  Perfect spot in Sligo

Clean, modern, and centrally located in Sligo Centre. Arthur behind the desk made check-in flawless and simple. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend for a night or few depending on your travel needs. Also, it was a great value.

  WOW what a hotel!

Great location! Rooms are fab and the beds are so comfy! But the staff are just outstanding - they are so helpful and great at their job - always with a smile on their face - they will do great in their business careers! We had breakfast and evening meals there during our stay - food was fantastic! But we must also single out Erin - an absolute gem to have on your staff!!! This girl is the best receptionist we have come across in a very long time - brilliant business woman with a lovely smile to go with it - a fantastic employee to have on your team!!!

  Midweek Break in Sligo

This was our first time to stay in the Riverside Hotel. It was a very pleasant three night stay. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the town centre and right beside the Garavogue River. We had a riverside room and had an great view of Swans and cygnets, ducks and ducklings, and a heron.

We had a family meal here at lunchtime on Sunday. There were 8 of us and everyone had a delicious meal and there were no complaints. The menu was great with lots of choice. Service was excellent. Staff were friendly and patient with the kids.

  Short stay in Sligo

A very enjoyable stay at the Riverside hotel. Lovely clean room with everything you would need for your stay. Big walk in safe shower. Very good location as only a short riverside walk into Sligo. We had food both in the restaurant and the bar. Staff pleasant. I had to alter our plans at short notice so a big thank you to Erin who sorted out the changes for our stay.
