“Riverside Hotel, Kendal”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

We stayed at the Riverside Hotel 7 & 8 May 2013 room 307. Check in was efficient. This was a clean well presented family room overlooking the river, with a decent size TV.

“Pleasant one night stay”

Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

Last minute stop over during May Day bank holiday Sunday night, bargain price £77 for me and my wife incl breakfast, let us use the car park way before we checked in. When we checked in it was speedy and no nonsense, room was good size and clean. TV was large , although short of a lot of free view... More

Thanks for visiting us on a last minute break and for this 5-star review! I am very happy you enjoyed your stay. A word on the Freeview channels; ever since the digital switch-over, we have been hoping against hope that every time we re-tune we will pick up the few channels we have lost. Thus far, we have not fared... More

We are a family of four with two small children aged 4 and 18 months. Due to work we were late arriving on a Saturday night. Check in was smooth and the receptionist was so helpful. The room could not have been better placed, literally feet from the bar so that with the use of baby monitors we enjoyed an... More

“Don't believe the naysayers; this place is fantastic!”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

I pitched up right outside, on a motorcycle. This isn't usually a recipe for instantly great service, it's surprising today how motorcyclists are viewed, even when it's obvious I'm travelling on company business. Anyway, the lady on reception couldn't have been more helpful & understanding if I'd arrived in a Roller or a Ferrari. Fantastic service. The room I had... More

We really enjoyed reading your review. Thanks for posting it and for visiting. You are quite right about our rooms, all of them overlook the River Kent and are most comfortable after a day of meetings, or doing the tourist thing! I'm glad you enjoyed your breakfast and beer selection, not necessarily at the same time! Hopefully we'll see you... More

“Nice hotel and restaurant but not so great rooms”

Reviewed 30 April 2013 via mobile

Stayed with my husband for my birthday in January. Lovely location on the riverside, even saw a little otter having a swim in the river from our room! Rooms are a little dark and dingy but clean and comfy beds too. Good facilities, we used the steam room, pool and jacuzzi and the changing rooms were clean and the shower... More

Nice review thank you. We are pleased you chose to celebrate your birthday with us too. The otter is a frequent passer-by and we always enjoy when he/she visits. Thanks for mentioning how you enjoyed your dining experience with us as well; that will bring a smile to the chef's face! We hope you'll come up and see us again. More
