6/10 Good

The staff were exceptional but the late 4pm check in and early 10am checkout meant we simply couldn’t use the facilities which we had paid to enjoy. It was a nice, clean comfortable hotel but it felt more like somewhere you would use for work rather than leisure.

6/10 Good

On arrival, Nice location, quite a nice looking hotel, a bit dated, lots of white vans. Nice friendly staff. Reasonably priced. No family's or children in sight, I found out that this hotel is a tradesman stop off for the power station next door for the next 6 years, so it didn't have a holiday vibe what so ever. We booked a family room for 4 people for our stay but this room WAS NOT available on arrival so we had to cram a makeshift bed in to a very small room and make do for 4 days & nights. There was a £15 price difference in the rooms but it was not refunded to us, we weren't even offered a free breakfast. Fire alarms went off at 5.30am by mistake on first morning. Nightmare.... On check out day the cleaner came in our room at 8.30 when we were all still sleeping. Food in restaurant was OK, Quit expensive for what it was, Breakfast finished way too early for a family, 9am.. The dated swimming pool and spa is extra cost on top of the stay. A great hotel for trades men, but not a place we would stay at again.

Clean and tidy with lovely staff, the hotel had decent amenities but could use a lot of updating. But for £72 a night thats acceptable. Food was basic with quite a small menu and the buffet breakfast at over £11 was definitely not value for money. Id go back but wouldnt bother with the food.

2/10 Poor

The facilities are so run down, mould in the bathroom, doors that dont fit, general decor is tatty and the rooms are dirty. Staff were friendly and breakfast was ok, although just a little greasy. We wouldnt stay here again but based on cost, you get what you pay for. Poor doos Waterside......

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.

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.

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
