Travel Description : The Riverside Hotel, Muckross Road, Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland
Area Description : With its three famous lakes and great mountain ranges, Killarney in County Kerry has been the inspiration of poets and painters over many centuries. The Killarney National Park is internationally renowned both for its scenic beauty and scientific interest. Added to the beauty of the three main lakes are many other lakes in the folds of the mountains, numerous picturesque cascades and, rising to the west of the valley, the peaks of MacGillicuddy's Reeks.Â
We have just returned from a mimi break in Kerry The staff were excellent and very helpful The public ares and rooms are spotlessly clean and well maintained Breakfast was a real treat with fantastic menu A good appetite is required to do the lovely food justice We hope to return during high season next year and hope to see the same friendly staff
No complaints whatsoever
Had lovely 2 day break away at the Riverside Hotel, killarney. Lovely hotel, great food, comfy bed, friendly staff, highly recommend it.
We recently stayed for 3 nights DBB. Our room on the ground floor (as requested) was spotless & maintained daily, but the furniture was old style.The Full Irish breakfast had everything, mushrooms, beans, hash browns etc. Refills of tea/ coffee was always offered. The starters & dinners yhwere first class both in quality & quantity & we sampled most of them. The dining room staff couldn't do enough for us. The hotel did not have a pool or gym , this was more than compensated for by the friendliness of the staff & the quality of the food.
Had a lovely 2 days at the Riverside Hotel in killarney. Hotel staff friendly and helpful, clean and bright reception area, relaxed atmosphere and the food was excellent, looking forward to the next trip.
Very clean hotel, friendly staff, good dinner and breakfast options, location is walking distance to town centre.
Excellent service.staff very friendly and the food was first class.
Great hotel. The reception staff were friendly, the room was lovely with a heater that could be adjusted manually. We ate in the restaurant and the staff were friendly and polite. Breakfast was great with a really good selection. On top of that it was great value for money. I cannot fault the place
A beautiful spotless hotel, dinner and breakfast were lovely and staff were very friendly and helpful. On arrival we were offered coffee which was such a nice gesture. I have stayed in the Riverside a few times and will return on my next visit to Killarney.
Myself and my wife Betty had a lovely time in the Riverside Hotel. Friendly staff, lovely food and spotlessly clean.
Had a lovely stay, food,staff, room perfect, great location, will definitely return.
Good location on the banks of a river, short walk into town centre. Friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. Breakfast and Dinner of good quality and standard. Good base to explore Killarney. Have visited and returned many times and look forward to returning. It's also nice to see the same friendly staff on return visits particularly after Covid.

I really liked the hotel. Comfy bed. Hearty full Irish breakfast I’d recommend. Staff were friendly. Hotel is 15 minute walk to Killarney centre. Plenty of car parking
The hotel is lovely and cosy. We got a lovely room overlooking the mountains, it was clean and cosy warm. Breakfast was lovely but the best was the friendliness of the staff, nothing was a bother. We will definitely return.
Great Staff good food relaxing
Clean and we'll located. Also we had to change the date of our booking and they accommodated it, no hassle and no extra charge. Breakfast was good also.
Great hotel room was perfect food excellent staff so helpful will be going back again soon
Staff at the hotel were excellent from check in to bar and cleaning personnel all were excellent and represented the hotel very well. Food in the bar was very good in terms of presentation and taste, breakfast also very good. Very good adherence to COVID requirements. Our room was well presented and clean, excellent shower pressure. Good location and only a 15 min walk to Main Street for example. My wife and I very much enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to others.
Always enjoying staying at the Riverside Hotel. We return year after year, friendly, good service and value for money.
What a fantastic break we had very friendly staff and helpful, food top notch would go back again without a second thought brilliant.
Room had no air extractor in bathroom and the air conditioning unit outside the window was so noisy. Also the food was poor. My wife got very sick after the chicken and Rasher dish.

Very clean food excellent location very good 7.8 minutes walk to town centre Staff very good and helpful. Facilities all good all in all we would recommend this hotel to anybody
service was amazing...all staff very helpful pleasant and professional and friendly
Stayed here on a 2 night midweek break inclusive of breakfast & evening meal. Staff very helpful and pleasant, food was nice especially the breakfast. Bedroom was clean and well equipped the only small thing would be that the furniture could do with a bit of an update but the bed was very comfortable. I would stay again, midweek break rate was good value.
Clean comfortable rooms, pleasant staff and a wonderful breakfast.
Lovely hotel, staff were very friendly and obliging, especially Ciara in the mornings!! Excellent breakfast. Would not hesitate to stay there again in the future.
We both enjoyed our stay room was fine and food was lovely and all staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Wil definitely be back to stay again
Great location. Lovely staff. Great breakfast.
Great location and lovely staff. The breakfast kept us going all day.
Lovely hotel felt like home from home breakfast was lovely .had dinner one night of my stay in restaurant was a bit disappointed as not lot to choose from everything was with chips . Apart from that I had lovely stay and staff were very helpful and friendly .
We're after spending a lovely relaxing few days in the hotel. We found the hotel to very clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, They could not make us feel more welcome. The food in the hotel was top notch, I would recommend the Riverside Hotel.
Excellent
Stayed here for 1 night and can not fault it. The hotel is spotless. The food was excellent and the staff were pleasant. Very well priced. Would definitely stay here again
Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel very clean and comfortable . Food was really good. Looking forward to my next stay..
I would highly recommend the Riverside Hotel, from the warm welcome received to the wonderful food. I will return.
Lovely hotel. Staff very friendly arnd helpful. Excellent adherence to Covid guidelines throughout the hotel. Breakfast was excellent each morning, also had food in the bar in the evening again this was very good. Definitely stay there again.
En-suite toilets facilities needs attention. No extraction fan or vent in the en-suite. Cracked sink an cracked tiles. bath cover could do with replacing as badly stained. There was a hotel maintenance office in the grounds outside our room, approx 5 metres away so had to keep curtains to external windows as staff could look in if left open. Foyer, bar and restaurant were good.
Breakfast was very poor
I know it's strange times but the hotel could have been more accommodating we arrived at 2.40 knowing it was too early to check in I asked anyway and was told check in was 4 there was no bar open or anywhere just to get a cup of tea or coffee another family arrived and where checked in straight away I front of me then the receptionist z she would check if my room was ready which she could have done in the first place as my room was ready after all.no bar service til 5 could only sit in bar if eating otherwise had to sit in lobby but u still had to go into bar and order your drinks and no screens around bar counter.my partner went into the bar which was empty to order a drink he asked if he could watch sky sports news on the bar tv and was told no cos he wasnt eating.last drinks at 11 and libby had to be cleared by 11.30 there was 1 gin glass available in the bar and no straws.nice hotel breakfast was lovely as were the staff serving it .
Not great service as regards the bar service. I know that there are Covid regulations in place, but having stated on their Covid policy that the bar closes at 11pm, it in actual fact closed earlier.
Lovely Hotel,well located for visiting Killarney. Staff very helpful especially during Covid regulations. We have stayed here many times and will be back again soon????
Hotel was very good. Covid 19 recommendations adhered to by staff. Food was lovely and room was perfect for us.
Got a lovely upgrade to a suite when we arrived ! And a lovely note and chocolates in the room wishing us a happy anniversary. Food was great! 5 out of 5 all round
Excellent hotel, fabulous facilities and staff are so welcoming. Throughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend a visit.
