Riverside Hotel

Great balance of value and comfort

What we say:

The Riverside has been around for a few years now and doesn't look as fresh as it once did, but it remains a fine choice for a genuinely comfortable room on a budget. All rooms are well furnished and have air-con, mini-fridge, big TVs with a full range of satellite channels, and private bathrooms with hot water. We're not crazy about the lime green colour palette, but rooms are very clean and made-up daily. For an extra few dollars you can treat yourself to one of their VIP Rooms with a king-size bed and large corner bathtub. Also, they've installed an elevator so rooms on the 4th and 5th floors are no longer such a trek. Free WiFi is available in the lobby and they accept credit cards.

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Based on 5 ratings and 5 reviews

Cute!

The rooms are big, serviced daily and spotlessly clean. There was an attempt at a proper western shower, shower curtain and all, and a lift, which took this place to a whole new level! Also, cable TV, bar fridge, and free water were nice touches. It's a nice side of town to stay on too, as very close to good restaurants and nightlife, and plenty of other places to stay around if this place is full.

Simple, clean and good value

We ended up here after trying all over town, and were pleased with it. Pretty characterless, but clean, fairly modern, in a very good location, and helpful staff. Recommended if you're staying for a few nights.

Heavens above!

Backpacker nirvana is now much easier to attain as a lift/elevator has been installed. Nice bathrooms, good hotel service. Well worth the $. I got the last vacant room yesterday so the word is obviously out.

Nice,spacious and clean rooms

We stayed here in February 2007 and had the VIP room with Kingsize bed. The room was big bright and very clean. The TV had a lot of English channels which was nice since we have been in Asia since October...always nice to get some news. The staff were friendly and helpful.
