“we love the golf hotel”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Edinburgh
Nov 27, 2007

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights and had a wonderful chilled-out time. The room was beautiful - spacious, clean, in good condition, nice decor (no tartan!). The free-standing bath with a view over the sea was a favourite. The staff were warm, friendly and helpful. The restaurant food was lovely. Breakfast is great too - many choices and can be delivered directly to the room.

The hotel is in an extremely handy location, being minutes away from attractions like the cathedral and castle and round the corner from the centre of the town. It has great sea views (and views of the seals in the aquarium!)

A music system in the room would have been good and maybe a bit more of a choice for vegetarians in the restaurant but other than that it was all fab! Go! Obviously its ideal if you like golf but I would strongly recommend a stay here if you just want some relaxing time and a bit of luxury in a picturesque location

“Memorable”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Scotland
Oct 29, 2007

A lovely hotel with extremely helpful and friendly staff. We stayed in one of the Junior Suites which was spotless and well decorated, the large bay windows gave us a fantastic view out to the beach. We enquired about room service and they were more than happy to oblige, both mornings our breakfast was delivered within 15 minutes of us calling down and it arrived hot. We dined in the restaurant on the Saturday night and we thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine and service provided. We ended the night in the lounge and again we were impressed with the service we received from the young lady behind the bar, there was a wedding on and everyone was obviously extremely busy but the staff were still extremely attentive to our needs. We would definately stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to any of our friends.

“Disappointed”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

Sep 16, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Really wanted to be impressed with this hotel as had read all the reviews on here and elsewhere and was confident it was a good choice. We had a junior suite with lovely bay windows and fantastic sea views. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. There were complimentary apples and bottled water and proper filter coffee too which we thought was a nice touch.The all important bathroom was clean and modern with lovely Molten Brown toiletries. The bar and reception staff were outstanding and the public areas are very welcoming.

Our only disappointment with the hotel was the restaurant. We were shown to a fabulous window table as requested and the service was good right up til the point where our main course was served. My husband's steak was undercooked, red and bloody despite his request for medium/well-done. This perhaps could easily have been rectified if anyone had come over to enquire how our meal was but the staff seemed to vanish. Rather than spoil our meal, he ate round the meat as best he could leaving a fairsize chunk of his £25.00 fillet. The maitre' d did apologise but this was after we had finished.

The next morning at breakfast we had a similar experience in that we were left unattended to for 25 minutes until my husband caught a waiter's eye and we were able to order our breakfast.

These are small gripes in what was overall a good experience. However this was our annual night away without our three children and a nice meal on our own is a very big part of our break. I'm afraid the restaurant staff were not quite as attentive as the other staff members we encountered and as such our stay fell short of what we expected.


There is also quite a bit of noise from the surrounding bars and whilst this did not bother us especially, may not suit everyone.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we appreciate all constructive reviews, in particular those that highlight problems. We were aware of service issues on Saturday night/Sunday morning as we had several staff unexpectedly off ill. I must apologise unreservedly for marring your stay with us and will contact you directly to discuss further. As you have seen from other reviews, this is most definitely not the norm, we pride ourselves on our friendly but unobtrusive service.
