Charged me twice for the room!! No idea how they got hold of my bank details but I would be extremely careful about booking with them. I booked through Booking.com who have always been reliable but the fact that Riverside Rooms charged me too is dodgy.

Read moreAbsolutely disgusting treatment! A friend of mine has stayed here and was charged twice for their room. They have gone though a huge level of difficulty to try and have this money returned, currently with no success. The buisness will not engage in correspondence with them and are also ignoring the booking service used to arrange the room (booking.com). There has been nor response for 17 days.
