Top University of St. Andrews Hotel Reviews

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."
