Just back from a 3 day stay at this hotel, a member of Hand Picked Hotels Group (my favourite chain!) and absolutely lived up to the standard.
No, these are NOT the top most plush 4* hotels in the world but - they are clean, tidy, superbly run, well appointed, staff absolutely first class and always very friendly and relaxed.
We stayed in one of their Junior Suites (the Jethou) - nice large room and living area with a private sun terrace with rattan loungers, seats and a very nice jacuzzi! Perfect!
One thing worth noting - the price of the food in the bar and room service. TBH I was very surprised at how (for a hotel with this rating) just how reasonable it was! Lots of main courses for around £9-£10 and all nicely done. Breakfast was fantastic - massive selection of just about everything you could want and the lady who was the manager there was very helpful and even remembered our name after one day - nicely done!!! They also do a Sunday buffet (salads, roasts, seafood, cold meats, desert selection etc) for around a bargain £17.95 - if it is anything like their sister hotel on Jersey, L'Horizon, used to do GO THERE as i'm sure it will be brilliant!
The hotel is about 1.5 miles outside St Peter Port (nice and quiet surroundings) - the staff reckon a 20-25 minute walk - suspect this is closer to 45 minutes and up and down hill. BUT take the excellent local bus service - 4 services an hour right through the day and evening to and from town - the bus stop is right outside the hotel entrance - flat rate of £1 per journey no matter if you are going right around the island or just to the next stop!
My only comments which are not really negative but would just add some 'finishing touches' - can you please put some hooks on the back of the bathroom doors and also, a small coffee table in front of the sofas in the suites would be very useful.
All staff friendly and excellent - Anderson and Nicky were very friendly and nothing too much trouble, Tom the Concierge who has been there over 30 years was a fine chap and a font of knowledge about the island and a special thank you to the lovely black haired lady on reception (who had 'trainee' on her badge and whose name I have sadly forgotten) on reception - excellent service throughout, thank you. Thanks too to Euan for ferrying us to the airport following a 'taxi ordering malfunction'!
As always, my acid test - would i stay again - absolutely yes, and will be.

A slightly disappointing stay at St Pierre Park given its reputation as one of the best hotels on the island - although it has four stars it feels as though the place could do with a thorough sprucing up. Our room was on the small size with no aircon or fridge. Nice enough balcony however. We were on the third floor and could still clearly hear the noise of the generator outside the groundfloor rooms clearly even with the window closed - I can only assume this would have been fairly distracting for guests on the lower levels.
This is a large hotel and breakfast was a correspondingly busy affair - that said, it didn't seem to be staffed accordingly with orders requiring an age both be taken and delivered, and various items running out on the buffet. In general the staff were a mixed bag - a few were extremely helpful, but a larger number seemed very inexperienced. Checking in and out were annoying protracted affairs.
On the plus side, the hotel is in a lovely setting and sitting on the terrace overlooking the lake was a charming view. The hotel is well located for a 20 minute or so walk into St Peter Port and the residents' bar was decent enough.
Overall this felt like a missed opportunity for what could be a first rate hotel but one that has been overtaken by better options elsewhere on the island.

We enjoyed our stay at St Pierre Park, we stayed for 5 nights and found all members of staff to be helpful and welcoming. The hotel is in a good location for getting around the island. We did walk into St Peters Port - it took us around 30mins but there is a bus stop within a few minutes walk of the hotel with regular buses in the day to St Peters Port and we used this mainly, we also hired a car during our stay which hotel reception helped to arrange. Our rooms were standard rooms on the third floor, extremely clean and the beds were very comfortable. We had the patio doors open at night as it was hot and the rooms had no air conditioning. Breakfast is buffet style with hot and cold choices. We also used the pool and gym and found these facilities to be very good. The grounds of the hotel are spacious and relaxing.

Breakfast here was my highlight with so many options available.
Rooms we're comfy, however without air con, so we did make use of the patio doors.
Bar has a nice range of board games available to play.
About a 20 minute walk to the main port, but staff will happily arrange taxis for you - bear in mind there is often a wait for your taxi, so book this in advance.

What is the point in offering early bird restaurant deals between 6&7 if there are no tables available as they are all booked for 7 and later! At 6.15 the restaurant was empty!!!! Not great for customer service or relations!

We stayed in the Alderney suite for one night for my birthday and loved it. We didn't really leave the room as we obviously specifically came for what the suite had to offer, more specifically the garden and jacuzzi. The staff who brought our (numerous) room service orders were really friendly and professional. The room was very comfortably kitted out. I think the decor is a tad out of date though and it was a little weird for me to see that there weren't really any toiletry supplies (there was a note saying we should contact reception for this). I also didn't think the food was great (both dinner and breakfast). However, the overall experience of our night in the suite was fantastic!

We have recently returned from Guernsey, the Hotel itself is on the outskirts of St Peter Port, definately not walking distance, even for the fit and able.
Unfortunately it is right on a very busy road and we were unlucky to be allocated a room right next to the road, which for us was extremely noisy. One of the reasons we choose this hotel was becasue it was not in the centre of St Peter Port where we thought it would be noisy.
On Arrival - we were dealt with efficiently, but not with any warmth. In fact the whole time we were there - we didn't feel particularly welcome.
The bar staff were always extremely courteous, but again, not particularly engaging.
We ate in the hotel one evening at the bar, which was OK, but the tables are to low for comfortable eating.
Our room - although noisy was very nice, very clean and well kept.
Overall - would we go back - possibly not, having stayed in Jersey at the Pomme D'or, where the staff were amazing and extremely welcoming, we now feel very let down by our experience here.

Generally, the Hotel was very good, we asked for a quiet room, and after getting used to the Air Conditioning Unit outside, its wasn't too bad, although we had to keep the balcony door shut or it would have been too noisy!. Long walk into town, and even longer back, as the first part is a very steep hill! Beakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. We ate once in the Restaurant on the Early Bird Deal and with the discount it was a reasonable price, with very nice food. The second time we ate there, there must have been a different chef.. The starter was 3 very small scallops ( The previous time we had 4 large scallops ) and the main course was and extremely small and dry piece of pork, 3 new potatoes and about half a dozen green beans. We decided not to try the desert! Very very disappointing and expensive...Didn't eat there again- most guests must have known, as both times the restaurant was practically empty!
However, the Hotel itself was fine, rooms good, beds very comfortable, grounds very quiet, staff generally friendly.

The best thing about this hotel was the very comfortable bed. There was also sparkling and still water, a nespresso machine, free wifi and a bathrobe which were nice touches. The room was generally very clean apart from an unfortunate carpet stain. The reception staff seemed efficient but weren't very friendly and my wake-up call never arrived. My only concern about my first floor room was that the balcony opened up on to a roof terrace which meant I couldn't open the patio door to cool the room down as anyone would have been able to walk right in. So as there was no air conditioning I had a rather warm and stuffy night. The breakfast was very good. A good choice on the buffet supplemented by a range of other dishes you could order. I enjoyed my pancakes and a mouthful of my colleagues delicious kipper. Another had Eggs Benedict.
