Kitchen was not fully equipped with essential equipment and had to ask for items to be added. No hot water in the bathroom sinks was very unexpected and inconvenient and the shower water temp was very awkward to adjust. It is not clear from the hotel description and pictures that the two bedroom unit is not in the main hotel, only accessible by a flight of steep stairs and the internal layout does not include a lounge.

Perfect location for our needs Super helpful staff Restaurant on site Spacious rooms each with an en suite

From the airport to the hotel was almost narrow mountain road, an hour drive.

It was like the inside of the forest though the location was not far at all from the downtown center. And the room was good with balcony and water streaming sound from the creek. Overall it was a good healing place.

Although they organised a taxi to meet us at the airport it didn't come. Luckily another driver was able to bring us. They told us the car hire should accept credit cards so when cash was needed this caused a problem for us . We should have brought more us dollars cash. In the room we had a large sofa but very low, so not so comfortable for us. Also the info had suggested a garden but there is no garden at all.

Nice little balcony overlooking river. Two comfortable beds. Lots of choice for evening meals, loved the Chinese and Thai choices. Friendly staff. They organised car hire for us.

We particularly loved the layout of the rooms and the amenities such as the fridge, stove etc. The room was in pristine condition and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. We had an issue with the room that they quickly got sorted out.

The shower room would benefit from a couple of hooks to hang towels etc.

We had a great holiday in Dominica, partly due to our accommodation at Riverside Hotel. It’s a very peaceful place to stay, alongside a small, fast-flowing river. This attracts lots of tropical birds and butterflies to the vegetation at the side of it. Others have stated that it brings mosquitos. We stayed at the hotel for a week in May, had the windows open during the day, but did not get any sort of insect bites. There isn’t a pool, but a long sandy beach is just five minutes’ walk away. The suites are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage space for clothes etc. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, suggesting places to visit, eat, etc. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel most of the time. The menu is very varied and the prices very reasonable, and the helpings very generous. I can certainly recommend the Riverside Hotel.

Needs an elevator :))

Staff, food, location

Stayed in March 2023

it needs some maintenance outside and due to the river there are plenty of mosquitos. but as long as you are of it you can prepare and it shouldn’t be a problem.

the rooms are spacious, clean, fully equipped. great internet speed, tv with access to multiple streaming platforms for a night in. the restaurant downstairs is a bit expensive, but great food. breakfast is complete and varied

The kitchen has very limited supplies so cooking a full meal might be a challenge. It would be nice to have a few chairs on the balcony to sit out and enjoy the river and scenery. The motel does not appear to be locally owned by Dominicans.

A one bedroom unit in a four story motel located next to a river and about a 10 minute walk to the ocean. This motel has an on site restaurant and about 6-10 parking spaces out front. Located off the main road this is a quiet place to stay near Portsmouth. They have daily maid service also.

Photos are to good and therefore you have certain expectations which are not met in the end. We booked a Sea view Suite. By the size of it this shouldn't be called a Suite but one bedroom apartment. It is a bit small but the room and living room are new. Bathroom needs renovation. Our apartment had the view to the river and trees, just a bit of sea was visible on the side and in the distance. Therefore sea view in description was incorrect as we had only a partial sea side apartment.

Sounds of the river near the hotel were so relaxing. Ladies working at the front desk were very nice and kind. We mostly communicated with Jennel and she was so helpful.

This is a great hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. My apartment was lovely and suitably equipped, with one balcony overlooking the river and a larger one on the other side. Very quiet location and not far to the nearest beach. The restaurant downstairs does good food although I think that the breakfast was slightly overpriced at US$10 for what you got, but for evening meals the prices were comparable to elsewhere.

We didn’t realize when booking there was no elevator. my mother has some mobility challenges so this wasn’t ideal. However, the staff were very accommodating; they carried our luggage up and down the stairs and brought room service. The lack of an elevator wasn’t a big deal.

The hotel is well furnished, with responsive staff, a good restaurant on property, and walkable to a few good restaurants.

I wouldn’t say I had anything which I didn’t like. But room for improvement would be to have a drainer for the dishes in the kitchen. Also a full length mirror in the apartment would be good. But those are just small things.

Our room was directly beside a gushing river and it was beautiful. You can see all of the birds wildlife there. Truly amazing. Plus the sound of the river was absolutely soothing and peaceful, especially at night. The river meets with the sea about 5 minutes walk from the hotel, which is quite nice to see. Small supermarkets, shops and eateries are about 10-15 minutes walk down the main road from the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff from those who took care of housekeeping, security, restaurant and reception team. The owner and his wife were also extremely helpful and efficient when we had queries and needed help. If there was an issue it was dealt with immediately, which was really good. Dominica is beautiful and I look forward to visiting again.

A lot of mosquitoes. However, given the location right next to the river, it was to be expected.

Spacious and clean apartment, good breakfast.

Stayed in July 2022

A drying rack or more hooks in the room would be very helpful for towels and bathing suits.

Super nice staff, very spacious apartment with a living room. Excellent breakfast. They even made us some egg sandwiches for a day we took a tour. The location is not super central, but we didn‘t mind since we always took a cab or the bus to the beach where you can also find some nice restaurants (Madiba, Purple Turtle). It‘s also close to the Indian River.

Breakfast time limited. Quality and quantity of food excellent. The owner and staff were lovely. We were given free fruit and cake for first breakfast. Owner of hotel also gave us a lift to local shops to show us where to buy required food and drinks. Gave us free evening meal on the last night .
