We arrived at the property earlier than expected … Arthur who was at the front was very welcoming .. informed us there was Ripples cafe just off of the bar and we could make ourselves comfortable until our room were ready. The cafe was clean, comfy and had great food and service.. when we checked in Erin was at the guest service desk and she was lovely too hotel room rooms are spacious, cozy and a great view of the river … very clean .. Arthur, Erin and Sean were absolutely amazing … my brother and I had a wonderful time … and will definitely be back

Quite visible layers of dust on the wall by the bed . Three flying ants or some other kind of insect in our room. Beds were decent and cafe was good for breakfast . It was a very average hotel in a good location but with a heftier than average price tag. Best shower pressure we’ve had so far in almost 10 days in Ireland !

The shower set up is strange as the water spills out everywhere. You can tell this is an ongoing issue from the deterioration of the wall and trim outside the bathroom. For one night, it’s fine and luckily we had a fan so we were able to drown out some of the noise since it was warm and we had to have the window open.

The staff are super helpful and kind, especially Arthur at the reception desk who answered all my questions with great wit and charm. Breakfast was mostly very good, and the hotel is very accessible and clean.

Very nice hotel right beside the river with well proportioned bedrooms and bathrooms. Ate at the restaurant which was very good. Also, tried several restaurants in town which were recommended by the front desk staff. All were excellent...Miss Suzy's, Hooked, etc. Easily able to walk to the town center as well as North on the river to enjoy a park nature walk along the river. Where this place truly shines is with their staff. They are very friendly and add the comfort and homeliness to the stay.

Stayed 3 nights at the Riverside Hotel in Sligo. June 2025. We really enjoyed our stay. We asked for a room with a view. Got it. We took several day trips, and returned every night to the bar at the Riverside. Great service from some very friendly kids. Great food! Kudos to the chef! Breakfast buffet also was very good. Parking is the only drawback. We parked at the church for only 2 euro overnight, a more than fair price. A mild inconvenience. we recommend this hotel! William & Susan

El hotel está bien ubicado, nada más. El desayuno fue desastroso, las viandas vacías y solo dos personas para atender a muchas. La habitación que nos dieron era minúscula. El precio fue muy caro para lo que recibimos, el hotel es viaje y mal cuidado. Lo peor: te cobran la totalidad de la estancia 3 días antes!!!!!! Entiendo que si uno no se presenta cobren una noche pero la totalidad con tanta anticipación se me hace muy violento. Ah! Tiene solo 7 lugares de estacionamiento. Si alguien va a Sligo no se queden en el Riverside Hotel.
