which we booked in the evening in our last night - it was super relaxing and seated in its own private area by the pool surrounded by plants and flowers. The hotel was in a great location, only a 10 minute walk into Torquay town centre which was full of shops and cafes/restaurants and a 5 minute walk to the nearest sea front and pier which was again loaded with restaurants and bars. The hotel was just the perfect location for us as we used it as a base to explore the town and for us to be able to come back to relax in at the end of the day.

We had an issue with the toilet where it was leaking and making our bathroom floor wet around the base which in turn made the carpet between the bedroom and the bathroom slightly wet. We only noticed this when it was alerted to us by housekeeping. The owners explained that this was out of their depth and they were going to call a plumber in as soon as possible. Me and my partner weren’t too bothered about this as we only had a couple of nights left at this point but you could tell how genuine and apologetic the staff were about this issue. It wasn’t resolved before we checked out but I have no doubt that it will be swiftly fixed and sorted as soon as possible by the team. Not a criticism just something to note.

Located on a hill (but that's Torquay),but only 10 mins walk to the front.lovely hotel with amazing pool and garden area.very good breakfast.small bathroom in the room,but modern and a great shower.comfortable bed.staff we're very friendly and helpful.

A bit bigger room and bathroom would have been perfect,but all tolerable.A little bit more room for parking but again tolerable.A very enjoyable stay

Superb. Nicki and John are fantastic (as are other staff). Hotel is spotless. Pool and hot tub are fabulous. Great facilities. Breakfast was exceptional. So peaceful around pool area, great for some R&R.

Can speak for other rooms, not a down point but bathroom was quite small (bathroom fittings etc., and shower superb) and room quite small if you were sharing. But hotel can’t help this. Maybe pick larger room if need be. I was on my own so was fine.
