We had three rooms at the Hazelbank and found them to be quiet pleasant and very clean. We had one downstairs room for our elderly mother and it was nice since she didn't have to climb the stairs. Our other two rooms didn't have the view others talked about, but we were only there to sleep, so that didn't really matter. The bathrooms were very large with the lovely heated towel racks that I loved. Breakfast was very good and served by very friendly staff. It was located in a very convenient location for us and that was helpful. We also enjoyed drinks and dinner in the Russel Hotel next door. All in all, a great stay in St. Andrews.

We stayed at the Hazelbank for two nights in Oct. Ask for ROOM 3 or ROOM 7. Both are very large with bay windows looking out to the ocean. Really beautiful views. We had a wonderful time. Very quiet rooms. Great breakfast in very nice dining area. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Location is fabulous. Walk to the Old Course tee and walk to the center of town. Although there is no restaurant or bar at the Hazelbank, this means it is quiet. The pub in the Russel Hotel right next door is great. The Hazelbank has no elevator, no bell staff- you must carry your bags one or two flights of stairs to the rooms. Parking is on the street in front of the hotel. It was easy to find a place to park at this time of year, but might be a problem at busier times.
We would definitely return to the Hazelbank Hotel- at $175/night for two people in room #3 and breakfast for two, it was an excellent value.

We were fortunate enough to stay in the Hazelbank Hotel in July with three other couples for a golf trip. It was beautiful and clean and Michael was so accomodating in every way. The view from our room was overlooking St. andrews Bay and the Old Course. What could be more beautiful. It is close to everything and we never had to move our cars. The breakfasts were excellent and well served. we would recommend it highly!

We stayed here in early April '06. A very nice property situated in downtown St. Andrews. You will be close to all that you likely will wish to see and do in the village of St. Andrews (we actually parked our car on the street out front and didn't touch it until we left 4 days later)!

Rooms were well maintained, serviced every day, and the front rooms overlook the West Sands Beach. The water pressure for the shower in our room was a bit weak, . . . but was usable. Breakfast each morning was freshly prepared to order in the small dining room, and the staff was simply outstanding!

We booked our golf package through the hotel and Michael was very patient with the many questions we asked prior to booking. As mentioned in an earlier review, there is a room off the front door for reading, club storage, and it has a computer for internet access for guests. Not published or listed, but the hotel also has wireless internet access which at the time we were there was open and we were able to connect via our laptop in our room. Ma Bells down the street also is a WiFi hot spot.

If you are looking for a small hotel in St. Andrews, whether it is for golf, sightseeing, visiting, etc., . . . I would highly recommend that you look at the Hazelbank as one of your options.

Might I also suggest that if you are looking for golf art/photos, . . . that you visit the gallery at the end of the street (towards the old course). I believe the shop is in the ground floor of the Scores hotel. Very nice proprietor and she will ship your purchases back for you.
