This is a Review.

I stayed in the small suite with a pull-out sofa bed. It was comfortable and modern. Clean. When there was a small problem with the fridge on check-in, the hotel immediately fixed it. Would stay again.

Die Lage von Riverside vom Haus 7 ist sehr schön und gut. Schöne Aussicht in die Natur. Wir haben im Studio alles gehabt, was es brauchte. Die Gartenanlage ist schön. Wir erhielten sehr schnell Unterstützung, wenn wir etwas benötigten. Alle nötigen Informationen haben wir von den Betreibern des Cottage erhalten. Das Check in war einfach.
