Riverside setting: The hotel sits on the Garavogue River, and some rooms are positioned to make the water views part of the stay—great for a calmer backdrop after a day out in Sligo.

Rooms built for comfort: Riverside Hotel has 66 en-suite bedrooms described as spacious and modern, with premium mattresses, plump pillows, and crisp white linen for an easy, no-fuss night’s sleep.

Food and drink on-site: Having both The Mill Bar & Restaurant and Ripples Café in-house makes it simple to stay put for breakfast, coffee, or a casual meal, with river views adding to the atmosphere.

Walkable Sligo base: You’re a short walk from Sligo Abbey and close to the city centre’s shops and dining, which is handy if you want to explore without relying on a car.

Helpful, friendly service: Guest feedback commonly highlights warm, efficient reception and a genuinely welcoming team, with cleanliness also frequently praised.

Parking limitations: On-site parking is extremely limited and works on a first-come basis, so arriving later may mean using nearby pay-and-display options.

Not pet-friendly: Riverside Hotel does not accept pets, with service dogs as the exception.

Room requests aren’t guaranteed: Riverview and balcony rooms are subject to availability, so specific room preferences may not always be possible.
