Riverside Lodge Hotel, Irvine

Stayed 29th August 2022

On the positive side the food was good, the reception area is lovely and there is plenty of parking spaces. Unfortunately that is where the good review stops. The bedrooms are tired and grubby. The furniture is well worn and chairs were torn. The bath and shower curtain was dirty. Housekeeping services did our room but didn’t leave hand towels. When I asked the girl she said they were waiting on a delivery of hand towels and they would be delivered to our room. I am still waiting. For some strange reason our extractor fan in the bathroom went on at full blast a 7am then worked intermittently when we needed it on.

Absolutely loved it. We upgraded to a garden room, well worth it. A drink on the terrace followed by a lovely evening meal. Great choice of cooked breakfast or continental. Pleasant staff. Beautiful surroundings. Can't fault it and cannot wait to return.

Overall the experience was good. I had booked 4 rooms, 4 older couples. We were having a night away to celebrate a 50 th wedding anniversary. I asked if the rooms were all the same and was advised they were, but were slightly different with 2 having bigger beds. However the rooms were all clean. The shower in our room did not work, we did not find this out until morning when it was too late to get fixed. At dinner we were seated at table for 8 and were advised that due to short staffing there would be a delay. Food was very good apart from one fish and chips which had obviously been kept warm for some time. Breakfast was excellent. Despite the few glitches this was a good hotel and recommended

Not a hotel I would look to go back to again. Severe lack of communication between reception and bar staff, we had a nightmare with the bottle of wine that was include in our deal. Apparently it’s ’room’ wine and can’t be taken outside to the outdoor area but has to be drank in ure room, even if it is a lovely day and room is boiling!

One the best hotels in the area. Stunning reception and bar area. Staff very friendly and helpful. The morning cleaner in the bar is worth a special mention as she never stopped going at full rate! Down side has to be up to 6/7 dogs in the bar area making quite a racket.

Lovely stay at the Riverside Lodge. Food was of a high standard the only thing was the cooked breakfast could have been warmer. I would recommend a stay here and is well located to get to other towns and cities

Hotel is nice, staff were great and the food was really good. A couple of things really spoiled the weekend. Asked for white wine for the room got Rose and was told no white wine available. This was obs the cheaper white wine they put in rooms as I was able to hsve white wine with dinner. Disappointing. The room itself was a great size, spacious and comfy but the cleanliness let it down. Dust on the table lamps, glasses dirty I had to wash them before use. Didn't use the kettle as the filter was really dirty, crumbs down the sides of the chairs and the rims round the taps in the bathroom were filthy. This really tarred what should have been a nice visit.

Hotel was clean and tidy, the meal was average and the breakfast was ok but you had to wait for the toast and when asked about the bread and croissant they answer was unfortunately there is none left, very poor continental breakfast selection

Hotel was lovely service and food excellent very relaxing hotel. Rooms were lovely, breakfast was buffet style but hot and fresh even though restaurant was very busy due to there being a wedding the night before which we didn’t hear at all. Lovely area outside to sit and have a coffee or drink. Will definitely go back and recommend to others

Very clean hotel, staff are young but very polite and attentive and the food is excellent. This is our second time at this hotel and we will return. Only thing I find odd is that there is only one bedside table in the rooms. Recommend.

We had a great stay at the hotel lovely big room and doors that opened out to the garden complete with table and chairs as it was a beautiful day it was nice to sit outside, we had a great sleep nice comfy bed staff were all lovely as was the food the only downside was the waiting time in the restaurant I think that was down to the kitchen not the waiting staff we gave up on dessert as it was taking so long, breakfast was lovely would definitely go back as I think it has just been too busy as they also had a wedding on and waiting staff apologised for our wait looking forward to booking again.

Everywhere in the hotel was spotless, I was in room 211, the room was spotless bed was comfy, but the room didn't represent the rest of the hotel, I felt it was a bit dated, although it wouldn't stop me from staying in the same room again. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, food was lovely, and for the drinks they were priced well too. We will definitely be back, and at the price I paid was amazing.

Stayed 2nd August 2022

Had a great wee overnight stay at this hotel. Modern hotel. We had a table looking onto garden in the restaurant for our evening meal which was nice. Food was very good. Rooms were comfortable but would have loved a garden room. Was really warm in room but there was a fan which sorted that. Great shower which is unusual in some hotels. Went later for breakfast and had to ask them to bring some breakfast items which they did quickly. Would recommend this hotel but need a car due to location.
