Myself, my mother and my 97yr old grandmother travelled to Guernsey for an early mothers day treat. The hotel was perfect for us. We booked a room with a lakeside view. Although you couldn't see the lake from inside the room, there was a large terrace outside our room where you could sit which looked out over the lake. Our chambermaid was excellent and promptly responded to every request and our room was always very clean. The pool and facilities such as jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were excellent, we used them daily.We also liked that there was a wet and dry changing room and a relaxation room with daily papers and tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast was great and there was a lot of choice- a huge fresh fruit platter, porridge to order or a traditional fried breakfast buffet and our breakfast waiter was very attentive. It is also well situated for access to St Peter's Port.

The completely refurbished hotel impressed me with a nice and quite large bedroom, a very modern and spacious bathroom as well as with an excellent breakfast buffet. An indoor swimming pool - not just a "pond" - invited for real swimming. The atmosphere in the hotel and the service were nice and welcoming.

Most travellers will be familiar with the hot and stuffy hotel room - and hopefully there will be aircon or windows to achieve the required balance. Sadly not so at the St Pierre, where the only option is to open a sliding door onto an all too accessible flat roof; built some 30 years ago, it is time this hotel reviewed its room ventilation - if it was stuffy and too hot in April, heaven help those staying in August !
There is evidence of a general lack of awareness from management as to overall standards: the view from the Fountain balcony and restaurant is despoiled by dead or dying shrubs festooned with brambles; towel robes are only available at the pool changing facilities, so would-be swimmers cannot dress/undress in one's room, but have to do so in the communal changing rooms; Dinner in the Renoir restaurant is well cooked and presented, but costly and insubstantial; bar prices are similarly inflated.
In sum, an adequate Hotel for a short break, but could do better !

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.

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

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.
