Had a lovely treatment with Jasmine today. Friendly, relaxing and just the right pressure on the massage. Hotel and health suite staff all friendly polite and helpful.

Health suite is clean, quite and a lovely place to relax in.

I regularly stay in Guernsey with work and this is a hotel the client often uses. To be honest, it is always good to see the travel request come back with the St Pierre Park and I've used almost all of the facilities now, so it seems a good time to leave a review.

The hotel is well established. It sits on a beautiful plot and has about 4 floors of rooms. Some look out over the stunning waterfall and landscaped area, others face toward the front of the hotel.

The rooms are well equipped but some feel a little dated. Others are going through a refurb programme and are offered as 'executive' or 'premium' - I can't actually remember the phrase they use. These new ones unfortunately, while being more modern, reek of fresh paint and new flatpack furniture so it's quite off putting. The rooms have been given a more modern feel but until the strength of the refurbishment smell subsides, I'd be happier staying in the 'older' rooms. All in, that's a compliment to how well the older rooms still are.

All rooms have a good sized bed, free and reasonably fast wifi, a flat screen TV (reasonable channels), with tea and coffee making facilities as well as a fridge (some rooms have water in them, others don't) and of course an en-suite bathroom. The bed is comfortable and the rooms are, by and large well equipped. Writing the review immediately after the hot spell we have had though makes me think that the west facing rooms really do need some air conditioning which unfortunately none have. If you leave the balcony open, it is invariably closed by the housekeeping staff so coming back in the evening, means you can be walking in to what feels like a furnace, all be it - a very clean one - the staff do a great job in making sure the rooms are cleaned and well looked after. The bathroom though does feel dated with no change for the newer rooms and whilst you do get the standard little pots of shampoo and all of that, they really could focus on the shower pressure, heat and general use. In some rooms, it seems okay, in others you have to start it, wait for a while and pray for a reasonable amount of heat/pressure. A few have had chipped/broken hose connections.

Reception on the other hand, has always been super efficient, check in is quick if you've stayed before and during check out they can process spend direct to any card you've left for authorisation. I like how quick and very polite this part of your stay is and it's a welcome plus for any hotel to get this right. SPP definitely have.

On to the food - a little disappointing if I am honest. It seems such a shame to have a good hotel which doesn't excel at their food offering. Guernsey is so very good at food and drinks that I just don't get why the SPP doesn't try and compete. I've tried a few times and while the hot food is hot and the cold food is cold, it just doesn't make me say - "great meal" - when almost every other place I've eaten at on this island - does.

On to the gym, which is superb. It has gone through a recent refurbishment programme and the equipment is modern, the gym areas (multiple rooms) are well laid out and everyone who attends seems happy with what they get. I haven't used the spa or the pool but you really do get a great feel about the place. There are multiple classes going on when I visit in the morning and/or evening and it's never so busy that you can't do a workout or are prevented doing so because of personal trainer lessons.

I'm not a golfer by any stretch of the imagination but we've had a go at this stunning course, a couple of times. The booking can be made online and even when you can't bring your own clubs, the shop is very well prepared in making things right with hiring anything needed. The course is very well kept and there is a whole new area being built which will bring a new driving range, club house and training facilities. If I'm there when finished, I can't wait to use this.

Breakfast is a high I want to end on.... this place is perfect, there is a great selection of cereals, fruits, yoghurts, cheeses, pastries as well as gluten free options alongside a full hot selection and a menu on the table of special items such as kippers/porridge/pancakes etc. Add to this some great restaurant staff and it's a really good way to start the day.

All in, I really like the SPP, I enjoy staying here and I look forward to staying again over the next few weeks with work and again very soon with my wife and our children.

In June 2017, GingeSam said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We did a 3 night break at the St Pierre and couldnt fault the hotel. The staff are all lovely and cant do enough for you. The rooms and hotel areas are all spotlessly clean. Nice views over the small lake at the back of the hotel at breakfast and in the evening whilst using the bar. We didnt use the spa, as the weather was amazing, so we were hardly in the hotel, but we did have a quick look and its lovely and ideal for a spa break. All in all a nice hotel within a 15 minute walk of the centre of St Peter Port

We have recently stayed at this lovely resort in Rohais, Guernsey, close to St Peter Port.

