Riverside hotel was a lovely stay and had great facilities. It’s in prime location to other spots in and around Cirencester, and the hotel itself was very clean and spacious.

Quite a strange place as no staff on site, was ok for what we needed but not much character. Loud neighbours in the corridors at 7am after a wedding wasn’t ideal. Showers are electric so pretty weak. Beds were v comfy though and had hairdryer and tea and cofffee station.

All good but the online check in process was cumbersome and time consuming. You must remember to have ID DOCUMENTS on you when you start this process. Once inside it took me a while to locate the key boxes… I couldn’t see any signs telling me where they were. Otherwise room and cleanliness were excellent . I’d stay again and it would be easier as I now have the experience of how it all works.

Really great stay here and glad we booked this for our stay. We also made use of the small kitchen downstairs to use the microwave and this worked really well for our requirements that evening. Room was really clean and well put together- bed was super comfortable

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.

Great value hotel
Booked this hotel for a wedding as it's one of the cheapest in the area. The location is perfect ten minute walk into the lovely Cirencester. Much better area than the premier inn across the road. If you're looking for a affordable no frills hotel this is the one for you!

Great little hotel. Does exactly what you need. Not the prettiest area (it is in an industrial area), but gates mean it feels very safe.

Overnight stay at the Riverside for meeting the following day. Never stayed in a hotel no staff at hand - have to say the experience was fine - nice hotel, good parking, clean and spacious room and great shower - what more could you ask for.
