St Andrews hotellia

Plussat: Hospitable staff as soon as we arrived the concierge was there with a smile to take our cases . We were early and delighted to be allocated our room right away . Only disappointment was the spa . We had treatments done (nails) . I had to return as they were smudged before I had even got back to the room even though I carried out instructions and sat in the room for an hour . They could not fit me in to get this fixed which was disappointing as my sister had paid £80 for this treatment which was a treat for my 50 th birthday . I had to remove the polish the next day as it was visibly a mess .. no reflection on the hotel or the staff just very disappointing

Miinukset: See above

Plussat: Lovely views of the North Sea and presumably great golf courses. My suite was quite large and pretty comfortable

Miinukset: Mostly disliked the atrium which by its design and its decor made it feel like a second tier convention hotel. Compared to its closest competitor in town, the Old Course, the Fairmont was decidedly lacking in style and distinction. The common rooms (restaurants, bars,...) have no character or luxurious feeling to them.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and kind, was a very welcoming hotel. Rooms were beautiful and hotel restaurant was one of the Italian meals we have ever had. If you love golf, relaxing and ocean views this hotel is a must!

Plussat: Staff very accommodating

Plussat: Great vibe about the property. All staff encountered were exceptional

Plussat: Very friendly staff and excellent facilities. Dog friendly. Lovely views and walks from the door. Our room was excellent -spacious, bright and with a large and beautiful bathroom. Very nice spa.

Miinukset: Places to eat with my dog were a bit limited.

Plussat: Booked last minute for a Friday & Saturday night for a family of 4. Great place for a rest and pool was very well received by us all. Bar’s, food and breakfast were all good. Sports Bar was good with free pool and free darts. Free shuttle bus in to St Andrews was also very good. Overall it was a great hotel for a nice little break, and I’m sure of we’d had played the on site golf courses would have been good too.

Miinukset: Kid options weren’t great, with the ‘play area’ offering computer games (Xbox & retro) and a tiny soft play. My 8 and 5 year old weren’t that bothered and 4 x Xbox’s had 1 x controller connected and 1 x controller not connected.

Plussat: The staff throughout hotel and venues we're incredible.

Miinukset: Air conditioning was not working.

Miinukset: Kylpylän hinta/laatusuhde ei ihan kohdannut odotuksia.

Plussat: Stunning hotel. Staff go the extra mile for their guests. Restaurants and bars aplenty with a variety of choice. The Jigger. A golfing institution. Spa. Incredible.

Miinukset: Prices generally steep but sometimes in life you get what you pay for.

Plussat: Hotel was amazing, can't fault it

Plussat: Room had a really great view of the old course and beach beyond . The room was exceptionally comfortable and the spa and pool were outstanding. Breakfast was a delight.

Miinukset: I only booked for 2 nights.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was lovely and the bathroom. Big an spacious

Miinukset: Room was very hot. Very dirty carpet when sitting at a corner table in the bar with a lovely view. Could have down with just a quick Hoover of all the crumbs on the floor left from previous customers ...carpet was dark purple so it really showed the mess

Plussat: view from room

Plussat: Magnificent views of old course and west sands. Excellent breakfast and very, very friendly staff.

Miinukset: There's an upgrade about to start, which is needed as parts of the fabric area bit tired in places.

Plussat: Relaxed atmosphere, proximity to town facilities, view of St Andrews Old Course and beach area.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Its situation.

Miinukset:

Plussat: location of hotel

Miinukset: room extremely hot

Plussat: Wonderful place, so elegant and great location. Peaceful rooms, very comfy and lovely toiletries. Staff were friendly and helpful and bags were in the room when we got there.

Miinukset: The heat in the bar was unbelievable - felt like I was sat in a furnace. Breakfast staff also need to be more alert - we had to chase them to order, as did other diners, and chase them for items like butter that were missing off some tables

Plussat: Spacious with a very comfortable bed and decent pillows. Large TV, mini bar with milk for tea and coffee in room

Miinukset: I would have found a mirror for make up in the bathroom very welcome

Plussat: Great location, beautiful room and breakfast. Good food and wonderful staff

Was told there was no deserts

Plussat: Lovely hotel and very friendly staff

Miinukset: Kitchen seemed to be a bit slow

Miinukset: Hotel is in serious need of renovation. Beds were old and uncomfortable. Furniture was threadbare to point that the chairs in room were ripped.

Miinukset: Decor is a little tired but I m sure it will get looked at shortly!

Plussat: central location not great for parking comfy bed and pillows lovely view from the window

Miinukset: room very warm radiator not on had to put on the fan that was in the wardrobe and open the window when using the shower

Plussat: Hotel is well located. Right beside the beach and couple minutes walk from centre of St. Andrews. Hotel is very clean, good room overlooking the beach, staff very friendly and professional. Good choice for breakfast, the full breakfast will keep you going all day. Evening dinner is good, and fair priced, as are drinks.