Lovely hotel and staff were excellent from check in to bar, restaurant etc, all very helpful.Very strict on Covid guidelines, lots of hand sanitizer and all staff and guests wearing masks. Food good in bar if abit pricey. Don't stay in rooms over the outside smoking area as it can be noisy there at night. Overall a pleasant stay. Killarney is an expensive town to eat out in as all restaurants and gastro bars appear to charge in and around the same prices for very ordinary food, Starters, main courses all overpriced, shop bought Desserts all at least 7e everywhere we went for what I've picked up in Aldi and Lidl for a fraction of this price
All food excellent service was excellent plenty of staff to meet covid 19 regulations
Very comfortable stay, however we found the ambience very dark. Staff were friendly however receptionist was very rushed when booking us in, trying to book 2 people at the same time and reading the rules and regulations which we were well aware of.
Lovely hotel with great reception and cleaning staff. Will go back again.
Fantastic standard of food both at breakfast and dinner.
Staff are so helpful and the location was perfect for our stay. Beautiful breakfast menu with plenty of options. Hotel rooms are a little dated for a 4* hotel and if your booking includes dinner note all main courses (bar one) included a supplement charge of between €6 -€8 pp in addition to what you had already paid. This was surprising!
Great value and location for money. Breakfast was lovely and had lots of variety. The food in the bar was slightly overpriced and portions were small. I would definitely stay here again.
Very comfortable Hotel with good food ,front desk were helpfull. Attention to covid restrictions was apparent .
We have gone to Killarney f past number of years to the races at this time but we decided to go as we love Killarney
Excellent hotel, lovely food ate every night in restaurant. Friendly staff , very clean and definitely book again!
Lovely food and very attentive young staff..great location too
The Riverside hotel was lovely very comfortable and spotless food was amazing the staff could not do any more for us unfortunately we had to leave after the first day because one of us had an accident in the town and had to go to hospital everyone was very supportive wpuld definitly go back again
Nice hotel
rooms were slightly outdated, very comfortable bed though!! food was fantastic in bar and breakfast was excellent aswell
Brilliant two days everything great, staff food and the hotel room,
Rooms could do with a bit of TLC.... shower pressure low but sink water pressure high so probably a shower mixer issue. Windows not fully closing so some outdoor noise seeps in. Staff excellent and so welcoming. The Spanish Bar / Restaurant hostess was exceptional... the food too; breakfast and dinner was worth staying for alone.... superb.
From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff at this hotel. Great breakfasts and dinner served by very efficient staff working in difficult circumstances. A very well run hotel handy to the town and would definitely recommend to others.
Nice hotel. Felt safe. Only concern was that waiters were taking on and off masks. I complained to reception and the following morning they were left on. Well done. Rooms clean.
Hotel and Meals were excellent. Staff were so friendly and well trained in all aspects of Covid19 regulations. I have already recommended the hotel to Friends through Lidl Breaks.
Very nice hotel. No hairdryer in room. Staff very nice. Food very good but a little expensive. I would recommend and I would stay again.
We had an amazing break. This started at the Reception Desk, we were welcomed and given our room. The room was compact however it was lovely. The real strength of the hotel lies with the Staff and the Food. We went for dinner later that evening in The Bacchus Room Restaurant. First of all, we were very impressed with the staff, there were lots of young people with great manners and communication skills. The dinner was just delicious, we had Lemon Sole and Salmon, both dishes were so tasty. We went out in the town that night and had a great time in the Grand. The next morning, we had a Great Breakfast, where everything was just freshly cooked. This makes such a difference. Great Staff again came to the fore in the morning. Thank You to the Riverside Hotel for a truly Lovely Break.
My wife and I stsyed 4 night's in the Riverside Hotel. We found that this hotel was excellent with breakfast and dinner of a very high standard. Could not Fault Bedrooms and accommodation.All staff gave very good service and where very friendly. I would highly recommend this Hotel
We stayed here over the Christmas period recently and were very happy with the hotel and would definitely stay again. When we arrived in our room I was disappointed as the bed was a double and as I find it difficult to sleep I went to reception to enquirer if it was possible to get a room with a bigger bed. The lady on the reception desk could not have been more helpful and a room with a super king size bed became available immediately without any extra cost! And what a comfy bed it was; great nights sleep. Staff are lovely and friendly. Looking forward to returning.
Lovely hotel in a great location - would gladly recommend and will stay there again
Hotel was perfect.no complaints what so ever..comfortable and very very clean.the staff were amazing and we had a great weekend.would definately stay here again
Hotel was clean, bed wasn't a bit conformable, and o my god the food in the restaurant was not nice. 4 of us eat in the restaurant and none of us liked the food!!!!!!
Bon rapport qualité prix, très bien situé, proche du centre ville sans les nuisances.
Despite a request on Booking for a disability room and cot in 2nd room, these were not provided. When I pointed out to the Receptionist on duty about the disability room, her answer was all the rooms are disability access with wide doors and low baths. I'm sorry but this is not accepted standard for a disability access. You need proper walk in showers to take wheelchair/rollators plus proper hand rails to classify a disability bathroom. Hotel please take note. We decided not to pursue with the cot as the room given was quite small to take one. Also, there seemed to be a problem with supplying a top-up toilet roll. in our room. Duvets on beds were quite heavy and rooms very warm despite turning off radiator at wall. The one evening meal included in our stay was awful. Dried overcooked salmon plus steak which was well overdone. Also choice on menu was poor with extra charge supplement required on most main courses. Overall, the hotel foyer was lovely and we encountered one Waitress in the Restaurant who was exceptional. Maria Colgan.
Really enjoyed our nights stay. The hotel was nice and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Four of us stayed and the only drawback that we found was that the menu for the evening meal didn't have much choice and the food that we did get wasn't great. (none of the four of us are fussy!!!!). Breakfast was nice in the morning though.
Lovely hotel and in a great spot, just a 10 minute walk from the Killarney town.
A group of 8 of us stayed there recently for a 70th birthday. We had put alot of time and effort in to making sure everything was going to be right and had thought we had made the right decision in booking this hotel how wrong we were were. From start to finish it was a diaster..There was a problem with one of the rooms in the booking thought dinner was inckuded but it wasnt but before we were even seated for dinner got acosted 3 times by staff members even when we sat down same thing it got really embarssing and uncomfortable as this was supposed to bea soecial occasion and thought this could be handled more discreetly not in front of 7 other people..I even went out to the girl on rececption and told her to put the extra 2 meals on our room but just as meal was finished was forced to pay there and then , so unprofessional. The meal was awful 3 lamb shanks were ordered and sent back you couldn't even cut through them there were like leather..veg was hard and potatoes werent much better , it was sat night a few eating in the restaurant i wonder why..We had asked for the birthday cake to come out with the teas and coffees and they forgot. We were all so disappointed couldnt wait to leave the next morning. We did complain as we were leaving she wrote a couple of lines down and took our number still waiting on a phonecall , they obviously couldnt care less as more unfortunate people will probaly have the same experience as us...Stay well clear of this hotel so wish we never booked it...
Always a nice place to stay. Frequent visitor to Killarney and you can't beat it for comfort, value and location.
very nice hotel ,staff very friendly ,good food pity there is no leisure club or pool will stay again
The Hotel was very warm and comfortable, staff excellent. The only hiccup related to the overuse of brocolli and courgettes (sliced greens) in both the Thai Red Curry and the Stir Fry perhaps the chef should use a little more inagination. Otherwise an enjoyable stay.
We had a lovely stay. Room was spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful and the lobby area was really cosy with an open fire. It is just outside Killarney town. But we walked in and it only took ten minutes. Breakfast was excellent and cooked to order. We would definitely return.
Overall good as the rooms were clean, reasonable size and it is in a good location on the main Muckross road. Wouldn't necessarily say it was 4 star, not a huge amount of facilities, not sure where their spa/treatment area was, restaurant was the most dated area and was not even 3 star standard. Staff were friendly, reception/lounge and bar area was nice. Bar prices were quite expensive. Lift was a bit noisy and interior decoration was scuffed and torn.
