Hotel Riverside

Uddevalla

We stayed at Hotel Riverside for 5 nights bed and breakfast to see the beautiful region of Bohuslän. Everything was very good, from the night check-in, easy parking, room facilities with a mini kitchen, cleanliness to the balanced breakfast buffet and a friendly staff. The hotel appears to be a little old school on the outside but is completely well maintained on the inside and met our needs. The staff does a good job, the hotel is excellent for reaching beaches and attractions in Uddevalla, Smögen, Kungshamn, Hunneboschstrand, Ramsvik, Fjällbacka, Grebbestad. And the pleasant senior staff in Annerbacka is not far away.

Good starting point to explore Bohuslän

The hotel has an excellent strategic location: easy to reach by car, large parking space (also for mobile phones), city centre and museum within walking distance, the port (for those like me who come to work) is 2 minutes' drive away.

Good and cheap

This is not a hotel but a few rooms in an office block that does not deserve to be included In Uddevalla hotels. The rooms are basic and the bathrooms appalling. Shower cubicles that are broken but more importantly seriously covered in mould on the walls and around the base of the cubicles. The showers in the three rooms that we had were all the same and superficial cleaning is all that takes place. Towels were replaced each day but were so thin that they did not dry correctly. Breakfast area was two small rooms with a buffet which was acceptable although when three or more  persons attempted to serve themselves, it became overcrowded. Check out was a joke and we were unable to obtain an invoice which was emailed later.
Definitely not to be recommended even for one night .

Cannot find anything good to say!

On arrival, Doors are absolutely filthy - does it take much to give them an occasional wash?
Understaffed is an understatement - reception not really manned and after 8pm turns into the Marie Celeste. No Hotel Bar or well, anything, really.
Rooms are basic and need updating. No kettle, tea or coffee provided in rooms. 

The positives? It is well-located for town centre as only a 5 min walk away, and the Breakfast is actually ok but oddly tucked away on 4th floor.

The weird bit, is that lots of rooms appear to have been rented out to businesses. And that appears to be the main interest for the owners.

Look elsewhere...

Besides a very friendly receptionist, this is a very basic place, old fashioned, nothing looks appealing. A somewhat messy place, as some companies are located in the same building. OK if you are here for business or if you don't want to stay in the room more than absolutely necessary. Well, I would not spend vacation days in Uddevalla anyway... 

Very basic in all senses

Not sure if this is a hotel or not. Seemed as lots of the rooms are permanently occupied as offices for smaller companies, most of them with signs on the door. So it felt as living in an office building rather than a hotel. Guess the business idea is good enough though, but would recommend to put the office rental rooms in separate floors.

On arrival the reception was empty. I rang the bell several times and after 5 mins someone came running and I managed to check in and get my key. On departure noone appeared. Luckily I payed for the stay during arrival though so I just left the key with a note.

The rooms were old but ok. Got a feeling that maintenance was not their highest priority though. El cables coming out of the wall, most likely it has been connected to something once upon a time which no longer is there. The shower cabinet was hardly assembled. When I turned on the water in the sink I had to bang it with my hand to turn it off, was impossible to do it in a gentle way.

Breakfast was ok though. Not many seats so you should get their early. But the food was good with an ok variety to choose from.

Location is very good, within walking distance from city center.

If you only need a bed to sleep in for ok price, this is an ok choice. If you want a hotel experience, I would strongly recommend to consider another hotel.

Been there, done that. Don't think I will come back.

Budget hotel for sure

We stayed in this hotel x 2 nights as a support point x the visit to the southwest coast of Sweden. we are not there... the hotel if by day it is inhabited by people who work in the companies with offices inside the hotel itself. at night it is deserted. the reception closes at 9:30/22. the rooms for how spacious they remained in the 70s. the beds are very uncomfortable and the bathroom is also dated. no comment on breakfast... for me an experience to forget. p.s. the hotel parking is paid!

We're not here.

The hotel is conveniently located close to supermarkets and the city center. It has plenty of parking space and in the afternoon they have sandwich services in the restaurant. The breakfast is very complete. For the prices that are in the country it is quite good, right. It is like a kind of business center, so not all rooms, there are also offices. The parking at the entrance is paid, paid at the reception upon arrival. In the morning a parking controller checks that you have paid. When we left there was no one to check out.

 Correct.

The location is right outside the center of Uddevalla.
Very friendly receptionist.
Good breakfast, but small and crowded breakfast room.
Room size ok, but my bed was broken.
Very quiet hotel.
Free wi fi.
Good price.
Parking on site for a small fee.

Good  price for overnight stay

Overall I found myself fine apart from the really uncomfortable bed.... for the rest good the breakfast service is really great the fact that from Monday to Thursday there is a buffet for dinner included in the price, I'd go back there (hopefully to find a different mattress!! 😅)
