Descubra sua estadia em St Andrews

We originally visited Fairmont St Andrews in August 2021 since we could not visit the country of our choice due to the pandemic. We were super impressed with it, so much so, that we decided to revisit this August. We looked at other options such as rental homes and other hotels but nothing came out as giving us value for money. Rental homes don't have the benefits of a hotel and its facilities and other hotels were charging ridiculous prices as a like for like basis. The Fairmont in St Andrews came out the best value for money. We enjoy the Fairmont as it has the feeling of a resort hotel abroad. The service is spot on too. Just little niggles - that come from having previously stayed - so it is human nature to compare. This time I felt the cleanliness of the rooms was not as good. It was only some dust in the room and in the bathroom so it was not worth complaining about to reception. Secondly, and this come from maybe you being short staffed, is that the breakfast plates on tables were allowed to accumulate to the state where it did look quite untidy. I'm only mentioning these things to you in order for you to nip them in the bud and not allow a decline in standards over a longer period of time. Overall our stay was great. Breakfast is sufficient enough to keep you going until dinner. The atrium is a relaxing place to read a book and play cards. The swimming pool and spa facilities keep a family entertained. Thank you for another enjoyable staycation. Joanne

Where else to stay in St Andrews than in a room over looking the Old Course? There is little to fault about the hotel. Great, spacious, well appointed room. Excellent breakfast and all the associated things you need in a 5 star hotel. Topped off with an amazing whisky selection in the Road Hole bar overlooking the course. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it, and they were super accommodating and understanding when we needed to change our reservation from May to September at very short notice.

On December 11, we traveled to St Andrew, and Rusacks was a perfect choice. Our car broke down. As we couldn't get it started, we asked the staff for assistance. Mr. Ccllum who was at reception came to inspect our car, and he also called his colleagues to help. We feel so warm that they reached out to us! Since the car was still unable to start, Mr. Ccllum assisted us to contact the car company and helpline. Under his help, the helpline came to repair the car that evening, but they still didn't figure out what caused the breakdown. Because we need to return to Edinburgh the next morning, the car company suggested that we leave the key at the reception, and they would come later to take the car. Mr. Ccllum agreed to keep the key for us. Luckily, the helpline took the car away at last, and we reached the railway station with Mr. Ccllum’s help. The night came so fast and the weather was cold. Fortunately, we were safe due to the assistance of Mr. Ccllum and his colleagues. Many thanks for their kindness! We are so lucky to choose Rusacks!

The hotel has a very good location, and their service is really nice!

Love the hotel! Nice and neat, staffs are friendly! Strong recommend! Breakfast is good

The hotel is not big, the location is just across the road from the old campus of St. Andrews University, very close to the commercial street and not far from the old stadium. The breakfast can be said to be relatively rich, there are several kinds of regular meals, and special, which changes with the seasons. The restaurant is almost full on weekends when there is a lot of people, and it is usually better. On-street parking outside the door is free but there is no private parking lot. It is easy to have a place during school holidays. I don’t know at other times.

Day trip to St Andrews with my parents and fancied a bite to eat. Well firstly I must say that all followers know that we dont mind paying good money for good food but £49.16 just for 4 fish and chips and that was before drinks. We had to wait 20mins for the food and we feel it wasn't worth the money. Yes we understand that St Andrews has a reputation for being up market and welcomes a lot of tourists and visitors (especially when the golf is on or other special occasions) but I am afraid to say that for a standard plate of fish and chips and the fact that the table was not large enough to cater for the plates for four people then this is where the Greyfriars Inn falls down. Yes my parents are elderly and my mum is a little wandered and people were staring which is very rude but not managements fault as you cannot help the clientele you have, I did try and chase up the meal as mum gets agitated if she has to wait and did not want her to cause a fuss for the sake of the pub itself. She deserves as much as anybody to eat out as do all disabled people. There did not seem to be enough staff as we were told they were very busy as had a full restaurant around the corner too. If it hadnt been for my parents being infirm and they needed to have lunch we would have left before being served. We didnt feel welcome at all and that is a very sad reflection on this establishment . Again sorry there are no photos but my parents in their 80's dont like mobile phones at the table. It was their treat. All in all not a great experience.
