Fantastic bookstore!

I love everything about Waterstones. It's cozy, the staff is helpful, and I always leave with more books than I planned. Just a lovely experience overall!

Nice store but staffing issues

Waterstones is a nice place to spend an afternoon. The layout is inviting and I often find what I need. My only gripe is that sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough staff around to help with questions, which is a bit frustrating when the store gets busy.

Average experience

Visited the Waterstones store last week, and honestly, it was just okay. The selection was decent, but the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. I didn’t get the help I needed.

Average service

I really expected more honestly. The book I ordered was damaged upon arrival and I had to fight to get a replacement. Customer service was okay but could be improved.

Just alright, not great

I always thought Waterstones was the go-to for books, but my last visit was kind of disappointing. The stock seemed low and the vibe wasn’t welcoming.

Okay but could be better

The ambiance is nice and the layout is cool, but the prices can be a little steep sometimes. I found a couple of books cheaper online.

Good but delivery issues

Great range of books and I love the staff recommendations. Just need to fix the delivery times because they can be really slow.

Absolutely adore Waterstones! They have such a fantastic selection. I can spend hours there just browsing. The coffee shop inside is a nice touch too.

Great selection but shipping could be faster

I love browsing Waterstones, they have an amazing selection of books and their staff is always helpful. Just wish the shipping was a bit quicker, it's taken a week for my latest order to arrive.

Same issues every time

Every time I order, there’s something that goes wrong. Either it’s the wrong book or it arrives late. The selection is great, but it’s so annoying.

Just okay

Books are good quality but the website can be a hassle. Sometimes items show as in stock and then they aren't, which is frustrating.

Not as good as I hoped

I had higher expectations. The place was crowded and it was tough to find help. I ended up leaving without buying anything.

Mostly good experience

Ordered a couple of books online and they arrived fine. The prices are reasonable but I had an issue with my payment going through. Took a bit of time to sort it but overall happy.

Great selection, but a bit pricey

Waterstones has an amazing range of books, whether you're looking for the latest bestsellers or hidden gems. I love browsing their stores. The only downside is that some of the prices can be a bit high compared to online options, but the atmosphere and service make up for it. Still, I’d appreciate a few more sales!

Always a pleasure to visit

I enjoy visiting Waterstones whenever I'm in the city. They have comfy reading corners and super helpful staff. I've found some great recommendations there. Just wish there were more discounts on the newer releases!

Solid bookstore experience

I've visited Waterstones multiple times and it's generally been a solid experience. Great selection of titles and a cozy environment, perfect for book lovers. If only their loyalty program offered better rewards, I’d be even happier!

Not bad, but not great

Had a mixed experience with Waterstones. Found a great book I wanted but it took ages to get it delivered. Packaging was off too, didn’t feel secure.
