Hotel Riverside

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 .

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.

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...
