We arrived in St. Andrews late one afternoon having not arranged for a place to stay. B&Bs nearby were showing "no vacancy" signs. When we found this place, we gladly took a room for one night. No complaints really, but nothing to rave about. Location is awesome and the room they had available had an ocean view - definite plus.... More

From the moment we arrived until we left, the staff could not have been more helpful or friendly, genuinely out to please, organised taxi to pick us up, Good sized room excellent en suit. The menu and food were really good with plenty to choose from also great selection of beers and wines. Staff went out of their way to... More

Friendly staff provide great service. Very tasty evening meal with good quality ingredients and perfectly cooked fish + scallops. Also lovely breakfast. Cosy hotel that is good value for money. Free onstreet parking just round the corner. 1 block from cinema + cafes. 2-3 blocks from good selection of shops / bars/ restaurants.

The very welcoming barman at the Russell looked after us until the kitchen opened - a very nice chardonnay for me (always a good sign when the house wine is praiseworthy) and a perfectly poured guiness for my partner. We both had... More

The room we had was very clean with a large shower room, although the furniture was tired... More

On arrival it took us a while to find someone to check us in and similarly when we wanted to check out and pay we had to search for staff! The room was very comfy, warm and welcoming and... More

Exactly what you would hope for, this is a great little hotel in St Andrews with clean, cosy rooms, friendly staff and a good breakfast. Really enjoyed my stay in this lovely hotel. Would definitely recommend to others

For many years we have used the Russell Hotel as the place to take family and friends when they are in St.Andrews. Despite having hot competition form the various cafe's and restuarants The Russell has maintained a gourmet's delight of food based on their bar and restuarant menu's. From the traditional scottish fayre to more modern delights the Russell does... More

St Andrews is a beautiful place so we decided to stay for the night and booked a room on the phone about 20 minutes before walking into the hotel. Although there isn't parking outside you can park on the streets. The hotel is right in the centre of St Andrews and the room we had, had a lovely view on... More
