I've stayed at this Fairmont 4 separate times, and keep going back, because their approach to service is just unsurpassed! From Karen who co-ordinates the rooms, to Maureen who is the concierge, to Davey who occasionally drives the shuttle, when I come here they make one feel like they've returned home. The breakfast is also quite good, with a nice... More

We stayed for 2 nights midweek with a groupon package, Once we checked in we went to use the spa facilities. These were very clean and the staff were excellent, especially the Spa Manager as he took the time to show us around and were the facilities were located. the showers in the spa were far superior to the showers...

Have visited the Hotel on numerous occaions for events. In Scotland it is probably the best for conferences and seminars so far as rooms and layout. However food is average, drink expensive(as well as food) and while service is friendly and attentive it is let down by being over priced and so so. More

My wife and I have just returned from an overnight dinner bead and breakfast stay at the Fairmont and both had a really good time. We stayed in a superior room with a sea view and found it clean, spacious, well fitted and very comfortable. The hotel itself is huge and modern, the atrium area is very impressive, everywhere was...

Visited the hotel for a spa day and was very disappointed. In entering the pool area it had no luxurious feeling about it ( I have visited better public swimming pools).The area just looked tired as if it needed painted and loungers needed to be replaced. • Waste paper baskets in the ladies toilets overflowing with paper towels. • Pools...

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Spa. It was very disheartening to hear your comments on our Spa Facilities as we usually receive very positive responses regarding this area and our overall Spa experience. That being said we are undertaking renovations to our Spa area in the next few weeks to further enhance our... More

We were looking for a simple overnight stay in a decent hotel after Christmas and New year and we found it in the Fairmont. Check in was swift although the hotel wasn't that busy. We arrived earlier that the 4pm check-in time(that's a bit late) but our room was ready. The room was very nice, comfortable bed and great view.... More

We stayed for the weekend in Jan and most things abut our stay was fantastic. 2 things took place which in effect spoilt the stay. The management are simply not thinking how customers feel. We stayed in a suite and for the equivalent fee we could have had a week in Spain. This would be fine and I would have... More

We do have a charge for our internet and we are looking to revise this shortly to ensure we are not charging more than everyone in our local area. With regards to your breakfast, it... More

We stayed here just after the British Open (when it was at St. Andrews). Our trip had started badly - cancelled flights, lost luggage, rude airline representatives - so we were a little worn out when we arrived. The staff immediately assisted us with the airlines, and could not have been nicer. The roooms were lovely. Mine was on the... More
