Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Riverside Hotel enjoys a great location near the train station, making it convenient for travel, and many appreciate the views of the river and boats. Guests found the rooms clean and several mentioned the comfort of the beds, with some rooms featuring fans, which is a plus. While generally well-received, a few guests have noted that some rooms can feel a bit small or have steep stairs. Overall, the proximity to the city centre, Castle, museum and Cathedral makes it a reasonable choice.

The automated check-in was convenient. I received an extra fan at no cost, it was a nice touch. The location is PRIME. It allowed me to walk to many places. The staff quickly addressed a minor issue I had.

The room size was good and I found the bed quite comfy. The location is very close to the railway station. I had easy access to transportation.
One window did not shut properly and this let in street noise. The noise was significant since it faces a busy main road. were loud at all hours. I could hear shouting and banging doors.
