Hotel Rivè - Complesso Turistico Campo Smith

Bardonecchia

This hotel lists itself as a 4 star but in reality it is more a 3 star hotel with basic amenities. It is very dated and run down in parts. The breakfast is poor and many items run out and are not replenished. The hotels location is excellent and just a short walk to the ski lifts.

Ok hotel just for it's location

Ski holiday booked with 3 others for the second week of March.  Digs for the week is the proudly claimed 4 star Hotel Rive situated at the foot of the snow-covered slopes in Bardonecchia, Italy.

First impressions, nice building but dig deeper, and you'll find that it was built in 2010, but it looks as though the inside has taken a trip back to the late 70s, early 80s. 

Key entry to your room when swiped across a panel, which then buzzes the door lock to open..very old school.

Having selected half board, breakfast has a good selection but bring in a coffee machine engineer instead of trying to fix it yourself - the dining area could do with another 2 coffee machines placed away from the self service food area; and finally had a proper brew at breakfast on our final day.  Evening meal is good; some reviews have slated the menu, but you do have the choice of a light buffet before receiving a pre-ordered menu that you select the previous evening. The dining area is good but could do with more lighting in some areas as it seems to be a little 'dark'.

Staff are attentive and appreciate you trying the local tongue when asking for beverages or drinks, but speak good English if you don't know Italian. 

The rooms look spacious; there were 2 of us sharing a room, but had enough beds to sleep 4 if needed.  The bathroom is ok, but sloppy attention to detail and black mould visible within the shower cubicle is a little off-putting.  And a note to parents, not those of British origin - there are signs within the corridors that ask guests to be mindful and quiet when transiting through the corridors, some people have had a tiring day on the slopes, and may wish to get an early night - hearing kids running up and down the corridors and shouting in Italian at each other at 2330 is a little bit out of order. 

The hotel offers easy access to Campo Smith 4 ski lift which will take you on your first leg up to the snow covered plateau, from there you can decide your day as to where you ski / snowboard next. 

In and around the hotel are the various ski and snowboarding schools, together with various shops that will quite easily make you part with your well earned Euros if you are wanting to take something back to your country of origin; seeing as I'd wiped out numerous times on my backside, I decided to pick up a pair of crash pants - didn't expect to pay €60 but they did the job.

If you are looking for availability and access to the slopes, Rive will provide that, but it is in no shape or form hitting the 4 star mark.

Defo not a 4 ⭐️

Hotel itself is warm and welcoming.
Building is a bit functional but ticks all the boxes.
Location right at the nursery and main lift up to ski area.
Rooms are spacious and warm, cleaned daily and plenty of hot water - bath too!
Spa area is good, small pool, 2 sauna, steam room and an infra red room. Free Mon-Thurs. Samll gym area too at a charge.
Bar area was small, but good to share war stories from the slopes.
Hotel is handy for 2 main apres bars, but a 1000m walk into the small town of Bardo. A few more bars and restaurants there.  Enough bars to have a fair few drinks in - but  Bardo is not a party town. The Alpine Coaster is a laugh- just opposite at €6 per ride! 

Ski hire shop in same building as hotel.
The food is amazing. Absolutely superb dinners with local cuisine that is simply fantastic.
You have an extensive salad bar, a first and second course that you choose the day before followed by a dessert buffet.
Cant fault the restaurant, the kitchen, or the waiting staff - superb.
All in all, the place exceeded my expectations and I would return.
Bardo is a good resort, smaller than its neighbours in Sauze and Sestriere, but more family friendly.

Super hotel in a great resort

This hotel is ideally situated for skiing, being directly at the base of the main lift from Campo Smith, accessing the upper slopes. The hotel also has a good selection of bars, cafes and ski hire/equipment shops within the complex. It also had access to a pool, gym and sauna in an adjacent facility, unfortunately though this was only available between 4-8pm Mon-Thu.
The rooms are a decent size, we were fortunate to have a room with a balcony overlooking the Smith chairlift and Alpine Coaster.
Cost wise, it was good value, though I did book last minute as part of a package and received a good discount.
The hotel and room were always kept clean and in good order, the staff left us feeling well looked after.
Noise was minimal after 8pm, indeed the only day the Apres-Ski got a bit rowdy was the Saturday at Bar Harald, but it sounded like a good night and was something I would have joined 20 years ago!
