    Hotel is getting outdated, bathrooms small and probably 30 years old looking at the style. Could imagine hotel would be noisy when fully booked in high season, but very quiet with just a few guests at the end of season. Pool was great but needs some work done to keep it up to standard.

    Wonderfull setting with a magnificent seaview. Good breakfast as well as dinner, setting on the terrace is magnificent, large pool which was great to swim. A jewel in Castellabate.

    there was a slight miscommunication when I was checking out with regards to an extra charge although we took a non sea view room to gain an extra bed for a child, for the 4 nights we were charged €200 extra and this was not communicated clearly to us when we were offered the room. the lady that showed us to the new room told me there was no extra charge at all so that was slightly disappointing, apart from that our stay was perfect.

    the property is situated on a hill above the town. it is a fair walk uphill so we used the complimentary shuttle bus to bring us back up the hill during the day, we had to get taxis at night as the shuttle finishes at 7pm. the staff are extremely friendly especially the waiter at breakfast, a tall man with glasses. he couldn’t do enough for us, he was so attentive and kind.

    Good hotel but too far from centre

    The hotel is situated on a height, halfway up the side of a mountain, a good distance away from the centre. One really needs a car as the hill is so steep up to it. We had dinner there one night and the food was very disappointing. There was a fault in the air conditioning in our room and water leaked down the wall. When we reported it to reception it was fixed the next day.

    Good size room but no views. A good powerful shower. The dining room and garden were really nice, with great views down to the sea. The waiter in the dining room was very nice, friendly and looked after us very well.

    Very nice hotel with friendly staff and outstanding views

    Although the location is perfect for the views, it is a little above the town & therefore walking to the beach (or more importantly back from it) would not be easy for some. I believe they offer a shuttle bus service during the day though and there are likely taxis available. One tiny bit of feedback for the hotel is there was a charge for 'pool service' on the bill. Only 3 euros but this wasn't explained at check in and I wasn't sure what it was, I can only assume it was for towels. Not unreasonable so I didn't query it, it just would have been good service to let us know in advance.

    This is a very nice hotel. It looks recently built or refurbished, everything is very clean and fresh. The pool is lovely with comfy loungers and umbrellas. The staff were all very friendly. Not sure if it is family run, but it seemed to be a small number of staff who were all very attentive and helpful. The hotel's best feature is its amazing views, from our room and the terrace it is the perfect place to enjoy some peaceful moments looking out to sea and to watch the sunset. We actually drove further up the hill to watch the sunset and there are some good spots to do so, but the terrace would be just as good if you don't have a car. We only stayed one night but had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were very good.

    Best place to be! The Hotel Garden Riviera is one if the best Hotels i‘ve ever been! Everithing is actually perfect! The Hotel itself with the Garden and the pool is awesome! The Rooms are modern and classical at the same time and absolutely clean! The view from the beachside rooms is absolutely breathtaking, best sunset ever! The Staff is amazing, they help you with whatever you need and they are always friendly! The restaurant has delicious food and also there the staff and the view is amazing! It‘s only 10 min by feet to the historical Center of Castellabate and the Beach. There is also a hotel shuttle if you don‘t want to walk. Dear Garden Riviera Team Thank you for everything!! We will definitely be back as soon as possible! Best regards David & Hanna

    Pool Area is opening only at 10:00 in the morning - we missed that because we arrived late and needed to continue our road trip in the next morning.

    Very nice location overlooking the Castellabate town (ca 1km below) and sea shore. Was very nice waking up in the morning, stepping to the balcony and seeing the pine trees and the blue sea below. Very friendly staff at breakfast. Hotel seems to be freshly renovated and is well maintained.

    An expensive bed and breakfast

    The full summer season runs from June through August. Our visit was in Mid May. The pool and gardens had not been tended over the winter. The pool was empty and surroundings were litter strewn. Consequently the potential for outside relaxation was lost. The kitchen was not open so , other than breakfast there was no opportunity to snack. There was no kitchen service. No bar service in the evening. Breakfast was bountiful but lacked variety and finesse. Lack of service and facilities meant that we were enjoying bed and breakfast at hotel rates.

    Beautiful setting overlooking the sea and the picturesque village of S. Castellabate. Superb tiled interiors. Pleasant and hard working skeleton staff. Rooms were nicely appointed and cleaned daily.

    Breakfast was good for people who loves sweets and pastries ( Italian style) . They offered us “American breakfast” ( eggs, beicon etc ) however was only available after 9am. Food and service was very good. Important to know that this hotel does not have private beach “ lido” . They do recommend a private beach very near by and they offered a shuttle to the beach complimentary, however you have pay €25 extra for one umbrella and 2 beach chairs. The service and food at the Lido was very nice.
