Agnes Blackadder Hall - Campus 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.

Habitaciones muy sencillas dentro del campus de la universidad. La ducha con muy poca presión y poca temperatura. El desayuno bufé abundante y bueno, sin duda lo mejor de todo, con el aparcamiento gratis y amplio. Bien para pasar una noche y mas comparando los precios con otros establecimientos.

Our happy weekend was enhanced by a brilliant experience of great hospitality. The breakfasts were amazing with wonderful service from Rachel and her team. A great welcome at reception, with warm and friendly service throughout. We couldn't have asked for better. Would highly recommend this as an extremely affordable place to stay.
