We were here for a wedding reception and we can't praise it as a venue too much. The menu was very well balanced. The main course was roast beef and all the timings. It didn't taste like hotel food, but rather more like a roast meal you would cook at home. The jus was delicious and I could have been very greedy with the potatoes, the beef was cooked to perfection. The service was courteous and very helpful. there were no long waits for anything, as there often are at functions of this kind. I would recommend it to anyone about to plan a reception of any kind.

We had an amazing 4 night stay at this luxurious hotel. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here. It is sheer luxury and it is so tastefully and gracefully decorated. So much attention to detail to make your stay just sublime. The breakfast is just amazing with a wonderful selection made to your specifications. Unfortunately it was too cold to swim but the pool area is just fabulous. It is also in a great location with just a short walk into town and the port. Highly recommended.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights as part of our 30th wedding anniversary celebrations, our first visit to Guernsey. The hotel is conveniently placed just up from the shopping area in St. Peter Port, but approach by car is narrow and unloading a bit tricky. However, they parked the car for me as soon as we had the bags out which was helpful. Andi greeted us and told us we could have an upgrade for the first two nights, to ensure we wouldn't be disturbed by a wedding reception. She also worked some magic and on the third night we had a room with a balcony, upon which we sat and toasted our 30 years and the end of our holiday with a good sparkling wine from room service. Breakfasts were good, with a fair choice at the buffet and tasty cooked options. We ate once in the evening, the food was good but pricey, normally it would have impressed but we had just come from the top Jersey hotel which was sublime. Both rooms we had were clean, well presented and had the facilities expected. Overall, it was a great base from which to explore Guernsey and the staff were warm, welcoming and highly professional.

We were invited to a function with over 50 guests. Ambiance is very good and restaurant to a high standard. The food was very good and the service likewise.Wines and drinks were served efficiently by polite and courteous staff.
We would be more than happy to return to this hotel restaurant.

The staff are a credit to the hotel, very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is nice, although the rooms are pretty small. Other than that a great option when staying in Guernsey close to St Peter Port.

This hotel never fails to impress me with their level of customer care and service. I stay here on a regular basis for business and nothing is ever too much trouble from the moment I arrive through to departure.
The hotel is within walking distance of St Peter Port, has undergone a transformation in recent years under new ownership and a huge investment in the hotel. The bedrooms vary in size and shape due to this being a relatively old building in fact several adjoining buildings which gives it character but in a very positive way. The rooms and bathrooms are all are immaculate and furnished to a very high standard with everything that you could need and more. Some rooms have distant sea views which is nice.
A good restaurant, bar and outside area.
A great hotel to return to with special mention of Aaron on reception/front desk who always has a smile and a positive outlook on everything.

We stayed for 4 nights in this excellent hotel. Our room, on the third floor, overlooking the harbor of St. Peter Port was terrific. A comfortable bed, spacious room and a view. The staff were always pleasant and helpful and the bar staff and Maitre De in the dining room a warm and professional leader of a great team. The food in the dining room is first class and we ate breakfast and dinner here, happily, every day. The location is a short, downhill walk, into the main part of town and the busy port. Walking around St.Peter Port is easy but it's hilly so one way is a breeze and the other more of a work out. We recommend this excellent hotel to you all.

The service from all staff was excellent. food good the booze was a bit pricey.
Room excellent. Very quiet due to padded walls which was an interesting feature. View
across bay to Sark excellent. the Beds were superb so much so we tried to buy the set on return but found it was wholesale only. Location on the map was close to the prom. but is a £7.50 taxi ride back. Due to hills and one way systems. It is about 20 Mins downhill to town. Not a hotel for the unfit!!

My husband and I recently returned to the hotel for a second time. We live on the island of Jersey and often pop across to Guernsey on our boat. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. There are lots of little touches that make the difference...juice freely available at Reception, bottles of water and towels by the entrance for those going for a jog or walk, jars of sweeties by the restaurant. Room was comfortable and the air conditioning was good to have during the heatwave.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and as it was a 3 for 2 offer it was exceptional value. The room was excellent considering it wasn't classed as a suite but still had a small sofa and arm chairs. The real bonus with the hotel though was the dinning room and bar staff. Super smooth, super efficient, helpful but not "in your face". Pretty much perfect for our requirements.
