Found the location very central. Disappointed with the size of the room, a very tight squeeze for two. Facilities such as laundry room excellent. Breakfast decent and substantial. Assistance from Reception Office staff top class. Special mention for Izzie Wood and Jean Rodgers. More

We stayed here for one night in August 2011. First off, it is a dorm room - albeit a pretty nice one - so you have to tailor your expectations to this. The staff was great and very helpful. One of the best aspects of our stay was that it had laundry facilities. We stayed here the night of our... More

The university opens this dorm when classes are not in session. The reception staff was exceptional and were able to help us make the most of our stay. The room was neat and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The free Wi-Fi made it easy to keep in touch with family and friends. This hotel was within easy walking... More

I have come with my husband to a conference at New Hall, where plenty of golf tourists are staying, in addition to conference-goers. The rooms are fine--uni lodging, completely adequate, cheap and cheerful. It is a quick walk to town, 8 minutes. We have enjoyed the bar and the meals. Two things set this place apart from the others, though:... More

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for two nights recently on a short break to St Andrews, and found it to be a perfectly nice place to stop. The location isn't exactly central, but St Andrews is a small town, so it's a comfortable ten minute walk to the town centre, beach or golf course. It's in a... More

We were very impressed with the standards at New Hall. What stood out by far was the friendliness of the staff! It was also great value for money with clean, comfortable rooms, a delicious, varied breakfast, free wifi and plenty of parking spaces. Frankly beats most hotels and guest houses I have been to in the UK. More

My husband and I stayed at the University "New Hall" dorm for our first night of two weeks traveling in Scotland. This is the best value in town by far, with plenty of parking. New Hall also offered the best breakfast (huge selection) in our two weeks here in Scotland. A 3 course dinner is available for an additional charge,... More

Stayed one night for a first visit to St Andrews as part of a longer trip. Checking in was no problem and went straight to our room which although basic had everything we needed for a short stay. Bed was a wee bit hard but overall slept well enough. Breakfast was very good, anything you could wish for and served... More

We came to St. Andrews for a wedding and stayed here. The bride had already booked rooms here so I can't compare prices, but felt it was a little pricey for what we got. It was very minimal. Only one towel and one small container of shampoo was provided. We also had to give a deposit for a hair dryer,... More

If you don't mind staying in a ( huge) , ugly, dorm with no charm than this is fine for you. It's not a hotel, it's not even that nice a dorm. It is very close to town although it's nestled in a new part of campus that could be in the middle of any generic part of any US... More
