It fitted the bill perfectly for one night meeting up with friends. The room was very comfortable although on the small side but very clean and the breakfast was excellent. Everything was very fresh and my husband loved the non greasy excellent cooked breakfast.

The room and en suite were a good size and clean, except for the soap holder. The staff were extremely helpful (one got my mobile attached to wifi) and topped up milk and tea supplies. The amazing breakfast set us up for the day and the staff were friendly and gave assistance when asked. Accommodation to be recommended.

The location is great, just a 10-15 minute walk to the shops, golf and other sites.

For the rest of this review, understand that this is a university dormitory - so it should be understood that you're not staying at a high-end or boutique hotel.

The rooms are small, but suffice for 1-2 people with average luggage looking for an economical place to stay. (If you had 2 people with luggage and golf bags it would get a bit tight.)

The TV is small, and there is only one chair/seating area other than on the bed. Bring an extra towel and shampoo/soap as there is only one medium towel + one hand towel provided. Mini bottle of shampoo and small bar of soap.

Biggest issue during summer would be no air conditioning. There is a window, but with any humidity or temps in the 75(F)+/24(C)+ range it will likely get uncomfortable. There is a small vent in the bathroom that runs quietly all the time, but that doesn't circulate much air. Luckily, during my stay (mid-July) the local temps stayed in the 63-70 (17-21) range except for one day.

The bar/restaurant off the main lobby were comfortable and offered some quick and tasty bar-type food (burgers, pizza, beer, etc.) and breakfast was served in the adjacent cafeteria.

Overall my stay was pleasant, and as long as you're not expecting luxury accommodations and simply need a place to sleep and wind-down at the end of the day, this should suffice.

It’s a nice place is your a kid with no money and need a place to stay. The name describes the place well and it’s a simple dorm room. Not too far from restaurants and pubs. If you can afford to play golf it’s probably a little underwhelming.

Room far too small for two people who are travelling for some time with luggage.

Poor ventilation in room- very stuffy. The one tiny window would not stay open due to a broken hinge. Reported but not repaired.

Quick Trip to St Andrews

As one of the other reviews says \"you are staying in a dorm room\". But it is a really nice dorm with a really friendly staff. The bar has a good selection of items to eat and drink for dinner. The breakfast was really good. Location is within a 10 minute walk to the bus station and town. The buses worked out well for getting around to some of the towns near by. Would definitely stay here again!

Don't plan on the cafe bar

The people at reception were very nice & helpful. The cafe bar was supposed to serve food until 9pm but when we went in to order something they said they had stopped serving 15 minutes ago (8:30pm). They told us we could get food delivered but didn't have any menus or places that would delivery. This was very disappointing because after a long day on the road we just wanted to get something to eat & relax.

Excellent price for St Andrews

Very basic room - bed, wardrobe, desk and little bathroom - but great value for money. It's a 5 minute walk to the golf course and 15-20 minute walk into the town. Unfortunately our shower was freezing cold and the pressure really low which was the only real negative about the room. The breakfast was varied but not very flash, again ok for the money. Parking was a breeze and the staff were lovely. It's simple, basic accommodation for a cheap price - basically you get what you pay for. I would stay here again next time we're in St. Andrews

Give this place a go!

Graduation ceremony at the University. Agnes Blackadder Hall is a great place to stay and definitely value for money. The breakfast offers a wide range of quality food and is a must if you decide to stay. I believe that the place was fully booked out but it was amazingly quiet along the many corridors.
The location is also ideal and it is not a long walk to the Centre of St Andrews. If you are a golfer then it is only a short walk to The Old Course and the surrounding courses.

Good, Cost-Effective Option Close to St. Andrews

This place didn't feel like a residence-type accommodation. The staff were grade-A, darn near perfect. Pleasing and welcoming no matter when or what. The rooms were spacious and didn't undertake that prison-like feel that most places like this do. The breakfast is a nice, hearty touch. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A Dorm But A Whole Lot More For The Money

As long as you understand you're staying in a college dorm, you'll be fine with this accommodation. Rooms are en suite so no bathroom in the hall. Great cafeteria breakfast with all the Scottish breakfast goodies--scrambled and fried eggs, bacon, sausage, black pudding, broiled tomatos, mushrooms, baked beans, pastries, breads, fruits, cereals, porridge, juice, tea, and coffee. Washer and dryer on site. Wifi is free but may be a bit difficult to figure out at first as the dorms also have a restricted wifi network for students. Just keep looking because there's also a free wifi network for tourists as well.