We stayed there as we were goin to a concert in the INEC, hotel was ideal location walking distance to the INEC.....Hotel was lovely, staff were so friendly and helpful. Rooms were nice.....food wasn't great.
If you book this hotel with fair and reasonable expectations, you'd have no reason to be disappointed. The rooms are unremarkable but fine, bar area quiet, breakfast was good, cooked to order a definite plus. Plenty of parking, 10 to 15 min walk to town centre
Great hotel, great value, great staff
Lovely Lobby, open fire all day, Very Clean hotel. Bar not very inviting, not great atmosphere. Restaurant staff friendly , but ensured we knew we were on a" Lidl break "and could only pick from Early Bird menu. Breakast excellent, buffet for cereal etc but full irish served to table, lovely touch. Rooms were spotless, though old brown furniture gave it an old feel. Central location no problem to get to any area ie town, national park etc. Would stay again and would recommend.
We had a fantastic stay, the staff we're so welcoming, friendly u couldn't ask for more, they room was everything we wanted, clean, fresh, food was excellent, great choice both for our evening meal
excelent small hotel in walking distance of killarney town. Open fire lighting every night in the lobby made it very romantic for a night cap. Very clean and modern with frendly staff. The food is excelent with wild rabbit and foul to be had on the menue
Lovely hotel we got a warm welcome, The food was lovely staff very helpful.Would stay there again.
a very welcoming hotel, rooms spacious and clean , food excellent. decor relaxing seating in restaurant a little dated.
My wife and I spent one night in Riverside Hotel on Sunday 23rd August in room 222. I am glad I only booked one night. The menu for dinner was terrible very poor selection and quality of food very bad. If you are looking for a good meal steer clear. will never put foot in this hotel again. I would give this hotel one star. a@e Ward
Staff friendly and helpful, breakfast very good. Will stay here again.
Loved every minute. Super relaxing with great staff. We'l be back soon
Stayed in the Riverside Hotel for a Family 3 night break in early July. We had a large group of 8 adults & 7 small children & we couldn't have asked for more. The Staff in the hotel were second to none, they couldn't have done enough for us. The Food in the restaurant was top class & the breakfast was so nice with any amount & variety of food for fussy children & hungry adults. I would highly recommend this hotel to any Family looking for a break away in Killarney.
We enjoyed a recent trip to the Riverside Hotel, staff were extremely friendly, courteous and efficient. Our room was nice, clean and bright and had all the accessories required for a short stay. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and really liked their healthy options. The dinner menu was quite limited especially on our first evening and when I requested the fish to be pan-fried instead of deep-fried in batter, the chef declined my request, which was a pity as I had to change to another choice. I was disappointed as it takes only a few minutes to pan-fry a piece of cod! Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return as it is very conveniently situated. Another point I would like to make is that the reception staff request full payment on arrival, it is the only hotel known to us that make this request, when I mentioned it to them, they said it was to ease queue at check-out but we saw none during our stay. We checked out at 11.30am and we were alone with no queue in sight!!!!
Nice Hotel, good location. Breakfast buffet and Full Irish served to table is a lovely treat. Restaurant could be a bit more inviting for dinner. Menu for dinner a bit limited but food was ok. Over all a good value for money break.
Hi Enjoyed our stay recently. Reception area was spotless Bedrooms were clean Breakfast was nice Bar could be freshened up a bit , found it a bit tired Bar & reception staff very friendly
Everything was great except for the tour groups booked in for the 4 nights of our stay. We were not able to choose our meal times as the toursgot priority. Had to wait 40 mins for our hot breakfast on the last morning, as the staff were giving the tour priority. We are regulars and felt let down even though it is the likes of us who kept the hotel going through the hard times.
Fantastic hotel. Food was amazing. Recommend to all
We had a nice stay in this hotel. However it was a little dated, not the standard of other four star hotels. Everything seemed clean but just old, especially the bathroom. No water offered in the room, and only very basic toiletries, that kind of thing. The food was only ok, I would recommend going in to eat in Killarney town. However the staff were friendly and as we got a very good price on the room I think it was worth what we paid. It's a little too far out to walk into Kilarney town at night so we got a taxi. Very close to the ring of Kerry, Torc waterfall etc.
Had a FAB Stay
Lovely rooms, very comfortable, very friendly staff good location walking distance to Inec and town. I will definitely stay again have stayed 3 times already. Dining area could do with a bit of a decor revamp especially the entrance lacks in the impressive factor compared to gorgeous lobby, food was good, not amazing but good. This place cannot be beaten for quality, price and location in Killarney. I highly recommend it.
Never got the chance to stay there, was moved to another Hotel at opposite side of town, Hotel must have sold the rooms for a higher price. Not a happy camper. Regards James.
This is a good hotel and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and dinner was fine. The dining room is a little dark and I did not understand why the curtains were closed on a lovely summer evening. We were handed the inclusive dinner menu only and the main course choices were a little limited. Staff were excellent and service too. I was disappointed to find the pictures of seating beside the river were actually taken in the public park next door and not in the hotel grounds, which consists of car parking only. We enjoyed our stay and had a lovely time.
We enjoyed our stay there. It lives up to it's 4* rating. i would definitely stay there again. Just at the right distance to the town too.
Comfortable hotel and very helpful and friendly staff. Food good but could do with more menu changes. Double beds comfortable but small (4ft 6in). Some issues with wifi.
On arrival, we were given a room that had not been made up / cleaned. The receptionist sent up a woman ( housekeeper) who showed us to another room that had not been cleaned out (This was circa 4.00.pm) On the third attempt and on a different floor, she found us a room that appeared to have set up for new guests. ON closer inspection, there was a layer of dust, stained carpets and no fan in the ensuite. After leaving our luggage, I adjourned to the bar only to be served a pint of Carlsberg, that was "off
GREAT WEEKEND STAFF BRILLANT FOOD LOVELY . BEDROOM LOVELY
Hotel staff and meal were excellent,beds were lovely and comfortable and the temp of the room was just appropriate,all in all avery pleasant stay,thank to you to the riverside manager and his staff and thank you lidl for an excellent affordable break
we had a lovely break hotel staff were very helpful.food was exellant. we dined at the hotel on both nights.we had a very relaxing couple of days .we are back there again in october.
great hotel, will be back
Very nice hotel overlooking a river hence the name. Great value and great location within walking distance of Killarney Town. Would have no hesitation staying there again. Nice clean quiet room and very nice breakfast with great choice. Loses a star in my opinion as room we had was a ground floor room overlooking the car park when a more elevated room overlooking the river would have been appreciated, we had no reason to complain given the competitive room rate we got. Bed adequate but not the most comfortable I have spelt in.
The hotel is beautiful. The room was spacious and spotless. The breakfasts were delicious as was the dinner. I would definitely stay there again!! The staff were very friendly,curtious and helpful.
I have stopped in literally hundreds of hotels in many countries. The staff here were second to none, the food was way above expectations, the décor was perfect for me. The location for Killarney was perfect and I had a lovely view looking out over the river. I used the hotel for a mini break and the hotel was perfect for that need and in fact would be perfect for longer stays and business use. I would recommend this hotel to everybody without reservation.
Our stay in the Riverside Hotel was a pleasant experience. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome. The rooms are comfortable and very clean, just a short distance from Killarney town centre and a stroll away from Killarney National Park. Our package included a 2 course evening meal which in the context of what we paid for the overall stay was excellent value. Breakfast is a feast offering everything from the traditional irish to fruit , cereals cheese etc. I would highly recommend the Riverside Hotel for a break and will certainly make a return visit.
