Rooms were clean and staff were lovely. Rooms a little dated and pool is an additional charge
Room was clean, definitely a little dated. Parking lot is in need of repair. Staff was friendly and helpful. The dining was unclear, no menu but no buffet, not sure how to order.

The room was clean. However, we stayed 4 nights and never had a housekeeping visit. We had to ask for clean towels and coffee replenishment. The other issue i had was the fact people were smoking very close to the entrance and the lobby smelled of cigarettes. The front desk staff were warm and helpful.
The staff were all great and a special mention to the manager and reception staff and all the waitresses every one did an amazing job with a warm and friendly atmosphere nothing was too much they all deserve a good pay rise

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.
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......
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

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.

If You enjoy golfing, stay at the waterside. You can walk to the most fantastic links course.
Plus, the hotel has a pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and a steam for after golf. Perfect.
Stayed 2 nights for a wedding . Staff were excellent couldn’t do enough for us and very friendly . Constantly checking everything was ok in toilets , reception area etc . Rooms very comfy and clean .
The two ladies working last night were excellent both reception and in the restaurant they have their work cut out being busy but they did an amazing job

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!
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.
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.
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
