It was ok
Pros:

Stayed here for two nights recently. It’s a nice enough hotel with friendly and helpful staff, but I was a little dismayed to see a scrunched up used towel outside my bedroom door and the bin in the toilet was full upon check in. Housekeeping needs to be better. Great location though, about 5 mins walk into town.

Very enjoyable. Used as a base for the town. Swimming pool and sauna facilities very good.
Pros:

Location to the town. Very quiet though bedroom doors are very noisy when they’re being closed.

Cons:

Room and bathroom needed a good lick of paint. Bathroom was a bit grubby.

Lovely hotel, staff were friendly from start to finish
Pros:

Hotel room was lovely. Our room was Right over the river. The room was large and clean. The bed was lovely and comfy. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The free soap, shampoo and body wash were a bonus, they smelled fantastic.

Cons:

There was a little bit of mould on the bathroom walls and around the bath, but a little bit is to be expected.

Perfect ❤️
Pros:

Stayed at the beautiful hotel as part of a group of 12 for a family celebration.
Rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable. Food was delicious but the best thing about this hotel is the staff. Every member of the team is polite and friendly, they all seem so happy to please their guests.
Well done Riverside and Thank you
