Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely time at this hotel with its nice decor and amazing views. The food was also quite good, but the service fell short of expectations, especially regarding our transfer arrangements. Additionally, it was a bit noisier than I anticipated due to its location near the road and some parties.
Riboville offers a beautiful and cozy atmosphere, making it a perfect city escape for special occasions or a restful getaway. The spacious and comfortable rooms come with great views, and the staff is exceptional, going above and beyond to cater to guests. However, there are some concerns with noise levels from the dining area and cleanliness issues that detracted from the overall experience.
My stay at this hotel started great with a warm welcome, but it quickly went downhill. While some areas were impressive, like the spacious rooms and the overall decor, many issues cropped up, including cleanliness and noise disturbances. The dining experience was decent, but far from excellent. I'd say this place has potential, but it needs some serious attention to get back to a higher standard.
My experience at Riboville was mixed. The hotel has beautiful rooms with great views, and I loved how welcoming the staff were. However, the noise from a party in the outdoor area kept me from getting a good night's sleep, which was disappointing. The dining experience was quite nice, but there were moments where the service could have been quicker. Overall, it's a charming place, but definitely check if events are happening during your stay.
