Stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is pleasant if looking a little dated from outside! The rooms were clean and breakfast was good. The kids enjoyed using the pool which was really nice. The grounds of the hotel are also lovely and it's well located, we were able to walk into St. Peter port in 15-20 mins. Staff were mostly friendly although some struggled with english. Not the best hotel in the world but a good stay.

We, a group of three couples, stayed here for four nights in May 2014. Our rooms on the topmost (second) floor were clean and well equipped, notably with what looked like a recently renovated bathroom and a well stocked tea/coffee etc tray.
Foodwise the buffet breakfast was good; and there were several items available to order. For dinner there was the Victor Hugo restaurant where the food was good but the service rather slow, especially given that the place was not that busy.
Alternatively there was the Pavilion Restaurant, a separately run business, Things ran more efficiently there.
On two nights we ate in St Peter Port where there are many dining options. Our first was Mora on the sea front. This was very enjoyable and we were a bit lucky to get a table for six since it was Guernsey's Liberation Day.
Three days later we ate in the Dix Neuf brasserie. This, too, was good.

We have just revisited St Pierre Park after giving it a miss for a number of years, because we had heard it had undergone a major overhaul and achieved a number of improvements. Overall, that is true. The decor is now attractive, it is scrupulously clean and the breakfast - setting, food and service - must be the best on the island. However, for a four star hotel there are a number of disappointments. The bedroom's lovely view was fine, but the beds were rather hard and the pillows even more so; there was no minibar, security safe, beach-wrap or slippers; the chamber-maid seemed rather surly, perhaps disorientated with her rather limited English; nor is the sound-proofing very good, either from adjacent rooms or from public rooms which had dinner-dances on two consecutive nights. Their vaunted Victor Hugo restaurant was no better than we remembered it: an unremarkable menu, appallingly poor service and high prices; it should learn from the competition in St Peter Port, especially from La Nautique and The Absolute End. Overall our 4-night stay was enjoyable but I doubt if we will be going there again. We love Guernsey and only hope that La Grande Mare Hotel on the West Coast gets back on to the form that we fondly remember.

We spent a long weekend here and it was lovely. The pool was great, our room clean and welcoming and for breakfast there was plenty to chose from.
We also had a function in the hotel and I was impressed with the organisation.
It made our holiday special.

Stayed here for 3 nights and was very impressed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The service is excellent and the breakfast is one of the best I have come across in any hotel. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Great choice of hot drinks in the room too.

Staying over after a rugby match is always a pleasure at the St Pierre Park. Close to the stadium with a wide range of facilities, comfortable, relaxed, and pleasant.
After the joys of the rugby club on Saturday night the breakfast is always very welcome.

We enjoyed a very nice stay at the St. Pierre Park Hotel. There was more to do at the hotel than our 2 day stay allowed. The entire staff we met were both professional and friendly. We were with our 5 year old daughter and the staff really made her feel welcome, starting with a small activity book we found upon arrival in our room. One morning before heading to the beach she was presented with a bucket and shovel for our shell collecting and sand castle building.
The breakfast was excellent with a large selection. We enjoyed some time in the indoor pool. The rest of the spa looked inviting and would have loved to spend more time in the spa for a treatment if our scheduled allowed.

A great weekend at St Pierre Park. We were there for a reunion with a group of friends and the hotel was a great choice. We rented a car as we were a little way out of St Peter Port, but the regular and reliable bus service passes right by the hotel so we could probably have managed without one.
We had a private dinner on one evening and were well looked after by the catering team.

We had a short break here just for 4 nights mid week. The room was comfortable and very clean, the food was lovely the staff too. There is a marvellous lake in the huge garden which we were lucky enough to see from our room.
Downstairs there is a spa complex, swimming pool and Jacuzzi all you need to totally relax and we did, only downside is there is no air conditioning in the room we had and patio doors, so not wishing to leave doors open all night we stifled a bit and there was also machine noise which we couldn't pinpoint, however I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Underneath the hotel is the pavilion restaurant and we had a cream tea here was good scones were very good. I notice there are a few comments about noise I imagine as we were midweek that wasn't an issue for us.
Breakfast was really good lots of choice and all hot.

I had booked to stay for more than a week and had great expectations to enjoy a great holiday stay at St Pierre Park Hotel
I will explain what I felt were the ‘short comings’ of the hotel first and finish with the best bits!
I agree with the term stated in an earlier review of ‘function hotel’ and business–oriented.
Although you are forewarned by a letter pushed under your door of functions, it does not alleviate the problem of excessive noise and people shouting and talking even post function which results in disturbed nights!
If you are ‘noise sensitive’ arrange a room away from the function room.
The main bars are closed to residents on function nights giving a feeling that residents are of secondary importance!
My room had an interconnecting door; I could hear most conversations and in particular every word of phone conversations spoken next door.
On occasions time waiting for ordered food could have been better.
If my company was ‘footing’ the bill or I was attending a function I would be very happy to enjoy the hotel for what it is, I do not personally see it as a holiday hotel.
Now the good bits!
When I arrived I felt the hotel was very impressive, the gardens, lake and golf course are lovely and well cared for.
Every member of staff I had contact with was polite, professional and took time when possible to have a short conversation.
All staff was helpful and did their utmost to be helpful and caring making my stay as enjoyable as was possible.
Breakfast was good and provided for all needs with freshly cooked options from the kitchen available to order.
Dining location is between the Terrace Bar and Victor Hugo Restaurant,
both provide well for all needs.
The leisure centre was well run, very clean and well maintained, the reception team was exceptional, they were warm, welcoming and professional ensuring your visit was well catered for. The pool was lovely, the steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi were all in good order.
My room was spotless and kept that way daily throughout my stay, the good sized bed was extremely comfortable.
A balcony provided a welcome facility to enjoy the lovely weather during my stay.
The bathroom was excellent, again spotless and well serviced throughout my stay.
Summing up I had a really good holiday, loved Guernsey and will possibly return, but although St Pierre Park Hotel is a lovely hotel and I was well looked after and enjoyed my stay despite the comments above my personal preference will be a more holiday-oriented hotel.
