Everthing was outstanding. Staff were friendly, the hotel gave my son a teddy for his first time visiting which he loves and we got cakes in the room for my wife’s birthday. Cannot fault anything

Staff was exceptional. Harri met us at the driveway and couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful. Jamie at concierge was delightful and informative. All the staff were professional
Elissa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We love the Fairmont. It is our favourite hotel in Scotland however the standard of the breakfast available has reduced over the last few years. It is still a lovely spread but when you set the bar high and it then drops you know it can be better. Simply put the fruit on offer at a 5 star hotel for breakfast is not good enough. No berries, kiwi or other fresh fruit that is normally available at other hotels of similar standard. Only melon and orange and apple slices available this morning

A mixed bag

Really stunning surroundings. Rooms and some public areas are very tired. Staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming. Poor food choices and extortionate prices. A pint of Moretti £8.50!! Breakfast was good with variety and quality ingredients and staff coped well with the volume of guests due to the holidays
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Slightly disappointed this time!

We have stayed at this hotel several times in recent years. Tinged with slight disappointment! We really enjoy staying at this hotel and the staff are excellent. However, our rooms made us question the price as we felt the rooms were not up to the standard we expected from a five star hotel.
Paul, 4-night trip

First Class, Welcoming & Excellent

There for a romantic stay and the hotel was beautiful, especially with all their stunning Christmas decorations. Service was absolutely first class: friendly, helpful, warm, welcoming and just made us feel special and pampered. Yes it’s a hotel of the highest standards but you don’t feel in any way uncomfortable - just like a beautiful big house with lots of people looking after you for two days. Huge credit to management and more importantly the staff.

Restful at St Andrews

Always enjoy staying at the Fairmont hotel and this stay was no exception. Very relaxing, great food and weather ok too. Staff always warm and friendly and nothing too much trouble. The on-site ice machines were being replaced and had to call the reception for a bucket of ice which was delivered with a smile each night.
Craig, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful surrounding property and views of the sea. The rooms are old and could’ve been cleaner. Went to the spa in the evening to use the facilities and it was extremely dirty and unkept. Didn't even attempt to find the sauna it was so dirty in the locker room which was very unlike other Fairmonts i’ve stayed at.
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Oh yes. This is 5 star done right.

From driving up to driving away this was everything you could expect. The team on the front desk was a young English man and a young Ugandan woman. Both were impeccable in presentation and communication with an ability to let me feel comfortable.
Alexander, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We got a studio room and as soon as we walked in we spotted the sofa was covered in dog hair. Unbelievable The porter went and got a cleaner who hoovered it then we were asked to vacate the room while they had another go at cleaning on our time. We got one free drink each for this. I did ask to move rooms but no. I struggle to understand if these rooms are cleaned properly between customers how was this missed? It was covered in dog hair not just a few bits
Ross, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is stunning and our room was clean but very very dusty, I could have written my name in the dust on the bedside table. The service in the bar is also very very slow and it was not overly busy. We waited over 30 minutes for our drinks.
Jenny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

5 star hotel not at 5 star standards

The grounds are amazing. We ate at the clubhouse and the food and service were mediocre. There was a table of 8 in at the same time as us (no others) and it was mid afternoon. We waited 20min to be served and when we asked to be served, we were asked to wait another 5min. Food was very sub standard and not worth the price at all! The views however, incredible. Unfortunately service inside was similar. BUT reception and concierge were INCREDIBLE!!!! So helpful and went out of their way.

Cleanliness

Hotel was ok, service in bar was appalling had to wait 30mins for a couple of soft drinks. Staff just didn’t know what they were doing. Bedroom carpets need a very good deep clean , bathroom sink drain was filthy. Shower drains in the area before entering pool were disgusting so dirty and it all smelled very badly. Changing rooms very smelly and floors not clean. Toilets down at auditorium looked liked they hadn’t been cleaned in days. The cream sofa in auditorium were filthy , very disappointing for a 5 star hotel
