Top Ballyshannon Hotel Reviews

Riverside Hotel

Riverside Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Since the hotel is in the city centre we could walk anywhere. Loved having a room on the river with a step-on balcony. We paid for parking on the street for only a couple of hours since we were staying Saturday night and leaving Sunday. (Paid parking stops at 6:30 pm on Saturday.) We parked on the street as the hotel parking lot was tiny."

10/10 Excellent
"Friendly, helpful staff and massive rooms compared to any of the 100’s of North American rooms we’ve stayed in. Pool was great but the picture of the pool with bouncy castle for toddlers / kids was not there. Maybe it was a special occasion when the picture of pool on website was taken. My toddler still had fun in kids pool and bigger pool with water wings. Lots of free parking in hotel parking lots if you have a vehicle. Overall experience was a 4.5* and would definitely stay there again."

"Our room had an amazing view. The room was not as clean as I have seen before (dust and dirt in corners of the room, shower and window were obvious) felt more like an apartment room than hotel but the Spa was amazing and the extra €30 per person was worth it."
