We booked this hotel due to its central location on the island as it was the most reasonably priced offering by the travel company. Our specifiaction was for an indoor heated swimming pool, which was one of the best we have used in a hotel. From the hotel it was easy to get a bus into the town, and from there around the island stopping off en-route. We hired bicycles for four days and found it very convenient to reach all parts of the island and back comfortably in a day. This is the very best way to appreciate the twisty, very quiet lanes, and there are plenty of them. We got lost several times!
The hotel itself is excellent, and as our room was to the far end we did not hear any noise from the evening functions. We had been pre-warned about the ongoing work outside the front, but this did not spoil our enjoyment of the hotel at all.
In this area there is one thing that could be improved at little cost. The bicycle rack is too small and needs some improvement. It was undercover until it had to be moved so that the workmen could lay paying slabs, but it didn't rain on the seats, but they did get dusty.
The senior gentleman (from Milano) who looked after us at all our 7 evening meals was absolutely delightful and nothing was too much trouble for him. As we were there for the week we did find that as the main menu did not change we became bored with the choice. Maybe you could consider changing the menu, but we were pleased to be able to order from a much more extensive alternative menu as served in the bar.
We also very much appreciated the attention given to us on our wedding anniversary with several comments from staff and a bottle of non-alcoholic wine and a card. Thank you.The staff on reception desk were all very helpful and met our needs excellently.
Our room on the top floor overlooked the lake and grounds and had a small balcony with one seat and a table. We were told that this was an 'upgrade', so maybe rooms on this side cost more than those on the other side which do not have the beautiful view.
Definitely book a room on the lake side.
The room was of a good size with comfortable beds and pillows, and plenty of toiletries. There was a minor error one morning when we were not topped up with essential supplies, but this was soon rectified.
One negative about the room was the inter-connecting door. It seriously reduced the sound insulation between the two rooms and we could clearly hear the television in the room, especially on our last night. The occupant seemed to have the TV on all night. What was he watching at 4am? We didn't complain as it was our last night, but overall I would definitely come back again if in Guernsey.

In April 2015, Audrey J said about St Pierre Park Hotel
St Pierre Park Hotel is one of the best locations to stay in Guernsey. Situated central, great for catching a bus. Or nipping to town in the car 5 to 10 min.
Great pool nice rooms especially the onces overlooking the gardens.
The hotel is having refurbishment and needs to step up to the mark on a few things. Breakfast self service food is not very warm as the overhead heaters do not seem to be adicuate. When ordering waiter service the poached eggs came hard or 1 hr wait one morning. We complained to the restaurant manager but I am afraid the self service food still was not very warm but he made sure our waiter service order was correct each day and could not do enough to help, very professional.
When we arrived our bed was too soft even though we had asked for boards under the matresses and I am afraid it took 3 trys to obtain a room we had paid extra supp. for to meet our requirements. Either balcony was only for one person to sit on it, one room had a stain on the carpet as you entered ect. But in the end they bent over backwards and we obtained a lovely room bed boards larger balcony overlooking the garden and even found us a fridge. One lovely receptionist, who nothing seemed too much trouble, returned my hair straightners through the post, cannot thank her enough.
We shall always return to St. Pierre Park as we have been visiting Guernsey for 20 years pluss and look forward to our next trip. Maybe offer orthopiedic type matresses if needed.As it is trying to be a 4 star rating.

The St Pierre Park Hotel & golf Resort on Guernsey is well worth a visit for that touch of Luxury. All rooms are spacious and have large bathrooms with crisp laundry and very comfortable super-size beds with tea and coffee facilities and British channel TV.
Now to the Restaurant. The tables are set out in such a way that you are never to close to the next table, then Menu is to die for a 3 course al a cart meal cost me a very reasonable £65.00 with drinks the service is outstanding. There is also a large bar that opens at 11am and stays open until late but apart from serving drinks they have a full and extensive bar menu food is served all day and its a wonderful place for afternoon tea as the large windows overlook the lake and gardens.
The hotel as it said in name has a golf course and spa and gym and shop I would recommend this Hotel if you wish to pamper yourself.

We have just stayed four nights at the Duke of Richmond. We had two rooms, one a double and the other a suite which my daughter used. The hotel was excellent. Incredibly clean. Excellent décor. Great facilities. Above all the staff of each and every Department are the most efficient and courteous in my experience. This includes Reception, Concierge, Cleaning, management.....everything. Norbert the General Manager is approachable, friendly and courteous.
We had breakfast each day. The best breakfast ever. So much choice. I had full English, kippers

We sat down on their terrace the day of our check-in and service was incredibly slow and cocktails were poor.
However from that moment on the personnel has been splendid. Going the extra mile to get us to the harbor in time and always very friendly. The food is quite alright, but would suggest to go into town and for instance try Le petit bistro in the city center. Rooms were definitely not styled to my liking, but very clean and spacious enough for two. After all we had a good stay, mainly because of the (young) staff!

In February 2009, DMCNottingham said about Old Government House Hotel & Spa
I have been going regularly to Guernsey for several years and love the OGH. The staff have always been brilliant and the food fabulous but sadly parts of the hotel were getting a bit tired. However I've just returned from another visit and found they've completed the refurbishment of the main rooms which are now fantastic and the newly refurbished room I stayed in was fabulous. I don't believe anyone could be disappointed - it's up there with the best anywhere.

Having visited this beautiful island regularly over the last decade and stayed in all of the fine hotels here, the OGH consistently delivers as the place I like to come home to after a busy day at the office - or a hard day's shopping! The recent refurbishments have been well worth the wait and the rooms are lovely - so I thought it worth sharing with you. The level of staff service is consistently high, the food is good and the spa is special if you are in need of reviving or destressing. There are plenty of quiet areas for meetings or for relaxing, and the bar area is cosy and comfortable. Well done for the upgrade OGH and for keeping up your excellent standards. See you soon.
