Haar with Rooms 5 Stars

Probably actually a 4.5. The room was advertised as small but intact it was perfectly acceptable with great amenities for its size. Hanging space could’ve been better arranged and a full length mirror would’ve been good but it was a lovely room, a comfy bed and a really good and spacious shower room. The only real reason it’s not a 5 is it was rather warm and lacked a fan. Breakfast was exceptional, much better than we had anticipated. Will definitely keep in mind for future St Andrews visits

We spent two nights in Room 3. We were greeted warmly by the staff. We are traveling for two weeks and had big suitcases. Bruce carried my suitcase as there is no lift and the rooms are up a couple of flights of stairs. Our room was approximately 11 x11, room for a comfortable bed and two night stands. There is no closet. The bathroom was very nice although small. The location was fantastic and the ala cart breakfast is included and very good. Everyone was very friendly. Our room did include a flat iron and hair dryer. Coffee, tea and the makers were in the room. They did really utilize the very limited space well.

Nice place to stay. Room was small. Up a couple flights of stairs, no elevator Needed 3 different door lock codes to get to room, one at street, one for rooms section and then one for individual room, each had a key code box you had to manually code to get in. Good security, but a single coded key card for access would be much easier Great location to explore St Andrews Parking several blocks away in public lot with getting lucky to find the spot. Parking is very challenging Breakfast was delicious

Absolutely stunning stay at Haar over Hogmanay! We were lucky enough to have a room with a view overlooking the West Sands fireworks - the perfect way to ring in the New Year. The room was beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout, from the homemade shortbread on arrival to the Nespresso machine and robes. Breakfast the next morning was next level - freshly made, two generous courses, and the eggs Benedict was spot on. Every member of staff we met was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. Couldn’t fault a thing. 100% returning - a real gem in St Andrews.

I'll start on a positive; my wife and I had the dinner tasting menu, which was absolutely excellent. In addition, we ordered the scallop with king oyster mushrooms, which was also excellent. The 'Black Friday' deal we had bought also included an overnight stay in a 'cosy double'. We've stayed in many hotels where the description was 'cosy double', but this took the term to a different level, with barely any room to move around and almost zero storage/hanging space. That said, the bathroom was lovely and almost spacious by comparison. We arrived at The Haar to be greeted by a very pleasant young woman who carried out the check-in formalities and showed us up to our room. She explained that there was an issue with the lock but showed us how it operated, etc. There was no issue locking when we left a short time later,but when we tried to do the same before going down for dinner, we couldn't lock the door. I reported this to one of the front of house staff, but he experienced a similar problem and stated he would ask his manager to look at it if we'd like to take a seat downstairs. A few minutes later, the manager appeared, declaring that the door was now locked and implied incompetence on our part. I reminded him that his colleague also experienced the same issue. Then the manager (still don't know his name) asked to see our voucher. We told him we didn't have a voucher, but we have emails confirming room and table bookings. However, he insisted we needed to produce the 16 digit reference or risk being charged again, despite the fact that we'd shown him our cr card payment on the banking app. To cut to the chase, this chap was borderline rude and despite clear proof of purchase and confirmation of bookings, failed to deal with a situation that was all of his and The Haar's administration system's doing, not ours. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

Our room was clean and comfortable with a lovely ensuite bathroom. Location is brilliant - about a 20 metre walk and you’re on the Old Course!! Parking was easy and free nearby. Be aware that, quite typically of St Andrew’s, there is no lift so make sure you’re up to climbing stairs and also getting your luggage up and down yourself! Staff were friendly, breakfast was excellent. Definitely recommend!!
