Perfectly located by the sea, stadium and Umgeni river. The staff is accommodating and friendly. The room with a view is spacious and clean.

Friendly, professional and helpful staff. Clean and mint rooms. Breakfast okay. Might need improvement on lunch meals - colleagues unhappy about meal quality and taste.

The warmth and welcome was amazing, from all stuff members, you start at security and you feel the love from all people, they are so helpful. As for me I am a sleeping bird, Thursday I was late and couldn't make it to breakfast but the well mannered lady at reception insisted to help me, asked the kitchen stuff to pack the breakfast for me, and they saved me money because I was going to buy something on the road. I love Riverside thank you.

Worst They have a rat problem and way too noisy in the evening. They rates ate the power cable that caused all the plugs to be down in the room. The hotels drinks were worse than buying a drink in the UK. Do not recommended to my worst enemy.

Terrible service average hotel I booked a suite for 2 adults and 2 children. On the app the description of the suite was that it would have a king bed and a twin bed. However, all it had was a king bed. Even after getting the manager on the line he was unable to provide a solution to the problem except to say i had to pay an extra 500 rands for an extra bed. The mistake was clearly in the hotel's description of the suite, so quite annoying that costs were passed onto me and management unable to assist.
