How the Hotel Works
We operate a keyless PIN entry system. No Hassle with keys, come and go as you please. Entrance is through a gated alleyway or if you arrive before 4:15pm a member of staff from the cafe can show you around.
The hotel has CCTV in communal areas and an emergency ‘on call’ number should you have any trouble during your stay. Check in is at 3pm, unfortunately we cannot offer an earlier time due to cleaning time required. Check out is at 10am.
Breakfast is included in the price of the room and is provided in our cafe situated on street level.
There is a wide choice that caters for many dietary requirements. As the hotel is manned partially we require a mobile number and email address for health and safety purposes. Quiet hours are between 11pm and 7am and we ask that guests respect these as we often have families with children staying with us.

We had walked past the old Midland Bank building daily but never really thought about it. It was too big for what we needed but it was in the perfect location. It backed on to the River Dee and had frontage onto the centre off Llangollen. Problem was that it was in a bad state of repair and like I said it was huge. “What could we do with it?”
2017
One of the overriding ideas behind buying Riverbanc was that we could run activities from there, have a fantastic coffee shop and maybe some accommodation. Pretty quickly our thoughts went from bunkhouse style accommodation to more up market accommodation. We settled initially on 6 bedrooms, a classroom and a store room in the upstairs section of the building. The building is Grade 2 listed so special care needed to be taken with the build to retain the many features that the building had...
