Hotel Riva del Sole

The location of the hotel was really nice. We got a room with literal ocean view and a staircase that led to the beach. The pool area was pretty cool and there was a lot of plants around. If you go anywhere you can go with the bus number 2, which takes you basically anywhere and there is a bus stop 50 meters away from the hotel entrance. The staff was helpful.

We had a nice balcony but the room itself wasn’t that nice alongside the bathroom. It was ok. We haven’t had much options when it came to the breakfast. It was ok but I did not like that at all. The wi-fi was barely working. Sometimes it just worked at the reception, most of the time it wasn’t working at our balcony and it wasn’t ANY wi-fi at the room. I think that was the worst part because we couldn’t plan our days etc.

Property was spotless. Rooms were super clean and cleaned daily.

Such a great place to stay. Loved the stunning views from 'water view' rooms, direct stair access to a small beach shared with neighbouring establishments, thermal bath, pool area & sun loungers, breakfast & half board option and just the general feel of the place. Non pretentious and authentic. Perfect location - walk down to restaurants and other amenities.

Large pool area

Too many rules. Didnt like garden bedroom, very dark

A very cozy hotel. It is very conveniently located in relation to the gardens of Poseidon. Friendly staff. Good breakfasts and dinners. Great sea view

This took me back in time to a quaint oldie worldie type of hotel.The facilities were great with a plunge pool, indoor relaxation pool, hot tub and steps down to a small beach.Staff were helpful and it was a 10 minute walk to the famous Poseidon hot springs spa.They offered an inexpensive evening meal with a small choice between set dishes, but a large number of local restaurants nearby should you require a greater choice.

Breakfast was mediocre with the usual sliced cake, sliced meats and cheeses. A selection of fruit and yoghurt.Juices were not fresh, they were concentrate from a machine, which wasn't great.There is a nice terrace outside the breakfast room, where you could finish off by taking your coffee, but they would not allow any food to pass the door (Guarded). So, no coffee and cake on the terrace.Around the resort, there were so many A4 paper signs dotted around the walls, all with various rules to adhere to.I felt like I was back at school.Lastly, beware if the weather is warm, there is a 5 Euro per person per night charge to use the Air Conditioning in the room, you hire the controller from reception!If you want a mini fridge, it's 5 euros per room per night.

Straight on the beach and one of the best locations on the island

It’s a very basic and simple property. Extremely clean and with everything extra available upon request. The staff is extremely friendly and professional

The location was incredible. The pool and private beach were unmatched and with shops and restaurants on your doorstep or a 20 min walk into Forio, there was plenty around.

The room we stayed in was in between the cleaners cupboard and the kitchen so it was very noisy and we were woken up on several occasions. There were lots of extra charges that we weren’t aware of, eg you had to pay extra for a fridge or air con.

This small, cozy hotel was fantastic, thanks to the kind and helpful approach of the staff we had an excellent time. The seaview is totaly exclusive. The price-quality ratio is really good. Loved it. Highly recommended ??

Amazing place for quiet vacation. Hotel is clean, territory very colour, rooms are clean and receptions were very nice and welcoming especially Valentina (I hope it’s right person because I’m bad at remembering names). Small beach just above hotel was great addition to everything. Great choice of hotel and great price. Also great views for sunsets. Thank you!

Breakfast buffet could have more options of cheese and vegetables and better coffee machine, maybe also juice instead of soda with juice taste. But can’t say it’s a big minus because you can simply eat in near cafe and not obligated to pay for breakfast.

The hotel is beautiful and very well maintained.The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. The bus stop is right in front of the property.

Nothing.Some music at the restaurant for dinner would be nice.

Location was simply the best.

Quite noisy early in the morning. We could hear everything what was going in the dining room.

The ocean view room was very beautiful. The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. The food selection during the breakfast was enough and the food was always fresh. Would certainly recommend!

Perfect stay at the Island of Ischia.A delightful rather smaller hotel, charming as a bit "out of time". Extremely friendly staff - reception, restaurant, cleaning service!!!! Room decor a bit older but everything super clean. Had room 510 with a small terrace right by the sea - a dream.Small beach, beautiful pool, all very well maintained.In any case, half board is recommended - excellent cuisine, very varied, fresh and down to earth - wonderful! Great praise to the chef!!!Perfect location, very quiet, bus stops right in front of the hotel, Giardini Terme Poseidon 10 min walking distance, to Forio nice 20 mins walk along the promenade. A car is not necessary as the public buses run regularly.THX for a very relaxing week at Riva del Sole - will be back for sure.

some hard mattresses, but when I reported it at the reception it was promptly replaced THX for that :) Possibly the time of dinner could be extended by half an hour.

perfect location with well maintained gardens, lovely pool’s and great access to beach

pool bar was closed and the bed was very uncomfortable

Hotel is nice example of a classic hotel (not modern) and the staff are lovely and very helpful. The location to get into town was about a 20-25 min walk.

Charged additional for using the air conditioning and this wasn’t stated prior to booking, only when we arrived.

Location is good- there is their own access to the sea.. and good pools.. small but nice territory of the hotel.. the biggest thermal park Poseidon is 5 minutes walk.. and bus stop is just in front of the gates..

Excellent hospitality and excellent location! We really love this place. It exceeded our expectations. Room was big, fresh enough, all was in excellent conditions, we don't have any complaints about the room. We are always critical about mattress and pillows, but this time there wasn't any problems to get good rest at night. Location is really fabulous - it was best place on Citara beach for us: not crowded and easy access, available all the day (till 21:00). We purchase additionally air conditioner and the fridge, but price was still very reasonable! We have used pool, thermal pool with hydromassage and jacuzzi. We found it really great place to stay on Ischia.

No complaints, excellent service. Just notice that it is common to get rest on the middle of the day, from 2-4pm :) But it's not about hotel service, it available all day long.

The hotel is in an excellent location - right on the water and very quiet. It is very easy to get to from Ischia Porto. The number 2 bus stops right outside. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Everything was spotlessly clean.

The furnishings are rather dated, but the view from the balcony more than makes up for this.

great sea view and personal very helpful

the rooms are not super fresh but nothing bad
