Juli ChandMarch 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family has stayed at River Motel few times now. It has great location, excellent service, very comfortable beds/pillows, very clean and spacious rooms. Plus it is nice and quiet in the night for a peaceful sleep. Highly recommend this hotel. Alison ChanFebruary 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rooms are OK but quiet old. Main issue is it is pretty noisy from the car park or road due to poor noise isolation. Brad SkepperFebruary 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love staying at the river hotel when we are staying in Canberra . The pet friendly rooms are perfect for our short stays . The beds are comfortable and the amenities work very well . There is a small fridge and tea and coffee with biscuits are a nice touch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ s from meTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Second stay at the River Motel and not disappointments. Clean, spacious room both times, and perfect location for our needs. Andreas LudwigFebruary 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pet friendly! Good motel in close proximity to Canberra. Liked · Good motel a short drive away from Canberra that accepts pets. We had been there before and happily returned. The large and easily accessible parking is great, as are the clean and comfy rooms. We also like the easy access to the Queanbeyan River and the surrounding park land. And while you are strolling along the river, make your way to the Cartel Taqueria - very good Mexican food and a very nice location overlooking the river. Disliked · We did not like the check-in procedure involving too many confirmations and waiting for an SMS sent just shortly before arriving at the property. We knew the procedure now, but still ask why it's the only property on our month long road trip that considers the procedure to enter their premise to need this level of complication. Cr CrJanuary 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect location for a short stay in Queanbeyan - close to shops, restaurants and walking tracks. Clean rooms with great facilities. Would book again. LLJanuary 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always the best place to stay in town. Large modern rooms close to the CBD with everything you could want and exceptionally well priced. Perfect!
