    A rare case of exceeding one's expectations !

    Service was a bit slow for breakfast.

    We stayed during the quiet off season and were offered a free upgrade room without asking and even though we were only staying one night. The room was spectacular with a lovely view over the old course. We ate at the second restaurant a la carte - food was decent. Breakfast was brought to the table which is a nice change to the usual buffet style. There was a full size snooker table to play at and the one under bar downstairs was lively. On street parking was free, we found a space about a par 3 away from the Hotel.

    Parking. After driving a long way, we come from Oxford, to be faced with £35 a day seemed disproportional

    Breakfast staff and food excellent . Great modern choice on menu. Even got avocado and sourdough bread! Reception staff and other staff all extremely helpful and friendly. They have done tthe hotel in exceptional taste, we have been going there for over 30 years and we were very impressed with the upgrade. The flowers dotted around were also very good.

    The stay with my wife and two daughters could not not have been better. The up graded rooms for my 90th birthday were superb with the views over the Old Course. My wife and I stayed in the hotel for my 70th birthday and the transformation of the upgrade is amazing. Our stay was outstanding in every respect.

    Parking could be a problem, so we used the valet service.

    The location is second to none. On the 18th fairway we had a beautiful room with a balcony. Room 601. The food in the rooftop restaurant was fabulous as was the service.

    Breakfast time was a little chaotic, and some of the junior staff seemed to struggle a little. It didn't affect our enjoyment, but you could see others getting a little irritated.

    Great location with fantastic views over the iconic St Andrews golf course, plus the advantage of looking out over the beach to the sea. Traditionally, styled hotel with lovely features and obviously its great golf heritage. Special, mention to Tom on reception who went above and beyond, trying to guide us past all the flooded roads to get us to the hotel.

    The only thing we missed was having access to spa facilities but this is understandably not something the hotel can offer due to the building other than that there was nothing we didn't like!

    The Breakfast was amazing, the welcome so warm and welcoming and the room was amazing with a massive comfy bed. We had a very nice cosy and relaxing stay and would highly recommend!

    The rusacks is a beautiful hotel, very luxurious feel with quality finishes. Staff are all amazing and very welcoming. The view from our room over the 18th fairway was just incredible. Breakfast was fab, great choice and beautifully cooked. Perfectly located for st andrews town centre, 5 minute stroll.

    nothing.

    First the hotel itself. I personally think the hotel's location is excellent, and the interior of the lobby is very cosy. They have all the necessary facilities including a nice fitness centre. I had breakfast at the bridge as well and the food and coffee were nice. The view from where I was seated was beautiful. Second, the staff. I only stayed for a night so I did not interact with the staff much but everyone I did interact with were all so friendly, nice and helpful. They made me feel welcomed. Lastly, the room! if you're able I definitely recommend getting a room with a balcony overlooking the incredible view. The room itself was a very nice size. it was spotless, had everything I needed, and the bed had to be one of the comfiest warmest beds I have ever slept on.
