Riverside Hotel SouthBank

I wanted to share my thoughts about my recent stay. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as enjoyable as I had hoped. The receptionist wasn’t very welcoming, and the room had a strange smell. It was also quite small, and I had trouble finding enough towels. No dental kit in room.The charging points were far from the bed, which made things a bit inconvenient. Everything looks very old in room.Lastly, the pool water was too cold for a comfortable swim. I hope this feedback can help you improve these aspects for future guests. Such a bad experience never come back. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Paid $350 for a very dated and grotty room. Would have moved hotels if the whole of Southbank wasn't booked out and we weren't left enough time to search anywhere else before our event. Pitted toilet seats, mouldy showers, plugs that don't fit sinks, lights that didn't work, curtains that werent hung properly and pillows that were a pillowcase just stuffed with stuffing. And that was after we complained and they apparently upgraded us. Oh and the Riverside hotel doesn't have any view of the river even after we rang again after booking to check and was assured there was. Just a close up view of the go between bridge so you could watch people picking their nose in their cars. Even after complaining twice in a polite but unhappy manner, nothing was done. Meals were very average too.

I had the opportunity to stay at the Riverside for a night. The hotel boasts a pleasant and immaculate ambiance, complemented by its favorable location. The rooms, characterized by their ample space and inviting atmosphere, offer a delightful view. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the staff for their attentive care throughout my stay, ensuring a comfortable experience. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a respite from their usual surroundings for a few days.

I very medium hotel. Not a great view not a great pool. The pool was very public and felt like you were constantly being watched I did not appreciate that. There was no view no matter how high you went even though the photos make it look like it. The bath/shower was disgusting. I don’t know wether it was mold or just generally rotting, but make sure you bring shower shoes and don’t hold onto the broken door to help you get out. I did appreciate how there was a tv in each room and you could connect with your phone. Some of the people at the counter were quiet rude and blunt.

I chose Riverside Hotel based on proximity to QAGOMA and the State Library. It was an easy and safe, two minute walk and not much further to the restaurant in Fish Lane, for dinner. Drop off and free parking was effortless. We had views of GOMA and the city skyline from the bedroom, living room (with sofa bed) and balcony. Staff were pleasant and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Riverside Hotel is in a prime location, making it super convenient. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze, and I truly appreciated the option to check in early – especially since I was arriving late and just wanted to rest up. Definitely good value for money. However, they did lose a star as my bathroom had a bit of an off-putting sewerage smell. Other than that, a solid choice for a stay.

Great location. Room is large, a bit older but perfectly functional and clean. Great value accommodation. Bit of road noise but not enough to bother. Easy walking to everything southbank has to offer. Staff are great, and breakfast is great value. Will stay again

Rooms are comfortable and great walking down to the river for morning exercise. I have been coming here for 5 years running conferences and the training rooms are great, good facilities and cooked lunches for attendees. Staff are very friendly and attend to your needs. The bedding us very comfortable. Yes I agree the rooms were a bit tired, however they are all being upgraded with new carpets and air conditioners and paint works and furniture so having been here for many years can honestly say a real improvement and very good value for money both conference and staying. Only improvement for me would be some resistance weights,even dumb bells you could borrow would be good as walking along the river bears a treadmill.
