Olivia J.
I was charged twice for the room, and I don’t know how Riverside Rooms got my bank details. I booked through Booking.com, which has always been reliable, but Riverside Rooms charged me too. When I asked for the money back, they wouldn’t return it, and Booking.com had to escalate the matter. It’s been 17 days and I still haven’t received the refund. I’ll never stay here again and would advise others to avoid it. As a young woman on my own, I also didn’t feel particularly safe in the area. The parking cost is ridiculous, there’s no guaranteed space, and it’s very unclear where you’re allowed to park. I needed to leave my car before work at 9:00 am. I was told that would be fine, but the manager slept in, and I couldn’t leave the car there without risking a £100 fine. I had to pay £16 to park in a car park all day, which was extremely expensive given I’d already paid Riverside Rooms for parking.

Check-in was easy, and my two-day stay was quiet, with a river view. The place is small, nice, clean and quiet, and does the job for a short stay. It’s a 15-minute walk from the train station and about 10-12 minutes on foot to the city centre. There are rooms with shared bathrooms and others with private ones. The Wi-Fi wasn’t very good. I didn’t need parking or the kitchen during my stay, so I can’t say what to expect there.

I haven’t personally stayed here, but I’m writing because this situation has caused my friend a lot of distress and difficulty. They’re a student with no income, and I’ve had to help them financially because of it. They were charged twice for their room and have had no success getting the money back. The business won’t correspond with them and is also ignoring Booking.com, the service used to arrange the room. There’s been no response for 17 days. During their stay, I also received a phone call describing terrible service from the staff. I’d avoid staying here at all costs. Evidence for these claims can be provided.

I had a great stay in a lovely room at this wonderful place by the river. The owner is very kind.

The toilet was broken, they weren’t honest about the free Wi-Fi, and there was no service or support when I had problems.