Unfortunately we were unable to go to Killarney last Saturday night ,, We were unaware that under the terms and conditions of the booking that we should have cancelled our booking 3 days earlier , so we got an telephone call on Saturday night saying that we would be charged full rate for the night even though we DIDN'T go to the hotel . To say that we were displeased is an understatement . rating NO STAR
Nice hotel and really enjoyed our stay but the food was very poor. We had a meal in the restaurant one evening as part of the package and the pork was overcooked and inedible. Very disappointing.
Very pleasant staff and helpful. The carpet in the room we were in needs to be cleaned and it would be great if the bathroom had a fan. Great service, great dining room and great location
Nice hotel. Pity no pool or jacuzzi/sauna. The pool next door is very disappointing. Very nice rooms and the food was exceptional. Thanks
The hotel was lovely, really comfortable and the food was fab. All the staff were really nice and accommodating, and the hotel is located only minutes from the town. It was an excellent stay, will def be back!
had a brilliant weekend in the riverside hotel. staff were lovely will definitely be back
Had a fab 2 days, food was great, beautiful hotel staff could not do enough for us.Will be back, Would recommend to everyone
Enjoyed overnight stay in Riverside Hotel. Hotel is immaculate, friendly staff and comfortable room. Had meal in bar, only suggestion would be more chips less fish! Breakfast was good. Will return.
Enjoyed our stay,have been many times would highly recommend. Food great,staff lovely.
Great stay at the Riverside. Checked in early around 1230 and our room was ready. Room was spotless and spacious. Had lunch in the bar with afew drink nice atmosphere, food was excellent and service was first class from Christy. Staff were very helpful with local info and were very friendly. Overall was happy with our stay and would defenitly return to the Riverside.
Lovely hotel, friendly staff, good breakfast & nice clean rooms. My only criticism would be that I found the set menu very limited for dinner as some of the dishes were very complicated/unusual, however the chocolate fondant was divine!!
Very friendly staff, good food and nice rooms.
We had a lovely stay at the Riverside Hotel with a beautiful spacious room which was really comfortable. The staff were lovely and friendly and the food was fab there. There was a great choice for breakfast which would suit everyone. Atmosphere in the hotel was lovely and relaxed and it was nice to see the books and the games for kids and adults to chill out to in the lobby.Will def stay there again
To whom it concerns i stayed at the riverside and had a very pleasant stay , the staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and very warm. the food in the bar was very good. would stay there again
Absolutely lovely hotel. Relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Good food and friendly helpful staff. Will definitely return.
We had a girls night away at this hotel and it was great. The rooms were spotless and the beds were super comfortable. We had a very enjoyable dinner in the restaurant and breakfast was also lovely. We relaxed by the fire in the lobby with a glass of wine and just had a really relaxing stay. Would totally recommend as it was great value for money.
Nice "elegant-old style" room. I liked the hot water being extra hot [some hotels have luke warm 'hot' water. I enjoyed their selection of board games [that we used extensively :) ].
Spent two nights here last week with my wife. Everything about this hotel is top notch. Food, staff, accomadation, location, everything was perfect. Would highly recommend this hotel and we will be back for sure.
Stayed for 2 nights on 4or 5 occassions never had any problems. nice hotel friendly staff good food . But This Time The Dinner Menu For LIDL Guests Was Different To The Hotel Menu...And It Was Not A Very Good Menu.....
i have been on a few lidil breaks now the hotel was lovely the only gripe i have is that when we went for our dinner we got a different menu to anybody that wasnt on the lidil breaks. The menu we got had very little choice on it for main course. Now this never happened before in any other hotel. It just made us feel like we were second class citizen.
Accommodation was superb, friendly staff,rooms were very clean and tidy, well worth another visit in the near future.
This hotel stay was just brilliant. Hotel itself is gorgeous, food was outstanding and service was amazing! I would definitely recommend it and will return.
Stayed on Thursday 10th - Saturday 12th October 2013 Room 208 Great location, lobby/bar area modern and clean, full irish brekfast was very good And promptly served. Downside of this hotel was the bedroom. Clock radio on the bedside locker had about 10 years of dirt engrained in it. The room looked like it hadnt been dusted in days. The extractor fan for the shower was blocked with lumps of dust!!! The sink rim silicone was covered in mildew. The seal around the bedroom window was broken, leading to a draughty night and early morning wake up due to traffic noise, the window may as well have been open !! Overall happy with the location,lobby area and service but very disappointed with room 208.
Dear Riverside hotel, on sat the 28th of September I was 10 years married, my mother was 75 so as a surprize our whole family got together and decided 2 stay in Killarney because we love it down there, my mother and sister stayed for 2 nites ans 10 others arrived on sat afternoon. It was a fabulous wend the staff were so nice and friendly we thouroughly enjoyed it. But on sunday am at about 7am the door 2 our room was opened by a member of staff and a naked man was allowed into our room , I was deeply upset about it and brought it to the attention of the reception staff, But I feel nothing was done about it and I am truely sad about it. As I said we had alovely time before it all happened. I would like an apology from the Hotel as I hope to visit Killarney again soon before the Christmas period. thanks Trish
I stayed in the riverside hotel in Killarney for 1 night and would highly recommend this hotel. The staff very very polite, helpful nad courteous. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. We had lunch in the bar and it was very good value and tasty, no complaints about our stay. Would go back.
Stayed here for one night while attending a wedding in Killarney. Location is excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable but the towels in the bathroom were a bit worn and old.
The hotel was perfectly located and the main receiption area with open fire very inviting. All the staff we met were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was very good especially the breakfast. The curtains in our room could do with replacing as they appeared to have shrunk and the hook at one end missing. Overall a lovely hotel and I'll definately be back.
nice hotel, excellent food but just a bit of a distance to walk to town in the evening. would stay again!
This is a beautiful hotel .really enjoyed our stay.Very clean and bright. we had a lovely vegetarian dinner and breakfast and it was great to have soya milk available for breakfast and for a cappuccino,i will definitely be recommending this hotel to all my friends especially my veggie ones.
We had a lovely break here lately and we were very pleased with everything. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was good and the location is convenient for Muckross House and the Ring of Kerry. We will go here again.
Stayed overnight lovely hotel bar food good staff very helpful would have no problem staying again
This is an addendum to my review sent to you on 6/6/13- when we went to the restaurant for our meal, I asked if we could upgrade to the A la carte menu-and I was told there was no problem-for 10 euro a head and it was beautiful
I stayed 3 nights beautiful hotel, food fantastic, service first class. But every-time we came into the dinning room we were told that we were on a Lidl Break and only could have 2 courses from the Lidl dinner menu, we knew this already and didn't need reminding each evening. Angela
lovely hotel-we stayed there in April Staff very friendly food great and our room was nice-and quiet-will go again
Loved this hotel. Stayed there before and recommended and brought friends with us this time. Staff could not be more obliging or nicer to us. Breakfast was lovely, quite adequate and the value we got with our Lidl break was great. Dinner however was a total disaster. We did say it to a staff member and they were very attentive to us and wanted to replace our meals but the damage was done and we declined. I would still stay at this hotel again, but would never take the dinner package again no matter what good value it was.
Great hotel staff very helpful,food excepional. Brilliant hotel if you motorbike as the parking is in full view of reception.
I had a marvelous stay in Killarney at the Riverside Hotel. Wonderful interiors, very good service and some excellent dining too. Very reasonably priced for a lovely hotel. Well worth a visit.
