Don't stop here if you want a good night's sleep. Constant heavy doors mechanically slamming shut with great force, also not suitable for children due to the risks the room doors pose.

Stayed there while attending a conference that took place on the St Andrews campus. Apparently this is the largest dorm that St Andrews U has to offer and it's available during the summer months when the University is not in session. …

Stayed there as it was a really good price for somewhere to stay in St Andrews. Room was okay, had everything we needed, bed was comfy! Hairdryer was available from reception. Staff were friendly. The thing that made the stay really great though was the breakfast! 😍 anything you could want and more. Cooked food (and things like veggie sausages and haggis), pastries, toast with a big selection of condiments, cheeses and meats, cereals... basically a huge breakfast buffet! Will definitely stay again.

It’s a great place to stay during the holidays. Rooms might be cramped for 2 person but overall great. It’s near a bus stop and a 10 minutes walk from the bus terminal. The breakfast is amazing and full of everything you need to start a good day.

Chose this accommodation as it was cheap at £59 room only for one night. I knew it would be basic as I’ve stayed in similar student accommodation before and it was indeed very basic.  …

Our happy weekend was enhanced by a brilliant experience of great hospitality. The breakfasts were amazing with wonderful service from Rachel and her team. A great welcome at reception, with warm and friendly service throughout. We couldn't have asked for better. Would highly recommend this as an extremely affordable place to stay.
