In October 2014, HotelGuestVisitor said about St Pierre Park Hotel
The St. Pierre Park Hotel is located in the countryside; approximately 30 – 40 minutes’ walk from the main town of St. Peter Port. Bus No's. 41 and 42 run every 15 minutes Mon-Sat – less frequently on a Sunday, and reach the hotel in around 15 minutes. The hotel overlooks attractive gardens and a lake, and there is a Waitrose supermarket conveniently located across the road.
Check-in/Out:
Quick and efficient, staff were pleasant and helpful. It is the first hotel for more years than I care to mention, that I have been handed a key rather than a card for the room!
Room:
The room I was allocated was a little dated and featured dark wood furniture and could do with modernising. Having said that it was nice, clean and functional. I was surprised to find that there was no air conditioning for a hotel of this rating. The bed was very comfortable with plenty soft pillows. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided. All rooms seem to have a balcony or terrace with table and chairs.
Bathroom:
Appeared to have been recently refurbished; it was of a reasonable size though the shower pressure was pitifully inadequate. It was clean other than the bath plughole having a clump of hair from previous occupants - yuk!
Wi-Fi:
Good to find free Wi-Fi provided, though weak signal in the room.
Public Areas:
Dated; having said that it did have a certain charm.
Breakfast:
Good selection, though the coffee was a bit stewed. Pleasant staff.
Pavilion Café:
Located on the lower ground floor; nice food and again very pleasant staff.
Spa:
Consists of small gym, pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room (steam room seating full of cracks), and a type of relaxation room which had tea and coffee making facilities. Robes are provided as you need to walk back and forwards through the spa reception area depending on the facility you wish to use, showers are divorced from the changing rooms for example. Again this whole area is in need of a revamp to bring it up to modern standards.
Overall:
The hotel is a dated but has it does have a certain charm. Had a comfortable stay and would not hesitate to visit again.

I only stayed one night, and a very rainy one at that, but this was a pleasant comfortable large hotel. The room was clean, the bathroom spacious, the bed comfortable. The lifts looked a little tired, and some of the corridors were long and bland, but otherwise the place looked well presented. I wondered whether they could improve the security of the patio doors from the balconies, as these could potentially be accessed from other rooms.
The highlight for me was ordering a light meal at the bar, as a member of staff made that feel really special, laying out a table cloth and then serving nuts and olives with my drink and then a tasty moussaka with a well-dressed salad and garlic bread, for a very reasonable price. Breakfast was also good, with a nice range of fresh fruit. The other guests were mainly of retirement age, and appeared well looked after.
I was disappointed not to get to the poor or spa. If I visit Guernsey again I will definitely stay here again.

we spent four nights at the St Pierre Park Hotel in September. From the reception staff when we booked in everyone was very pleasant and helpful. The grounds are lovely to walk around.Bedrooms were very comfortable the only thing that was lacking was that there was no fridge in the room which I found unusual in a 4 star hotel.Flavio the restaurant manager really made our breakfast times very entertaining,especially making my poached eggs each morning!!!Would certainly stay again and recommend it to other people.

A beautiful hotel in lovely surroundings, we had a three night stay and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
Our room was well presented, the beds comfortable, with plumptious pillows! We slept extremely well in peaceful surroundings.
Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, service good and all staff very friendly and helpful.
We had the swimming pool to ourselves, and would have liked to stay longer.

Stayed here for 2 nights for an RAF Squadron Association reunion. The rooms were spacious, the bed large and comfortable with 3 large pillows each. The decor was good throughout the hotel.
Being a reunion most of food we had during the weekend was taken at the hotel. The Friday evening buffet contained both hot and cold food including lasagne, pork stroganoff, grilled mullet along with various salads, vegetables and potatoes.
The Saturday reunion dinner I had a crab and avocado tian, this was extremely tasty. Mains was roast saddle of lamb with potatoes and veg, again very tasty. The meal ended with vanilla panne cotte with a spiced plum compote again lovely.
The reunion finished with Sunday lunch - a fine selection of roast meats - beef, Turkey, lamb, pork and fish. Various vegetables and potatoes. A large selection of deserts ended the lunch.
The only little comment I can make is the cost of the wine, it seemed a bit pricy but then this is a 4* hotel.
We finished a stay here with a visit to the swimming pool and spa. The only comment I can make about this is the sauna and steam rooms are in the separate male and female changing rooms so you can't continue your conversation with your partner.
All in all this was a really nice hotel and although fairly expensive was well worth the money and the customer service was exceptional.