Room was very nice. Package dinner was on the cheap side with very limited selection - main course reminiscent of fast food served on proper plates. There was no option to upgrade e.g. to a steak for an additional charge. Would definitely recommend for B&B only.
stayed 13/04/13 excellent clean hotel reception staff extremley friendly and helpful , bedrooms spacious and comfortable about a 10-15 min walk from town centre of town or 5-7 euro for a taxi would definatley visit again.
We recently stayed at the Riverside Hotel Killarney, the value for money on 3 nights b&b and 3 dinners was excellent. The Hotel accomodation was very good the staff were very friendly and helpful.Hotel was clean and tidy as were the rooms. We have recommended both Lidl breaks and the Hotel to friends and anyone reading this. Thank you.
lovely hotel food very good staff very friendly-especially Senna,ideally situated from town
We enjoyed very well
Very enjoyable stay! Lovely spottlessly clean hotel. Great food. Well recommended.
Recently stayed at the Riverside with my wife, plesant fast service on check-in, lobby was bright, warm, and very clean. Had some food in the bar, service was quiet good, food was average,Bedroom spaceious and well equipt, happy with the cleanlyness. Overall good expierence.
Lovely spacious rooms, very comfortable and staff very friendly, would definitely recommend
had a brillant stay at the riverside hotel in killarney. The staff were so friendly and helpful.. We had dinner in hotel the first night it was great .. Breakfast the next day was good too great variety of food.. we booked a facial for sunday which was no hassle .. would recommend anyone staying there and intend to go back again its about 5-10 minutes walk from town centre .. taxi called and arrived within 5 mins .. great service by all the staff
Very good
room was very noisy. Kitchen extractors right out our window started at 8 am on a sunday morning. Dinner was less than avarage. 45 minutes wait for main course.10 Euro steak supplement, abit much I believe. Staff in all departments were lovely but will not stay or recommend as there are better out there.
The hotel was clean and presentable but the food was really terrible, on the first night we ordered the dinner which came with the packet and we were given a single menu which was seperate from the legitimate one, the meat was two thin slices of roast beef that was hard and reheated, it was served with pureed potatoes which was the texture of baby food and tasteless, the dessert was undercooked and aslo tasteless. I complained to the manager but he just nodded and walked away. The next night we bought food from the bar and the burgers were rancid, so all we could eat were chips and we were charged the grand price of 30 Euro for this displeasure! As for the breakfast, it was just about enough to keep hunger at bay for about thirty minutes, there was no buffet for the cooked breakfast so we were given one rasher of bacon, one sausage, one egg. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone nor would I recommend a Lidl break to anyone.
Very enjoyable experience, great value, friendly staff, modern hotel.
I booked the hotel for a girls quiet night in Killarney on a Friday night. Firstly the staff were very friendly and as we had arrived early, we were able to check in ahead of time. The wait staff couldn't do enough. The room was fine but there was a faint smell of cigarette smoke so it appeared that some previous guest had been smoking in the room. We didn't complain about this to the front desk. I was hesitant about eating in the hotel for dinner as the reviews were not so positive. Unfortunately the reviews were accurate. I was concerned about my main course and sent it back to the kitchen for review as I felt it wasn't quite right. The waitress advised that the chef had said that it was cooked as it should be but offered me an alternative. I declined. They promised an extra big dessert, which I received and the manager also removed the main course from our bill. So again, I could not fault the staff in the hotel. Overall, very positive feelings about the staff, but serious concerns about the food from the restaurant.
Would not rate this hotel as a 4 star,the rooms very basic and old fashioned,loads of dust on headboard of bed,the shower was shocking,asked for a room with a view as it stated many rooms overlooking the river flesk i got a lovely view of the carpark and hotel kitchen!If i hung my head out the window far enough i would of seen the river alright...The only upside was breakfast was lovely great choice and a nice hot breakfast.Overall it would be a 2 star plus,if i had my time over would not of stayed there,im a bit disappointed with the experience :(
Stayed here for a weekend had a wedding in kilarney and the riverside is less than 5 minute drive from town centre. I cannot fault this hotel you are made so welcome by all the staff they are so friendly. Breakfast menu very good too. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will be back again.
lovely hotel, staff are so nice helpful and friendly. we ate int restaurant and the food was lovely, room was clean and comfortable. would definitely stay here again. thanks everyone for a lovely weekend
At the time of booking I requested a quiet room, only to find that we had been given a room at the front of the hotel, which is fronting a very busy Muckross Road. The following morning we asked if a quiet room could be made available the receptionist expressed surprise that we found the room noisy but proceeded to arrange a "quieter" room and we were given a road at the back of the hotel, which was quiet from a traffic point of view, but the extractor fan system was outside our window, the delivery trucks and bin trucks made their deliveries and collections as early as 5.30am and left their engines running. So take it that there is not a quiet room in the hotel. As we were on a dinner package the menu was very limited, but I guess you get what you pay for. Food could have been hotter at times. The piped music in the restaurant, bar and lobby was loud at times, extremely repetitive and most annoying. Marisa and Thomas( restaurant staff) were very helpful and friendly.

Very Friendly staff, lovely rooms, lovely hotel all round. Nice location too, just 10 minute walk from the town centre
My partner and I are just back from a 2 night stay at the Riverside. The Hotel was clean, comfortable and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was lovely, other than that we didn't dine in the hotel so I can't offer an opinion on the restaurant. It was good value for money.
We stayed in the Riverside Hotel last weekend and it was very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very nice as well. The only thing would have to say is it would be nice if there was some entertainment in the evenings in the hotel. We would not have to got out to other establishments for music. On that note all I will say is we will be back for another Llidl break it is well worth it. five star rating.
The Riverside Hotel was gorgeous, the staff were extremely helpful and very nice. Our room was very nice and comfortable. I would definitely do Lidl breaks again with Riverside.
Having just returned from a Saturday night stay at thr Riverside Hotel Killarney we have been once more completely satisfied by this fabulous hotel which never fails to deliver. Firstly Rosa on reception was extremely helpful, our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Most importantly the breakfast on Sunday morning was cooked to perfection. The genuine friendliness of all the staff here is something that other hotels should consider copying. This was our third overnight in Killarney this year and again for value, friendliness, proximity to the town and comfort I would not look beyond the Riverside. Thanks again to all the staff and ope to see you all shortly. The O' Connells (Room 306).
just back from 2 great nights in Riverside Hotel.Staff really helpful and friendly.Food excellent.Would definatly recommend this hotel.
Myself and my husband are just back from a great stay in the Riverside Hotel Killarney. We really enjoyed our stay the hotel is nice and relaxing the staff were very friendly and we had a really nice meal in the restaurant. When we were checking in I just said in passing that it was our wedding anniversary, when we returned to our room in the evening the hotel had left sweets and a card for us I thought this was so kind and really appreciated it. Would definately recommend this hotel to couples if your looking for a nice quiet break away.
Or stay was lovely and the hotel is in a perfect lcation, friendly staff and comfortable and spcaious rooms that were very clean. I was very impressed with the breakfast selection, however was not impressed with the meal we received as part of the package. Although the choice of dishes was good; the standard of these was not what I would have expected from thier 5 Star restaurant; my salmon maion seemed to have been re-heated, was tough and the pastry was soggy. Overall, despite my disappointment with the main meal, I enjoyed my stay.
very nice hotel, friendly staff and good food.great if you going to INEC as just a short stroll from there,however a longer walk into Killarney town center.
Hotel was really nice. We were very impressed with the staff and the rooms. The dinner was very poor. We only have three main course options. At our table we had salmon and pork, both were presented the same.
We can't wait to go back again. The perfect Hotel in the perfect location. Thank you to all the wonderful staff there, we had a ball.