Miinukset: Nothing. No complaints.

Plussat: Excellent Staff, friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Location and gardens are fabulous, rooms comfortable

Plussat: Beautiful location . Hotel welcoming and comfortable. Staff great.Rooms and en-suite very good.

Miinukset: Food in the restaurant uninspiring and bland despite the menu. Good presentation but didn’t meet expectations with taste.

Plussat: Room lovely

Miinukset: Poor dining room service and no apology for this and no one came to ask if we were enjoying dinner!

Plussat: Breakfast was good and plenty of choices .the staff very helpful

Miinukset: Nothing all good

Plussat: Peaceful setting and friendly staff

Plussat: Excellent dinner and breakfast. Very comfortable bedrooms. Friendly staff team

Miinukset: No negatives.

Plussat: Beautiful interior design

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely country house setting, beautiful gardens, cosy, stylish rooms. Service is excellent and food is amazing. Attention to details like a do not disturb teddy to sit outside your door and a hot water bottle in your bed when you return from dinner on a cold night. A real treat.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Beautiful garden in the back, make sure you stroll through it at least once.

Plussat: Home from home, hot water bottle put in bed at turndown service, lovely room

Plussat: The food was amazing. The staff couldn't have been any more helpful. The gardens will be beautiful in summer.

Miinukset: It was further out of St Andrews than I had realised, but that's probably my inattention to detail. The paintwork was a bit shabby in places, Room 23 bathroom door was very chipped.

Plussat: We have stayed at this location before and it is good value well located and the staff are very friendly. The room was extra large and had everything we needed. The breakfasts are individually cooked not kept hot and more than you can eat.

Miinukset: This is a Greene King bar and restaurant and bearing in mind the cost just as you would expect. The bar is well stocked with a range of gins and beers. We did not eat there but heard good feedback

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No car parking.

Plussat: Location was perfect for city centre. Nice atmosphere and great hotel room with the space. Would happily go visit again and really appreciated the staff.

Miinukset: Beds a little firm and could have had more parking, but that's ultimately out of the pub's control. Designated parking spaces would be perfect for my stau

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: Smelly. Perfumed. Hot. A/c was not working well.

Plussat: Great place friendly staff great breakfast

Miinukset: Only complaint noises air conditioner

Plussat: Excellent service staff so welcoming rooms where perfect fresh breakfast set us up for the day will definitely recommend to friends and family

Miinukset: Nothing comes to mind just keep doing what you're doing

Plussat: Breakfast was very good...excellent choice, fresh cooked breakfast, plenty of extras and served with a smile!

Miinukset: The room window was very draughty and there was no double glazing which meant it was also noisy !

Plussat: Convenient, but noisy

Miinukset: Good location in centre of St Andrews and comfortable enough with good rooms. Only drawback is that the rooms are very noisy, old floors creaking at the slightest movement anywhere in the hall ways or the floor above.

Plussat: The Greyfriars Inn was great, all staff very friendly, our room was excellent, the only problem was the breakfast. We only ate breakfast one morning out of three, this was due to the fact that the cooked breakfast was of poor quality in regards to the food, i.e. bacon, sausage etc. You could also chose cereal as well which was fine but when we go away for a few days we tend to enjoy the cooked breakfasts as we don't have them on a regular basis at home. Buying better quality produce would solve this and wouldn't cost the earth.

Miinukset: The hotel itself is fantastic, staff are great and the location is spot on.

Plussat: Great location in the centre of St Andrews. Homely feel.

Miinukset: My room was on the ground floor close to reception. I was woken by guests returning at 3.00 am and 5.00 am. The room was cramped, in particular the shower / bathroom was very small and smelled of damp.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti ja perushuone.

Miinukset: Aamiaisella ei selkeää ohjeistusta miten toimitaan. Menin istumaan pöytään, johon hain paahtoleipää ja hedelmiä. Kahvi oli huoneen perällä, mutta se oli vasta tulossa. Vasta 10 min päästä tuli tarjoilija kysymään että millaisen aamupalan haluan? Vaihtoehdot löytyi listalta. No enpä niitä nähnyt kun silmälasit olivat huoneessa. Vihdoin kun kahvi valmistui, niin se tarjoiltiin kaikille muille paitsi minulle. Erikseen pyytämällä sitä sain. Aamiaishuone tosi pieni, ehkä 20 hlölle.

Plussat: Comfortable cosy room looking out onto roof and garden. Very clean and a great shower. The staff were very friendly. Location was fantastic.

