We stayed at St Pierre Park hotel on a Travelzoo deal including car hire for 3nights......the hotel is lovely, well positioned for base to visit all tourist attractions on Guernsey (not being a large island) also catching the bus in to town. A Waitrose is opposite but we didn't spot it straight away. We had a garden ground floor room with connecting twin for our daughter, who loved having her own appartment with couch & TV! Everyone there helpful especially as we had to rearrange our Condor crossing before we got there! Will be back, but flying next time! :-)

I stay here on business and the staff are fantastic, welcoming, helpful and efficient. The bar has a nice relaxed atmosphere and breakfast is really good. Meals cover all tastes and the chilli is really good. The rooms are spacious, beds are comfy and the showers are nice and hot. Never had a bad stay and look forward to my next visit.

Very nice hotel, pleasant staff, quiet and comfortable rooms, good breakfast. Not within walking distance of any restaurants for dinner, but the hotel has a dining room (satisfactory food), and downtown is only a short taxi ride away. Would happily stay here again.

We stayed here for 3 nights over Christmas. The hotel is very nice with lovely gardens. Some disappointment with rooms re mattress not too comfy and iron burn mark (large and obvious) on carpet which prevented me from rating hotel as excellent. Meals were exceptional - very high standard menu offering multiple choices for all courses.
Staff were very attentive and helpful with any request made met effectively and efficiently. Staff and depute manager, Carlos were particularly helpful with a problem I had regarding a purchase I made in a department store. Late Christmas eve I noticed store assistant had omitted to take security tag off garment. I was due to return to Scotland before they reopened after Christmas break. Carlos offered to have one of his staff take garment back to store after Christmas and post it back to me.
Would definitely recommend hotel .

An aging hotel that would do well with a make-over. It's in walking distance to the city, but mind traffic on the pitch black nights – the roads are narrow and lights are non-existent. Staff of the hotel are friendly and it's situated close to a Waitrose market. A tip: Be mindful of the room you get. There's a huge difference between the more recently renovated rooms and the older ones. I know I've had two very different experiences.

We stayed at St Pierre Park Hotel on a package deal from Travelsmith which included flights, accommodation and car hire, the latter to be recommended for full enjoyment of Guernsey unless you are very keen walkers! We had a very good room with views over the lake and blissfully comfortable bed. Breakfast was as good as we have ever had, and the dinner we had on our first night was very good. The swimming pool was very quiet and so tempting I had to get a swim suit to enjoy it. I would certainly recommend this hotel for a quiet break, with a charm and character lacking in most modern hotels. The ground floor rooms are currently being refurbished.

Nice hotel, comfortable rooms, friendly and well trained staff, excellent food. We can highly recommend it. The breakfast buffet gave plenty of choice, supper was delicious. Too bad we only stayed for two nights, but we decided to come back in summer so we can enjoy the park and the beach.

We stayed at this hotel with my partner during our trip to Guernsey for a very special ocassion. And the hotel did not let us down in any possible way. We arrived to Guernsey in the morning and our room was prepared for us within an hour after our arrival but well before the regular check-in time (which we thought was nice of the hotel staff). Our room was well maintained and clean, and the bathroom was expecially nice with a big bath good for two. The pool and sauna at the spa zone were enjoyable and clean too...with only a few people using them. Meals at the hotel were delicious and we trully enjoyed our breakfasts and ocassional dinners at the hotel restaurant. The only inconvenience was that we did not rent a car and it took us about 30 minutes to walk from the hotel to the town centre/piere but it was a enjoyable walk anyways. Would we stay there again - yes.

Stayed here for two nights and found the staff excellent, the room spacious, comfortable and well appointed, and the breakfasts delicious (I'm a greedy person who appreciates a proper breakfast when I'm away on business as it makes a change from the prunes & all-bran diet at home). I really liked the Nespresso coffee machine in the room - nice touch.
The hotel is about a mile and a half from the centre of St Peter Port which means you'll need a hire car/taxi/bus to get in and out of town unless, like me, you enjoy walking. In fact, I think the Guernsey is best done on foot which is why I did the hour and a half walk from the hotel to the airport this morning.

This wasn't my first choice of hotel for a business visit to Guernsey but Moore's was sold out along with most of the other hotels allowed on my corporate booking system.
Check in was ok but not the most pleasant receptionist with minimal smiling, eye contact and conversation. I do remember her name but I won't repeat it here.
The first room I was assigned was room 415. This is a nice large room but has one major draw back - it has a large extractor fan in the ceiling about 1m x 1m this makes a lot of noise. There is no way I could have got to sleep in this room unless I had been sedated. I immediately returned to reception and rejected the room. My somewhat sullen receptionist told me they were full but she would see what they could do. A couple of minutes later she returned with a key to 163 this is a twin room and my original was a double.
The room itself was acceptable although none of the furniture matched and the wardrobe was a bit rickety. The bathroom was fine and had a good selection of toiletries.
The hotel has a generic set of features to most rooms in that they have a balcony or patio door. This can be a double edged sword. On the one hand in the summer it is nice if you want to sit outside or if you are a smoker you can smoke outside your room. On the other if people are talking outside when you are trying to sleep you will get disturbed as I found out at 2AM when someone two rooms away was outside talking at the top of his voice on a mobile phone. As it disturbed me it probably disturbed anyone in 155 to 165 and in 255 to 265 as well. I appreciate this isn't actually the hotels fault but be warned this can happen.
Whilst I'm on the subject of being disturbed there is a an aircon unit which kicks in at about 0630 and is in a basement area outside room 155. If you are in this area it will disturb you at this time although it did turn off by about 0700 but long enough to ensure that you will be awake at this time.
I ate in the bar which was pleasant enough with reasonably priced food and attentive staff. There are two large screen TVs if watching sport is your thing. If you want a bit of quiet then don't sit near the bar as the floor there is very loud whenever someone walks on it. Watch out for the price of a pint of Peroni at £5.35 a pint it is seriously overpriced.
The spa area is, er, different. When you walk to the spa reception you will be given a robe and towel then you have to go down a corridor to the changing room. To get to the pool you have to go back past reception and into another area before getting to the pool. Here you can leave your robe and towel before going through to the pool. The pool is pleasant enough being nice and warm along with being very clean.
Going back to the male second stage changing area are the sauna and steam rooms these were both very clean and well lit and at a good temperature. Because this is a male only area (I guess the ladies have their own version) the sauna and steam rooms are nude (or at everyone was when I was there). When finished have shower with the good quality toiletries and take the long walk back to the changing room. Tip, take some flip flops to wear.
Breakfast was excellent and service started at 0700. High quality ingredients and plenty of fresh fruit along with warm pastries. This was the best part of the stay as far as I was concerned..
Checkout. My sullen receptionist was back for checkout. No smiles, conversation or eye contact or even asking me how my stay had been.
Overall if you are used to Marriott standard this is a little step below that but it is above a Holiday Inn / Hilton standard.
I wouldn't choose to spend my own money here but on business it's ok.
