Friendly and very helpful staff. Hotel in need of modernisation but ok for the short business stay I was there for. Breakfast was good. Dinner was limited and quality of food only average, but reasonably priced for what you get.

Has the potential to be a really nice site, with great facilities, however is very dated and in need of refurbishment e.g. gardens over grown, furniture surfaces lifting and peeling, ill fitting covers on dinning area seats.

Clean but basic accommodation. Surprised that there was extra charge £5 for using pool or gym. Pleasant hard working staff. Food average except for being served a burnt slice of toast under the garlic mushrooms - Shame on the chef!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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