We were warmly welcomed, and found that the reception staff were very knowledgeable about the area and very happy to advise our activities. Dinner was good, the staff took care of our special non dairy requirements. our room good
We had a lovely stay here for 2 days. The room was lovely, the staff were very helpful & professional, and the breakfasts were huge !
Comfortable. Soft tasteful decor. Very friendly staff. Catering was very good, we were impressed. I would definitely recommend staying here, and I hope to stay there again sometime.
Had a very relaxing break at the hotel. Friendly,informative staff. Clean,bright room. Well located. Will definately return,and would have no problem recommending it. Kathy,Cork
we had a fantastic stay at the Riverside Hotel, staff were exceptional and the room and food were excellent Maria Foley
We had a lovely stay at this hotel,The lobby area is a fab area to sit and watch the world go by! The bedroom was lovely nice and clean and the bathroom was nice and bright with a nice big mirror and also and shaving mirror which was great. We also had a lovely big bed with crisp white bedlinen. We travelled with my boyfriends parents who are regulars here and they were greeted like old friends coming to stay for the weekend. great hotel and great value.
Stayed here for one night with my husband. Absolutely beautiful hotel. Immaculately clean throughout. Very friendly staff. We choose to eat in the bar rather than the restaurant as we had time restraints (we had the meal deal with Lidl). We were served by Christy and the food was superb, could not fault it. Breakfast was excellent, great choice from cold buffett. Hot food order was taken by waitress, good choice in any combination you fancy. Would definetly recommend this hotel. Hope to return in near future. Great deal with lidl.
This was our second time to stay at the riverside hotel in three years and it was as enjoyable as the first time.The hotel is spotless and the food delicious.The staff are very friendly and obliging. Thanks for a lovely weekend. Trish & Mick
Nice Location, within walking distance of town. As a couple staying in the hotel on a lidl break we were looking for something close to town. Was disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. The bed covers were dirty, whilst the hotel changed it once notified, we felt that this was disappointing. We were also disappointed to find 2 of the towels in the bathroom were not clean. Overall the hotel was satisfactory but we would not stay there again and would not recommend to friends.
Nicest Hotel I've been in for a while, great staff too. Did us a nice favor when we stayed.
Having just returned from a stay in The Riverside Hotel,Killarney,I cannot praise the hotel and staff highly enough.The hotel is ideally located for exploring Killarney,attending events in the INEC and exploring Kerry.The hotel is warm,welcoming and spotlessly clean.The food is excellent-great choice for breakfast and evening meal,although there is a limited menu for those on lidl breaks.This was my first time to book a lidl break and I found it excellent value for money.I have stayed in this hotel many times before and keep returning because the staff are second to none-friendly,efficient and very helpful with great local knowledge.Definitely worth a visit!
From the moment we arrived to the welcoming fire inthe lobbytherroom was clean bright and airy the staff were courteous and helpful,the food was lovely all in all it was a very pleasant place to stay,i will recommend it to my friends and would stay again myself.
we enjoyed our stay.lovely hotel...we stay in riverside hotel all the time we visit killarney. kind regards michael murphy
The hotel was very pleasent though its lobby and public areas were far grander than the room we were in. The staff were friendly and help full. The service in the restaurant was quick and the food good. WiFi was not great in the rooms.
Excellent break, great value for money.
dont think this hotel is up to 4 star,bedroom furniture is outdated also carpets in same are a bit grubby.I would have no hesitation in saying that breakfast was really fabulous
The hotel itself is nice & clean. Staff were friendly & helpful. I was however very disappointed with the food. Breakfast was tasteless, and the dinner was just ok - it was like something I would have cooked at home. I was expecting a bit more for my money. Was in shock when the bill came - especially when they charged us for the pint that the waitress spilled all over the table (and never replaced!). This hotel is definitely not the 5 mins walk from the center that was claimed on the website - it is more like 15-20mins. Disappointing overall. Rooms are clean but the heat at night is sweltering! The pillows were very hard but the bed was comfy. One thing I will say for the area - people are so friendly and I would recommend Murphy's pub in the town for food - absolutely delicious and better value for money!
We enjoyed our weekend in the Riverside Hotel, and was our second time staying here. The location is not right in the town centre, but perfect for drives out to Kenmare, a great base. The room was great, the staff were fantastic and all very friendly. We were disappointed with the quality of the food, this being one of the main reasons we returned. However we spoke to the manager and there is a new head chef starting the 15th March, and she's meant to be inventive and food of a very high standard... which means we'll have to return to test it out!!
Great value for money. Excellent service and friendly reception staff. Only ten minutes walk to town. The bedrooms were cosy and warm. I would certainly recommend this hotel A++++++++ Marti
Great Hotel , staff were very helpfull. Good location within walking distance of Kilarney town centre . Rooms very spacious and clean. Overall a very enjoyable stay .Five star rating
I would have to say straight away upon entering the hotel it was clear to me how friendly and warm the staff made you feel. The two receptionists in particular were so helpful on so many occasions i couldn't praise them highly enough. Reception area and lobby of the hotel was immaculate. Rooms very very comfortable the only downfall i had was how warm the rooms were, could hardly breathe at night that's how warm they were. Also a big shout out to the girls in the restaurant top class and the meals were absolutely gorgeous from breakfast to dinner. The only down point was the bar absolutely no atmosphere and wouldn't encourage to have a drink there. Also the fact that you couldn't get sky sports was a major downer for me. All and all though fantastic hotel staff absolutely brilliant couldn't recommend it highly enough, especially for couples.
A very well presented and friendly hotel. Upon entering there is an immediate sense of comfort and hospitality, with a cosey lounge lit and warmed by a real fire, many soft couches and a chess board. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are very well prepared and unlike many other hotels, the beds are extremely comfortable! Bathrooms are spacious with a lot of worktop space, bath/shower and a special makeup mirror. There is plenty of space in the rooms; wardrobe, drawers etc,. The view can be disappointing depending on which room you are located in (I personally had the view of stones and motors). Dinner and Breakfast in the Riverside will not disappoint, with an appetizing buffet breakfast including full Irish breakfast, and a filling dinner and dessert. The hotel is located more than a 5 minute walk from the town center, on average a 10-15 minute walk with baggage. However, it is ideally located and while walking toward the town, you can easily access the Ross Road and Killarney National Park. Overall an amazing place to stay and I will without a doubt be returning!
We stayed at the Riverside Hotel In Killarney for a one night, dinner B&B to celebrate Valentines Day and our 22nd wedding anniversary. Our first impressions were good , lovely modern and bright reception area but with an open fire so it looked cosy and welcoming too. Reception staff were friendly and polite.My husband requested a quiet room as we are both quite noise intolerant and they gave us a room to the rear of the hotel but sadly it was right next to some sort of generator or fan which went on and off very 20 minutes or so. We didn't think it was too bad until we tried to get some sleep but it was impossible to sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. Also I found the decor in the room quite strange as it was a medium sized room but had a huge black free standing wardrobe and dresser, very gothic looking but hard to use the dresser as the drawers were quite a bit stuck. Not what I would expect from a 4 star. I must say it was all spotlessly clean. Aside from that the bar and restuarant staff were all lovely and the food was excellant. All in all we enjoyed the evening but not the night and I felt that we had been put into an inferior room. My star rating is based on the room we stayed in not the rest of the hotel.
Fabulous hotel, great food, great staff, rooms lovely, would highly recommend this hotel, 5 star
Great hotel, every part of it was spotless stayed their last year as well, breakfeast was a bit small but i'd say its because we got a great deal B&B €29:50 a night 9/10. LK
We had a nice stay at the Riverside hotel, the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The dinner was very good as was the breakfast. The room was nice, but maybe a bit dated, they should have flat screens TV's. The room was aslo a bit on the small but clean. I would say its more of a three than a four star, but would stay there again.
