This hotel is well situated on the main road going through Helensburgh. There are a number of pubs and restaurants within walking distance, and the hotel also has a restaurant. Parking is free, in the large leisure centre car park across the road. The only negative for me was the hotel does not offer a cooked breakfast, which is surprising as it has a restaurant built into it. The continental breakfast appeared to be your average hotel continental breakfast. Staff were friendly.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. The double room we stayed in is quite small with very limited storage. The bed was a bit lumpy in parts. The continental breakfast was great. Would stay again but in a different room.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Nice hotel in a convenient location to visit Helensburgh. Tasty continental breakfast served though there was only white bread. Lots of creaking flooring meant regularly woken up. Had a coffee machine but no instructions. I had to clamber under a table to plug it in. The mattress was very soft, too soft for me but that's personal choice. The reception was rarely manned.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riva. It is an older property that has been updated and was a perfect spot to relax in between our outings in the area. The train station is so close and we enjoyed walking the area safely
