Very Friendly staff, clean rooms and quiet at night. Food is okay, not the worst but not amazing. Old hotel but pretty well kept. Decent little gym, pool was closed when I was there but looked decent.

10/10 Exceptional

The waterside is great, it is very dated but the price reflects that. There’s nothing else around this part of Scotland that gives you this level of value for money. I wouldn’t go there expecting the world but it’s clean, has a nice restreraunt, a so with sauna, jacuzzi, pool and steam room and the staff are very attentive. I love the place and will be going back next weekend.

Another nice stay

Another nice stay at the Waterside Peterhead. Staff are all friendly which is an asset to this hotel. Food is very tasty at both evening meal and breakfast. Good value for money

No hot water in the room for a shower in the morning. Excuse from reception was that there were only 9 people staying in the hotel. Not impressed and wa unable to wash and shave due to the cold water.

Good clean hotel As with all Britannia hotels needs updated but if all you need is a bed and a reasonable meal this fits the purpose at a good price
Ronald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent place for the price

Good check in, staff very pleasant decent Dinner, Bed and Breakfast rate however I got charged £5 for a half pint of lime and soda which is extortionate.

8/10 Very good

Fine for a short stay

On arrival at Waterside Hotel, found the car park was mostly filled with work vans, so wondered if it was the right choice for a couple, but on entering we found the staff friendly and helpful, the room was basic but clean, the TV was set on the dressing table blocking the mirror. Breakfast in the morning was really good, with a great choice and tasty well cooked hot food and good speedy service, so good value overall.

Refurb needed

Nice food, hotel needs a refurb! Room felt like a cell, maybe it’s meant to be shabby chic or something but painted breeze block walls are not relaxing!

AJAYAKUMAR, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Asked about gym hours and access at time of check in, I was told it closes at 8:30pm and I would only have to check in with the gym receptionist. I go to the gym at 7:20pm and am informed that I have to pay an additional fee to use the gym facilities. I ask if they can charge my room and I am told I have to pay before use. I trek to my room, get my card, and trek back only to find they have difficulties with the card machine. It would've been convenient if at time of check in when I had my wallet and specifically requested gym information, that I pay at that time or charge my room so I pay at check out.

We enjoyed out stay, it was a wee bit of a couple's therapy kind of getaway. Ordered afternoon tea, the little traybake bites were sobsweet, we couldn't eat them. The hotel staff was were nice and helpful, however the hotel itself needs a bit of refurbishment
Gabriella, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Adequate

As others have said, this hotel is in dire need of an update. Staff were pleasant enough, food was ok and decent value. Paid £7 for WiFi and was only able to use it for about 20 minutes during my stay, even in the hotels main areas. Breakfast was a £24!! Add on

RöHäN, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

If you want to feel like an inconvenience,,,,,

Food was nice, but the service, particularly on a morning made you feel like you were personally the reason they had to get out of bed. No organisation for seating you for breakfast, I was sat at Three tables at one point, before being served. Not to mention the big sigh I was greeted with when asking for a table for three. The place is aged, and not in a good way. Bar staff keep vanishing. It was a very hot week and the room was baking, no air con and a sign beside your window saying not to leave it open as the swallows might get in! Really not a good place to stay. It’s obvious why the other places get snapped up early.
Glen, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

We will not be staying again

Not happy at all. Chaotic check-in, room very run down - in fact the whole hotel could do with a re-furb. Hotel was advertised as having free wi-fi and a swimming pool. Wi-fi only free in bar area (which they turn off if they are looking to close up - and this was soon after 9pm!!). First night the barmaid was loudly complaining about the fact that customers were asking for drinks when she wanted to clear up. There was a swimming pool but there was a charge of £5 per person, per session- more expensive than our local leisure centre, which has a full size pool. Overall very poor service from staff who clearly were not customer focused. Bed and pillows very hard. We stayed for 3 nights and didn’t get one good nights sleep. Again bathroom could have benefited from a really deep clean.
Maureen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay, very reasonably priced.

Stayed for 2 nights and was happy overall. Staff were friendly and welcoming, room was clean, pricing was within my budget. Cooked breakfast in the morning not so good - buffet style/hot plate, and food was luke warm. The beans were hot though. This is the downside of hot plate service. There was plenty of food a available though, cereals also. Dinner at night however a different story. Different menu each night with several options. Both nights the food was really good. Menu has set pricing of 1, 2 or 3 courses. Which was very reasonable. Unfortunately the company left a little to be desired on the first evening… there were a group of tradesmen in who were obviously regulars as they were very familiar with the staff. With that being the case, I feel the staff should be comfortable enough without being prompted, in reminding them that there are other guests dining - their language was very colourful and loud. I felt very uncomfortable and got through dinner as quick as possible. Was looking forward to the pool (one of the reasons I booked here). Unfortunately the pool is not that great - kidney bean shaped, which does not allow for a lot of people in the pool especially if you actually want to swim lengths. I managed, but I felt very conscious and almost guilty of getting in the way of others. I certainly enjoyed the steam room afterwards. The location is about 1.5 miles from the town centre, so a quick drive or a nice wee walk if you prefer.