Had a wonderful weeks holiday in this lovely hotel. We had a room on the second floor just above reception. The room had a small balcony with a table but could only fit one person out there at a time. Being above reception at times when we had the patio doors open it could be noisy but generally it did not bother us. The nice thing was that being on the second floor meant that at the weekend when there are wedding parties you are not kept awake by the noise from the evening reception, I know some people in other rooms did have problems with noise.
The hotel has a lovely view over the lake from the back of the hotel and the rooms at the back of the hotel do have lovely views but our room was quite adequate when I am on holiday I do not want to spend too much time in an hotel room. As long as the room is clean and comfortable and I can get a good nights sleep that is what matters, and this room fulfilled these needs.
We stayed on the half board option and ate in the restuarants every night except one and the food was great and the staff were really lovely and attentive. One night we ate in the bar and have to say we were very disappointed with the meal that night. All the hotel staff we met were polite and helpful.
We did not use our car at all the week we stayed we used the amazing bus service to get us around, the hotel is on a main bus route with buses every 15 minutes costing £1 a journey so it's easier just to get a bus to get around. The hotel is a little way out of St. Peter Port and although I don't mind walking it is quite a trek into town.
I would defiantly recommend this hotel it has a lovely bar area to sit and relax in although the drinks are a little pricey, but overall we had a lovely relaxing holiday.

We stayed here for the first time after many holidays in Guernsey, the hotel is very good. There are a couple of things to consider before you choose this hotel. It is about a 30 minute walk to central St. Peter Port, mainly down hill, this can be a problem if you are without a car, it is on two bus routes the 41 and 42 both go into town and taxis are plentiful. It is both a holiday and business hotel. When we stayed there were a number of conventions going on in the hotel, this could affect a stay there. We had no problem with it. Our room was I understand a standard room. It was perfectly fine and every bit what we expected. We have stayed in many hotels that rate themselves above the Pierre Park only to be disappointed. We would stay here again.

In October 2014, Andrew W said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Having visited three times previously we went back to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary with friends. The staff were very good, helpful, clean and tidy. The room overlooking the gardens and lake was spacious and appeared recently refurbished but poorly finished. Holes in the curtains, badly unfinished tiling in the bathroom, broken door, one towel and robe - we were two and although reasonably clean not fresh. Bed very good. The Victor Hugo restaurant which had a fantastic reputation was very poor indeed. Previously the food had been outstanding but honestly it was beyond disappointing. Breakfast was wonderful. . ~The Staff attentive and really the star of the hotel was the great selection. Hot and cold. Perfect. However the windows were filthy. Thread bare carpets in the lift and curtains hanging down in corridors. Dirty brass and old unclean dried floral arrangements made it seem like a deserted old hotel waiting to be shut down. Fresh flowers in the lobby although someone when delivering had forgotten to take the dead and smelling ones away. The bar area with its two large TV screens which are on day and night constantly playing news one end and sport the other are a total nightmare. There is no where to sit quietly and have a drink or read the papers. To eat in the area you have to either climb up on to the two high stool tables or indeed eat off coffee tables. Its absolutely stupid. The velour covered sofas and chairs are dirty. Sticky in fact. Quite appalling. Please note that my family and i having visited before really can see the hotel in a true perspective. Having been here during all the seasons and at one time over the christmas period we can only say that if action is not taken soon the St pierre Park hotel will be lost as the beautiful hotel it once was forever.

Having visited Guernsey several times before and staying at various hotels I decided this time to choose St Pierre Park. I expected a slightly higher standard than at previous hotels but wow was I surprised. It was first class and could not find fault with anything. The room came above expectations and the breakfast was fantastic with such a choice and to have the dining room overlooking the lake was a bonus. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. The leisure facilities were also very good but the swimming pool could have been a bit warmer for my liking. Unfortunately I did not have time to enjoy any of the pampering as it was fully booked and I was only there for a couple of days. \i would certainly recommend this hotel.

In November 2014, Rosie H said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Stayed for 3 nights for a Reunion. The hotel offered special rates and there were about 100 of us staying. The room we occupied was a reasonable sized twin overlooking the main road so a little noisy but with the window closed you barely noticed it. We arrived quite early on the Friday afternoon but our room was ready. On the Friday evening we had a "Meet and Greet" in a private room with a separate bar and an excellent buffet with many choices which was located in a small room next door so that the main room just had the tables and meant it was easy to move about.
Breakfast everyday was a huge buffet again with a great choice not only of cooked food but cereals, pastries and fresh fruits.
We had a full dinner on the Saturday Night and again the food was delicious, very well cooked and serving staff very efficient.
The hotel had a decent swimming pool with jacuzzi and sauna and there is a golf course attached. It is only about a mile out of town and is on the bus route if you don't have a car or want to drive in to St Peter Port. There is plenty of parking at the hotel too.
We would certainly stay again if we went back to Guernsey.
