“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.”

River View Delight
calming scenery friendly staff central location gluten-free alternatives
My room featured a river view and a small balcony, perfect for enjoying the scenery. There was also a nice coffee shop with outdoor seating overlooking the river. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Gillian always made sure I had everything I needed. The location was central. Parking was available nearby. Breakfast service had many options, including gluten-free alternatives!
I found the bedroom a bit cold during the night, and there was no extra blanket available in the wardrobe.
