The hotel has been fully refurbished to a very high standard and is located in a quiet area of Salisbury. Yet it is within easy walking distance of the City, plus there is plenty of free parking on site ! The only downside is that Dinner is not available at the hotel. However a free shuttle service is provided into the City Centre. Would definitely recommend the Riverside Hotel for a City break.

Friendly and helpful staff. We parked easily at the hotel and the receptionist ordered us a taxi. On our return we were shown to our rooms which were clean, bright and comfortable. The shuttle bus into Salisbury was a great idea and the driver was lovely. We had a drink in the hotel bar, again the staff were very helpful. After a good nights sleep in the comfortable bed, breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. The hotel setting is beautiful too, sadly it was too cold and wet to sit on the terrace but it would be fantastic on a warm summers day.

The breakfast menu was excellent. The room was better than when we last stayed. Great views and spotlessly clean. Best of all were the staff. They were all so friendly and helpful. Parking was good and the complimentary minibus into town is brilliant (with a very friendly driver).

Great location by a river, overlooking the water meadows to Salisbury Cathedral. No lift, but staff showed us to our room and helped with luggage. The hotel runs a useful free minibus into the centre each evening, to enable easy access to local restaurants. Pleasant bar and terrace. A lovely short break.
