Pros:

Petit hôtel très bien placé MAIS Certaines Rénovations à prévoir en URGENCE ! Fermeture de fenêtre complètement cassé donc elle ne se ferme pas en totalité (bruit froid ). Du coup le prix de chambre cher pour la prestation ! Dommage car personnel sympa, petit déjeuner et dîner pris au pub au dessous de très bonne qualité . bonne ambiance.

Cons:

Précisé si dessus.

Loved it! We will be back!
Pros:

Great location! Everything in town is super accessible. Staff was over the top amazing! They were extremely helpful and kind.

Cons:

You are staying above a pub, so it can be louder at night if your windows are open but it was fine once we closed our windows.

Nice stay in st Andrews. Perfect location.
Pros:

Perfect location. Bed was so comfortable. Room was enormous and a great view out to the beautiful streets of St Andrews. Great breakfast in the morning set us up for the day.

Cons:

No water came through the sink so a bit inconvenient but we used the taps on the bath to wash our hands/face/brush teeth. By the time we had booked in we had an early dinner booked and going to a show so had no time to get it fixed.

Polecam.
Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja. Blisko do sklepów i restauracji w centrum, do Katedry, zamku, na West Sands i East Sands. Pokój i łazienka duże. Wygodne łóżko. Czysto. Przyjemny personel. Smaczne śniadania.
Nie napiszę w "co Ci się nie podobało", że słychać do późnego wieczoru hałas z restauracji i sprzed budynku (stoliki na zewnątrz) bo mimo, że miałam pokój nad wejściem nie przeszkadzało mi to bardzo. Po prostu tak jest. Jeśli ktoś chodzi wcześnie spać albo ma problemy z zaśnięciem to powinien to wziąć pod uwagę i może zapytać przy rezerwacji czy są pokoje z innej strony budynku.
Zarezerwowałam na następny pobyt, bo jest bardzo dobrze.

Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut. Ebenso ist das Frühstück sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Zimmer ist sehr abgewohnt und das Badezimmer ist dringend renovierungsbeduerftig.
Hier stimmt das Preis Leistungsverhältnis überhaupt nicht.

Until they fix the plumbing, stay elsewhere.
Pros:

The location is in town which we really liked. We found parking on the street nearby and could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The staff is excellent.

Cons:

The shower was awful. We were at the end of a 4 week visit to Scotland and had a lot of experience with different shower set ups. There was no temperature regulation, only burning hot. Neither my husband nor I could control the temperature so had to stand outside of the waterline to try to clean ourselves. We stayed only one night so I put up with it.
