Guest Reviews
- Charlon (10/5): - Great for short stay
- Georgina (6/5): - Staff friendly
Shower blocked, not repaired during our 8 day stay.
Happy with location, close to shops and train station.
- Felix (6/5): - Male toilet and shower had a broken shower door
- Stephen (8/5): - Clean and well maintained.
- Hussein (4/5): - Clean room, nice staff but the noise levels from the gaming area, hallway and the surrounding rooms was unbearable
- Chad (10/5): - Good and Clean and friendly
- Rhyanna (8/5): - The staff were amazing and very helpful
- Max (8/5): - It was fine thanks
- Abdul Rahman (6/5): - The proprty is within reasonable distance from Sydney's landmarks.
Commuting in Sydney is great with public transport. There is a train station, bus stations in that area.
The Area is considered relatively quiet, although the Hotel has a casino and Bottler shop. It is for adults only as I have seen reviews from people who were not aware.
The rooms are nice with windows and airconditioners. However, not all rooms are on-suit. Some rooms dont have neither toilet nor shower and clients would need to use shared Toilet or shower, one at a time.
Expedia doesn't clarify this on their wbsite when you book it through Expedia, and you might end up in a room with no toilet nor shower. This is what happened to me, but the managers at Riverwood Hotel were eventually reasonable to provide me an en-suit room although they claim that Expedia has booked me the type of room that comes with no toilet nor shower.
- Alice (10/5): Excellent stay - Excellent place to stay - the double room was so comfortable & clean, has everything you need. Easy to get into town on the train & facilities are brilliant. Toiletries, towels & coffee provided which was a big plus. Couple of cobwebs here & there in the bathroom & can be a little bit loud at night, but with some earplugs you’ll have the best sleep of your life. Will be staying again.
- Kylie (10/5): - The staff were very accommodating as I accidentally booked for a month after my actual date I wanted and they were so helpful the rooms are clean and comfortable
- Kelly (8/5): - Staff were very helpful and nice, easy parking, bistro food was great
- sara (6/5): - For the price, it was worth staying, and it was clean.
- Tyrone (10/5): - Great experience!! Place was clean and so cozy!!
- VIJESH (10/5): - Best service
- Anne (6/5): - This place is cheaply rated so you get what you pay for. On check in, the manager ignored me because he was busy setting up a pool competition at the bar and the counter was unmanned. When I asked if he saw me, he said he did but the competition was more important. I’d flown in from overseas and it was close to 10pm. The shared kitchen had no cutlery and I had to go next door to ask for some and the staff member looked hesitant to provide me with utensils. They provide you with a bar soap which makes no sense if you’re in a shared bathroom because it’s difficult to transport that back. The accommodation area was noisy, other patrons were generally allowed to be noisy and disruptive and management basically left us to it. The shared fridge had food in it that expired in 2024 so I’m not sure it’s getting cleaned at all. Overall it was clean and the bathrooms were cleaned frequently but that’s it.
- Hoan (2/5): - I had stay 4 times. Im happy with 3 last times. But this time not really good.
One time i going holiday I just want a good sleep, but 2 night stay its was terrible 😔 with me, next my door they noise night time, house keeping noise at 10am, they clean and they talking they laughing, otherwise i saw them leave towel, cover sheet underground, event after that they washing so clean but still have bad images in my mind.
The door of room making noise when open and close, they must fix that too easy, to make the quite hotel for everyone stay
- Kim (8/5): - Good meals at very affordable prices, easy walking to the train station.
- charrise (10/5): - Very clean
- Paul (10/5): - Ok
- Leuaina (10/5): - Rooms were clean and excellent..
- June (10/5): - Had a nice stay.
- Alafita (4/5): - Noisy and room odorous
- charrise (10/5): - Staff and team are always very kind also premises and facilities are very clean.
Also it is nice proof and safe
- Brooke (6/5): - The room was clean🙏 Beds were comfortable.
Had a great steak for dinner, in house Restaurant.
