Stay was great. We didn’t have any bath items or coffee/tea and it took a long time to get them but otherwise great stay.

8/10 Very good

It's in an amazing location and if you are lucky enough to get a front facing room, you have a fantastic view. Satff were all fab and it was a bonus to have a car park. We did feel the breakfast was expensive and there was no real restaurant to have evening dinner. There is a pub down stairs attached to hotel which was very nice.and they did serve pub type meals. We would def stay there again.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very good location across from the Old Course. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Overall the hotel is very dated, and worn out. It deserves a major renovation to take advantage of its location.
Alexander, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The location of the hotel is very good,also the staff were very nice spoke to the duty manager this morning and explained that the room no 106 was freezing we had to keep our jackets on when in the room so not happy at the price we paid for a really cold room.
Margaret, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Building in need of a make over. Clearly bought for it's location but decor is very dated and needs updated and modernised.

There were divers in the walls and bathroom, the rooms could have been a bit more modern, the rooms could have been better appointed.

Hôtel looking tired. Lots of sticky surfaces. Staff could look more interested. A shame really as the rooms are a great size and the location spot on.

Start with the good points... Hotel in a great position. That's all the good points. Arrived and check in went ok. Went to the room to drop bags off so could explore the area. Came back to the room to discover that we had no lights! So went back down to the r

Outstanding General Manager
There was a mix-up when we arrived and we were sent to a room which was not yet ready. The General Manager sought to resolve the issue quickly and effectively and could not have been more accommodating as we waited. The hotel itself was good but the service of the manager made it great.
Mhairi, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel is flithy. There are holes in the walls, the carpet needs to be vaccumed, the elevator had garbage on the floor. We were told by the person we think is the manager that the new owners intend to renovate the hotel....lets hope so. We had booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1 due to condition of the hotel.
Craig, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Run down, skeleton staff, felt like “ghost hotel” Holes and stains all over walls in bedroom and hallways Dirty marks on bedding, had to be moved to another room Manager who was also waiter and general dogs body was very helpful Receptionist was lovely, friendly and helpful No staff around at all in evening, felt quite strange and unsafe
Lorraine, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

No score for the scores
This hotel is not fit to be open. State of the rooms was horrendous. Breakfast was a joke. Receptionist and waitress were both lovely. Felt really sorry for the having to listen to everyone complaining.
Fiona, 1-night trip

Very nice front desk person, I've been trying to call the hotel for a week I left my jacket in the roo and no on answers. What number do I call ? Thanks

Taxi Service
Everything was excellent until out taxi that was to have been called did not show up. We almost missed our multiple connecting trains...Golf taxi saved the day...and these train tickets were not flexible. I don't know where the breakdown was...ie calling the taxi or the taxi company just not showing up, but in a place like St Andrews with no uber or lift service, efficient reliable taxi service is a no-brainer

2/10 Poor

This hotel has the potential to be a great location for visitors. Instead it is a run-down (American owned) understaffed dump that sits on one of the worlds prime locations. A shabby, poorly-managed & overpriced disappointment that, frankly, was a shock to visit. I very rarely write reviews on forums such as this but felt compelled to warn visitors to look at every other option to stay in St Andrew’s before choosing this place. The owners, Best Western, tend to ruin everything they touch and The Scores is a shining example of that lazy discarded neglect they have come to perfect. I rarely write in these kind of forums but felt compelled to warn potential guests to St Andrew’s that, until The Scores changes owners and shown some care, this is not the place to stay.
