The Riverside Rooms

The location was fantastic right next to the lock and within easy walking distance of everything in Newark. The apartment was much more spacious than we expected for the price, with a very comfortable bed, a spotless bathroom, and a great shower. It was well equipped with plenty of tea, coffee, biscuits, storage space and everything we needed, making it feel more like a home than a hotel. The owner was also excellent with communication, replying quickly to any questions and providing clear instructions for parking, check-in and accessing the apartment.

Very little to dislike. It doesn't offer breakfast, but that wasn't a major issue with cafés nearby. The building also seems quite new and still developing, so it may offer even more facilities in the future. If anything, the listing could make it a little clearer that the accommodation is more like a serviced apartment than a traditional hotel, although we actually preferred that and I may have missed it on the description of the stay.

No breakfast provided

Beautiful room but expensive for just a room

Perfect location

Property was very hot couldn’t have window open because of all night spot light that attracted the moths & flies. Fan was next to useless

Location nice but our room looked out back scruffy yards

Very basic accommodation with no facilities open nearby
