What a great hotel. It's a good 40 minutes walk to the town centre, but there is a great bus service opposite the hotel if you can't walk the distance. We had a great stay here, The room was a good size and very clean. Food was great, especially the bar food where there is plenty of choice and a nice atmosphere. Breakfast - one of the best we have had in a hotel anywhere in the world and the staff were very plesant and helpful.

The hotel is situated in beautiful grounds with excellent amenities - indoor swimming pool, sauna, stam room, jacuzzi, a small gym.
The staff were unfailingly polite and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and clean.
The breakfast buffet was just too tempting, catering for every taste.
We ate twice in the Renoir restuarant - the food was of a very high standard and the staff there were particularly skilled and attentive in non intrusive way.
The service in the main bar was a bit 'iffy' at times which is probably the only criticism I could make.
The hotel itself is situated about a mile from the town centre, so not far to walk. Ther is plently parking space at the hotel, and a Waitrose just across the road to fill that helpful room fridge!!

Perfect for business trips. Tidy room, pleasant staff. Decent car park. A little bit far from town centre but close enough. Not bad at all

We were visiting my mother who lives on the island, and decided to try this hotel, as we have driven by on a number of visits. I have to say that we were certainly not disappointed, although the hotel was fully booked the weekend we arrived, as it was Liberation Day on the 9th. The rooms are spacious and well appointed, with sockets in convenient places, one of our main complaints in many hotels!
The pool nas spa complex is second to none, and the staff are so helpful throughout the hotel.
When we surfaced for breakfast on the first morning, we were absolutely astounded at the choice, form cereals, fresh fruit, hams, cheeses, and the wonderful cooked selection.
My husband was thrilled to find he could get his favourite kippers, or smoked haddock (albeit there was a small supplement), and these were freshly cooked to order. I had poached eggs one morning, again cooked to order and absolutely perfect.
We will certainly be visiting this wonderful hotel again, and the prices are not that more expensive than some of the lower rated places.

Most travellers will be familiar with the hot and stuffy hotel room - and hopefully there will be aircon or windows to achieve the required balance. Sadly not so at the St Pierre, where the only option is to open a sliding door onto an all too accessible flat roof; built some 30 years ago, it is time this hotel reviewed its room ventilation - if it was stuffy and too hot in April, heaven help those staying in August !
There is evidence of a general lack of awareness from management as to overall standards: the view from the Fountain balcony and restaurant is despoiled by dead or dying shrubs festooned with brambles; towel robes are only available at the pool changing facilities, so would-be swimmers cannot dress/undress in one's room, but have to do so in the communal changing rooms; Dinner in the Renoir restaurant is well cooked and presented, but costly and insubstantial; bar prices are similarly inflated.
In sum, an adequate Hotel for a short break, but could do better !

The completely refurbished hotel impressed me with a nice and quite large bedroom, a very modern and spacious bathroom as well as with an excellent breakfast buffet. An indoor swimming pool - not just a "pond" - invited for real swimming. The atmosphere in the hotel and the service were nice and welcoming.

Myself, my mother and my 97yr old grandmother travelled to Guernsey for an early mothers day treat. The hotel was perfect for us. We booked a room with a lakeside view. Although you couldn't see the lake from inside the room, there was a large terrace outside our room where you could sit which looked out over the lake. Our chambermaid was excellent and promptly responded to every request and our room was always very clean. The pool and facilities such as jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were excellent, we used them daily.We also liked that there was a wet and dry changing room and a relaxation room with daily papers and tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast was great and there was a lot of choice- a huge fresh fruit platter, porridge to order or a traditional fried breakfast buffet and our breakfast waiter was very attentive. It is also well situated for access to St Peter's Port.

Having read several reviews commenting on the noise of the band if there is a function on I was slightly nervous when a warning letter arrived in our room. I really think that they should do something about this- I don't wish to be a kill joy but the noise was dreadful, there was no way that we could sleep until the music stopped. So be warned - don't book this hotel at the weekend unless you are invited to the party!!

