Riva sweets was a very comfortable place to stay in Mykinos. We absolutely loved having the hot tub with a little view of the sea! The bed was quite comfortable and the property itself was super cute and well lit. There were good restaurants very close by. It was a little stressful to walk into the town where the shops and all the action is, just 10 minutes away but there were no sidewalks, narrow streets and lots of fast cars and motorcycles. There may be a better walking route, but we didn't find it.

Dear Margaret,Thank you so much for taking the time to review us.We are so glad that you have enjoyed your stay with us.There is indeed a better route- pedestrian- , by taking the stairs opposite to our premises to one level down.Warm RegardsDimitris
A great hotel in Mykonos! We got a partial sea view room with a hot tub, and it was so nice to come back to after days of exploring. The rooms are super clean, they refilled water bottles and toiletries every day, and the front desk helped us with advice and way finding. It's a 5min walk to new port and Mykonos town, super convenient.

Very close to the center of Mykonos, just 3/8 mile.
Riva Suites, an excellent property and about two miles from the ferry port. Nice restaurants just next door.
Really enjoyable!

We had a very nice stay at Riva Suites. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a small issue with the safe on the first day (my fault), but someone was there on hand to fix within 2 minutes. The same when we requested an iron and ironing board. Very clean and tidy. Can't fault the location - 10 min walk into Mykonos Town. Highly recommended.

All I have to say is WOW!!! The reception desk was very professional and nice. The rooms are spacious and are very nice. Having the hot tub outside of the room is a total plus!!! Riva Suites is located just a 10 minute walk from Mykonos Town…so convenient! It has views of the sea! I recommend staying at this place!!

Room was in a great location. Walkable to little Venice and Mykonos town which saves a lot of taxi which is way overpriced. Buses are also right downstairs. Room was excellent very clean and beautiful . Service was excellent as friendly as well as they made me and my group very comfortable and enjoyable. Especially with our tons of questions

Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.
We are wondering though, if this review is for our hotel, since we always have excellent feedback about our staff and managment.We have experienced a case in the past, of a guest who had made several reservations during his trip,and accidentaly, placed a review for one property instead for another.
We hope to accomodate you again in the future.

Great place to stay. View from our room was lovely. Only thing is that if you value privacy, the balconies are essentially shared as they are all attached so you will be sat outside with other people less that a metre from you. But this didn’t bother us. Staff were friendly and the location was great!

Got upgraded on arrival to a room with a hot tub. Everything was clean and well maintained.
The shower in our room has a full glass wall and is directly visible from the bed which was fun for us but perhaps not for some especially if you are not a couple.
We tended to see the same front desk person on the evening shift, Argiris, and he is very easy going and helpful.
Had a view from the window of the old port and a view from the side balcony but not if you were in the hot tub.
We arrived by ferry which goes to the new port and recommend going to the Sea Bus booth and buying a two Euro ticket to take you to the old port. Ask the Sea Bus driver to drop you off at the first stop of two at the old port and you just walk up a few steps and you are there. The other stop is 10 minutes away at the end of the pier. Not really an issue if you stay on. If you are going back to the ferry and want to go directly back from the same drop off point buy your tickets in advance because you cannot buy them on board. You will have to wave at the Sea Bus and they will pick you up. The Sea Bus frequency was either every 20 or 30 minutes depending on the day.
Bed is comfortable. Robes and different towels for the hot tub. In room safe. Two large bottles of water put in the fridge every day. Nespresso machine for coffee, no milk but the coffee was the type that has a creamy finish.
Little Venice and all the resident bars are just a short walk away, enjoy getting lost in the narrow streets.

We stayed in the family suite and it was perfect for 5 people! The front desk staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and giving us info about the island. The location of this hotel could not have been more perfect. Right across from the water and only a short walk along the dock to get to Mykonos town. We wished we could’ve spent more days here. The rooms were very clean and staff helped carry all luggage to the door since there is no elevator. The hotel is right across from old port and was only a short boat bus ride over to new port. We loved everything about this hotel.

Beautiful, large room and bathroom. Across the road from the old harbour and a short walk from the main town. Limited self-catering (jug and fridge) but plenty of eating options nearby - restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, cafes. No breakfast included but one could be provided in your room for a cost. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. An enjoyable stay in Mykonos.

Nice Room close to Town
Arrived quite late, upon checking in we were shown a superior room with Jacuzzi. The room lay out was a little strange. There were two doors connection a passageway between our neighbouring suite which was OK if they did not smoke. The room was quirky with 30% taken up with a showering area. This with the passageway made the room incredibly small, with a vast amount of space wasted. Dimitri the day manager was extremely polite and knowledgeable about travelling around Mykonos, But Mykonos is a transit town full of cruise ships. This makes the town extremely busy and expensive. There are extensive restaurants but very few bars. This made our experience in the Town memorable for the wrong reasons.
Riva suites albeit nice, there attention to detail needs some thought.

When You would like to ''escape'' from the Busy-Down town center you are selecting one of the wonderful (more than 34) destination-beaches/resorts and spend all day there, is really pleasant.At night, Mykonos Town is the most picturesque location in Aegean, is really enjoyable and easy walking promenade! Anyway your visit was remarkable and thank you for your attention,your review and your return in low season- period, will be apokalipsis for You!
The man st check in was awesome. Super friendly and helpful. This is a great location in the old port with convenient access to the sea bus. I highly recommend it

The location was very good...easy to get to from the boat and an easy walk to town......was very clean in and out, the shower was nicely remolded, there was a balcony which is where the ocean view exists but I feel we ended up in a room for 1...space was very limited. The price should have been $250 not $400...Either way Mykonos was amazing. There is a great little car rental place next to the mid town taxi stop

The total of your stay was 400 indeed,but for 2 nights,which is normal rate during high season in Mykonos.

Thank you for your review is reminding to listen carefully your opinion!
Great location but overpriced. Bed is horrible and staff isn’t as friendly, available or helpful as other hotels in the area. But great shower and patio view of the harbor was nice. There are better priced hotels in the same area if your just looking to crash, the hotel doesn’t offer enough aminities to camp out like a resort.
