Pros:

We loved the location, views, staff especially George in housekeeping and Laura front desk!

The bar at top of the bldg was snooty and made us feel like peons using the free drink coupons hotel provided because the one under bar was closed.

A pleasant and hassle free stay with our dog.
Pros:

Excellent location. You can't get better in St Andrews with a view of the 18th fairway and green right outside the window of our nice and spacious room. The bathroom, though luxurious, was not to my taste being a bit Victorian in style (dark green wall tiles) but it probably appeals to the American market which I guess wants something very traditional. The staff were very friendly and attentive. One of the few hotels in the area that welcomes dogs. Overall a very pleasant and hassle free stay, albeit on the pricier side.

Cons:

No milk was supplied with the English breakfast tea, which itself was a bit weak and bordering on colourless. Milk was quickly provided on request but should be automatic in a 5 star hotel of this price and quality. Otherwise, an excellent served breakfast and no buffet - which is as it should be in such an establishment.

Ein wunderbares Erlebnis! Wir kommen wieder!
Pros:

Zimmer waren typisch englisch und hochwertig ausgestattet, auch technisch ok. Prachtvolle Aussicht auf die Golfplätze und Sandstrand. Das Frühstück sehr gemütlich in der hellen Veranda zum Old Course hinaus, wird serviert. Sehr freundliches und sauberes Personal. Die Lage ist nicht zu toppen, nahe zum Zentrum und zu den Golfplätzen. Mit Garage.

Cons:

In der Lobby und im Zimmer war es etwas kühl, wir konnten die Aircondition nicht hinaufdrehen. Aber man gewöhnt sich an das kühle schottische Wetter mit der Zeit.

Fantastic hotel and we will definitely be back!
Pros:

Amazing views of St Andrews from the room.

Roof top restaurant was right above our room (807) and lots of noise with tables and chairs getting moved around up until late in the night.
