Rusacks St Andrews

This was my second time staying at the Rusacks and i enjoyed it even more this time around. The hotel is gorgeous with stunning views of the golf course and the sea. It is located within walking distance of the main bus station and a quick walk to everything downtown. The rooms are very clean and spacious with every amenity you can think of (fridge, coffee maker, kettle, coffee, teas, cookies, safe, hairdryer, iron, extra blankets...)a. The bathrooms are very modern with heated floors and towel racks. The restaurant offers delicious food and great cocktails. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat and shop.

We could not have loved our stay at Rusacks more. I chose it because it was looked incredibly beautiful, festive and, of course, had the proximity to the Old Course we were after! We were greeted after a VERY long day of driving with a room upgrade that absolutely thrilled my golf loving son - a room with a view to the 18th Hole of the most famous course in the world. It was incredibly spacious, especially the bathroom, and I enjoyed some much-needed relaxing soaks in the massive bathtub. We had excellent breakfasts every morning in the dining room, and had two cracking dinners at the One Under Bar. The Christmas decorations filled my festive-loving heart with joy - it’s a really special time to be there, and the town of Saint Andrews is stunning. Small enough to explore on foot, but lots to see and do! Finally, I have to say that the Rusacks staff were engaged, warm and generous with their time. My son had his name in the ballot to play the Old Course on our first morning there, and every single person we spoke to not only wished him well in getting a tee time, but asked after his success the next day (he got a time, lucky guy!). It meant so much to him, to have that excitement shared and celebrated, and is testament to the lovely people you have working there. We would come back in a heartbeat, and hopefully will again!

This hotel is the finest establishment in which we have ever had the pleasure of staying. We have been to hotels in over 50 countries and nothing compares to St. Andrews. It is a world class experience. We were greeted at the door, our luggage was taken to our room, and we were given a tour of the facility. Our room was stunning as was the view. It was luxurious and comfortable. We ate at One Under as 18 was closed this time of year. The menu was limited but our burger and fish and chips were delicious. Breakfast the next morning was spectacular. Staff members were amazing- they were a real delight to speak with and were so helpful. I cannot recommend a hotel more highly!

I love the location and the Bridge Restaurant. Great breakfasts for Hotel guests with views across to the 18th green. Later in the day as an Italian Restaurant. The staff are charming and want the guests to be pleased. The modern comforts joined together with the old traditional flavour.

The Russacks is a wonderful hotel, there is no denying. It’s a gorgeous location, the staff were amazing and the bed was so comfortable, plus we had a stunning view of the beach! It pains me to fault it because it really is a lovely hotel but unfortunately our shower did not work during our stay. There was no hot water and the water was trickling, not something you’d expect for the price you’re paying to stay here. I hate to make a bad review because I think if you want to stay here then you should, it’s perfect location and good walking distance from everything. We really enjoyed our stay but had we been staying for 2 nights and not 1 we would of been really disappointed with the fact that we could not wash while staying there especially after a long journey as all you want to do it get clean and we couldn’t because it was freezing and very little water was coming out. I think we would have made more of a fuss if we were staying longer but the hotel really is so lovely and we weren’t staying for long so just made do with what we had. I just hope they can get the issues of the water sorted out as it seemed to be an on going problem when we called up and if it is a problem you should notify your guests so that they have that expectation in their mind before booking or lower your prices because you do not expect to be paying x amount and not be able to do one of the fundamental things at a hotel. It’s a bit like arriving to no sheets on your bed ahaha. All in all I really don’t want to make our stay into a negative I just think we paid a lot for one night so if someone had paid for more nights this would be seriously disappointing and not something you expect from a fancy hotel like the Russacks.
