Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Overall hotel was clean but needs updating, bit of TLC. Room was clean, had to ask for bin to be emptied but wasn't done, bit short staffed but the ones that were on duty were good and helpful, we had to pay for breakfast, which was not a problem considering the cost of the accommodation, really good choice of breakfast and well
priced, parking was a bit hit and miss, disc parking which was fine providing there was a space available.
Overall a good stay I don't expect a 5* hotel at 2* prices.
in the middle of renovation i think as scaffolding outside but no work started early which is good. very quiet area ten minutes walk from town centre and 25 from beach so ideal location. stayed before and qill again great price also

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were satisfactory. Local staff who were helpful.
Perfect location and a good rate.
The building is old. Access for disabled is poor, which they acknowledge. They are working on improving this. In the meantime, book elsewhere if you have mobility issues.
Public areas are very dated, but clean. Available food although freshly prepared and competitively priced was not inspiring - eat elsewhere for your holiday treats.
Room was clean, but nothing special.
Overall a typical coastal hotel, dated and worn and in need of a makeover.
Would I stay again? Yes, but with reservations - eat elsewhere.
Nice comfy and clean room with tv and drink making facilities. Enjoyed our stay.

Cheap and cheerful
Nice hotel but in need of t l v lovely thick bath towels and the breakfast is fabulous all in all for that I paid for the hotel I can't complain about the hotel I would come back but to be honest it's only because of the price and lastly the house keeper could visit more often
Every thing was fine, staff were friendly and helpful rooms are clean, bed comfy but parking can be a problem.

Don't pass this by
Typical seaside old style hotel, don't let first impressions put you off.
Really nice and friendly receptionist, hotel bar/restaurant areat and a quiet room absolutely lovely.
The rooms are cosy, if you are looking for big rooms, look somewhere else.
Bed was comfortable, room was clean and tidy.
Stayed for the purpose of a motor scooter rally.
Food was good and staff were friendly.
Some improvements were being carried out but we remained unaffected.
Room was more than adequate for it's purpose. Not a particularly expensive stay and you get what you pay for.
For a 3 star hotel I find Rivelyn excellent. It is always clean, the staff are helpful and friendly and beds are comfortable and the breakfast well cooked. It is located within a 2 minute walk to beautiful sea views from the Esplanade, a 5 minute walk of local shops and a 10 minute or less walk to the town centre, restaurants, cafes and the theatre, and also the beach.
