Stayed for 7 nights 6-13th September 2014. Three people in our party in two rooms. All facilities excellent. Breakfast was amazing, unbelievable amount of choice. Nice clean rooms both with a balcony. Bathrobes and bottles of water available. We all used the swimming pool, sauna and Jacuzzi (best Jacuzzi we have been in) great facilities. The changing rooms set up is a bit strange as you have to walk through to reception from the changing rooms in your robe to get to the entrance to the pool.
All staff were very helpful, got some great tips for places to eat from the concierge. We ate once in the Victor Hugo Restaurant, the food was good but bottles of wine seemed expensive compared to restaurants in St Peters Port. We also ate in the bar on one evening, table cloths gave a nice touch, food was absolutely fine. Some of the drinks prices in the bar could be expensive but always served with olives, wasabi nuts and peanuts. The facilities of the hotel is great as it is set in it's own grounds including tennis courts, golf course and a lake. The hotel has a car park, but as the bus service in Guernsey is brilliant; buses 4 times an hour just down the road from the hotel. Definitely would return.

Stayed 15-19th September. Good room and nice setting. Sadly poor service. Ordered room service one evening - it took four visits to get the right food, drink and cutlery, by which time the food was cold. Good food at breakfast - just a shame that the waiters prowl around waiting to take plates etc away - often before they are even finished with.

Have just stayed again at this hotel and it was even better than I remembered. The staff were so amazing, I cannot praise them enough. They are so welcoming and helpful and really looked after us whilst we were there. We also tried the spa facilities this time and they were fantastic. We will definitely be returning again.

Booked for six nights at this hotel in June and had a great time. We had a room overlooking the car park and really wished we had one over looking the lake. The only disappointing thing that there was some air conditioning units just below the balcony that started early in the morning and went not until about 11 pm at night which were a bit annoying particularly as it was really warm and we wanted to use the balcony. The leisure facilities were really good and I used the swimming pool every day. Breakfast was first class too with plentiful selections. Would definitely stay here again,but in a different room.

Having held our company's 50th Anniversary party at the SPP on Saturday evening I have to say that it was a first class experience. The dedicated staff were attentive, courteous and extremely helpful and Julia in events, assisted by Illica surpassed themselves on the hospitality front. Having been upgraded to a deluxe suite complete with terrace and jacuzzi, it was the icing on the cake and they did everything they could to ensure our evening was a huge success and everyone who attended thought the room, the food, drinks and service was second to none. Would certainly recommend this establishment to others seeking a first class experience.

We had a wonderful week here. The hotel is situated in lovely grounds with an artificial lake, ducks and a heron. The food was very good and the staff were excellent. They were friendly and helpful. We had a room on the second floor (400s) with a balcony overlooking the garden. The balcony was very small though and the rooms below (300s) had one twice as big. So next time I would want one of those rooms and always facing the garden. The ground floor ones have a terrace and can be in the shade. It is very easy to get into St Peter Port as the bus stop is 2 minutes away and from the terminus you can get a bus to anywhere on the island. We were glad not to have a car as the roads are very narrow and busy! I would definitely return to this hotel.

We stayed here in September the location is excellent for exploring the staff were very welcoming breakfast fabulous and the grounds lovely. There was a wedding and a birthday party on the Saturday we stayed which the management popped a letter through our door to advise but we didn't hear any noise. In previous reviews people have complained about the noise made by the air conditioning unit which were outside our room but we were up and about when they set off so this didn't bother us much . Would recommend the spa too had a manicure which was lovely and staff were very accommodating when i had to change the booking time as our flight was cancelled and the replacement delayed overall a lovely stay we will return.

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.
