Because the hotel was quiet they decided to serve our breakfast in our room. No problem with that BUT if we had been informed we would have said "no cooked breakfast for us please" So 2 plates of food wasted! ##### Ian Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew Aug 23, 2018 #### Comfortable stay at Upington We were disappointed not to find an evening meal. But Protea was fairly close and the food was good. We slept comfortably and the buffet breakfast was excellent. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Owen Sep 20, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice and a great breakfast !! It was good just a long way to drive for two days !! ##### Owen Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### John Jun 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness #### Spacious 3 star budget hotel The owner of River City in is also the owner of the Protea hotels. The hotel is misleading in its name as it is one block away from the river and has no river views. On saying this, the rooms were very large and a value for money 3 star Hotel. Positives: Large room, large shower, flat screen TV, capsule coffee machine in room, air con and comfortable beds. Good Breakfast Negatives: Wi-Fi need to get from generated code reception and only 250mb per 24 hours. No lifts and if you are street based can be a bit noisy. Also noted Breakfast finishes at 09h30 and from 09h00 there was little picking left and had to ask for everything. ##### John Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Dec 14, 2019 Disliked: Room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Botlierskop Bush Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Brak-River-Hotels-Botlierskop-Bush-Villas.h11941327.Hotel-Information) > - [Boubou Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Kgetlengrivier-Hotels-Boubou-Bed-And-Breakfast.h14910356.Hotel-Information) > - [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > - [Mermaid Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Struisbaai-Hotels-Mermaid-Guest-House.h34928484.Hotel-Information) > - [33 The Bridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-33-The-Bridge-Resort.h38866374.Hotel-Information) > - [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > - [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > - [Lighthouse Guesthouse & Cafe](https://www.expedia.ca/Groblersdal-Hotels-Lighthouse-Guesthouse-Cafe.h19269801.Hotel-Information) > - [The Farmhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Langebaan-Hotels-The-Farmhouse-Hotel.h2483665.Hotel-Information) > - [Jan Harmsgat Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Boesmanspad-Hotels-Jan-Harmsgat-Country-House.h3595471.Hotel-Information) > - [Chateau de Marine](https://www.expedia.ca/Struisbaai-Hotels-Chateau-De-Marine.h55086700.Hotel-Information) > - [Seaside Apartment @ Perna Perna Umdloti](https://www.expedia.ca/Umdloti-Hotels-Perna-Perna-Umdloti.h69823538.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > - [Leopard Tree Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Lalapanzi-Guest-House.h18236837.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Chad Luxury Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Kleinmond-Hotels-Villa-Chad.h13128610.Hotel-Information) > - [Alpha Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Broederstroom-Hotels-Alpha-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h44455214.Hotel-Information) > - [Mjejane River Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mjejane-River-Lodge.h6504964.Hotel-Information) > - [Nkuhlu Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Nkomazi-Hotels-Nkuhlu-Tented-Camp.h95115465.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandpiper Guest Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Boggoms-Bay-Hotels-Sandpiper-Guest-Cottages.h10437635.Hotel-Information) > - [Nkambeni Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Nkambeni-Safari-Camp.h2202798.Hotel-Information) > - [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > - [On the Beach Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Jeffreys-Bay-Hotels-On-The-Beach-Guesthouse.h3864218.Hotel-Information) > - [Kuruman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuruman-Hotels-Kuruman-Hotel.h39990637.Hotel-Information) > - [Bosbok Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Phalaborwa-Hotels-Bosbok-Lodge.h36027048.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverbend Chalets Self Catering](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Riverbend-Chalets-Self-Catering.h45388238.Hotel-Information) > - [Marlin Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Marlin-Lodge.h6020379.Hotel-Information) > - [Mentors Country Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Jeffreys-Bay-Hotels-Mentors-Country-Estate.h6614494.Hotel-Information) > - [Highland Rose Country House & Serenity Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dullstroom-Hotels-Highland-Rose-Country-House-Serenity-Spa.h33207170.Hotel-Information) > - [Gonana Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Paternoster-Hotels-Gonana-Guesthouse.h44806063.Hotel-Information)
