Before I slate this hotel, the chamber maids/ front office staff and bar staff have great vibrant personalities. On the negative side we had been told the meals were included in our room rate, this was confirmed by their staff so our group ate at their pricey restaurant under the provisio " the meal prices aren't relevant to you your... more

This was a trip for 6 golfers on the superb value winter package that is on offer from the St Andrews Links trust. You are offered a selection of hotels with the package that starts in late october and runs until march. I chose the Russell based on some good reviews in Trip Advisor and it did not disappoint. In... more

A truly delightful hotel -- well run, friendly staff and ownership, comfortable rooms with character, a relaxing pub, and great food. Oh, and the location couldn't be better! My wife and I chose the Russell while visiting our son, a second-year student at the University. Because of my logistical slip, we had one room for the first night, and a... more

Golfing trip with 5 friends. We were made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent location and fantastic food. For any golfing party thinking of staying in St. Andrews this place should be considered if you like it small and homely. We'll be back. more

St. Andrews is all about location - and the Russell has it. From our room (Room 5 again), you have a view of the sea and beach and the Jubilee course, but step into the bay window and you look left towards the R&A and the 1st and 18 holes on the Old Course. We were a group of 15... more

The Russell Hotel is in a brilliant position a few mins walk from the Old Course and very handy for the town for shops and evenings out. We stayed in Room 5 for most of our stay, a large recently refurbished room and bathroom which was just right - with a large bay window with fantastic views! Breakfast was also... more

The Russell Hotel in St. Andrews is an excellent hotel. Its location is top notch, looking out right into the Fife and only a minute's walk to the Old Course. The rooms are above average for a Scottish B@B and the staff is exceptional. They make you feel right at home. The restaurant in the bottom floor of the Russell... more

Everything was perfect. and what a wonderful time! When we travel, we usually stay at the “Ritz Carltons” of the world. That being said, we couldn’t image a better experience than the Russell. Very authentic and exactly what we were looking for in our first Scottish experience. The wind was blowing hard, and I shot a 72 the day before... more

Truly a pleasant and memorable stay. Gordon, the manager/owner, was on-site and hands down the best I have seen in years at treating customers right and making them feel welcome. It is instantly obvious how much he loves his job and interacting with people. He led his employees' hospitality and genuine concern for the patrons' enjoyment to set a standard... more
