When is the best time to go to Riverside?

The best time to go to Riverside is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are generally smaller. During late spring, the days are longer and the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 20°C. This is an excellent time for exploring the Riverside Botanical Gardens and enjoying boat trips along the River Thames without the peak summer heat. Many of the local markets and outdoor cafes are in full swing, offering a relaxed experience. Early autumn also offers comfortable weather, with temperatures often between 12°C and 18°C. The changing leaves provide a beautiful backdrop, particularly for walks along the riverbanks or through the historic town centre.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Riverside hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Riverside hotel?

Hotel prices in Riverside often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Princes Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"We really liked the hotel. It was clean, the staff is very helpful. Good breakfast, great location close to the Tube. Would recommend."

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay! The room was small, but very clean and organized. The location was great for a solo traveler and felt safe. It is also about a 10 minute walk to Paddington Station, which was easy to get from the airport and back. There’s a tube and bus station nearby, so easy access to transportation and getting around the city. I would stay here again!!"

Bluedaws Private Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms are basic, just sleeping, no tv. Was clean. The staff was very awesome and friendly, willing to help with anything, got there early and the room wasn’t ready. They let us leave our luggage there while we explored the neighborhood until the room was ready. Once the room was ready they let us check in even thought it was before check in time. I would go back to this hotel."

Atrium Hotel Heathrow

8/10 Good

"We were only there for 8 hours before leaving for Heathrow but the room was clean, ac was working, bed was really comfortable and staff offered breakfast boxes as we were leaving before the breakfast service (didn’t have them but nice that they offered). Location was very easy across the street to the tube station and a couple of stops to the terminal."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"I would come back to this hotel. The location is very central and the price is decent. My room did not have air conditioning and it was quite warm but there was a fan. They do charge for early check in and late checkout. After a long journey from the states i had to pay the early check in fee which was a bit annoying because many hotels will waive this if the room is ready. Overall it was fine"