Just stayed in this hotel last weekend,the staff were very nice and hotel rooms very clean. Nice breakfast too. Good value.
fantastic hotel staff went out of their way to help us.six friends had a lovely stay. my fourth time staying here . will definitely be back again. p s so will all my friends.thank you to all the lovely staff
Just back from a one night stay (5th Nov 2011) in the Riverside Hotel, 5 ladies had a lovely stay, rooms were very nice/staff were very helpful, really good value, well done to all at the hotel and thank you Lidl. Will definitely stay here again if I was to make one grumble it was that the choice on menu was very limited and the fried breakfast was a little on the mean side - overall very good value and a very pleasant stay!!
From the moment we arived at the Riverside we were made to fel very welcome, friendly staff in a clean, modern hotel. We'd have no hesitation in recommend this Hotel at any time of year and we will be going back again soon ! :) Thanks to all, Joe & Val.
staff v good. food mediocre. bed not 2 comfy. shower trickey. wine measures v.small, could have got bottle in shop 4 half glass in bar. poor value. hairdryer shut offafter 1 minute!!!!
Fantastic Hotel! We got a brilliant deal & couldn't say enough about the hotel. The staff were so friendly, down to earth but totally professional & nothing was too much trouble. Quite often, I feel, when I've managed to book such a good value deal, I feel that i'm not given quite the same service as guests who may have paid the going rate, not so with the Riverside. Everything was fantastic, lovely rooms, fabulous, well trained, professional friendly staff, amazing food, breakfast was one of the best I've had anywhere. Absolutly would recommend this hotel - really well worth a visit.
Hi, We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, but found the room dull with dark curtains and walls. We were unimpressed with cooked breakfast...We were constantly reminded we were on a Lidl break and had to pay extra for puddings...only one of everything else on the plate...I ordered scrambelled egg and bacon, only one piece of bacon...second morning there were four of us and we were told as soon as we arrived down again, that one couple were on Lidl break, but breakfast included pudding for all...We went on same break to Dublin since and got very generous breakfast!!!!
Really enjoyed our stay hotel was very nice.
value from lidl breaks was very good, was a bit dissapointed at the positioning of the room we got looking at the car park and when we inquiried about staying a third night as our plans had changed, were quoted a very high price for the extra night.overall a nice stay in killarney
My stay at the Riverside Hotel was great. The room was beautiful and the service was fantastic. The food was very good and would definitely recommend the hotel restaurant. The only thing I would drop marks for was that we expected the hotel to be within walking distance of Killarney based on information supplied on both the lidl breaks website and the hotels own website but unfortunately it was a short drive away. Would not have been a problem if we had just known in advance.
Very friendly and helpful staff, but standards of service need to be improved as most of the restaurant staff seem to have had little or no formal training and it took an age to be served. Room we were allocated reeked of stale tobacco but we were moved to an alternative room without question when we requested it. Standard of food was average. Have stayed in much better standard hotels with Lidl breaks and have to admit this one was a disappointment.
We stayed for three nights and it was fantastic value for money. The staff and service was top class. The room and hotel was spotless and the food was great. We stayed before and we will stay again. RIVERSIDE HOTEL WELL DONE :) LIDL, THANK YOU
We spent just one night in Riverside Hotel with Lidl Breaks but it was a very pleasant stay. Very nice room and food was great. Excellent value for money.
We will return again to the Riverside Hotel. Well done Lidl for the great value for money. At %u20AC70 per head for 2 night bed and breakfast its unbeatable.
From the time of arrival to departure everything about the hotel was excellent. The staff were extremely polite and helpful at all times. Breakfast was very good and again service was great. We ate in the Bistro and the food and service were wonderful. We will return to the Riverside Hotel
The hotel was pleasant and overall I enjoyed my stay. However the staff at reception at both check-in and check-out were less than compitent. I had to argue about the price on check-in and then at check-out I again had to argue with the receptionist who was insisting that the deposit I had paid was a booking fee and not a deposit. Also there was no fresh fruit at breakfast and the evening menu was exactly the same on both evenings with just three choices. I would rate the hotel as a two star at most. I was clean and pleasant otherwise with a nice lobby area and plenty of comfortable seats.
i sent you too reviews about the hotel they ware bad reviews is that why i heard nothing back from you
We realy enjoyed our stay in the riverside hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was very good and the only bad thing was we did'nt have more time there.
stayed 1 ad 2nd april bed and breakfast.good value through lidl breaks,ideal central location ..good staff and plenty of everything for breakfast.bar was quiet as expected,rooms were nice.all round good value for money
i was disappointed with the hotel we could get no sleep with the sound of a generator or something like it making noise all night i was going to ask to be changed to a other room at 4am it was that bad i left a letter of complaint to the manager but got no reply we stayed in room 309 would not stay there again it ruined my night away for mothers day
i was very disappointed with the hotel we could not get ant sleep with the noise of a generator or something like it on all night i was going to ring down a 4am and ask to change rooms i left a letter of complaint for the manager but heard nothing back from them i would not stay at that hotel again we stayed in room 309
Stayed here on 4th March for one night. The staff were really pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious, with nice decor but there was a stuffy smokey odour when we first arrived. The dinner was very basic 5 out of 10. Breakfast was good with lots to choose from. Very convenient location within walking distance of town and INEC. Great value for money and would stay here again. I agree with JG shower curtain needs replacing as it clings to you.
Stayed here the 4th and 5th of March. Staff could not of being more friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Bar lacks atmosphere. Free Wi-Fi in room was brilliant. Rooms could do with minor revamp and definitely needs extractor fan in bathroom and shower curtain needs moving as it clings to you. Lidl Breaks are great value for money. Would recommend and stay here again.
Really enjoyed our stay. Staff very very good.i must say. Keep up the good work. Denis Ryan
We had a fabulous stay at the Riverside Hotel. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, as was en-suite. We booked the B&B + Dinner, the dinner was amazing, would have been happy to pay full whack for it! Breakfast was also lovely. It was such great value, I kept thinking I must have got the price wrong! Will definitely use Lidl breaks again!
Very nice hotel. Extra nights had a room rate of Euros 39 and bed and breakfast for Euros 49 (for two people) which was a very good deal. We stayed several more nights. the rate went up to Euros 99 on friday and saturday nights The dinner left a bit to be desired in that the lamb was very overcooked and had obviously been reheated and covered in gravy. Breakfast was good value
Excellent value for money. The hotel is comfortable and the staff were extremely nice and friendly, The food was lovely. Well situated being only a ten minute pleasant walk to the town of Killarney. Lovely relaxing area by reception where you could chat and have a drink or coffee. Enjoy our stay. 5 stars no bother
We stayed here in feb 11' and we thought overall it was a lovely hotel the only disappointment was that the bar didnt open for lunch this time of the year, i presume only because business is quite everywhere tough. The receptionist was very helpful to advise on a nice place to eat at reasonable rates and also to help us decide on a few bars in the town to head to
excellent hotel! loved the room and the breakfast, have already booked to stay again!!
lovely hotel, very nice staff, a little disappointed with the dinner, choice was limited and I notice you have a different menu when on lidl break to other people in the restaurant. Had the lamb it was nice but there were six of us and for all of us it was quiet "fatty". The hotel did not have a record of our booking as had not received email, we were lucky as hotel was booked out but they had got a cancellation. maura
I realy enjoyed my stay the food was excellent, staff very friendly and courtious . The hotel was very clean and the room was beautifully deccorated. The only downside the noise from the vent in the room in the morning. Other than than it was great value for money.
Our stay was just for one night, we found the Hotel very clean and cosy and the staff were very friendly, we had a meal included in our package and the food was very nice, great value for money. Liam, Tipperary.