We had shared Shower and toilet for all guests on ground floor. The shower cubicle around floor level needed cleaning attention. 7.30 am off to shower cubicle...No Hot Water..
- Cec (8/5): - Great service, room met our needs.
Clean and good location.
Only complaint the shower was not wonderful.
Overall pretty good
- Russell (10/5): - Nice and easy little hotel to stay at 5 mins walk to train station and shops like woolies and Aldi's and all the restaurants. The hotel has nice food also at good prices
- Alofi (8/5): - Stayed our room was a great size. Broken side table drawer.
Inconvenient of shared bathrooms Yuck!
The staff were lovely.
We had dinner ordered at The Bistro and taken back to our room and it was delicious
- Irene (8/5): - Stayed for 4 nights. Comfortable queen bed, clean and tidy room with private bathroom. Internet access. Had people smoking in the accommodation area which wasn't pleasant but they didn't stay long.
- PunKan (8/5): - Clean and comfortable bed. Room a little cramp.
Check in was at the bar counter, a little confusing for the first timer.
Was given a small bar of soap for shower, but no place to place it inside the shower cubicle.
Ran out of hot water in the morning... probably too many guests using?
- Russell (8/5): - Nice and cheap
- Andrew (8/5): - Great value for the price. I was surprised at how clean and fresh the room was - usually at this price they are dingy, old, smelly, dusty, etc.
The room was recently renovated, clean, fresh, and had just what you need for a budget stay.
Only annoyance was noise in the halls comes through to your room (doors banging shut, people talking in the hallways).
Otherwise would be happy to stay here again on a budget.
- Heather (10/5): Great motel - Very cheap and clean..the room smelt amazing..the price was fantastic..staff are very friendly and helpful..bistro meals are fabulous and cheap..i would stay again.
- William (10/5): - Great
- Rodwell (6/5): - its a clean and quiet place. Besides, their charges are reasonable.
- TERESA (8/5): - Staff was very friendly.
Room with ensuite was comfortable.
Only concern was noise factor at nights.
- Mandie (10/5): - Excellent stay.
- Pierre (10/5): - A wonderful stay.
- Adrian (8/5): - Nice clean rooms. If you require ensuite be careful which room you book otherwise shared bathroom . Great place to stay , train station handy for city.
- Blake (8/5): - Stay was good, some other people who stayed there doesn’t clean after themselves which is disgraceful
- Xiamei (8/5): - NA
- Cherie Chantelle (8/5): - Room looked and smelt clean.
Room was big enough.
In a good location for what i needed
Great price
Didnt know when booking there was no toilet and shower in the room and had to use a shared one down the hallway. There was only 1 toilet and shower and i had to wait twice for the toilet.
Could hear every time some one opened/closed doors
- Catherine (10/5): - We stayed here for one night and were pleasantly surprised..The room was clean..comfortable bed,...newish furnishings, carpets etc..I didn't realise it was a shared bathroom that I booked but even that was fine, everything seemed new.....The guy at the premises was good to deal with...The Bistro food was excellent...For what it was we thought it was great and would go there again under the same circumstances..inexpensive too..( We stayed there because our Husky was at Hanrob kennels, Waterfall being looked after and we wanted to be close to him before returning to Melbourne)...
- Jacqueline (10/5): - Management are very friendly and helpful
Cleaning staff are always helpful and very efficient
Thank you all staff
- Jacqueline (10/5): - Made some new friends with the guests.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything is good. Expect
- Jacqueline (10/5): - Cleaners were very friendly and helpful
They were also able to complete their tasks in a timely manner
The bathrooms were cleaned daily
These cleaners are the best
- Huy (10/5): - Save and clean policy service
- Rodney (10/5): - Good size room and clean and where i was waa quiet
- Omar (2/5): - Dirty and noisy
- Pandula (10/5): - Good for the price
- Mikael (8/5): - Ok.
- Jugbadal (8/5): - Only downside was the shared washroom, besides that, it was good.
