Spent 4 nights at the D.O.R last week for our first stay in Guernsey and the hotel was chosen based on the previous reviews. We were not dissapointed and everything from the initial welcome from reception to our return was fantastic. The staff were the friendliest we have ever experienced and nothing was too much trouble, special mention to Paul in the bar/restaurant. The decor throughout was stunning, loved the prints/posters on each floor. Last of all has to be the food, never had breakfasts of this quality, for any visitors try the Dukes special. Well done the Duke of Richmond.

We had a 5 night stay on holiday to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary and we couldn't have stayed anywhere more perfect. Everything was to the highest standard___from cleanliness,decor,beds etc. The breakfast,as so many people have said ,was superb. However what sets this hotel apart is the way the staff are so attentive and clearly strive for perfection. We are already looking forward to when we can make a return visit.

Spent three nights here. The hotel is not much to look at from the outside, but is nice inside. Quirky decoration in the restaurant areas. Staff friendly and helpful and breakfasts excellent. Did not get around to sampling the evening menu.
Guernsey itself is a beautiful island with stunning scenery and very friendly locals.

a lot to offer the seasoned traveler. Very comfortable bed, good bar, lovely pool and breakfast. The staff was very attentive and it was a lovely place to stay without the kiddos. I remember the first time we went into this place...it left a hold on me! Will stay again

The St Pierre Park Hotel is an easy 10 minute or so drive from the airport and a 5 minute drive (by car or using the very efficient and cheap bus service) or a pleasant 20 minute walk to/from St Peter Port (a bit hilly however).
We arrived at 10:00am expecting just to leave our baggage and return later to check in. However we were informed that our room was ready and we could take occupancy of it immediately.
The Hotel itself was nicely presented with very friendly and helpful staff throughout.
Breakfast was excellent with a large choice of cold and well cooked hot items, with choices such as kippers, haddock, omelettes etc etc all cooked to order.
Our room was clean and tidy, relatively large and well equipped. The bed was very comfy. Fresh clean towels were provided every day.
The grounds were immaculate. A children's play area, tennis courts were available.
The Spa, pool and associated facilities were tremendous.
My only gripe was that we upgraded to an Executive room, having originally booked a Classic room at an additional cost of £20.00 per night - we did this as the Hotel website gave the impression that the balcony provided with an executive room was large - ours wasn't! my wife and I could genuinely NOT sit together on the balcony in any degree of comfort, in fact only one chair and a table was provided (I presume this was more of a smokers balcony, no offence to smokers). The purpose of seeking a larger balcony was so that in the afternoon or evening my wife and I could sit back and relax on that balcony, maybe sipping a glass of wine. Sadly this was not possible. We did try one night but ended up with my wife sitting on the balcony and me sitting in the room!. I guess this did not spoil to any great degree our holiday but I would think that you have by now formed the opinion,as I have devoted a large amount of text to the subject, that it was irritating and very disappointing.
I did take this issue up with the hotel in the early part of our stay but was given the impression by the gentleman on reception that it was 'luck of the draw' and down to which room you were allocated.
My advice - check the size of your balcony when booking a room. In this case size does matter!.
Otherwise a very pleasant hotel.

Rooms were very comfortable. Good choice of breakfast.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
No air conditioning we were offered a fan for my fathers room as he did not wish to leave patio door open at night.
Would stay there again.

Hotel is gorgeous in a great location. The newly renovated health club and spa is absolutely superb.
The room was great. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful with nothing too much trouble.
Ate a couple of times in the Terrace Café Bar and the food was very good as were the breakfasts
Such a relaxing and enjoyable break that if we go to Guernsey again, this will definitely be our first choice.

Decided to go to guernsey for a short break with a fairly late booking. Liked the look of this hotel and decided that I would like to try out the new spa.
I stayed in a junior suite which had a good sized balcony with chairs and sunlounger available and a personal hot tub. The hot tub was very nice and convenient to use.
Otherwise room was great, with nice size and facilities. Only downside was the bed had a split bed put back together and you could feel the join.
Spa was excellent, I only used the pool, sauna, jacuzi and steam room, whole are is brand new and looked and felt it, great fit and finish. Jacuzzi is outdoors on a nice decked area overlooking the gardens.
I ate in hotel once for evening meal and food was of good quality and we'll cooked. Breakfasts where very good and set you up for the day.
Staff friendly all round but bar staff could be a bit more attentive, I noticed a couple of times slight problems with service.
Would I come back, yes I would.

This hotel is in a good position, some 1 miles from the port. Buses are £1 each way from outside the hotel. There is a Waitrose across the road, very handy.
The hotel has a lovely view from the breakfast room, across the lake with fountain, ducks and a resident heron watching the fish.
Our room was lovely, well equipped, comfortable beds, very clean. Breakfast was one of the best we have had, so many choices and food was top quality.
We did not have time to use the swimming pool etc.
The only reason I have not given it top marks is because of the noisy slamming bedroom doors.

First time to this hotel and weren't disappointed set in lovely grounds the hotel was clean and welcoming with helpful and friendly staff.Our room was clean and comfortable with lovely views over the grounds.It was lovely to enjoy having breakfast looking over the lake.The breakfast was a buffet style system which was really nice and offered lots of choices so you could as little or as much as you wanted without waste.We did eat from the evening menu twice which was also very nice but we felt that the menu could have possibly offered a little more choice.I also enjoyed using the lovely swimming pool most enjoyable after a long day.
