Hotel common areas are nice.
Breakfast is very limited and feels cheap, but breakfast staff are nice. I'd give it a 4 out of 10.
Custmer service is pretty much not existent. I asked for an iron at 8pm and I was told that thet they do not provide such service. I had have an argument which enabled me the priviledge to get them to contact the manager and ask what to do. They eventually did not help and referred me to the wash and ironing room service which could only be provided the day after for a charge, so 0 marks on effort and customer service; nice rooms and hotel stars are useless if you do not accomodate such simple requests. Needless to say that bringing my iron in my trolley was out of discussion. I felt like a lemon to squeeze.
Parking is also very limited. I ended up parking in the free public car park as hotel parking was always busy. So there is not really a private parking space if they have 6 parkings and lot of rooms. This was a crucial attribute in my decision to choose this hotel and I eventually felt a little mislead.
Rooms are nice and clean, but also dated. Stains can be seen everywhere on furniture and shower/toilette.
The view and location are the only selling points of the hotel.
We eneded up having a good 3 days break.
Would I go back to Lu hotel riviera? No, I'd choose a different hotel. Would I reccomend it to others? No, avoid this place as it is pretentious, not cheap and their passive customer service makes is a below average hotel.

Great location to enjoy CF
Good location in city center. Free parking nearby. Best beach is Cala Guidi. Breakfast was slow due to Covid and quality average - this can be improved. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Inviting
Pleasant appearance on waterfront and only minutes from ferry. Free public car park across road. I loved the breakfast room, modern, huge windows onto street made us feel part of the community, and I feel some breakfasted there. Food was lovely.

Nice Hotel close to ferry
Good choice. Modern hotel with lovely roof terrace. Seemed to be in a good location for visiting the island. We were here on St Pietro Day, and were treated to an AMAZING firework display over the harbour, from pole position on the roof top terrace. Unfortunately I was taken ill later that night, but the staff were most helpful in advising us where to find the only doctor on the island, and when I had to leave the island to get to hospital they sorted out a booking for my husband at their sister hotel on the mainland. Would recomend.

Amazing beachfront hotel in Carloforte
A new clean hotel on the beachfront less than 5 minutes away from the ferries.
Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly staff that notified us that our basic room was upgraded to a premium terrace room, the best cathegory in the hotel. It isn't usual in Italy. The room was large and spotless with a very large terrace right on the water. Very nice bed and bathroom too.
There's a rooftop bar that was unfortunately closed due to "cold weather". The next day, however, there was a jazz band playing there. 1 minute away is a very nice bar Gusten that closed at 3am. All the best restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk.
Breakfast was alright. Poor by mainland standards, but decent for Sardinia. In fact, if you haven't been to Sardinia, you should also know that hotels usually don't provide hair conditioners, paper towels and have a checkout at 11am. Nor do they collect city tax.
Overall, we have walked around a lot and I am quite confident that Riviera hotel is by far the nicest on the waterfront.

Lovely hotel in great position
Lovely hotel in a perfect spot overlooking the port and just a few minutes walk from the town centre. I booked a junior suite and it was perfect with a large balcony and sea view. I can't wait to return.

Great location
We have stayed here several times...best bits are the excellent location, comfortable beds, very clean rooms, great rooftop bar and staff always happy to help. Breakfast provided with plenty to eat. The thing that could be a little improved is the air conditioning which, for me, could be colder. But we keep coming back, it’s great.

Just what you need in Carloforte
Excellent central location with very clean rooms, outstanding bathroom - great shower is needed and provided after hours at the beach. Perfect balcony views over the ocean watching the ferries come in looking back towards the mainland. Aircon was also spot on so all in all the hotel is exactly what you need after spending your days and nights exploring Carloforte and the island.

Started bad but ended well!
The hotel is beautiful and its located right on the front of the town which gives you a lovely sea few.
We got to the hotel on Sunday morning instead of Saturday night because our plane was delayed and that caused it to make it impossible to get the last ferry which is at 10.35 pm.
So we spent the night in the car at the ferries car park until 5.30 am Sunday morning.
So it was a bad start to our holiday but the weather, the people of Carloforte and the lovely sea views with good food made it a great holiday to remember.

Perfect hotel for Carloforte
Fantastic hotel, friendly staff and great breakfast. The room was very clean and comfortable. Location is great however only for Carloforte. If you are thinking of a base to explore Sardinia this is not the right choice.
