Top University of St. Andrews Hotel Reviews

Rufflets St Andrews

10/10 Excellent

"Kirsty must be applauded for being so hospitable and very helpful of my queries. She’s really good of what she is doing. One unfortunate incident was during our breakfast. One of the guy with the green watch treated us as if we’re dirt. No manners at all!!! But the rest of our stay was excellent. As the saying goes goes nothings perfect.!"

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."

Cleveden House by The Dunvegan

10/10 Excellent

"It was really lovely, clean, easy to find and so close to the sea! Great to leave luggage for the day! Only things I noted were no mirror in the bedroom so tricky to get ready when the bathroomwas occupied, no hand towel, no kettle in the room, the lack of a cup of tea in the morning really wasn't good for me. I'm not a coffee drinker so if you are then you're winning! There were nice breakfast pan au chocolates and options for tea but I couldn't figure out the machine to just boil water. Plus, I really didn't want to go downstairs in my pyjamas for a brew all bleary eyed! Honestly though, we really liked it and would stay again."
