Agnes Blackadder Hall - Campus Accommodation

This is student accommodation on campus let out in the summer recess, so the rooms are a tad small, but well appointed. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. The rates are comparable with Premier Inn and, like them, they have a buffet breakfast with a lot of choice, especially for vegans and gluten intolerant. We loved the haggis on the menu! The breakfast room was well organized and run. The campus is very close to St Andrews and all the entertainments it has to offer. Lots of free parking on site. Our only beef was that the mattress must be the most uncomfortable one we've ever tried to sleep on.

Our second visit to Halls. Last one was in 2018. Got off to a shaky start when I made a mistake in booking us in. Sorted out no problem with helpful friendly staff. Walked for miles or so it seemed to find room which was clean with all hotel type amenities. Bed not very comfy.Morning shower was broken either scalding water or very scalding a bit of a pain but put up with it two mornings out of our 4night stay. My husband decided enough is enough and at 730pm we were given a new room with many apologies. With a comfier bed.Breakfast is amazing better than some high end hotels we have stayed in. Nice bar to sit in evening pizza and burgers available.Everyone we came across was so helpful and friendly. Close to bus stops and 10 min walk into town Definitely place to come to back to in future for a little or longer break at a fraction of cost of st Andrews accommodation

Stayed there while attending a conference that took place on the St Andrews campus. Apparently this is the largest dorm that St Andrews U has to offer and it's available during the summer months when the University is not in session. The rooms are basic student accommodations but the wifi works; the room I stayed in (on the 4th floor) was clean, including bathroom and shower. There was a hot water thingy and tea and coffee were supplied in decent amounts. No fridge or safe though. Also, the mattress was way too soft, or maybe just worn out. But I managed. Brekkie was included and was actually quite good (with several stations offering a gamut of options). Hall staff (mostly older folks) were consistently friendly. The folks at the reception desk were younger and could use a lesson or two on customer service. Overall, it was not a bad choice and if I would attend another conference, or for that matter if I would decide to take up golf, it'd be a creditable alternative. The hall is about a 15 minutes stroll to North and South Street ("downtown") both of which have plenty of food and drink places.
