Rusacks St Andrews

We had a last minute change of plans and were fortunate to get a night here. The staff was outstanding. We had car difficulties on the way to St. Andrew’s. The staff was so kind and helpful with moving things around. The rooms were beautiful and the food at 18 was outstanding. After dinner we were able to have drinks on rooftop and watch the golfers on Old Links Course.

The hotel is lovely, the staff exceptional and location is the best! |We had 10 rooms, the suite, and the townhouse for family and friends to stay for our daughter’s wedding. The rooms are lovely, all had views of the 18th hole and/or with balconies. We enjoyed breakfast each morning downstairs and especially appreciated the brunch upstairs in the 18th restaurant for our wedding breakfast for 80 guests! Always had our car ready, allowed us to borrow a fan and coffee maker for the brides morning getting ready as Cambo didn’t.

Outstanding hotel. Love your breakfast with swilicin bridge views and 18 bar with golf view. Thank you everyone in team. Grace from consierge team did make our stay more enjoyable every day always greeted by a smile from her every morning she helped us book all of our activities and restaurants she was very attentive from the beginning to the end from taking us around a tour around your hotel and waving us goodbye at your door. Our next stop is Edinburgh but thank you St Andrews. We did really enjoy it views dinner breakfast and room five stars service

I’ve been to St Andrew’s a handful of times and was lucky enough to be a guest at Rusack’s last week and the team there made my trip exceed every expectation. The staff made me feel like I was a regular guests, the morning breakfast is incredible, throw in the view of morning tee times and it’s an unforgettable morning. The rooftop restaurant rivals some of my favorites back home and the staff were well prepared at accommodating a group of 12. I’m hoping to convince the family to do a Christmas vacation there based on how incredible the folks at Rusack’s were. Thanks for making a great golf trip even more memorable

Don’t bother! Pop the head in for the view then leave. Afternoon tea with champagne upgrade so about £80, very average at best! Service was horrendous, plates were left on the table until we left. Chef standing on his phone. Don’t get me wrong looks lovely inside but the inflated prices for drinks is unbelievable. Plenty lovely places you can have a lovely meal with your hard earned money. Don’t bother. Pity as could be amazing

A special anniversary and we decided to play golf for 4 days. The view from our room was spectacular. View of the 1st tee and 18th green. The hotel staff was amazing always at the ready to help in anyway you needed. Very close to EVERYTHING in town. Very walkable. We had a fancy dinner upstairs at the 18th, the duck was fantastic as well as the dessert. We watched the U.S. Open live from the "one under" pub downstairs and that was so much fun. Can't say enough good things about the Rusacks and St. Andrews in general. Pack your bags and go!

The accommodations were superb. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms were simply outstanding very comfortable. Most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. The location wow my balcony overlooks the 1st and 18th fairways. |5 gold stars

Exceptional property in an A++ location. We went on a golf trip with 12 of us and the staff was incredibly helpful booking restaurants (at the hotel and offsite), arranging transfers, and helping with our golf bags. Couldnt have been more convenient for this sort of "guys" trip, but plan to bring my wife back since location was lovely and there was much to do outside the golf. 10/10... would recommend to anyone.

18 St. Andrews is located on the top floor of the Rusacks Hotel overlooking the 18th green. Absolutely stunning views of The Old Course, the bridge, the ocean where Chariots of Fire opening scene was shot. Service was good. We had a server who had just graduated from the University of St. Andrews. She was friendly and welcoming which was a nice change having just spent 2 nights in Edinburg. The wine list was not very impressive and my date ended up ordering a bottle of wine that resembled Capri-sun. I couldn't even drink it. We started with the oyster pair (HUGE oysters, very creamy), deer tartare - couldn't get through one bite of it and Pig's Head on Toast. Appetizers were not a good sign for the rest of the dinner. However the tomahawk steak was pretty good, lobster was overcooked. Soufflé was pretty good. Would give it a higher rating if not for the food. I think you really come here for the views, the putting green overlooking the 18th on the balcony, some gorgeous views vs. the food.

Outstanding hotel. I would recommend this hotel. Would be back. We had an outstanding stay. Great staff, clean room, good dining.

Bartender was incredibly rude. Ordered 2 drinks while sitting at the bar. He started making our drinks got them all made just needed to shake them and then continued to make other drinks and let ours sit. After he had made 8 other drinks I asked him when he would be finishing ours as they only needed shaken and he got biligerant with me. We got up and left and will be sure to tell everyone we know it's not worth the visit. Glad we changed our hotel so we didn't have to stay there and endure the unhappy staff.

Can't say enough good things about this place. The snooker room is absolutely amazing. Great service too. Expensive but well worth it.

