Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with an excellent view over the Old Course. The service was top-notch, though it had a hiccup with the exit code. The location was convenient, close to the center of St Andrews, and the dining experience had great views but lacked in quality at times. The facilities were superb, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers rooms with a lovely view over the 18th hole but can become overwhelmingly hot. The service is generally excellent, though there was a glitch that led to some inconvenience. The location is conveniently situated near the town center and Edinburgh airport. Dining provides great views of the golf course, and the facilities are well-maintained.
I was pleasantly surprised at check-in as I was upgraded to a room with a nice view along with a couple of small birthday cakes, which was a very nice touch. However, the hotel didn't inform us about needing a code to exit the next day, leading to a little inconvenience. Despite that, the service was efficient, and the staff knew what customer service meant. The location was fantastic, very close to the golf course and offering unbeatable views over the Old Course & St Andrews Bay. The dining experience was pleasant, with well-served snacks and lovely views along the 18th fairway. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying its amazing views and delicious cooked-to-order breakfasts. The recently refurbished room with a very comfortable bed made my experience truly relaxing. However, I did face a small inconvenience with the lack of information at check-out that required me to go back to reception for a code.
The hotel offers stunning views of the Old Course at St Andrews, with recently refurbished rooms featuring a very comfortable bed and a 'walk-in' shower. The service was top-notch, although there was a slight inconvenience with the need for an exit code. The location is perfect for golf lovers and those looking to explore the area. The dining experience had its hits and misses, but overall, it was enjoyable. The facilities provided added to the pleasant stay, making it a good value for money choice.
I couldn't have asked for a better view from my room overlooking the Old Course, but unfortunately, the noisy rad was a major issue that kept me awake. The service was a bit lacking when it came to providing essential information promptly. The hotel's location was superb, offering easy access to various dining options. The dining experience, although with a great view, could have been more satisfying with a better selection of dishes.
The hotel offers breathtaking views over the 18th hole, but there were some service issues that affected our stay. The location is wonderful for golf lovers, with a downside of high prices in the cocktail bar.
The hotel offers a fabulous view of the Old Course and a very relaxing comfortable chair in the rooms, making the stay quite pleasant. However, the bedroom decor could use some sprucing up. The service was good overall, but there were issues with communication. The location is perfect, right in the center of the town. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with excellent views but some disappointing dishes. The facilities were satisfactory, offering the basics for a comfortable stay.
