Overall Ratings & Reviews The Waterside Hotel

perfect stay in Peter head. Short walk to the golf course Peter had links. Good food big room overall excellent

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Older hotel but very clean with excellent staff

Service and staff were great However shower didn’t work properly and there was no soap in the shower either

.

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.

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.

It was gibe. Stayed there a few times so knew what I was getting

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.

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

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!

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.

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