- Rain (4/5): - Yelling and screaming all through the night. Shares bathroom was an absolute disaster and was as the toilette. Not a great area.
- Anthony (8/5): - It was good to find that they had a shared kitchen
- GREG (2/5): - small room folk next door argueing swearing half the night not good
- Tracey (8/5): - The room was really nice, really good value for the price paid. My only criticism is that there was black hair all through the bed and in the bathroom which I assume (hope) was left by the cleaner. This was a little off putting but the sheets looked clean and the bed was super comfy so not a huge deal. The biggest issue was the noise. You can hear everything happening outside the room and being a light sleeper I was woken every time someone went to the toilet or closed a door. There seemed to only be a few other guests there, I can imagine it would be much worse if the place was at capacity. I would definitely stay again, will just being ear plugs next time to ensure a better nights sleep.
- Kirsty (8/5): - Clean and basic, one minor repair needed in the bathroom but otherwise great for our needs
- Jeannette (10/5): - good
- Matthew (10/5): - Staff were super friendly and helpful
- Rudi (6/5): - Consider price, the hotel is OK. Door is not sound proof enough to minimize noise from hallway.
- Mikaila (10/5): - Great staff and property
- Tony (8/5): - What I like about this hotel is that it is close to the train station. The only challenge for me is to always look for reception service.
- Sarah (8/5): - Good
- RAYMOND (10/5): - I have stayed here several times. I have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and quiet. I will be sraying again
- Robin (10/5): - I specially liked the food choices from the restaurant.
The meal that I chose was excellent.
Cigarette smoke entered the area of the rooms.
I did not like the strong smell of cigarete smoke in the bar areas.
- YUKARI (4/5): - There are no private bathroom and a toilet.
Also no hair dryer.
Walls are thin, so easy to hear next room’s voices and all sounds.
- Kunal (6/5): - Great place to stay on a budget. I booked through an app and was not told the bathroom was shared. Had I known I would not have booked. Lack of water or sink in the room is a big inconvenience. And a shock surprise when the bathroom was available there was no toilet paper in the receptical. Good location though if travelling through southern Sydney.
- Abdulhamid (10/5): - Best last minute stay
- Sybil (10/5): - Beautiful clean motel. Comfortable bed and pillows. Staff are lovely and very helpful. They Go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Thank you for my chocolates :). Great food served at the bistro - good value delicious meals.
Thank you for looking after us. Keeping our luggage safe and Jvonne, thank you for looking after us after checkout till our ride came.
- RAYMOND (10/5): - Nice easy check in with friendly staff. Comfortable beds.
- TAIGA (4/5): - There were some cockroaches in the room
- Hoan (8/5): - The quiet area, i can park my car inside hotel that Im so happy because its more safety. And 1 more little thing is they give free Bolte of water, just little but big happy ☺️
Just not happy the share bathroom 2 day noone clean.
- Sadie (2/5): - The room we stayed was duty under the beds rubbish the room locked like it wasn't cleaned
- Zena (10/5): - Loved it!
- NGOC (2/5): - I had to request for a toilet roll in a bathroom. The room by itself is small but good enough for 1 person. The bathroom is dirty so it should be regularly cleaned. The bathroom shower sliding door is broken and guests had only one bathroom upstairs to share which was inconvenient. No hair dryer but bathroom towels, soap and hair shampoo provided. Would recommend to book room with ensuite. bathroom
- Jorge (2/5): - I was impress with the customer service and I can see they put so much effort into the renovations and looks great and clean. The big problem I had was German cockroaches that start climbing the bed at night. I can't believe it. So spotless and did not manage pest control. It is sad because the place is brand new. I won't come back again!
- Briana-Louise (10/5): - The staff are absolutely amazing, there were a few /insects/ in the room, but other than that was a very enjoyable stay! The food downstairs is great, and despite the establishment below being open until 4am, no noise or anything carries up stairs. Staff allowed me an early check in due to my room being unused the previous night, and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The location is great (especially if needing a short stay before flying out of Sydney!)
