We found this place to be most charming! The food was great too. The staff are all so helpful and kind. They really made our stay worth while. The room came with a fan and that was fantastic. We also had a bathtub and a fridge which was great. The security and its staff was great too.

The restaurant is lovely, serene and quite ideal to wind down after a long day. The food is tasty as well. My qualm with it is that some of the wait staff really inflate the bills or present 'ghost' bills to customers days or weeks later, there are two males in particular who are fond of doing this! They sometimes also insist on customers sending the money to their personal numbers as opposed to the restaurant's till number. The owner is quite friendly and checks in on customers, but the wait staff are letting down the entire experience of this otherwise lovely restaurant.

I stayed here for one night and really wanted to checkout before the day even started. The room were FULL of mosquitoes and the rooms were not in good shape. I spent all my time securing myself rather than sleeping. Would not recommend sleeping here. Please find other budget hotels.

The best place for business guests, not that costly and quiet too. There is also a nice cool garden open for all, incase one has visiters. I can recommend hotel riverview to all business guests who need a quiet place away from busy areas. Staffs are helpful and friendly at all time.

Great hotel with good breakfast and a fun feel - there is also an amazing bbq and cheap food that is delicious. There is a resident cat who will probably come visit to try a bit of ur bbq - he likes the guests alot and is rather fat.

I stayed 3 nights at Hotel Riverview during my stay in wetlands last December 2017, I really appreciated my stay there. The rooms rooms are spacious, quiet and clean, the kitchenette is excellent. The staff are friendly, however the working hours in the bar&restaurant are limited therefore need improvement.
