Reviews for The River Lee

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Great location, just a short walk to city centre. The hotel is modern but with a cosy, welcoming ambience. Very good food, especially the breakfast, which is outstanding! The biggest plus is the staff, who are unfailingly polite, helpful and friendly, even when it's extremely busy! They interact with guests as if we're all old friends! We'll absolutely be back - for a longer stay!

I felt comfortable. Very pleasant hotel. A few minor things that I didn't like. Well located But overall GOOD! Rooms on the 4th floor do not have USB charging ports, only Irish sockets (bring an adapter). The extensive carpeting in the hotel is somewhat unhygienic. However, it is very friendly and very clean!
