Best Western Scores Hotel

Its literally a 9 iron from the Old Course first tee and a 2 minute walk into Town, and many of its rooms are sea facing. Nothing not to like about the rooms. Breakfast not great and a hilarious German accent female's voice in the elevator! Free parking at rear of property. Have stayed here a number of times and its my "go to" St Andrews hotel when playing golf there. less

The only redeeming feature of this hotel is the location. It is on a stunning site adjacent to the Old Course and minutes from all the amenities of the town. Sadly the traditional features are just a very run down hotel that needs renovated!! less

The views from the hotel cant be argued with and its location is ideal for those visiting the home of golf, however if you are here for a break with friends in terms of value for money and experience there are other hotels or B&Bs in St Andrews which will provide a much better experience for the money. Staff were not entirely hospitable from the outset and we felt we were putting them out by asking if we could leave our bags somewhere safe as we had arrived an hour before check in (the bags were eventually left next to the stairs and no one checked with us when we picked them up). The rooms we had were tired and small on the third floor and ours smelled of what i can only describe as cheap toilet spray which lingered for the stay. The bed was small and uncomfortable the toilet cistern took an age to fill and was very noisy during the night and the shower was nothing more than a trickle. Very tired rooms. The breakfast was dissapointing having to ask for bread for toast, bowls for cereal and then after 10 mins we had to ask for tea and coffee. To top it off the scottish breakfast tasted like it had been microwaved . But seemingly we were lucky to even get breakfast as the day before had been a disaster.... The hotel needs major investment but you get the impression that the attitude from the management team is "why bother when you have a captive audience willing to pay for the location" less

The Scores is literally across the street from the first tee of the Old Course at St Andrews. The rooms are nice and a little quaint. The location is such that there is no noise when sleeping. Also the location is great for exploring the rest of St Andrews. less

We recently stayed here for 2 nights & can't fault the actual hotel in anyway. We had a great room overlooking the sea & golf course. It was a good size & clean. Plenty of toiletries. All staff were very pleasant. There is a lovely bar downstairs with a great selection of local real ales, gins & whiskies. Breakfast was excellent but my only gripe was the meal on our first night. Starters were very good but the main courses were just average. I had a burger which I am sure was microwaved & also the chips were slightly under cooked. However, we would certainly return. Parking is a serious problem in St. Andrews but the hotel as a small car park at the rear which we managed to get into. less
