Everything was great. The room and the hotel looked as though it has been refurbished. The virtual front desk worked very well and the parking access at night was easy to use. I will definitely use again in the future.

An outstanding property. Easy to access with code system. Extremely nice room. Like new. Very calming atmosphere after a long day. Car parking in safe gated area. Only downside was that, despite a quiet running fan, we had to open the window ( thus hearing traffic noise whilst trying to sleep) as the room was warm. Overall, a great place to stay, especially considering available use of lounge, kitchen area. Cheers.

Clean, comfortable, convenient. Good location for exploring the Cotswolds. Easy contactless checkin/out. We had an issue with the bathroom fan which was resolved promptly by a young man who took time to share local restaurant recommendations. Communal kitchen facilities were handy. 10 minute walk to main street with lots of restaurants and Tesco express. Would recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Unusual, but it works

We realised on booking that the hotel was unmanned. Almost to our surprise, it does work. We were given codes and instructions on how to enter and our room number an hour before check in. The rooms very clean, with a lot more storage than some other hotels. There was tea and coffee, plus a fan and hair dryer in needed. All the towels and bed linen were top quality. Downstairs there was a vending machine with cold drinks and snacks plus charging leads and toothbrush kits. Negatives were there was only one chair in the double room, no USB ports or instructions on how to use heating controls. Because we had used our rewards, we were happy with our bill. However I would not wanted to pay the full £140 for a Saturday night and have no breakfast.

The room was ok but when I arrived there was no key. A lady came and brought it but in the morning the cleaner came straight into my room without knocking thinking it was empty. The key system is flawed and I would worry about the security of guests. I won’t be staying somewhere with no reception again.

Great hotel

I really enjoyed my stay at Riverside Hotel. There was plenty of space available in their free carpark. As there is no Reception on site I received the check-in code exactly as explained on my phone. The process at the hotel to collect my key worked without a problem. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, had a very comfortable bed and plenty of hot water in the en-suite. I had a comfortable night's sleep.