Booked the hotel as part of a weekend package. A nice location and friendly staff. The Renoir restaurant hosted a very nice evenning dining experience.

don't stay in room 355, it has a connecting door with room 357, the occupant of 357, came into his room at about midnight, promptly slamming all doors, sliding wardrobe doors and dressing table drawers, on doing so the connecting door rattled loudly, he then used his phone to order a sandwich, and it was so clear that we heard that he had to make do with a cheese sandwich. He then put the television on and decided to watch sky news, he then turned over the channels until he found a film on BBC1, his sandwich was delivered and again door slammed and connecting door rattled, we asked him to turn down the television, but he did not here us it was that loud, we tried ringing his phone but he did not answer it, by this time it was 0130hrs so we called the duty manager to assist us, he told us that if he had left his curtains open we could get our remote control, stand on our balcony and use it to turn off his television, this did not work, in the end the manager used his pass key, entered the room and turned off his television with our control, the man by this time was fast asleep worse for alcohol and snoring loudly oblivious to what we had had to endure, but had it have been any other room without a connecting door then it would not have happened as all the noise was coming through there and not the walls.worse than a hollywood script.

We have been to Guernsey a number of times but this was our first visit to this hotel. When we arrived we were pleased with our choice. The hotel is in a great position just a few minutes drive out of St Peter Port. The reception area is light and welcoming. We were in room 301 which is on the first floor overlooking the lake. The room was very nice, clean, spacious with a very nice bathroom. There were patio doors with a seating area outside. There is a lovely Spa with pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. All facilities are free to hotel guests and robes and towels are provided. We both had extra charged treamtents in the Spa which were lovely. Buffet breakfast was included and has everything you could want and more! The only dissapointment was that when we entered our room on the first day there was a letter under the door saying there was a function that evening going on until 12.45 and some rooms may hear a slight noise. This didn't seem too worrying until we returned from our swim at 4.30pm on the first day. A band were obviously rehearsing for the evening and it was almost as if they were in the room with us! You could hear loud and clear every word of what they said on the microphone and the music was deafening. The "slight noise" mentioned in the hotel letter was an understatement to say the least. After an hour we complained to reception who weren't particularly helpful and said the hotel was full so they couldn't move us. We went out for dinner and didn't return until 11.30pm when the party was in full swing and in our room it was just as if we were downstairs in the function room! The noise continued until 12.45.
Thank goodness there was no function the second evening and we had a peaceful nights sleep! Don't be put off as the hotel is excellent just ensure that if there's a function on your not on the first floor above the function room if you want to sleep!

We stayed for a couple of nights on a special rate deal. It was excellent value. The room (with a balcony) overlooked the splendid grounds in which the St Pierre Park is situated. Being out of season the place was quiet, shared mostly with a variety of corporate residents. The St Pierre has all the facilities that you'd expect of a four star hotel, though we only used the small business centre, which was fine.
Our room was spacious, well appointed and very clean. A full breakfast was included in our tariff and again was very good value with attentive waiting staff. We didn't eat in the main restaurant but rather relied on the much more modestly priced light meals in the bar - these were better than expected and certainly seemed to be properly prepared, rather then re-heated stuff bought in.
The St Pierre is a large hotel and it's a way from the centre of St Peter Port itself and you wouldn't look to stroll in to the island's capital - the road's too busy to make the walk comfortable. It has no particular character - despite a rather forced French - inspired 'ancien regime' theme - and in truth is much like good hotels the world over. But having said this we found it relaxing and quiet, with attentive staff, good food and extremely comfortable rooms. We had a very pleasant couple of days at the St Pierre Park.

