“Riverside Hotel strikes me as a practical choice in Sligo, placing you steps from the Abbey and the town's dining scene, while offering a riverside vista I appreciate; the in-house pub and breakfast are definite pluses after a day exploring Yeats country. The rooms are clearly cared for, and I noticed the recent bathroom upgrades. If you're focused on Sligo town itself, this hotel makes good sense.”
