Loved the spa facilities, breakfast and cleanliness of this hotel. Can’t fault the staff who were always friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Rooms cleaned daily - bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the bottles of water provided daily. View from room 123 was none existent (windows open just slightly - to a view of a shed roof) but did not spoil our stay at this lovely hotel. Steep walk up to the hotel from the road - courtesy bus into town provided by hotel but we did not use this as enjoyed the walk. We had to check out early to get bus to airport - takeaway breakfast provided by hotel (free of charge) lovely gesture and food was top notch! Would definitely recommend staying at this grand hotel 👍

We stayed here for 5 nights. The hotel is quite impressive and very clean. The staff were all very friendly. The room was good however the tv channels and operation is very dated ( not a massive issue but was strange considering the rest of the hotel facilities) The restaurant was very good but quite pricey. Location was good for us about 20 minutes walk into town although there is a bus stop outside the hotel and a limited shuttle bus which runs from the hotel (last one leaves at 16.30). The hotel also offers free parking. There is a very pleasant indoor swimming pool, sauna and various other pools free to use for guests

“Nice but not exceptional”

A very nice hotel on the edge of St. Helier. Only a 15 minute walk to the main town. Staff are friendly, rooms very nice (massive bed - stayed in a Spa Room) and clean.

A very nice hotel on the edge of St. Helier. Only a 15 minute walk to the main town. Staff are friendly, rooms very nice (massive bed - stayed in a Spa Room) and clean. There’s a good selection of drinks in the bar but they are a bit pricey; along with evening meals (£25 for a chicken Caesar salad) so venture out for evening food. Breakfast was the norm but got a bit ‘samey’ after a few days. The on-site spa is very nice, had a lovely massage. The pools themselves are quite cold. Overall a nice place but not worthy of 5 stars.

“Not as good as it used to be”

We first stayed at this hotel over 30 years ago. It was much better then than now, sadly.

We first stayed at this hotel over 30 years ago. It was much better then than now, sadly. The food then was amazing, staff helpful and friendly, there was a cinema on site, an outdoor pool, and the general atmosphere was more in keeping with a holiday atmosphere than the current atmosphere. We arrived into our Spa room ( definitely the best the hotel has to offer), nice and sunny, large and contemporary, walk in shower and large modern bathroom. Amenities such as shower gel, shampoo, bottled water etc. no Nespresso machine as seems to be the norm in most hotels, just a kettle ( having worked in hotels I know better than to use the kettle!). We arrived quite hungry so ventured down to the restaurant. The service left much to be desired. Apart from one other table with 3 women on ( drinks only at this table) we were the only people in the restaurant. The waiter gave us one menu between the two of us. After a long wait he took our order. No friendliness was shown. Our food arrived, very lacklustre fayre, and expensive for what it was. Breakfasts were the same, unfriendly and no service whatsoever! All self service, and some items had to be paid for as extras. Some days we were told where to sit, others we could choose! Most people opted for the room where the bar is, as this wasn’t so busy, loud, or bright. Our room was always cleaned and fresh towels etc daily. But just a general unfriendly attitude from the staff. Coffee of any description was diabolical! We’ve decided that we probably won’t be going back to HdF. It was a very expensive week, and Jersey overall is now pricing itself out of the holiday market.
