Limpieza
Pros:

La ubicación perfecta. El personal muy simpático y amable.

Cons:

La moqueta de la habitación estaba tan sucia que se te pegaban los pies, había un olor repugnante a calcetín sucio. Las sábanas y toallas, sí estaban limpias.
Además en mi planta, solo había una ducha femenina, que estuvo ocupada todo el tiempo, tuve que subir a otra planta para ducharme.
Los baños sí que estaban bastante limpios.

Pros:

J'ai passé une nuit au McIntosh Hall. L'emplacement à côté de la gare routière et en plein centre est parfait pour visiter St Andrews.
La chambre est très sommaire mais largement suffisante pour une seule nuit. Les sanitaires sont plutôt propres avec peut être juste des petits problèmes de chasse d'eau.
Le petit déjeuner est très copieux.

Cons:

RAS

Great day was there to just play golf so it was perfect
Pros:

It was right across the street from the 18th hole of the old course at Saint Andrews. The bus station is 1000 feet from the front door.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Great location; reasonable price (relative to other options); excellent breakfast.

Cons:

It’s a shame no provision was made for self catering of any sort: no access to a kitchen or a fridge. It’s student accommodation but without the self-catering option.

Terribile
Pros:

Buona posizione.

Cons:

Terribile. Stranissimo odore nelle stanze. Bagni non troppo puliti e atmosfera generale inquietante. Una delle peggiori sistemazioni che ho avuto. Prezzo esagerato per un dormitorio.
