Riverside Hotel

After reading reviews was worried about staying however the duty manager was lovely even carried my bag to our room Rooms were clean and had tea and coffee facilities everything was done well and would definitely stay again for a budget hotel it’s perfect for a night in the city

Stayed for one night in January after being let down by closed down Central hotel next door. Amazingly they had a triple room available at very short notice. Checked into Riverside B&B although you are taken across the road to another building. Soon as you walk in very strong smell of damp despite recently painted. Room three single beds did the job for three lads. Wouldn’t take my misses here.

We booked a night in the riverside guest house. The room cost us £70 including a parking permit. When entering the room it smelt damp and was overpowering we thought this was just a case of opening the windows, which we did and went out for the night, when we arrived back the smell was stronger. In the room we were advised that if there were any issues with our stay to email them directly to the hotel, which we did, I informed them that we had to sleep with the windows open due to there been no ventilation and an overpowering smell. To which they replied below. Baring in mind the conditions they mention towards the end was that I had mentioned that I had asthma and was pregnant and struggled to sleep in the room as it was. And according to them I should have made them aware of my ‘condition’ and they would have given us an alternative or cancelled. At "Riverside" we have 4 buildings and 9 different types of rooms for the variety of guests with different needs and budget. When we received this booking on the 2 March 2022, I was asking myself: who are these people, making the reservation so far in advance and selecting our cheapest (our worst) room? All the better rooms were available, and at that time the prices were very low, for a few quid you could have Standard or even Superior room... General info: ..."Please make sure the type of bed(s) and size of the room(s) you booked suit your needs. Note, there are Small (Economy), Standard and Superior sizes of the rooms. If Small room is selected, please expect it to be smaller than Standard room, one side of the bed against the wall and no view from the window. When the cheapest room is selected, one should ask: "What kind of people book these rooms and in this area? We didn't receive any information about you or your condition in the section "Important info about the guest" or "Special requests" and knew nothing about your sensitivity (nobody else complained about the smell) If you'd mention your condition on your booking, then we'd advise you to upgrade your room or cancel it altogether. Kind regards, Kasey, manager

The room was spotless, shower hot and wifi was excellent. The room itself was a good size for a solo traveller. Location 5 mins walk to train station and town centre. The stairs up to the room were extremely narrow (this was mentioned but I think they are unsafe). Check-in was awkward, I arrived just after check-in began and was told we weren't expecting you yet (I was 25mins earlier than the time I had said I would arrive). Not the friendliest of check-ins. The hallway smelled of cigarettes too. But it was cheap and ok for 2 nights.