Wonderful hotel with beautiful grounds. We stayed in the cottage at the front of the property and didn't want to leave. The cottage is comfortable, clean and well appointed. Top notch customer service. Hope to return one day.

Attended brunch at the 18 rooftop restaurant. The view is beautiful and the staff were friendly and attentive. Our table ordered the oysters and unfortunately 4 of our table felt sick and later found they had the norovirus (food poisoning). The pancakes were delicious and the space was beautiful otherwise.

The hotel is right on the golf course and our room was overlooking the 18th green on the 4th floor. I recommend the Bing Crosby room, it has an amazing view! The staff was extremely helpful and courteous with everything from directions to amenities. You get that old time feeling surrounded by history and you can literally see the club house and its a five minute walk to the old course. Breakfast is included with the room and it was great. You can choose continental or order your preference. I would highly recommend this hotel. Note, if you plan on playing the course golfers have to hit off of mats until April. They will supply you with a carry mat. Shopping is a convenient stroll to Tom Morris shop, St. Andrews Links Golf shop, British Golf Museum, and other shops.

I would give it zero stars if I could. Hotel is satisfactory. Food is bad, service is worse.

Great, historic hotel on the 18th fairway of the Old Course at St. Andrews. Accommodations are small but well appointed. Restaurant and bar are both good. Can't beat the location.

EVERY GOLFERS DREAM HOTEL right here... Boarding the OLD course, while also offering high class amenities, um, why aren't you booking this hotel now?? Pros: - 5 minute walk to The Old Course - Complimentary WiFi - Awesome shower heads (but I couldn't figure out how to use it, lol) - Free Breakfast (well it was included in our deal at least) - A mini golf history museum - 3 Restaurants/Bars - Within walking distance to EVERYTHING and super duper close to the bus station! Cons: - No gym - I couldn't figure out the shower AT ALL - Room Service menu looked unappetizing - The hotel restaurants offered foods on their menus that they didn't actually have available - The bed wasn't the most comfortable thing - Bathroom floors are freezing I would in fact stay at this hotel if I ever did come back to St Andrews, solely because I was able to find a recreation center in town... The rest of the accommodations I could handle NO PROBLEM! And the wifi offered was strong enough to stream YouTube videos and make a Periscope! Woo Woo! (How pathetic am I... Don't worry, I definitely went SIGHTSEEING!!!) A stunning hotel from the inside up.... I can tell their working on modernizing this place, next addition: add a gym, for the ladies/gents who don't want to BRAVE THE FREEZING COLD WEATHER and walk 18 holes with their partners!

I don't give 5 stars for anything unless I am so overwhelmed. I would give it 4 and a half it is was optional. The history of this hotel is the biggest point of interest. All the golfing paitings are overwhelming. The staff was very kind and attentative. The rooms were albeit small, very clean and nicely decorated. All the rooms have different names for famous golfers or places. It is also located along the 18th fairway of the 18th hole of the Old Course at St Andrews, and if your room happens to be on that side, the views of the golf course and nearby ocean are fantastic.. I deifinetly would recommend it to others. The only drawback was the wifi was only available in the lobby. Hopefully they will fix that in the future.

rusacks hotel st andrews is practically located on the links and could not be nearer the r&a clubhouse / 18th hole of the old course - and therefore has attracted many golfing 'greats' over the years it is a four storey grey sandstone building which has been tastefully decorated - I had a quaint attic room which had victorian en-suite bathroom nice restaurant - one of the best full scottish breakfasts i've ever had - various v comfortable lounges / sun terrace excellent staff/service has small car park - which is transport of choice for most people as no train station here although there is one @ leuchars - the hotel is close to the bus station though

You won't find a better location. Worth the extra to have a room looking right out on the 18th green at St Andrews Old Course. The front desk help were charming and helpful too. This is an OLD historic hotel so floors may be a little sloped or uneven. The breakfast is nice too. My only complaint is with the housekeeping. They never restocked the bathroom toiletries or the coffee. It's like they rush in and do a 80% job. The closet doors were left open, dirty glasses weren't taken away, they didn't replace things to there proper place. I've stayed in many nice hotels and they just didn't do a thorough job. But it wasn't a deal breaker. I'd still stay here again...it's views of the golf course and ocean are unbeatable!!! The help was very hospitable!

The Rusacks is one of the exceptions in the world of hotels. Part of the MacDonald group of hotels, it manages to achieve the perfect balance of the quality assured by the MacDonald name and the unique charm of one of the oldest hotels in Scotland. The building is beautiful, the service is excellent and the fine dine restaurant offers local scottish food prepared and served to an exceptional standard.

I have never stayed at The Rusacks but have popped in for coffee or lunch many times. It is a lovely hotel with stunning views. If you go for coffee, it is the same price as Starbucks but in a much nicer setting with personal service! I would definitely recommend it.
