There's a lot of brash new money on Mount St, but character-filled Riverview stands out with a bit of old-school personality. Its refurbished 1960s bachelor pads sit neatly atop a buzzy cafe and foyer hung with Persian rugs. Rooms (all with kitchenette) are sunny and simple; the ones at the front have river views, while the rear ones are quieter.
