Location
If you're heading to St Andrews for a spot of golf or simply to take in the stunning scenery, the Fairmont St Andrews won't disappoint.

Guest reviews of the dinner options at Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland were mixed. Many found the options limited and the Italian restaurant was the only choice besides the bar. However, some guests found the Italian restaurant disappointing and overpriced, while others recommended it. The service in both the Italian restaurant and the bar was often slow and there were several reports of order mix-ups and slow drink service. Prices were also considered high for both food and drink. While some guests enjoyed their meals, others found the food lacking in quality and variety with some dishes being inedible. The decor in the restaurant was also described as outdated. However, the staff were friendly and accommodating when issues with the food or service were brought to their attention. Overall, guests were disappointed with the high cost of dining and drinking at the hotel and many would have preferred more options and better value for money.

Some junior suites on the ground level impress with large floor-to-ceiling windows and fireplaces, while deluxe rooms offer sea views.

In terms of comfort, guests appreciated the large beds and pillows, although some found the pillows too soft or the beds too small. Many highlighted the incredible bathrooms and nearly all remarked on the cleanliness of the rooms. While some found their rooms basic for the money, others were upgraded to junior suites for sheer luxury. Noise could be an issue for those staying near the lift and some families found the room size a little cramped for the price. Nonetheless, for most visitors, the gorgeous setting and facilities made for an excellent stay.

Guests at the Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland had mixed experiences when it comes to the beds.

Overall, guests reported mixed experiences with housekeeping and the cleanliness of certain areas of the hotel. While some areas like the Zephir bar and sports bar toilets were disappointing in terms of hygiene, others were spotlessly clean. The pool area and soft play area were a cause for concern for some due to broken or dirty loungers and unclean changing rooms.

The spa at Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland has received mixed reviews with some guests raving about the exceptional treatments and facilities, while others found them lacking. Many highlighted the friendly and welcoming staff throughout the hotel, including in the spa, which has a nice pool and relaxation rooms. However, there were comments about a shortage of loungers and an odd smell in the steam room. Some guests complained that the pool and spa were overrun with children and lacking in supervision, which detracted from the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, the spa was described as nice, excellent, clean and even luxurious by some guests, but not quite up to par for others.

Pool
The Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland boasts a spa and pool area that is nicely designed and provides a lovely experience for guests. However, some guests found the pool to be slightly dirty and cold. Booking a slot for the pool can be a challenge during peak times and some guests had to rush their experience or were unable to use the pool at all. Additionally, some guests noted that the pool area could be improved with old and dirty loungers that were uncomfortable to sit on. Families should note that the pool area is shared with a children's playroom, leading to some noise and the occasional overcrowding. Overall, while the pool area has its faults, guests can still have a lovely time enjoying the spa and pool facilities at the Fairmont St Andrews.

Family
If you're travelling with children, Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland is a great choice! There are plenty of activities for kids, including a playroom and a swimming pool with a cinema. However, some guests complained about the noise level in the pool area with children jumping and throwing balls without any intervention from staff. Some of the equipment in the kids' playroom was also broken or dirty. On the other hand, the staff made a real effort to welcome children and create a family-friendly atmosphere. The breakfast is reportedly enjoyed by all with the hotel providing cot beds for young children (although there were some complaints about slow service with getting one). Overall, families seemed to have a great time at this hotel, even if some aspects could use a little more attention. Be aware though that they are quite busy, especially with kids, so if you're looking for a more leisurely environment, it might not be the best fit.

5 Star

While some guests praised the hotel's beautiful aesthetics and exceptional service, others were disappointed by what they perceived as a lack of quality for the high prices charged. Several guests felt that the hotel did not live up to its marketed standards with breakfast only deserving a 3 star rating and the restaurant being nowhere close to 5 stars. Some even suggested that prices had been increased since new management had arrived, leaving them feeling robbed. However, despite these negative opinions, there were a few guests who believed that the hotel was truly out of this world and worthy of its 5 star rating. Overall, the experience seemed to be polarizing with the hotel falling below average for some and exceeding expectations for others.
