The hotel exudes old-world charm with its labyrinthine corridors leading to clean and well-equipped rooms, while service leans towards warmth and helpfulness with a touch of the need for improved hospitality training. The tranquil location offers a serene escape but is a bit of a distance from the bustling St Peter Port. Dining experiences are savored with efficiently served meals, although breakfast seating may be a bit of a challenge.
