Looking at the other reviews of this hotel I feel slightly mean in not giving it a good rating as it clearly appeals to most of its guests. I wasn't there for golf so I wasn't distracted though so I feel my review is unbiased. This is a very old fashioned hotel though not in a good way. It has... More

Our stay was a one night stopover that we wish had been longer. First impressions were excellent with very helpful and friendly check-in and then to a well decorated and equipped room with a great view over the bay. Although not golfers, the historic pictures in the grill room were well worth a look. The only downside we found was... More

We stayed at the Scores Hotel for 4 nights in late April and had an outstanding experience. The service was first class all the way around - including the ladies at the reception desk, the waiters in the dining room, the bartender in the pub, and the person making up our room. All were very friendly and helpful and made... More

I stayed recently at the BEST WESTERN Scores Hotel in historic and enchanting St.Andrews. The hotel has the most fantastic and elegant location, a very short pitch and putt from the 18th green of the Old Course at St.Andrews, the most famous golf course in the world. The hotel is full of golf memorabilia, and although I am not a... More

Just wrapping up a four day side trip to the town, staying at the Scores, as I have a few times since first trip in 1981. Pleased to report standards are still high and surely this represents the best value in town for a higher end hotel, given great location, service and reasonable pricing.

The Scores is my first choice in hotels in St Andrews. I have stayed there several times over the past 7 years, and have organised and attended several meetings and conferences. Our guests, many from other countries, are overwhelmed with the rooms and service, not to mention the location. We have a delegation of 18 from Sweden in August and... More

We stayed at Scores Hotel and few weeks ago and it was a great experience. Our room was very small for 2 (we had booked months before, so that was disappointing) and my brother had a much bigger room w/ twin beds!
