We got an overnight stay with dinner as a wedding gift. I am glad it was a gift and we hadn’t paid for it ourselves as I was left disappointed. The hotel is certainly tired and in need of upgrading. I’ve had nicer rooms at a premier inn. The swimming area is like a public swimming baths and also in need of a serious refurb. Dinner was ok, nothing special. We had booked for 7pm and were not finished until after 9 - very slow service even though it was not particularly busy. My husband ordered soup for starter and had to go looking for a spoon as he wasn’t given one and no waiting staff were in our area to ask for one. He then had a burger which was raw in the middle. Not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. We won’t be back and won’t be recommending to others.

Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and food excellent.

We recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We chose it for its location of being close to family in Leuchars but primarily because it was dog friendly. We didn’t on this occasion use the golf facilities. We stayed in a room in one of the lodge buildings which was ideal as it was next to the golf course and ideal for dog walks or just letting him out supervised to do his business! The room was comfortable and clean and with all the essentials needed for a mini break. The breakfast in the hotel was very good some days buffet and some days ordered from the menu. We ate an evening meal in the hotel several days and whilst the menu choice is not extensive the food was good quality and value. With having the dog all our meals were in the bar area which was fine for us as you have lovely views over the golf course and it was very relaxed. All the staff were friendly and helpful providing a great level of service. We would definitely come back and stay again here. A good location for exploring St Andrews, Dundee, Carnoustie & many beaches on this coast

A converted jute mill is the location for this fabulous hotel & suites. You are greeted by a great ambience and friendly staff. The suite was spacious and well-equipped. The kitchen area was spotless and certainly would enable one to cater for themselves. The bathroom, again spacious, had the best shower. A comfy bed gave a good night's sleep. Breakfast was a self service affair. The breakfast seating area was light and inviting. Food was tasty and constantly replenished, and the variety of hot drinks was impressive. It was a buffet style but fitted our leisurely approach to the day. The only fly in the ointment was the parking. There is very limited parking for the hotel (for which you would be charged £12.50) or a short walk away there is local authority run car park which at the pay and display you can pay to park -we paid £6.60, expertly explained by Holly at reception, it maybe needs to be made more clear on the website for clarity.

From the minute I drove in the car park, the design and style was out of this world. Every single member of the staff had a genuine presence, from something as simple as a smile! Room was very stylish, possibly a little dark but I had no issues sleeping which is a bonus. Dinner in the restaurant was great, a local beer went down a treat. Food was very well presented and freshly cooked. Couldn't fault a thing, will bring my wife for a trip sometime and stay for longer.

We stayed for two nights, ate at the hotel on the 2nd evening and enjoyed the food and service. Staff are very helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. We did not have the breakfast. Used the gym which was very well-provisioned. There is ample parking on site for£5/night. Would certainly return to the Apex and recommend to others

Stayed here for a college reunion in the city. Upon arrival the reception staff greeted us in a very friendly and relaxed manner. Our room was very clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable too. The only fault which isn’t the hotel’s is that the walls are very paper thin. About midnight/1am a couple in the adjoining room from us were having a dispute, and it lasted for half an hour. My friend and I felt like we were children listening to our parents fight while we were in bed. Despite that, we had a really goodnight sleep and breakfast was very good, with staff being very attentive.

We stayed in a private, double room, sharing bathroom facilities. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfy bed and a working radiator we were able to adjust. There was no TV, but good WiFi in the room. There are lots of bathrooms in the building, so that was not a problem either, and they were always clean and well-stocked with loo roll. The location is excellent - in Dundee centre, and we had a view looking on to the high street. It's in walking distance from the bus and train station. The only annoying thing was the kitchen: there were always 3 or 4 people in there, whatever time we went in, and almost always people who live and work at the hostel, rather than guests. This meant they were cooking 'proper meals', rather than simple stuff you'd expect from backpackers or travellers. It also meant we had to wash our pans etc before we ate, in case someone needed them in the meantime. They were international students or older people. It would be better if staff had their own kitchen, as the kitchen isn't big - there's one kettle, one microwave, one toaster. There are two ovens and two cookers, with four hobs each. There are signs up about washing, drying and putting stuff away, but wooden spoons don't 'dry' with a tea towel, so they are damp in the drawers. If they cannot make a separate kitchen for staff, I'd suggest adding some simple appliances to one of the many sitting rooms, such as a kettle, toaster and microwave, so at least you could grab breakfast quickly without awkwardly working around everyone in the kitchen.
