Jack was excellent from start to finish during my job search. Before looking for any roles he phoned me up to find out a little bit more about me and ask what I was ideally looking for from my next role. He even helped tweak parts of my CV. Jack was swift with his responses and would always phone after interviews which was a nice personal touch. I will refer Jack to any friends looking for new employment.

In June 2012, Virgin_Express said about St Pierre Park Hotel
OK, so our suite was lovely, with good facilities, a connecting extra room so we could keep the kids out of earshot and a fabulous terrace garden with lovely views of the gardens/lake/golf course, loads of furniture and a hot tub to die for.
The staff were very attentive and friendly and there seemed plenty of them.
The grounds are also lovely and the common areas are fine, if not a patch on the suite. It all sort of goes down hill after that thought I'm afraid.
We had a shocking lunch when we first arrived - my seafood salad seemed to have all come straight from the 'deli' counter at Tesco with very little fresh fish in sight, and Mrs D's Caesar salad had the soggiest croutons and half cooked bacon imaginable. The kiddies' jacket potatoes had most definitely seen better days. Anyway, we voted with our feet and didn't dare eat at the hotel again...
What made this trip memorable though (for all the wrong reasons) was the incredible racket we had to put up with on our first night from the wedding party downstairs. The whole place was literally vibrating to the rhythm of the bass line. Amazing. I had a right royal rant and the very gracious receptionist Sinead immediately offered us another room. However as the kids were asleep next door one of us to stay in the suite while I, the lucky one, got to move to a quieter room. The whole thing put a major dampener on our stay though as we were pretty shattered after a hard week's work, and really just wanted to go to bed when we go to the hotel. As a result we were both tired the next day and had to deal with our lively kids without enough sleep. Hardly what you pay for a suite for!
The manager did refund the cost of the first night at my request; on the suite, not on the extra room, which might have been reasonable in the circumstances, but total war was avoided.
So, if you are planning on staying here make sure you ask if there is a wedding on and if your room is above the party venue, because if it is I very much doubt if you will sleep!

We recently spent a few days at this hotel. The rooms were of a high corporate standard without being earth shattering, but were well appointed and had everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent with a massive buffet selection which all seemed fresh and very tasty. Didn't suffer from slow replenishment as some other hotels we have stayed at. Staff were plentiful, very friendly and helpful. The leisure complex was well equipped and clean. The grounds are wonderful with a large lake in the garden (although the fountain played havoc with my bladder while in the gym).
We didn't use the hotels restaurant so can't comment but there is a huge choice of places to eat in town. Hire car was worth having as its a long walk to the harbour area (about 30 mins). We had a bar snack on arrival and that was very good.

Location is little bit outside of St Peter port, about 20 minute walk. Nice pool and gym. We mostly ate in the bar, and didn't try the restaurant. Big portion sizes in the bar. Good breakfast, lots to choose from. I had a room with a coffee machine and iPod dock, although I don't think this is a standard in all rooms.

From check in (with Craig, who despite being a 'trainee' was enormously friendly and helpful) through to check out, this was a pleasant stay with warm, welcoming staff and great facilities.
I was staying as I was working just around the corner so on this trip didn't leave the hotel to explore but found it had plenty to entertain me.
Had lunch, dinner, and breakfast in the pleasant surroundings of the bar and breakfast room. Breakfast deserves a special mention as the range, quality and freshness of the selection was impressive.
As for the room, spacious, lovely balcony, nespresso coffee machine, iPod dock, great ensuite. My only reservation (and the only reason this didn't get 5 stars) was the rather lumpy bed which was pretty uncomfortable. I can sleep on anything however and I was tired so this didn't cause me a problem.
All in all a very good stay.

Booked a short break to Guernsey that included car hire with hotel and breakfast package. The directions we were given were not very clear but we eventually found the hotel. Check in was very quick and the staff on reception very friendly. We had a room on the top floor overlooking the gardens. The room was well equipped and there was tea and coffee along with biscuits. There is a Waitrose across from the hotel which was very handy and plenty of car parking at the hotel. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and again friendly staff.

I stayed away from this hotel for some years because its service was poor, its facilities were horribly outdated and the rooms hadn't seen any attention since the hotel's opening in the 1980s. Now many of those issues have been addressed, and credit where it's due - the welcome from the front desk was sincere, as was the quality of service (particularly from Craig on the front desk). The room we stayed in had clearly had a lot of work done, from the furnishings through to an improved mattress, and then there was the utterly overhauled (for the better) bathroom. But problems remain, which the management seems unbothered by, and they really *should* be bothered.
It's a confusing place - we arrived to find the downstairs restaurant closed and no indications that the ground floor bar served food (my father, who lives in Guernsey knew). It was of very high quality but was almost empty throughout. It was also mystifying why the room corridors remained so drab with horrible lighting, why the bathroom water pressure was ridiculously low, making showering a very odd experience, and most notably why the wifi, which business customers in particular would surely expect to be of high quality, was awful. Oh it was strong on the ground floor, but just one floor up there was barely any reception on any device or at any time I tried. It was good that it was free, but the poor reception was a major disappointment.
Where I would complain though was the unapologetic way in which the hotel conducted two parties during our stay, both of which were loud, and held in ground floor areas until 1am. Each night we were issued with letters under our door which said 'music will be played at these events and it is possible that noise may carry to the bedrooms within certain areas of the hotel'. Given the hotel has no sound proofing at all, that was an understatement. On the second night we made repeated complaints about the noise, but to next to no avail - the hotel clearly sees itself as a centre for conferences and parties, and no other guests have any say in that business plan. I'm shocked that a 4 star hotel would basically tell guests it *knows* are going to be affected that they can like it or lump it.
I don't believe these events are held constantly, and I don't think most people in the hotel would have been equally disturbed, but to hold loud parties until a ridiculous hour, where guests are known to be regularly disturbed is a sign that the hotel hasn't fully overcome its service problems. When we checked out I made a complaint to the front desk, who indicated guest complaints about noise are frequent. Whilst the St Pierre Park is not without its strengths - the room cleaning staff did an excellent job, the pool facilities were great, the bar was nice, as were the grounds, there remains a complacent attitude in its management which would prevent me from recommending it as a place to stay, and after this experience I would not want to return.