Miinukset: The room was extremely small, smaller than I expected for the price we paid.

Plussat: Breakfast at this hotel is excellent. A range of hot food options and beautifully presented. (I actually had my graduation lunch in this hotel and the food is as good as I remember it to be.) My room had a balcony which was excellent as the weather was good. The furnishings could possibly do with being refreshed although the wooden furniture was really nice. Very rustic and authentic. St Andrews is fabulous to visit. This hotel is right opposite St Salvators Church and Quadrangle (very famous in St Andrews). It is also near the cinema and the Scores. (The West Sands, made famous by Chariots of Fire, can be seen from the Scores). Those wishing to visit St Andrews Cathedral will also find this within easy walking distance!

Miinukset: Lock on balcony door and sofa being squashy!

Plussat: Steps from where the bus dropped us, a block from market st., two blocks from university admissions, the castle and cathedral, the perfect location. The staff ware great.well maintained and clean. Great breakfast - try the haggis.

Miinukset: A bit Expensive

Plussat: Location is fantastic. Good value. Lovely staff.

Plussat: staff were super helpful , friendly and kind. Really appreciated they lit the fire on a cold rainy day. We'll be back!

Plussat: The room was lovely and had a pretty outlook onto a contained courtyard. The staff were very welcoming and the breakfast was amazing! We had a full scottish and it was just the right size to be filling but not too heavy. Also lots of non-cooked breakfast options.

Miinukset: Minor thing - the sink in our ensuite was a funny shape and so I kept soaking the floor trying to wash my hands!

Plussat: Bed were very, very comfy!

Miinukset: Nothing, was excellent

Plussat: Erittäin hyvä sijainti. Pieni ja viihtyisä! Erinomainen aamiainen.

Plussat: Loved everything about this hotel. Staff were excellent. Room was beautiful & location of hotel cannot be beat! Will definitely return

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent room (walk-in shower, separate sitting room). TVs in sitting room and bedroom. Heating worked well all round.

Miinukset: WiFi seemed patchy, though there was good 4G signal so not a major problem.

Plussat: The location is very central, the rooms are nicely decorated and the staff are very friendly.

Miinukset: Very disappointed that on a two day stay of Tuesday and Wednesday, nothing was open on the Tuesday in the hotel. No bar or restaurant (it does tell you this on the website - but we hadn't noticed it) Then on Wednesday when the restaurant was open we couldn't get a table! On top of that we were in room 1 and when the restaurant is open the extractor fan outside the window keeps you awake. I did expect it to be turned off at some point but it wasn't. When I complained I was offered a free night stay - however I have no intention of returning so took a discount instead. This isn't really a hotel, but more of a restaurant with rooms. We felt completely misled about this being a 5 star property - it is not. We moved to the Fairmont which is a genuine 5 star hotel.

Plussat: Nice decor

Miinukset: Nothing particularly five star about it.

Plussat: The hotel room/suite was extremely comfortable with a fantastic shower. Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent. The location was ideal, less than 5mins walk from town centre and from the fabulous West Sands beach. Staff were very polite and helpful.

Plussat: Cozy and very personal.

Miinukset: Nothing....

Plussat: Spacious comfy beds lovely decor bathroom to dye for beautiful breakfast

Miinukset: Having to leave

Plussat: Loved it!

Miinukset: Warm friendly people that run it.

Plussat: Pleasant breakfast room. Pleasant owner. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was well equipped.

Miinukset: The toilet had trouble flushing properly. The cooked breakfast came at the same time as the cereal! The sitting room was frequently occupied by a member of the owner's family. No tourist information available.

Plussat: Fantastic location and accomadation

Miinukset: Very clean and friendly 5*

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent; room was warm comfortable and clean, bathroom too; staff were all very kind and helpful; dinner menu was good; spacious car park; relaxing environment

Miinukset: Better coffee sachets in the room.. that is all!

Plussat: Food in restaurant was very good and nice breakfast - we were only guests for dinner and they made up fire for us but was cold for breakfast in morning Room was basic but clean - hairdryer and iron provided. Shower had good pressure.

Miinukset: Accommodation dated and a bit basic - would describe as cheap and cheerful No local beers and no beer at all available on tap No bath mat provided to prevent slips or to step out shower

Plussat: Location, choice on menu and quality of food good ,great parking. The helpful female staff member serving breakfast on our first morning ,friendly , attentive and efficient .

