Good

Most enjoyable….we’d be happy to...

Liked: Excellent breakfast choice. Prompt service. A little restricted evening menu, however we enjoyed the ones we did have. We had to choose our table carefully in order to avoid incoming cigarette smoke.All waiting staff were very efficient and very friendly.
Disliked: Nothing really.

Exceptional

The hotel really is in...

Liked: It was easy to find and nicely on the bus route for the island
Disliked: There was zero housekeeping whatsoever.The room itself was a bi of a fire hazard in that there was a extension cable (with 4 socket terminals) double sided with sticky tape to the wall, to provide sufficient sockets.The room was very dated in terms of provisions and paintwork /decor.The hallway and carpets outside the room were extremely dirty and dusty with a copious amount of what i presumed to be shake n vac powder.

Disliked: Very noisy disco friday saturday poor sleep

Loved every minute of our...

Liked: Location was superb, right on the beach and just a 5 min bus ride into St Helier city centre, so great value for money. We found the staff very friendly and helpful, and Roy was a star, we got his sense of humour
Disliked: Noisy bar across the road

Beautiful seaside hotel

Liked: The staff was always approachable and very friendly. We enjoyed the location directly at the shore, open-air-breakfast a la carte and the cosy athmosphere with caring staff and friendly owners.
Disliked: The fact that time flies--even at good hotels.

Good stay!

Liked: Liked the location right on the seafront. We had upgraded to the sea view and we loved listening to the waves. Bus stop a 2 min walk away just by the lido. Breakfast was decent too with a choice of main like cooked breakfast, eggs Benedict etc. Friendly staff.
Disliked: Could do with some updating. I did think mattress was quite thin. No air conditioning but they did provide a small fan. Bathroom taps didn’t seem to adjust for the hot water so it was quite scalding and couldn’t turn it down.

Good, recommend improvements

Liked: Generally nice hotel. Old school feel. Communal areas and bar/restaurant are modest but well maintained and handy, and we enjoyed the female guitarist Saturday night. Good location to beach front. Staff helpful when needed. Okay location in terms of restaurant/cafe nearby. About a 10-15 minute walk to the main town. There's a busy pub across the road. It's a budget hotel compared to some of the newer ones nearby.
Disliked: Stayed Friday night to Monday morning. Although early September and a rainy weekend, the room was way too hot at night. No aircon or fan provided. The bathroom needs updating and the shower's difficult to use. Took 10mins to work it out!! Instructions would be good. Unfortunately, I was not warned in advance when booking that a private party was being held on Saturday night on our floor that went on until around 1am. Had to keep window open due to the airless room, so it was hard to block road noise too.
