It's in an amazing location and if you are lucky enough to get a front facing room, you have a fantastic view. Satff were all fab and it was a bonus to have a car park. We did feel the breakfast was expensive and there was no real restaurant to have evening dinner. There is a pub down stairs attached to hotel which was very nice.and they did serve pub type meals. We would def stay there again.

This hotel is not fit to be open. State of the rooms was horrendous. Breakfast was a joke. Receptionist and waitress were both lovely. Felt really sorry for the having to listen to everyone complaining.

Lige som jeg forestillede mig det gamle Skotland

The Scores er en autentisk skots oplevelse. Hotellet er gammelt og slidt, men det er super hyggeligt, ligger helt perfekt midt i St. Andrews, i gåafstand til alt og med det sødeste og mest hjælpsomme personale. Rengøring på værelset hver dag. Jeg kommer gerne tilbage :)

This hotel has the potential to be a great location for visitors. Instead it is a run-down (American owned) understaffed dump that sits on one of the worlds prime locations. A shabby, poorly-managed & overpriced disappointment that, frankly, was a shock to visit. I very rarely write reviews on forums such as this but felt compelled to warn visitors to look at every other option to stay in St Andrew’s before choosing this place. The owners, Best Western, tend to ruin everything they touch and The Scores is a shining example of that lazy discarded neglect they have come to perfect. I rarely write in these kind of forums but felt compelled to warn potential guests to St Andrew’s that, until The Scores changes owners and shown some care, this is not the place to stay.

The hotel is flithy. There are holes in the walls, the carpet needs to be vaccumed, the elevator had garbage on the floor. We were told by the person we think is the manager that the new owners intend to renovate the hotel....lets hope so. We had booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1 due to condition of the hotel.

Taxi Service

Everything was excellent until out taxi that was to have been called did not show up. We almost missed our multiple connecting trains...Golf taxi saved the day...and these train tickets were not flexible. I don't know where the breakdown was...ie calling the taxi or the taxi company just not showing up, but in a place like St Andrews with no uber or lift service, efficient reliable taxi service is a no-brainer
