Top University of St. Andrews Hotel Reviews

The Albany Hotel St Andrews

10/10 Excellent

"No ice for our room for refreshments."

Old Course Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel super friendly and helpful staff first class housekeeping and spacious rooms. Knocked a star off as the policy of not allowing guests to bring one bottle of wine and pay corkage struck me as weird for a hotel of this standard. We had a bottle which was special to us but we were not allowed to have it."

5Pilmourplace

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations are incredible. Very short walk to the Old course. We are not serious walkers and made it door to 18th green in 2 mins. Staff were unbelievable and should be able to give 10 stars out of 5 for service! They were amazing. Highly recommend this property for anyone staying in St Andrew’s. Location is absolutely perfect with easy access to all that St Andrews has to offer. Rooms are stunning and some of the best accommodations we had on our Europe trip. Much better than the chain hotels. Difficult to find parking but that seems to be the case all over St Andrew’s and the hotel staff were very helpful in finding us a spot."

Premier Inn St Andrews

10/10 Excellent

"We were looking for a reasonably priced hotel that provided a nice bed and a hot shower. We were not interested in anything more than this. We accomplished that here and the food in the restaurant was very good. There were 7 of us. Everyone was pleased."

St Andrews 5 Star Luxury Villa, Garden SPA HotTub, Sauna, Steam Room & parking

10/10 Excellent

"This was a one of a kid property. I’ve been to St. Andrew’s 5 times and nothing compares to this home. I’m coming back next year. I absolutely loved our hosts and the property."

The House of Golf St Andrews

10/10 Excellent

"Kevin is a great host! He would check in on us and was a wealth of local knowledge. We would come back!!"
