Guest reviews for River Hotel

There was no one there when I got there. The email said there would be. Signs indicated I should go to the backdoor to be let in. No one let me in through the backdoor. The only way to get in was to give them a call. Not everyone who arrives in the UK immediately has a working phone - they rely on being able to check into their hotel. On the phone, they said there would be someone in the morning, but then in the morning there again wasn't.

Thank you for your feedback. As explained in the booking confirmation email, our reception is currently open on reduced hours. We sent you an email with details to gain access to your room. Expedia have recently been masking email address from us so we will follow up with your booking agent to ensure emails are being delivered. The reception was again open from 8am on Sunday morning. We are sorry you missed us.

Das Frühstück und die Lage haben mir besonders gefallen. Das Bad war grosszügig, aber leider nicht direkt mit dem Zimmer verbunden.

Thank you for your review and we are delighted to know you enjoyed your stay with us. Most of bedrooms have en-suite bathroom, but we do have two rooms with 'private bathroom', which is for your own use, but 'nicht direkt mit dem Zimmer verbunden'.

Rauhallinen hotelli, joen rannalla. Lyhyt matka keskustaan ja nähtävyyksiin. Ilmastointi puuttui ja oli kuuma.

The hotel is near to the city center. It was a nice stay there. The room was always clean. They don't have many diffrent choieses for breakfast. The service were friendly but slow.

Thank you for your review and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at the River Hotel. At breakfast we offer a buffet where you can help yourself to cereal, fruit, yoghurt, juice, condiments, and table service for English breakfast- freshly cooked (hence the wait), served with toast and tea/coffee. On your next visit do let us know if you would like something special on the buffet as we try to cater to all diets. Thanks again for your kind review and high score.
