We chose the A La Carte Menu,which was well thought out,the food was well presented and the quality was very good.
The service was excellent.
The wine list was not over priced.

The set menu makes for a great value meal without any compromise on food quality or presentation. The meringue sweet is particularly to be recommended if you are fed up with the dry powdery things which are often served up.

Just spent the weekend at this hotel as part of a break which included taking part in the round the island walk.It was just the place to relax after walking for eleven hours .The staff were really attentive and the food in the Indian Restaurant was absolute quality.
The room was very comfortable with loads of towels and nice thick robes,filter coffee various teas and hot chocolate.We had a sea view overlooking the outside pool which was heated to just the right temperature which was just the place for my wife to unwind with a glass of champagne.
We had a really good time and will definitely visit again.

I go to Guernsey three times a year, on business. The only benefit is being able to stay at this hotel. I cannot rate this hotel highly enough. Staff are great, with some remembering my name from previous visits. Certain rooms can be a bit small, but so very comfortable and clean.
If only all towns and cities on the mainland had a Red Carnation hotel! I also stay in a sister hotel in London, again very good.
Stay here!

This is my third review of the Bass - not something I usually do but I love it so much I don't think I can ever really emphasise enough just how wonderful it is.
During our pandemic enforced absence from Jersey it was the Bass and the zoo I was missing the most and looking forward to getting back to and I'm delighted to report that it was totally worth the wait and standards remain as high as ever. I don't think I've highlighted in the past just how wonderful Kirstie is - she's a massive, massive part of why we keep coming back and enjoying it so much. I believe the two waiting staff on duty were relatively new and I've seen so, so many managers/hosts snapping away at new staff, piling pressure on them and terrifying them beyond repair...Kirstie is the complete opposite. Relaxed, smiling, conversational and the result is there is never a dip in standards and our service was friendly, efficient and never overbearing, with Kirstie checking in to talk us through some of the dishes and the abundance of local produce - she's a joy.
I could rave even more about the food like I always do, it was fabulous and the beetroot/goats cheese starter is nailed on as my wife's favourite of all time but I'd really like this review to really be all about the staff and just the general vibe and exuberance of the place. Already can't wait until we can visit again.

Just spent 4 nights in Room 208 and from the minute we arrived to the minute we left the staff were amazing as was the hotel . The decor is stunning and I loved the leopard bar and the foyer is very nice. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful I have ever met - having worked for a large hotel chain myself I know how hard their job is and they did it with seamless effiency and were the happiest team of hotel staff i have ever met and nothing was too much for them .
The room may have been a bit on the small size but the decor was excellent and cleanliness was to be complimented also the small bathroom was super clean and had everything anybody could need
The Leopard Bar & Restaurant were 1st class - we loved the food, the cocktails and the fantastic service from all the lovely staff
Also we thought the breakfast was excellant the staff were fantastic and the food also was great as you could have whatever combo of breakfast you wanted and it was cooked to order
DOR is one of the best hotels we have stayed in - the staff are all wonderful and we hope to return

The service we had was second to none, we only stayed 3 nights but staff made a real effort to remember our names, a little thing but a nice touch. The accommodation was clean, spacious and well maintained. The decor was interesting! Some might say a bit 'bling', yes animal print furniture, upholstery and carpets in your average house would look a bit tacky, but in this hotel it was fun and a little tongue in cheek. Breakfast was great, lots of choice, well presented and good quality. The only minor drawback is lack of parking spaces, which is due to the location in St Peter Port, I feel mean even mentioning this but it's worth warning people to drop bags off and then park, this wol not put us off going back
