In March 2013, Gary M said about St Pierre Park Hotel
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.

In March 2013, ken s said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Great Hotel, stayed for 3 nights from 1/03 to 05/03. My room was very nice with a view over the rear of the hotel. Used the swimming pool on a couple of occasions and was very imprested with the facilities.
Dined in the first night in the main restaurant and this is the only area we (six of stayed) found was a little lacking. The starters and desserts were fine but the Crab and Prawn Spaghetti my wife and I had was not so good as was the Chicken Spaghetti friend had. The girl who seemed to be in charge of the restaurant and took the orders could be a bit more friendly.
All other staff were great and we had no complaints and this very true of the Bar Staff. Also the bar food was fine and can be highly recommended. (Try the Swiss Cheese and Mushroom Burger – very nice)
Breakfast was very good with a good variety of choice.
Don’t be put of by a couple of negative observations, this hotel is very good and if I come back to the island, this is where I will stay

Loved this hotel from the first sight of it to the room very nice and quite good value for the cost of our 3 night stay, we paid for two nights and the third night was free! The hotel overall was spotless like the rooms and as for the beds, well they were very comfortable, the best I'd say I've slept in. The first night we stayed their were 7 of us that ate in the main restaurant. The food was good a bit pricey and quite small portions. The breakfast was very good, a buffet style and lots of it to choose from. I cannot say anything bad really about the hotel, except the staff, they need lessons on how to smile, very miserable. The barman in the main bar from Liverpool was the only one that I'd say had a laugh with us. Oh and the bar meals are very good too.

Myself, Mum and sister visited the spa on Saturday 2nd March, we visit about 3-4 times a year over the last 5 years. Receptionist were friendly as always. Changing room was fine but needs updating as the wood around the door in the toilet was rotting away. Swimming pool was great, a little cold but that was due to the door being open which we didnt notice until we got out. the jacuzzi was foamy but it always is, but still very relaxing. We always have a relaxing time, but this time during my massage there was a lot of constant noise from outside the room-opposite a storage room. the staff are always generally helpful which is why we come back (and the fact its pretty much the only place we can do so on the island) but it does need a bit of a touch up- the showers/sauna area is much better now. Maybe add slippers to top off the experience.

Stayed here with Spennymoor Town FC as we played Guernsey and it proved a real gem. Hotel is very clean and professional, Breakfasts great and so are all of the leisure facilities. Located in a quiet spot out of St Peter Port and it ticked all of the boxes we were looking for. Would definately return to this hotel for a holiday.

I stayed for 2 nights to attend recrutiment/interview days on the Island. Very high standard of cleanliness, well appointed room and excellent in room facilities. Could not have asked for anything more to improve the stay- the modern 'pod' style coffee maker and ipod doc were welcome luxuries. Stayed on B&B basis- te breakfast was delicious with loads of choice- all excellent standard. I had room service breakfast on morning (£2.75 suppliment) and it was just as good quality and standard.
Staff members were very welcoming, gave relevant information and arranged taxi cabs and luggage storage for me. Whilst it is a spa hotel (which I would not usually choose) he staff did not badger you to use those facilities and I was able to relax in privacy in the secure knowledge that people would be only too happy to assist me with any queries/ arrangements should I need that service.
Room servce evening meal was lovely and very quick to arrive. I visited just after the strong winds and heavy snow and the grounds were very muddy and had fallen trees so this limited how much I explored- but that is down to nature, not the hotel. If I return to Guernsey I would stay here again without a doubt.

I stayed here with the principal purpose of studying for my degree finals. They have a lovely relaxation room overlooking the lake, which was the perfect setting for revising. The hotel staff recognised me from my previous stay and looked after me very well.

In April 2013, TerriSChichester said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We stayed three nights and overall enjoyed the break. The hotel is clean and rooms were pleasant enough. Breakfast was excellent. What let it down was grumpy staff on reception and a flurry of silly letters that told us things we could nothing about. For example, we received several notes about a noisy party but we had no option but to put up with it as we had already checked in.The note just annoyed and rubbed salt in the wounds.Yes it was very noisy and stopped us sleeping. We also had a fire alarm at 7·30am closely followed by a cleaner coming in at 8.30. The hotel was cold and there was no control over bedroom temperature. We only used the pool once as it was cloudy and freezing with a long hike from changing rooms to poolside.The staff here were also grumpy landlady - bordering on rude.
