St Andrews Town Hotel

it was a bed and...

Liked: Breakfast
Disliked: lack of air conditioning or even a fan

Very good

Spacious, but not Peaceful

Liked: The room was very spacious! Friendly Staff
Disliked: I don’t know what all the banging was above us it was loud footsteps and running around, so I wouldn’t say our stay was as peaceful as expected, it seemed there was a lot of building work going on and we were put into a room where you could see builders outside our window going back and fourth to and from the building. Not sure what was going on but didn’t feel very private when they were peering in the window. Tried to contact the staff but no reply because I was comfortably in my nightwear and didn’t want to go to the front desk. Just sad when our Homelife neighbours are like that with the banging around but came away from another Town and Travelled for a peaceful time away to escape and it wasn’t. I was also quite disappointed that the building didn’t look much like the photo with the ivy leaves and flowers, it seemed it had all been ripped down. Such a shame really, was looking forward to a good picture opportunity. Also no fan or air conditioning! That’s a must.

A good place to stay...

Liked: My room was nice & simple for a single person, and very cool (temperature wise).Only had breakfast there twice, no dinners, but the food I had was lovely.
Disliked: It doesn’t look like it’s advertised photo anymore. All of the ivy has been torn off the building, so now it looks dull on the exterior. Also the driveway and parking area wasn’t well kept and there was rubble left in piles to one side.Some litter spotted around entrance.The decor inside, particularly the corridors look dated and tired.It wasn’t explained to me on check-in how to ‘activate’ the electricity for my room.Also, the hot breakfast is quite small. I ordered bacon with mine the first morning and only got 1 slice. The second morning I asked for extra bacon - I still got one slice but an extra hash brown (?).Staff very friendly but didn’t seem to be very confident in their tone.
