The place to be quand on visite Guernesey
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner somptueux avec des produits variés et frais et un personnel très attentif. L’emplacement extrêmement pratique de l’hôtel . Un plus indéniable : le cadre de la piscine , par ailleurs chauffée

Cons:

L’espace hammam/sauna/jacuzzi un peu en retrait, avec des horaires peu pratiques surtout quand on visite l’Ile la journée et pour la période où nous y étions le hammam en maintenance sur les 3 jours et l’accès Jaccuzzi impossible le lundi .

The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. They were the reason that our stay was so enjoyable.

Good
Pros:

Location and people

Cons:

The room cleaning had been poor

There were lots of clothes moths and we had to move rooms

We moved easily and with help but the moths are a problem and the cleaning really should deal with this