Standards are high in all areas of the hotel - in particular, the leisure facilities - and especially the spa & swimming pool. If your stay coincides with good weather, as it did with us, the outdoor facilities provide comfort and lovely views over the lake and gardens.

We stayed on a room & breakfast deal - a good selection of breakfast items are available on a self serve basis, but there are other a la carte items that can be ordered from and served by a generally friendly, caring and attentive restaurant team. We did however briefly visit the main restaurant where dinner was served - and it looked very nice. It was very busy too, which speaks for itself.

The bar is impressive with a lovely terrace looking out towards the lake.

Our bedroom and bathroom were excellent, very clean and well furnished. We were lucky to have a small balcony that overlooked the gardens and lake on floor 4.The room also contained a good sized fridge,

The location is, for those who like a stroll, around 45 minutes walk from the busy and beautiful waterfront and harbour. Its downhill most of the way, but I would recommend you get one of the very regular buses back to Rohais which takes around 10 - 15 minutes.The stops are very close to the hotel (near Waitrose)

For the sporting type, apart from the swimming, there are some lovely tennis courts and a proper 9 hole golf course. You can hire sporting equipment if needed.

There is a large car park at the front and side of the hotel.

The taxi trip to and from the airport takes around 15-20 minutes and cost us £10 per trip.

We really enjoyed our stay at the St Pierre Park, and look forward to returning in the future.

This hotel is ideally located close to the sea and shopping centre. Staff are very helpful and the rooms comfortable.
We only ate breakfast in the hotel but this was excellent. The bar areas are also nice with plenty of seating and I did notice people having afternoon tea and cakes which also looked excellent.

Fabulous.
Will come again. None of this should come as a surprise to anyone as this is the place to come. Marvellous staff, all top drawer. It's up market, and not cheap. But. Sensibly, there is a bottle of wine for those treating themselves to something they would not usually afford.
Top quality food, and plenty of it, unlike similar top quality hotels where the presentation is key, often in place of a proper dinning experience.
Incredible staff. Valet parking. It sits above the town with wonderful views. Peaceful, quiet, and charming.

This was the 4th time we had stayed here and I was expecting to give an automatic 5-star review. There are a lot of good things to be said about this hotel. The friendliness and attentiveness of staff, where nothing seems to be too much trouble. The surroundings and decor of the bedroom (ok, may have been a bit beige). A superb sauna/steam-room/jacuzzi combo. The attention to detail - recognition that we were there for a 30th wedding anniversary through cakes to our room and a heart-shape on the bed made of fresh flower petals (well, my wife thought it romantic). But the difference between a good hotel and a great hotel is made by marginal differences, and we both felt that there was something ever so slightly off compared to previous visits. We think that the restaurant service and standards weren't quite what they were, but as mentioned, it is marginal. Enough for 4.9 stars if that were possible. Would we stay here again? Most probably. Before this trip it would have been automatic and unequivocal.

We stayed for 5 nights over Liberation day and couldn't fault either the facilities, food or service. In particular all the staff were keen to help in any way they could. The Brasserie was delightfully situated so that the moning sun shone into the room during breakfast.

The hotel is very close to the centre of St Peter Port and its seafront which is only 10 mins away (although longer on the way back!)

The OGH is a superb 5* hotel situated close to the heart of St Peter Port and a few minutes walk from the ocean. The rooms are elegant and very comfortable. The public areas are stylish and upmarket. But the real highlight was the quality, style and professionalism of the staff who were very helpful and could not be faulted in any way. They truly make the experience at the OGH memorable. We would highlight Zoe at reception who took the time to explain the various tourist attractions, suggest restaurants and activities - she made sure we made the best use of our weekend stay.

Guernsey is a gem of an island.We have stayed in 8 or 9 lovely hotels
there.This year we chose the famous O.G.H.From arrival to departure the service from all staff was excellent and faultless.The public ground floor rooms are elegant and very comfortable.The disappointment was when we saw our room.Small to the point of chlostrophobia, nowhere even to store our suitcases..Next day we asked to upgrade but decided the cost too much.We were shown a room in the same catergory which we accepted.This room was more airy but had it’s own problems.Safe difficult to access, poor quality tiny shower cubicle,and shabby furnishings,But the bed was lovely.The receptionist who organised the move was also very helpful.But the rooms were not worthy of a 5 Star hotel and therefore spoiled our 5 night stay.J.P.
