The Riviera Hotel Taipei

The room size is large consider Taipei's standard.

The room was a bit dated, especially the bathroom.

convenient location. room is very comfortable.

This is a gem of a hotel. Everything is thoughtfully provided that you would require, the facilities are well kept, and the location is convenient. The best thing though, is the staff. They were all professional and friendly. A real find.

The location is convenient to public transport and convenience stores, it’s just a tad longer to walk to the stations than I would have liked, since we had a big group ranging from 2 years to 77 years.

Breakfast

The view that was promised when we booked was City View… but to our surprise, its the back of buildings and alley, roof. The bathtub is defective, it overflows when you use it- because the drainage is not functioning

The staff was exceptional and well organized, the location is centrally located between MRT & bus stations, rooms are large and quiet, the breakfast is excellent. I will stay here again.

Everything.

It's comfortable and close to the expo dome and night market. Easy accessibility to the transit. High recommended.

The Toilet seats are a bit filthy with pee stains from the previous users. The others are very clean. Just the toilet seats. Perhaps another check will suffice.

The architecture and interior design of the hotel is lovely, with a spacious feel to the lobby and public areas of each floor. Our room on the 7th floor had a lovely view. The breakfast buffet menu was varied and delicious. The food I ordered through room service was very good. During my visit I came down with a virus and the hotel sent up complimentary fruits. all in all, my husband and I felt well cared for by the staff

the sound insulation between rooms isn't perfect, but didnt interfere with our enjoyment of our room

Super friendly, great breakfast, nice room, nice location,

Staff spoke good english, was very helpful, breakfast was very good! They even offered to not charge the raspberry mousse when i asked for a candle as it had been my daughter s birthday.

Very cozy hotel. I'm glad I stopped there on my first visit to Taipei. Very caring staff. Everything you need is nearby. Two metro stations are a 10-minute walk away, which was convenient for a walk.

Decent value and good breakfast

Attitude of staff. Cleanliness wasn't great. Location is not around any touristic places.

The location is great, close to MRT and the Maji Square. The Hotel is charming in an historic and smaller building and well kept, everything is very clean and the room service is very good. Due to the bakery they run as part of the hotel they have very good bakery products on offer for breakfast, really nice croissants, baguettes and breads. We thought the Hotel is value for money.

We could not change the temperature of the air condition. It was set to 21 degree. Since we visited in winter time we would have liked the temperature a bit higher. It was ok during the night, but during daytime it felt chilly and one needed to put on a jacket in the room. It was also not possible to switch it off, since that would have made the air in the room very stuffy and it is not possible to open a window. The double bed was comfortable but it could have been a little bit bigger.

Lush feeling, big rooms, comfy bed, big bathrooms.

Breakfast could be better, location was a bit far from all the places we visited.

Spacious rooms, well cleaned and maintained, really charming vibe. It was a comfortable stay. Staff were great, and there was a free shuttle to the Taipei Main Ststion MRT airport line.

From the moment we arrived, the doors were opened by two wonderful porters. When we checked in, we were warmly greeted by Claire and David (?) and shown our room. The Breakfast Manager was the most generous host, remembered our room number each morning and ticked us off without needing to ask us. We were always placed in the best seat in the restaurant. The Chefs provided a sumptuous breakfast and the breakfast staff were continually refilling and finessing the presentation of the food. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Claire and her Manager even helped us with organising our day trip to Jifen Old Town, mapping out the trains and directions. We had a wonderful day and were greeted with ... "how was your day ... what was the highlight?" The Typhoon warning made us a bit nervous, but the staff checked with the authorities regularly and kept us informed and provided alternative activities/restaurants during the enforced emergency holiday.

Couldn't fault anything.

location, breakfast and staff

Retro style hotel that is well maintained and full of character. Friendly and professional staff, chilled atmosphere, very comfortable clean room.

Very clean and spacious rooms Good facilities and amenities. Very good breakfast.

The location is just ok. Not so interesting places nearby.

Good location, super clean, friendly staff.

For a hotel that likes to push it's ECO friendliness, I found it odd that no drinking water filter stations were available. The hotel is however happy to hand out unlimited 600 ml plastic bottles of water.

A very charming old hotel.Loved the atrium between all the floors which made the layout much nicer and less claustrophobic than the endless corridors in new hotels. Some lounge areas on the floors (especially the main one on the 7th) were similarly charming. Our group was in multiple rooms and we were able to socialize in these areas rather than just sitting in another person's room. And that was a really nice accommodation to have!

It was hard to figure out when would the omelette chef appear at the breakfast. Fortunately we were able to try the omelettes on our last breakfast.I might have felt more critical about the facilities if I hadn't already read the complaints about the hotel being outdated and worn out - that made me prepared for a worse experience but it turned out great, everything was clean and functioning and I was honestly really enjoying the charm of the place.
