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.

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

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!!

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.

We have just returned from a 9 night stay at this hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and firstly have to say that the staff were excellent.
The only drawback as has been mentioned in previous reviews is the problem of noise if you have a room with a door to an adjoining room. We could hear what our neighbours ordered from room service, change their ferry time and snore! They were talking at a normal level of sound. We asked to be moved after the first night but the only rooms available were not particularly good. The staff found us a room the next day -260 - which was fine and they did all they could to accommodate our request so cannot be faulted for this. It is obviously a common complaint.
Overall most of the bedroom doors were on strong springs and this does result in a lot of door slamming throughout the hotel.
We only mention this to help the hotel improve and as a point for future guests to bear in mind.
Overall the holiday was excellent, the pool area is very good, the golf course also and i the hotelis a 25/30 minute steady walk to the harbour. The buses were very good for getting round the island. We didn't eat in the main restaurant but the bar meals were very good. We would recommend the hotel apart from the above comments.

In June 2011, bobandmyra said about St Pierre Park Hotel
My wife and I stayed at the St Pierre Park for the second time in 12 months in the same room as before(requested). It was just as we rememembered it The staff were excellent Reservations were brilliant organising the room we wanted( alderney Suite) arranging for a magnificient bouquet of freesias in room on arrival. All week we enjoyed the good humoured and knowledgeable chat with the reception staff ( Sinead will surely one day be a General Manager). My wife left her mobile when we departed and when we got home Irang Martin on reception, he went to the room and recovered the phone and Iris the front of house manager posted it back to us registered post on the Monday!!!
The room was excellent and Katrina the room maid was as efficient this time as last.and did a magnificient job tidying the room.etc. The shower is the best I have ever used anywhere in the world. The food in the terrace bar was excellent except on the Sunday evening when my wifes meal was inedible however when we ate again on the Friday it was all that you would expect of a 4 star hotel and was wonderful.The Renior restuarant had a limited menu which was poor for such a good hotel and we only ate in there the once because of the limited selection.. Breakfasts were incredible every day. Our stay was excellent and we recommend this hotel wholeheartedly. We will return

In July 2011, Patrick B said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We had a four-night stay at this (by Guernsey standards) very big hotel. This is a genuinely 4-star hotel at close to 3-star rates. I suspect recently renovated - nothing looked "tired". We paid extra for one of the larger rooms, and I think it was worth it - on top of a larger room one gets a better-placed balcony. Our balcony had a lovely view over a lake with two comfortable chairs (and an ashtray!).
The room, bathroom and balcony were spotlessly clean on arrival, and were kept that way. And the bathroom (sorry England) had quality German fittings!
I like the policy that everything is included in the rate - free (and fast) wireless internet, free DVDs, free towels for the swimming pool, etc. I wish all hotels would do the same.
The dining room is quiet and spacious, and with an impressive breakfast buffet. We didn't eat dinner in the hotel, but the daily menu displayed in reception was tempting, and we have no doubt it was excellent. The bar (with a large terrace outside for sunny days) is quiet and very comfortable, with a good bar menu.
The staff was simply impressive. They are everywhere, always with a smile without being intrusive, and without exception seem to enjoy being helpful. Superb!
All in all we think this is the nicest and best-managed hotel we've ever stayed in, and we've been in many.

A 2 week holiday for 2 senior citizens. Our room was on the top floor with lovely views of the garden. Very quiet except when hotel and function at the weekend. We were warned in advance and although some noise, did not affect us badly. Our room was spotless every day but sometimes odd things were missing after servicing e.g. towel, tea bag Friendly attentive knowledgeable staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Bar menu a little limited for us but good food in the Cafe Renoir, use the early bird discount!Enjoyed watching a heron and cormorant on the lake who were regular visitors, also used the spa, crazy golf and walked round the trim trail. Would stay there again if we ever return.

I have the luxury of staying at this Hotel on a very regular basis for work. It is somewhere I really enjoy staying and exceeds my expectations. Close to 'town' (St Peter Port - 20 minute walk). Good gym and spa facilites and apparently good Golf course (not used myself).
Having stayed in many of the rooms the only disappointment was a twin room overlooking the back of the hotel, where it was a little small and the room did not appear to be recently updated. The rest of the rooms must have been refreshed in the last year or two - they are very nice indeed. In fact the beds are as large as some 5* hotels I have stayed in - queen size I think they are called, much bigger than king.
The staff are very good, service is excellent and it's really nice to sit outside the bar to eat a meal on an evening, when the sun is going down with the pond and fountain in the background.
The only compaints I have heard are regarding the air conditioning unit at the front of the hotel (someone was asking to swap rooms), but these are stopped around 11 at night, so they do not stop you from sleeping. I have not noticed what time they start again in the morning. The other thing I heard mentioned is at breakfast - that the bacon is stuck together and it is difficult to seperate off a rasher! I agree, but have to say the breakfast choice is excellent though.
Overall a very good hotel, highly recommended.