We have recently returned from a short 3 day break on our first trip to Guernsey, and found the hotel to be generally good although there were one or two things which could do with some attention. Our room was fine, overlooking the garden but I found it to be a little stuffy despite the time of year, very clean and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant each night and the quality of food was first class although the menu was a little repetitive which could have been an issue on a longer stay. The staff both at breakfast and in the restaurant were attentive, perhaps overly so on occasions. The hotel has a guest satisfaction survey which asks for the name of a staff member who had given particularly good service during our stay at the hotel. In my view there was one particular staff member who was over enthusiastic in this regard, to the extent that after our last meal in the restaurant he came running down the corridor waving his name badge in our faces.
The hotel does seem to have a number of functions and as our room was situated above the function room it was extremely noisy on the Saturday night until well past midnight. When checking out I was asked if everything was ok during our stay, I said yes apart from the noise the previous night but got no response, obviously a case of selective deafness.
Would I stay here again " yes " but would avoid week-ends or take along some ear plugs!

I stayed 2 nights on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 November, and had room 356. The hotel is a short way out of St Peter Port, with a taxi costing about £6 into town and to the airport £9.
It is located on several levels and it can be a bit confusing to remember which level you are on and how many floors to go up to the bedroom. The hotel has good sports facilities including an indoor pool 25 m long which is open from 06.30. I used it once.
The room was a fair size with a double bed made of two mattresses on one base. It was very comfortable to sleep in. The curtains were VERY thick which excluded all daylight. The bathroom was modern, and a shower over the bath. Washcloths were provided and the towels changed daily despite following the instructions for re-use.
Breakfast was on the gardens level in Cafe Renoir. Spacious with good selection of juices, fruit, and some cheeses. Hot dishes all available. I thought it one of the more extensive buffets I have seen.
In town we had excellent dinners at the long established Le Nautique and the more recent Pier 17. The food was better in the former but the welcome and service better in the latter. Think £50 per head including wines in each.
Many foreign enthusiastic workers from Eastern Europe
I paid £84 per night inc breakfast on a pre-paid basis. Good value for the quality of hotel

We have just returned from a 4 night stay and want everyone to know how good it was. The hotel was perfect, the rooms attractive, clean, quiet, and the breakfasts wonderful. We enjoyed the spa and swimming pool of an evening before going out. We came to go to the 'tennerfest' restaurants so didn't eat in in the evening. But the hotel is in a good location for getting into town, and on a bus route (which friends used).
The staff were all friendly and helpful.
Our son lives on the island but we enjoyed our stay so much we'd like to return!!

Stayed here for two nights, the room was first class and overlooked the pond/lake. Found the staff to be very helpful from the front desk to the bar staff. We had a meal included on the second night which was very nice but perhaps not quite enough, good choice for breakfast. Would recommend to friends and would stay there again.

The hotel has been redecorated and accommodations updated, since my last trip, The leisure facilities have been rejuvenated making for a more pleasant feeling. Problems start when large meetings and conferences occur as this often means that residents are unable to find parking spaces if they have gone out for the evening. I only ate breakfasts in the hotel due to tennerfest being on. However this meal was not as i would expect, as with hotels in this day and age buffet service is employed, and every morning i found that the food was not at an acceptable temperature, I brought this to the attention of staff in the restaurant, but to no avail.

Stayed at the SPP for two nights whilst on business with colleagues. It's a full featured hotel on the outskirts of St Peter Port in my second home of Guernsey.
Set in some lovely grounds with a 9 hole golf course, pool, spa and other leisure facilities the SPP offers something for everyone. Great breakfast selection, comfortable & modern rooms, free wifi and nice restaurant. If you can get it on a corporate rate then even better!

