31 Jul 2026Very nice place to stay. Local bus picks up right outside on the street. Taxis are also easy to call or the front desk will help call for one. Rainy days may delay taxis.
Very good laundry facilities onsite along with a nice restaurant.
Only thing I missed was a hair dryer but it has everything else including great workout facilities.

19 Jul 2026The staff who looked after us were pleasant. The rooms were clean enough—there was a bit of dirt in the tight corners of the bathroom, but nothing to complain about. However, the A/C unit in the room was poorly positioned relative to the sofa. The only thing missing was a pool, given how incredibly hot it was while we were there.

8 Jun 2026For St Andrews this is a clean, modern and convenient space with an excellent amount of space. Highly recommend. Nice walk into town and quiet during my stay but there is a younger student crowd there which is refreshing but might be challenging based on location. It does seem they try to keep the younger and older visitors spaced apart.

12 Jul 2026Not actually a hotel but student accommodation. Very clean, staff lovely but not remotely like hotel. Does not have basics you would expect in a hotel like a hairdryer, soap, a number to call reception etc. if you want clean and basic student accommodation it’s ideal. Room very warm and although it states it has air con it’s centrally control with the coolest setting being 20 degrees which was uncomfortably warm in this recent weather.

31 Jul 2026check-in and check out was great, restaurant inside building was good. only a few complaints, asked for towel to be replaced multiple times - was never given them. over priced for what it was and kitchen supplies were limited to barely anything needed if you wanted to do cooking on your own when it stated you could get them from the front. room was described and shown differently in app from what was given to us. lots of loud high school tours happening (what it seemed like) as well with loud screaming teenagers.

28 May 2026We stayed in the one bedroom apartment for 6 nights. It was a nice large space with a separated kitchen and living space with dining table and a second couch. Shower had nice hot water and good pressure. Fabulous gym on the property called Salt that has classes and open gym options (not included in stay cost, but super convenient location and welcoming staff there). We rented bikes so getting around was not an issue, short 1-1.5 mile ride to downtown area.

11 May 2025We had a lovely stay. Check-in staff were very friendly, lots of parking available & the room was lovely to stay in. Comfy bed (small double was fine for us) Great shower too.

7 Sept 2026This is university student housing that is repurposed into an aparthotel during the summer break. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. I stayed in the separate Bonnybank building on Floor 2 in the back. The room was clean, very nicely sized with a small couch and desk area in addition to the bed and kitchenette, and separate bathroom. The soundproofing from the hallway could be improved but unless you open a window, outside noise wasn’t disturbingly loud. In the main building, there is a laundry room with several machines (download app to use, soap required though other guests left extras). There are also microwaves in the communal room outside the laundry room. I didn’t cook in the room but I did use the plates, cups, cutlery, and refrigerator. There was also a restaurant, Social open on site. There are both an Aldi and M&S grocery store 5-minute drive/15-minute walk away. If you don’t have a car, factor costs for taxis, or an uphill 20-minute walk to city centre.

5 Jun 2026It's very new, so clean. Impressed this old guy as "too funky" at first, but I ended up liking it a lot. Our room (which was actually an efficiency suite) was awesome with a common room, and a "patio". It would be about a mile(and uninspiring) walk into the center of town, but an easy and quick drive there and to the golf course. Excellent amenities. The "wee store" was really nice to have and shockingly reasonably priced.
The signage for directing you to lobby, check-in and parking is confusing at best, but parking was great once you figure it out.

30 Aug 2025Great set up for travelling with friends, as each bedroom was connected to a main living space, but private entries to the sleeping areas from the halls. full kitchens, comfortable beds. Great residential type neighborhood that was still close to everything St Andrews has to offer.

9 Apr 2026The Space To Stay Aparthotel exceeded every expectation! The check-in was easy and the staff were very pleasant. The room was very clean and newly remodeled. We particularly enjoyed the kitchenette with stove and refrigerator and glass doors that opened to an outside patio space. Laundry facilities were available, but we didn't use them. It was a little walk to shopping and the aquarium, but bus and taxi were also options if walking is not your preference. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm visiting St. Andrews and will recommend it to friends and family. The staff really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.

31 May 2025There is not much accommodation in St Andrews which is reasonably priced.
This place was compact yet very practical with all amenities required for a comfortable stay.
It is slightly further out from town but still walking distance and 24 hour reception with very helpful, friendly staff
