I had a fantastic stay at The Waterside Hotel and Leisure Club. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, setting a positive tone from the moment I arrived. I loved the excellent spa facilities, especially the thermal suite with multiple steam rooms and the jacuzzi pool. However, I did find the dining options a bit limited for vegetarians, which was a slight drawback for me.

I had a pleasant stay overall, especially due to the friendly staff and the excellent leisure facilities, including a 25-metre pool. However, the room was quite small, making it a bit cramped, and the breakfast options could use better replenishing. Still, I appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel and the comfortable amenities available.

Breakfast was well-laid out with a nice view, but I found the pastries weren't replenished enough during busy times. The quality of the cooked food was good, but it would be nice if the pastries had been restocked promptly.

I had a pleasant stay at The Waterside Hotel And Leisure Club, with standout moments being the friendly staff and clean facilities. However, the Wi-Fi was a bit unreliable, and I could have used a bit more space in my room. Overall, it was a good experience, but there's some room for improvement. 😊

I found The Waterside Hotel and Leisure Club a mixed bag during my stay. The leisure facilities, especially the pool and spa, were enjoyable and expansive, allowing for a good escape after a long day. However, I was quite disappointed with the small double room. It felt cramped and uncomfortable, especially for two people. Overall, while the amenities are appealing, the room sizes are notably limiting.

The small double room was incredibly compact, making it uncomfortable for two guests, especially with luggage. I had to maneuver around the bed carefully, and the lack of space was quite off-putting.

I didn’t eat in the restaurant, but I experienced breakfast a couple of times. Although there was a nice selection, the service could be improved as I had to wait for hot food to be replenished.

The leisure facilities were definitely the highlight for me. The pool was nicely divided for all types of swimmers, and the sauna and spa area, although the steam room was out of action, were still very relaxing.
