8/10 Very good
19 Aug 2019
It's a student hall of residence so amenities and decor are very basic as expected, but you can't complain for the price, especially in the centre of St. Andrews in high season! A bargain really. Minor gripes - the shared bathroom(s) have very loud electric hand dryers that sound like a vacuum cleaner and can be heard several rooms away.. The lights in the corridors and bathrooms are extremely bright, in the blueish spectrum and permanently on, so not conducive to maintaining melatonin levels if you need to go to the bathroom at night. Suprised that this wasn't a design consideration from an elightened H&S perspective in a hall of residence. Layout of the rooms is a little bizzare, no bedside table so necessary to move desk lamp to beside socket and balance it on top of bed post.. Breakfast excellent (full choice of healthy and unhealthy options from porridge to fried dead animal bits, as well as croissants, toast, nuts & seeds and pretty much everything else). Coffee unfortunately awful however - from one of those automatic machines and tastes like it's made from some sort of industrial concentrate..
