Best Western Scores Hotel

Great trip with friends to play golf where golf began. Hotel was excellent for our location to our golf destinations. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast every morning was great. Walked out front door to see the 1st tee box at the Old Course. Would stay there again. less

The Scores Hotel should request Trip Advisor to enable Hotel and Restaurant reviews to be done separately. Maybe then, more diners will visit at lunchtime. Read On.......This restaurant is situated in a superb location overlooking the West Sands and Royal & Ancient Golf Headquarters. Very comfortable surroundings with stunning views. the Lunchtime menu is very varied and quite extensive and I have to say, great value for money. (2 courses £11.95 and 3 courses £13.95). I must say if you walk past this Hotel, you might think, 'that'll be too pricey and grand for the likes of me?'. How wrong you would be. I watched many people of all ages walk past the hotel unaware of the lunchtime offers. Perhaps the hotel should place an easily viewed advert by the pavement adjacent to the Hotel. Maybe they wish to retain their 'aloof' state....big mistake. I reckon if you totalled up the coarses we chose from the a la carte lunch menu provided, the total for each of us was around £26..all that for £13.95, is a no brainier, especially as the dishes served could not be faulted. We'll be back and if the restaurant is busy, this review will have served it's purpose. less

Very nice hotel with gray location next to the 18th hole of the Old course. Within walking distance of the central ares of St Andrews. Ask for ocean view room and can view West Sands Beach of Chariot of Fire fame. The staff is very attentive and professional. The hotel room appointments and common areas of the hotel are a little dated but strangely this also was also one of the attractive qualities of the hotel. Everything was clean and operational. Breakfast was very good and foods served were typical of Scotland. We never ordered from the menu which had items more typical of American breakfast. Hotel is not inexpensive. Book early. No serious faults with this hotel and will stay there again when we attend our son'e graduation next year. less

Beautiful views. Easy parking. Of course convenient. Bed and linens were fine and clean. BUT it's an OLD hotel. The baths were probably updated 20-30 years ago. Maybe ok if at least they cleaned the mildew from the tiles or washed the dirt from the flimsy shower curtain. The carpets and public areas are worn and frayed. Not at all handicap accessible as there are many steps even to get to the lifts. The area is lovely and I wish this hotel matched the experience. less

My buddies and I arrived late at night from 3 different continents into Edinburgh and staggered into our hotel a couple hours before our 7am tee time at the Old Course. If it weren't for the convenience and coziness of the Scores hotel being right in front of the starter and first tee of the Old Course, my buddies and I would not have enjoyed our version of the British Open as it unfolded across 4 rounds on 4 different courses over 4 days: Day 1: the Old Course; Day 2: Jubilee; Day 3: Castle; and last, but definitely not the least Day 4: Carnoustie. Even though most of our tee times were around 7am, we were still able to have a light breakfast or full Scottish breakfast for the later tee times. I'm addition, after our rounds, everything in Saint Andrews was conveniently walking distance from the Scores, including restaurants, supermarkets, the university and even Old Tom Morris' tomb to pay respects. Highly recommend this convenient and reasonable hotel to anyone looking to spend some time in Saint Andrews... less