Miinukset: Room was dirty, with human and dog hair from previous occupants and layer of dust on surfaces, chipped paint on floor, and in the bathroom the wall tiles and glass shelf were marked ,and only 2 quarter rolls of toilet paper. though issue was addressed ,the accommodation looked well worn, with a broken blind and rotten wood on the window frame. We asked asked as a gesture of goodwill if we could have a discount on our dinner to compensate and was refused point blank. Tumblers on table for water were filthy and when I brought this to managers attention he said it needed a polish. On the second morning of our two night stay I chose to have some fruit juice ,trying to find a clean polished glass from self service selection available was impossible. My partner chose porridge which arrived along with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for me ,however it was perfectly obvious we had not finished our cereal or fruit, the cooked breakfast was more or less thrust at us, by the manager without apology. The coffee in the cafetiere served both mornings was possibly the worst coffee we have ever had.

Plussat: Meals and service.

Miinukset: Rather cold.

Plussat: The Welcome other than that. Nothing !

Miinukset: Evening meal prices ! Very slow breakfast one person doing everything. Breakfast poor quality.

Plussat: What a fabulous place to stay! Exceptionally friendly owners and staff,which transpired into the general atmosphere of the place i.e warm and friendly.Rooms were very clean and comfortable.A good help yourself breakfast with a comprehensive variety of food and all diets catered for.We booked in for dinner on the nights we were staying and the food and service were excellent.Food is home cooked and ingredients sourced from local suppliers.After our evening meal we enjoyed a few drinks sitting next to a roaring log fire which was the perfect end to a very cold February day.Our dog was made welcome too.Would highly recommend and hope to be back to stay soon.

Miinukset: Nothing to criticise

Plussat: By far the best B and B we’ve stayed in! Beautiful old pub with luxurious rooms. So clean too. Breakfast was brilliant with Loads of choice and fresh produce. Would have a stayed another night if we could. We were well looked after by the owners too. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the stay was fantastic, would highly recommend Annette and Maxx could not do more for you, brilliant place to stay. The food was incredible and the breakfast was fantastic (some other big hotel chains could take a lesson from these guys). Special shout out to Kerrie, the lady who looked after us at our meal, what a wonderful person she could not do enough for us, nothing at all was too much trouble. She is an asset to this inn.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Buffet breakfast was very good. Pleasant surprise to have hot options - thought it was going to be continental only. Room was lovely - fabulous comfy bed. Lots of lovely unexpected touches eg. fresh milk in the fridge! Friendly, helpful staff.

Miinukset: A wee bit tight for space in dining room and bar but not a lot can be done about that I imagine.

Plussat: Beds very comfy rooms very clean. Staff lovely. Dinner was lovely.

Miinukset: Breakfast only available between 8/9 which is very limited. Also a cooked breakfast would have been a great option.

Miinukset: The weather.

Plussat: The views and the breakfast. Our room was a good size. Amazing shower.

Miinukset: I found the bed uncomfortable. It was a strange set up with two sheets across the bed. No mattress topper, just the mattress under the sheets.

Plussat: The double bed was kinda small. Its standard size only.

Plussat: good breakfast poor lighting outside on approach to room

Plussat: Good value accommodation, breakfast good and staff polite and helpful

Plussat: Sijainti on erinomainen

Miinukset: Aamiainen ei ollut kehuttava, jos ei syönyt skottiaamiaista.

Plussat: Location, food and staff

Miinukset: Bedrooms a little tired and dated but rest of the experience more than makes up for it

Plussat: The location was perfect - right in the middle of things. The breakfast was excellent. The room was clean and friendly and the staff were excellent.

Miinukset: We stayed in a top floor room during a weekend of severe wind storms and our room was absolutely freezing, even with the radiators on full. The wind seemed to find its way in through the windows. The staff very kindly supplied us with a heater, after which we were fine.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, so was location

Miinukset: Very small room. Incredibly uncomfortable basic bed, impossible to sleep with 2 people. Bathroom very basic and not that clean.

Plussat: It's what you'd expect from a University Dorm renting out rooms for the summer. Clean room, with modern facilities Breakfast from the cafeteria was fairly good as well

Miinukset: Must pay for WiFi While it's not that far from any major sites/restaurants, it's location is out on the west edge of the town.

Miinukset: Nothing really

Miinukset: I have no complaints.

Plussat: Loved the huge range at breakfast and the café / bar. Location was convenient. Room was fine - never had double beds and ensuites in my day at St Andrews !!! Best bit was just being back in a place with a university feel after 37 years away ! Bonus Q1 should include "Re-connecting with university memories" ! bacon role in the students union - fab !

Miinukset: Thin walls as ever !!! … and I paid £82 on booking.com for sole occupancy and found that had I booked direct, it was £62. Grrrrrrrrr !

Plussat: All of the staff we met were super friendly - especially Louise in the Bistro - and dinner there was excellent !

Plussat: It's nice to be back 7 yrs after graduation. There are upgrades in the kitchen.

Miinukset: Nothing bad. A friendly note for everyone that you need to take your own hair dryer.
