We played pool in the main lobby with friends who lived there, for somestrange and clearly stupid reason we are not allowed to play pool with our friends because we are only 14. We got kicked out after 15 minutes with the staff telling us strictly and rudely not to return or try this stunt again. Shocking behavior I expected better

An excellent use of University students accommodation during holiday breaks. Basic, clean rooms with use of restaurant for breakfast. A little stroll from St Andrews Old Course Golf course.

Fife Park and David Russell Apartments are well maintained student accommodations with great food for those with catered plans. The staff is very supportive, and it feels very safe and welcoming.

As a university student I did not enjoy staying here. The place is very noisy, the fire doors keep getting slammed 24 x 4. Multiple fire drills during the week that you have to evacuate the place. The wardens are very rude the majority of the times.

Stayed here a number of times for work. For the price, you can't really beat it in St Andrews where accommodation is so limited. Brekkie is ace too!

Great rooms, clean and well presented. Ideally located not far from town with easy access by car or bus. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of pastries, cereals and cooked breakfast included in the room rate. Would definitely recommend and will happily return again. Great value for money.

Stayed as a staff member in Marconi, in one ensuite room of 5 which shared a kitchen/living space. Comfortable yet basic - keep in mind it's student accommodation so don't expect a hotel. I forgot to bring a hair dryer and didn't look for an iron, but that's another thing to remember that isn't the same as a hotel.

5 of us stayed in a self catering flat. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, reasonably well equipped.Plenty of parking. Staff helpful. 30 minute walk to town, and regular bus service. Good accommodation for the price, relative to what other accommodation in the area costs. Would recommend.

Visited as a guest for the week in May-June and had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. There were lots of vegan options for the breakfast, it was great! The site is nice to stay at with the pond and birds flying around (including swallows!).

Stayed here about 10 years ago with the kids when they were young, it was funky, friendly and just worked. Now it is a little bit tired, a little bit like people have stopped caring, a little bit like someone needs to sort it out. Let's be clear it is student accomodation but if you are going to open it to the public then ...a) clean it b) use some of the money you are making to freshen it up c) hire staff that want to help people d) open the bar during the summer