I travelled to the hotel with my mother and two young boys. We had a family room, that was actually two adjoining rooms - a king bed in one with two twin beds in the other. The room had two large bathrooms, plenty of storage, and a lovely view of the garden. We stayed on the first floor near to the indoor pool (marvelous) and close to Reception and the restaurant. The internet was included in the room and was very definitely high-speed - a plus for us!
The breakfast was included in our room and was quite good, with the wait staff being very attentive. We toured Guernsey all day then would come back to the hotel at night and ordered room service each night for dinner, The food was quite good with generous portions. The only negative is that one night there was a dinner/dance in the hotel and the music and crowd were very noisy. I called the front desk to complain - something I NEVER do - and apparently the manager had the party close the door to the hall and that took care of the problem. I would definitely recommend this hotel and if I am ever in Guernsey again this will be my choice.

our first visit to Guernsey and hopefully not the last. Excellent hotel,good value for money,great food , and excellent service . Only one complaint - no air conditioning in bedrooms. Have just lately had rooms refurbished so why not add this facility ?- rooms have sliding doors onto balcony but did not relieve the heat - had to ask for a desk fan - and this was not mid summer !!! pity otherwise a really nice holiday.

Superbreaks gave my wife and I a very good value half board deal for ten days at B&B prices (saved £60 per couple per night). The basic room, however, overlooked the car park and reception were not interested in upgrades to a room that overlooked the garden or lake, Pity because the setting and location of the hotel are good (30 mins walk to St Peter Port and relaxing tree lined grounds with sports/leisure facilities). The room did have a sitting area but no A/C and there was a noisy fan on the ground floor which meant that the patio doors could not be left open at night. Breakfast presented good choice but the one conveyor belt toaster regularily cremated the bread, and none of the chefs could fry or poach eggs to our satisfaction. The quality of the food in Cafe Renoir was excellent, but the menu over 10 nights was far too repetitive and lacked imagination/variety. The staff, however, were delightful and we had lots of opportunities to chat with them and smile. Overall, a pleasant stay, but only because we did not pay full price.

We were given a dark sub-ground floor room with a view of the car park after paying top rate. The room had a connecting door to the room next door and there were some very noisy people in there,on the phone shouting all the time. The soundproofing was non existent. We were told that the hotel was full and that the room could not be changed until we phoned Airmiles and complained and then saw the assistant duty manager. He was very helpful and after about half an hour managed to get us changed to a room at the back with a view of the garden and without a connecting door but on the same floor. This was much better but all the rooms below ground floor are very dark. Bathrooms are nice but the shower is basic, no thermostat. We heard our neighbour complaining loudly about the shower. As other reviewers have mentioned the four stars are for the leisure facilities and reception rooms not the accommodation. No mini bar, no satellite tv, no in-house films, no safe, no way we'll be staying here again.

A friend had booked an overnight trip to Guernsey and I was pleased to discover that we would be staying at St. Pierre Park as it is a 4 star hotel and often regarded as Guernsey's best. I had also stayed there as a child. We found it easy to get to from St. Peter Port (only £1 on the bus). Maybe my expectations of what a 4 star hotel should be and what they are, are completely off...
The room was large, but didn't contain a safe, or a minibar (or even a bottle of water). The room got very hot very quickly (especially after showering) as there wasn't any air conditioning or even a fan, and as we were on the ground floor the patio doors could only be opened, due to security issues, whilst we were in the room, awake and dressed! The thick duvet on the bed would be perfect for a cold winters night, not great in August, and there wasn't a sheet that we could have used instead. Due to the heat in the room and the bed being lumpy I didn't have a good nights sleep. The bathroom was very spacious and clean, with a great shower/bath.
The reception staff were friendly as were the concierge. We liked the bar area very much, it was very elegant, comfortable and the drink selection was amazing. We dined in the restaurant in the evening, having a set menu. The food was very good, and I think everyone enjoyed their meal. The breakfast buffet was amazing; very large selection. Staff were not so friendly in the morning. Maybe we'd kept them up too late the night before.
This hotel would be very comfortable during another time off year. In August the lack of A/C really bothered me, yet I don't know that others in Guernsey offer it anyway. I guess the hotel gets it's 4 stars from having a gym, tennis courts, golf course, indoor swimming pool, hair salon etc. all of which didn't interest me. But if that's what you're looking for I'm sure this hotel could be for you.
