Pros:

Great location, parking provided and friendly staff.

Cons:

Building is understandably old and therefore the floor boards creak making it difficult to sleep. Very easy to hear the people on the floor above you walking around also. The ventilation in the bathroom was poor also meaning it stayed wet for a long time.

Great location, wasn’t able to try breakfast, wish the water temperature was fixed.
Pros:

The location was great for seeing downtown by walking or driving

Cons:

The water temperature was impossible to get set from scalding or ice cold. There wasn’t much sound proofing of the room either so any shouting on the street (not even beneath from the pub) was very loud in the room.

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.
