Idyllic and relaxing
The hotel is minutes walking distance from the train station and the view down is idyllic itself looking towards the water. The check in was easy and the staff were very friendly and helpful asked us if we would like to book our meal in the restaurant and although we were also told when breakfast was, I liked that everything you’d need to know was also on the key ring to your room. The room was spacious, the view was amazing from either windows and the shower was exceptional. The bed was so comfy and the coffee machine is a nice touch. I also love that the shampoo, conditioner and soaps are all scottish made and all natural. The extras of the dental kit (toothbrush and toothpaste) and shaving kit(shaving gel and razor) was a nice suprise. The breakfast was excellent, there was a lot of great choices available and the fruit tasted fresh. The bar area is also a nice place to have drinks or something to eat as it’s relaxing and full of character and charm.

Fantastic boutique hotel. Located on the the front in Helensburgh. Nice bar and restaurant, very nice room and ensuite. Staff were very helpful and the one evening meal we had was really good. The staff were very accommodating with out son from the base coming down to share breakfast with us. We will definitely be staying again.

Lovely modern hotel
Lovely hotel; the decor was fabulous. Comfortable room with water, chocolates and coffee, tea and biscuits. Good shower but not so keen on a glass door to the en-suite! Staff very friendly and helpful.

Average
Very average hotel. We paid £100 for our room which was nice but a little tired. Probably worth no more than £70. The bathroom is a bit weird as it’s a glass partition. The shower area had a musty smell with black mold all around the silicone areas. The food bill for 2 mains and 2 desserts and 2 drinks came to £76 pounds . Pizza was lovely but sadly the bolognaise was poor. The mince was all clumped together in large lumps and it really lacked in any flavour. My tiramisu looked amazing but unfortunately lacking in flavour with the texture of an old piece of gum that had been chewed for too long. Went down for breakfast in the morning to be told no cooked breakfast but they might do it in the future. The continental breakfast consisted of a couple of different cereal, toast, tinned fruit cocktail, jam and tea and coffee. No cheese, ham or Croissants that normally come with continental breakfast. It’s a nice location and if you do decide to stay here I’d recommend eating out. The staff were pleasant enough.

Practically Perfect 👌
Excellent from start to end. Greeted warmly at check in and our dog Nova was also warmly welcomed. We were in room 1 and it is stunning. We loved the retro vibes and the sea view. My husband especially loved the working record player. Bathroom was beautiful and smelled divine thanks to the lovely toiletries. Love that they have used Scottish brands! Also had wee extras like a shaving kit and debtal kit. The power from the shower was fantastic. We had dinner here too and it was fab. The staff were super friendly and efficent. Food was lovely and well presented, I loved the plates. My salmon was slighly over done but it was still delicious and I beleive it was locally caught. Hubby said the steak pie was amazing, he also loved the mango and apple crumble. The bed, my goodness I wanted to take it home it was so comfortable! Breakfast is continental which I know isn't everyones cup of tea but was ideal for me. Bread, smoked cheese, tomatoes, fruit, yogurts, smoothies, pastries, juices, meat, soft cheese, cereals, tea and coffee. Ideal! All in all we had a lovely night and I'm only annoyed that I couldnt stay longer.

Co-op reduced aisle breakfast!
Small rooms but worked fine for me as I was on my own and just staying one night. Would be worth upgrading if you’re a couple or staying longer. The en-suite is nice and has conditioner which is always a win! Tea, coffee and biscuits in the room as well as a record player. Breakfast wasn’t really worth getting up for, very basic continental- the fruit salad had gone off and smelt of vinegar and the pastries, cheeses and meats weren’t the best quality- kind of felt like they raided the co-ops reduced aisle! Overall fine for crashing for the night but not sure I’ll be back.

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

First day in Scotland
The folks who run the Reba boutique are super friendly Breakfast and dinner last night was delicious. Really good location with free parking across the street. Our room didn’t have a view, but we had one double bed and a pullout sofa. Bathroom was really clean. I would recommend this place for a family.

If you stay here ask for room 2, loch views, large room. Hotel is noisy but the beautiful room makes up for the noise. Bin men come at 6am on a Sunday and can hear the people above you all the time. Bathroom door is odd as can see your partner the whole time they are on the toilet. Room is clean and modern and very big.

No hot water to have a shower on both days. Breakfast not that exciting. Room very small for a twin room needed to keep light on all of the time due to not very big window.