Enjoyed my stay in the Riverside. Rooms are nice, food was good. Great deal!
lovely hotel staf were very nice food was exellant will use lidl breaks again
Very good value for money,staff friendly and food good.
We enjoyed our short stay at the Riverside Hotel.The bedrooms we beautiful and the staff were warm and friendly.It was our third time stating at this hotel and we would definitely stay there again.
We stayed one night and were made feel very welcome upon arrival. We dined there and the food was lovely and the waiting staff very nice. Rooms are clean have everything you need however some of the furniture needs to be replaced of repaired small things that matter when your using it as home for a short time Good value for money. We hope to return. Rose
Nice hotel, Great breakfast, poor dinner, and missing those few things which make a 4 star hotel. No leisure facilities obviously, but the room falls short. Poor wardrobe space, no shelving, no fridge, no air con, no ethernet connection ( only pay wireless), shower curtain, and this mounted only 2 feet from the wall so it clings to you when using the shower. Bath is a glorified shower tray, only 12 inches deep to the overflow, impossible to have a soak as the water will not go past your hips unless you are a stick insect. The furniture is quaint and funereal looking, probably was expensive but does not integrate well. A domestic or B and B feel about the room in general. The big letdown was the food. Meals were included, the inclusive menu was taken from the a la carte, usually a good thing. Not so. All the food served was portion pack, spring rolls, brie, though they were OK, mains were indifferent and tasteless, definitely not freshly made to order. The veg was all frozen, green beans, carrots peas, served with a big dollop of mash. I would have been very upset if I had paid a la carte prices for canteen food. Very ordinary three star, but could be fixed easily. On the plus side, breakfast was cooked to order, a rarity these days, and was delicious. Staff were very nice.
Good value for money, but disappointed with room, the television was not working and neither was the radio, there was no fan in the bathroom. The staff did try and fix the t.v but had no success and as the hotel was full they could not replace it. Dinner was enjoyable but waited for 40 minutes for first course plus there was lipstick over my husbands water glass. These were only little things and we had a fantastic weekend in Killarney but would not stay in hotel again
Hotel was great and within easy access to Killarney by foot or taxi. Staff very friendly and effiecient. Rooms were warm and cosy as it was bitterly cold outside. Would recommend this hotel for a break away . Great value for money and we're thinking of heading down that way again. Girls Weekend.
Our stay in th Riverside Hotel was fantastic value. Thank you Lidl for offering it! The staff were very welcoming and friendly, especially some of those in the restaurant. I suppose the only gripe I would have with the hotel was the absence of a leisure centre, I'd lave loved an swim first thing in the mornings! The location was perfect, close to the town of Killarney and Muckross for walking. Regards, Anthony O'Connell.
Great value for your money.
Brilliant - great value, no hassle. Lovely breakfast.
I think the LIDL breaks are terrific value for money - could fault the price and value for money. Hotel itself was lovely and welcoming - reception area very inviting to sit and read and sip a nice cool drink from the bar. Rooms very comfortable and staff very courteous and 'customer focused' I would definitely pay a return visit. If I was to have any criticism, it would be the slight shabbiness of certain parts of room (windows) and bathroom but then any hotel of its age,unless it has been refurbished is going to have an element of this!
Our stay eas very pleasant staff were lovely cudnt be nicer were very helpful food was lovely bedrooms were very cosy felt real homely I would definetly go back again and would recommend it to friends
Great hotel - lovely massage - dinner menu and food was great - excellent breakfast - friendly staff - definiely recommend it
really enjoyed my stay,very clean and effecient and friendly.it was a pity their was'nt music one night as we could have stayed in hotel then and not gone elsewhere. Thanking you, Mary.
We stayed for 2 nights at this lovely hotel. The service was friendly and helpful. We had dinner one night and the food was gorgeous. The value for money was excellent with the Lidl breaks. The only down side was it was a 10-15 minute walk away from everything.
Enjoyed stay at Riverside Hotel Killarney. Enjoyed our stay. Only down side Pillows rock hard, and long time since I slept in such a squekey bed. Couple Listowel.
Myself and my wife really enjoyed our stay at the Riverside Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially the breakfast room staff. The food was very good. The room was excelent in relation to the size, the bed and bathroom as well as the furniture. The only negative was the location of the windows (we were in room 222) but it seemed to be the same for most of the rooms, when you opened the curtains you could be seen from the other rooms and visa versa...
Just completed a very enjoyable stay at the Riverside Hotel in Killarney...staff extreemly friendly...food lovely...lots to do and see in Killarney, would highly recommend hotel and town.
My Husband and I have just returned from The Riverside Hotel in Killarney, Sept 10th. I thought the Facilities, service Food and Staff were all excellent. I would definately give this Hotel a Five Star. The Food in particular is really tasty and good value for money. The Chef is excellent, I have been to many Hotels in this and other countries and I would rate the food staff and service among the best I have experienced. The Lidl deal with this Hotel was great value for money, keep it up it is great. I will definately return to this Hotel and recommend it to everyone. Marion Duffy, Bray.

My mother and I have had the great pleasure of stayingon two ocassion so far in the Riverside Hotel on a LIdl break, we had a lovely time a fabulous room and the evening meal was divine. As for value there is nothing to compare, I intend to return to the Hotel again and again as location is excellent and staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful, Jean
We had a great time staying at The Riverside Hotel recently. Staff were helpful and friendly--and room was clean and comfortable. We got a fantastic deal with Lidl Breaks---hope to do so in the future again!
I stayed at the Riverside for a one night break. Hotel was very comfortable and conveniently located. Dinner and breakfast were both very good and the Lidl deal offered excellent value for money.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Riverside Hotel. Food was excellent and staff were lovely and very efficient. Room was very confortable. Just a short walk to town and horse races. We definitely will be staying at the Riverside again! Lovely Leitrim!
Excellent hotel. My second Lidl break in the same hotel - service first class - food great - room large and airy will go again
we stayed just 1 night and the rooms were sumptuous .we both enjoyed a good night's rest in acomfy bed.we enjoyed our dinner there although the menu was'nt extensive nor the portions extravagant.woul definitely stay there again
We stayed (6 of us) for a night in the Riverside Hotel and I have to say it was very comfortable and clean. We were after a very exhausting weekend and decided to stop off in this hotel for a relaxing night and that is exactly what we got. The reception area was bright, airy and spacious with its couches all over for one to sit and chill, and we did, after a lovely meal in the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful and after a few bevy's we retired to bed. The room had all you required , was spotless and the bed was the most comfortable bed Iv slept in for a long time. Would definetely recommend this hotel for anyone going to Killarney for a break.
Having been in The Riverside Hotel previously, again I wasn't disappointed. Spotlessly clean, modern decor, good food, very relaxed there while being within walking distance of both the town and National Park. Highly recommended.
lovely hotel will most definetly stay there again
we have stayed in many hotels in killarney, kerry and up west of ireland , for value ,service,attention to detail we would go back again ,and again . wehave recomended this hotel to our family and friends, we will go back there and stay, we requested a smoking room and we got it , that was a big plus for us and we come from a big famely and huge cercle of friends thay know about the river side hotel, cant praise it enough regards eileen kevin kelleher
Hi Had lovely time in Riverside Hotel in killarney, Hotel spotless,staff very nice,only sorry we did'nt see those breaks sooner Mai Sheedy / Eileen Walsh, Thank you very much, hope you will keep them going
I found the Riverview hotel excellent and also the food in the restaurant was very good. The only drawback for me was the fact that there was no air-conditioning in the rooms. Otherwise I would reccoment this hotel to anyone.
