Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Riverton is appreciated for its modern and clean rooms, some offering beautiful window views. Many guests enjoy the excellent breakfast with its big variety of food, as well as the convenience of having a minibar in the room. The rooftop bar on the 12th floor is a highlight, providing underbar views, while the hotel's location is ideal-close to attractions like Feskekörka, and within walking distance from the central station, Haga district, and Lisebergsparken. Some guests have, however, found certain rooms to be on the smaller side.
