Riverside Hotel

Excellent hotel in this price range. Stayed in the older part (not the tower) in a room with 2 queen beds. Room had clearly been refurbished in recent years. Good size, comfortable beds, large desk and plenty full storage. Even had a little room instead of a wardrobe for hanging clothes and storing suitcases. Fridge was a decent size for a hotel and was quite running. Coffee machine and amenities seemed good quality, though I didn’t make use of them being a tea drinker (bring a travel kettle of tea is your thing!) The AC worked very well. Didn’t need to have it on much as the room stayed relatively cool despite the hot July temperatures outside. The shower had good pressure. Our room had the shower over a bath, but I’m sure other options are available if this doesn’t suit you. Nice bright white fluffy towels. The lobby is lovely. Spacious and cool with lots of comfortable seating. Staff were excellent. Very professional, friendly and responsive to requests. Speaking with some other guests, it seems this hotel has a loyal customer base who use this hotel when in town. Location is fantastic. Plenty of restaurants and boutique shops on Las Olas. Short drive to the beach, marina and harbour where cruises leave from. I had a hire car and pre-arranged to use the parking structure adjoining the hotel. Park kerbside and check in. Staff will give you a parking permit to display and instructions on which floor to park at. There’s an elevator from each parking level down to the hotel lobby. Parking was $26 per day for self-park (there is a more expensive full valet option. I was happy to pay this as used to London prices. Had calculated cost of parking when searching for hotel and this still came out better value than many other options that boasted free parking.

Hotel's location was superb. It was right at the center of restaurants and shopping. The beach was a few minutes drive. Hotel had ample parking spaces. The room I stayed on was spacious enough. I loved the huge closet with a door where I can hang my clothes. Staff was helpful when you need anything.

Excellent location and a great room with a very comfortable bed. The food at the Boathouse Restaurant was also very good and was great value.

The bed was really comfortable. The room was well equipped and spacious enough even though it was labelled a micro room.Staff were very friendly. Pool was lovely with a great view of the river.

Room was beautiful and free breakfast in room every day. Also liked the French mineral water service with 2 bottles delivered every day to the fridge. Fresh ground coffee to make in your room was delivered every day. Maid service was excellent and not imposing. Nice staff. Lastly, the rooftop bar and restaurant were excellent and they made great cocktails. This is a very welcoming and well run hotel. Excellent downtown location near King St and retail shopping.
