Convenient and clean place. But staying on a Friday evening, the bedrooms are just above a loud pub that's open til 1am. (maybe non-weekend nights are better).

St. Andrews gem

Stopped in for one night, check in was a breeze. Great security. We had a lovely view from our room on the second floor, which was a good size, and had a tea pot with the trimmings. The attached pub was brilliant, staff delightful and attentive. The food was delicious-dinner for us was an outstanding pea and mint soup and gorgeous chicken salad. But they had a varied and eclectic menu. Breakfast was included and was outstanding. The location is ideal-walking to the famous St.Andrews course, many stores and restaurants in close proximity to the hotel. Would highly recommend.

Very central location. Riom was very large but the floors were squeaky so you could hear the people walkiing about upstairs. Pub downstairs was quiet untill 11pm when they decided to ramp up the music til it closed at midnight, so got woken up by that. Bathroom in the room needed a good scrub as lots of mould. Staff are nice but there aren't enough of them for everything that needs done.

Lovely 2 night stay! Room was big, warm and comfortable with a king size bed. Bathroom also big and spotless. Breakfast was delicious with great choice of food. Staff very friendly and, even though under pressure the first morning as so busy, remained calm and very friendly. Would definitely stay again

We came to St. Andrews for a little golf and to visit the Castle. The hotel was huge and close to golf and other attractions. The breakfasts and other food offering were solid as well. I had a salad that was very good w/ unique flavors. Thanks

Older hotel over a restaurant/bar in excellent location for walking to all sites. 4 block walk to The Old Course and several golf shops along the way. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Free breakfast was delicious. Rooms older and small as expected. We would definitely stay again. St Andrews is a treasure!
