Room basic but clean. Mattress awful, could feel every spring and hard edging around it. The staff were friendly but we couldn't help notice that the barman had a dirty tshirt on and wore it the next day too! Good atmosphere in the bar though..

The Riverside is very close to Offa's Dyke path so was in a perfect location for our stopover. It is a basic hotel, however the room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The room had tea/coffee facilities, a TV, and a hot and powerful shower. The staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast of cereal, fruit juice, full English with tea/coffee really set us up for the full day of walking ahead.

We stayed four nights. It's doubtful if our room was cleaned at all during that period.|Also our room certainly needs up-dating.|Beds and chair uncomfortable.|The hotel's location is convenient for the town. Free parking|Good breakfast though somewhat difficult to communicate our exact requirements to the kitchen.

Very good value room with a good breakfast, in the perfect location. Only small problem was road noise at the front of the building as it lacks double glazing. Nice friendly staff. Lovely town too.

Im surprised at the amount of poor reviews this place has. Yes the rooms do need an update , but they were clean, staff very friendly and the breakfast was good. The price of the room with breakfast was very cheap (I've paid nearly that to park in London for a day).

This place is a little gem, the staff here are really lovely and friendly and attentive. This is a budget hotel but do not let that put you off, they have got it bang on here and we’ll be going again. Very clean, delicious breakfast and buzzing pub. 5*

Perfect. 💯. . Don't expect Swan shaped towels on the bed, or Gucci slippers on arrival.But on arrival, it was perfect for parking at the rear, With an electric charge point at the side, if needed. Was greeted by Matthew, lovely bloke. The room was spotless, lovely shower with supplies , A great selection of drinks at the bar, but no evening meals. The town is 2 minutes away. Everything is available from Italian , Indian, Chinese, Spoons. .etcBreakfast is available. All branded cereal's. Great coffee, fruits, yoghurt etc. Full English. . I definitely recommend it. See you soon.
