Perfect choice in Sligo
I don’t think I could have found a better hotel for one night in Sligo. Riverside is outstanding — great location close to town, comfortable room/bed (mine had a great view overlooking the river/bridge), nice restaurant/pub on site, free parking, and very friendly staff.

Modern, clean hotel
Modern, clean hotel in good location within quick walking distance of Galway city center. Car lot is extremely small, requiring us to park offsite. We were there on a warm day and being Ireland, there is no AC, but the room had a fan, which worked well.

Nice Hotel, good location
Upon arrival, I received a friendly welcome, and check-in was quick and easy. The room is a good size, very clean, and the bed is comfortable. Free parking is available nearby, and it's just a short walk to the city center, where there are many restaurants and bars.

The Riverside is a beautiful hotel next to the Shannon River. Bellina is a nice area where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of Ireland. We took a lovely boat ride on the Shannon, where we enjoyed the scenery and a pint. We would stay at this property and town again.
