If you are looking forward to a very innovative and trendy place to stay, This may not be your first choice; This is a very traditional building, but very well maintained! The interior is very clean and comfortable, with plenty of space. The reception was also very kind. I will definitely choose it again if I have the chance!

A very good riverside hotel with beautiful scenery and friendly owner. It is recommended to install a retractable shower head in the bathroom.

The Riverside is a classic roadside motel which had everything we needed for our one night stay in Whanganui. Ours was a 2-bedroom and both bedrooms were spacious, as was the living area. The hotel is located within easy walk to the main street, along a nice riverside walkway. The hosts were friendly and the room exactly as described. There was a fridge, cutlery and cooking utensils plus stove and microwave if you wanted to be self-sufficient. Also appreciated the helpful information folder with the local sights and stories. Thank you!

Whanganui Motel The Riverside Motel was clean but a little tired and needs some renovation to bring it up to date. Although the price paid reflects this as it was almost half the price of other places we stayed in this trip. The rooms are clean and there is everything provided that you need for an overnight stay.

This place was dirty. There was no plug-ins to to charge items. The shower did not drain and the water pressure was none excited. It felt unsafe the only door was a sliding glass door. We stayed ine night instead of the 6 we booked. When letting the manager he yelled at me and said i was full of rubbish and to leave they didn’t want our kind there.i do not know how they have a almost 5 star rating. I wanted to pay for the night we stayed and be refunded the ithwr 5 nights. He told me i would have to do it through ******* he took my booking paper. When i went to file the claim ******* need information from that paper work. NOT BOOK THERE.
