Nice location, beware of lack of parking on-site! Limited menu in restaurant (if you buy the package deal). A few issues with the room but helpful staff resolved them the best they could. Not bad prices for food and drink, considering it's a hotel. Would stay again.

Guest reviews
River Island Hotel averages 4.3 out of 5 across 615 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
We had a wonderful stay. We left at 6am before breakfast and the receptionist arranged for the night porter to provided tea & coffee and a continental breakfast to go. Dinner in the restaurant was amazing.
We recently stayed at The River Island Hotel in Castleisland. We were pleasantly surprised by its old-world grandeur, especially the lobby and hotel bar areas, which truly left us in awe. The public spaces are beautifully maintained, full of character, and set the tone for a unique stay. The hotel bar also serves a great pornstar martini. While the rooms themselves feel more dated than grand, with smaller spaces, lower ceilings, and traditional decor, they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's worth noting that parking is conveniently located nearby, even if it's not directly on hotel premises. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional service.…
