I just returned from a 6 night golf trip with 7 friends. The Russell Hotel was the perfect place to stay. The location was ideal. Spectacular views of St. Andrews Bay from our rooms. Close enough to walk with our clubs to St. Andrews clubhouses. In the heart of the town with easy access to shops, pubs and restaurants. The... More

We found this little hotel by chance, arriving late the sunday evening in which the International Opens of Saint Andrews (one of the most important golf match in the world) ended, so to find a free room was really a luck. It is located five minutes by foot from the green of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St.... More

We went to visit on a spur of the moment decision. My wife and i had stayed in the Russell before but this time our 9 year old boy was with us. We were greeted by a really helpful young lady who made us feel really welcome. A room was quickly found for us and we went out for a... More

On arrival we were somewhat surprised to find reception set amongst the bar area of the hotel. I suppose it sufficed as a reception, but it was little weird checking in with dozens of people staring at you! Even more so as we'd dragged one of the bar staff away from the bar to deal with us! Our "Double" room... More

Our group of golfers (8) had an excellent stay at the Russell. Close to everything, clean rooms and superb restaurant. Spent alot of time in the pub and was very impressed with the high level of attentiveness to guests from all the staff. More

We spent four days at the Russell Hotel in St. Andrews for golf. The rooms had great views over St. Andrews Bay and the Old Course, and were very comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly, and they made our stay very pleasant. The restaurant was well worth a visit with great food and lovely staff.... More

Food was excellent, staff very friendly, responsive (got up 5am and left travel breakfast when we had an early start) From my bed a beautiful view of the North Sea. Rooms comfortable, location perfect for St Andrews More

I have to disagree with one of my travel companions who was disappointed by a mishap with the bill at the Russell hotel. In my experience, it was one of the warmest and most friendly environments that i have ever stayed in, and they showed a true willingness to go above and beyond for their guests. It was a first...
