Best Western Hotel de Havelet

An excellent established hotel overlooking St. Peter Port harbour with a superb Staff. Great attention to details especially with the daily housekeeping. Perfect breakfast with everything you could wish for. Very informative complimentary minibus tour of the island runs twice a week with charming local driver. Would have liked the twice daily town shuttle to run more often as the uphill walk to the hotel is steep. less

Congratulations to the Havelet Hotel for maintaining such consistently high standards at this difficult time for the local hospitality industry. Comfortable room, lovely breakfast, staff so friendly and helpful. less

My wife and I had booked a superior double room for 6 nights bed & breakfast at the Hotel de Havelet in Guernsey. We had taken our small car on the Condor Ferry (Commodore Clipper) from Portsmouth, arriving at 16.00 at the quay in St Peter Port. It was only a 5 minute drive to the Hotel, which was easily found. The extensive parking facility at the hotel made things simple and very convenient. The welcome at the Hotel, from Kati and Lydia on reception was first class, with full details provided to us of all the facilities. We were shown to our room by Lydia. Lydia subsequently telephoned half-an-hour later to our room to ask if all was satisfactory. We were impressed with this service. As it is a relatively small hotel, taking our cases from the car park into the hotel was very simple and convenient. The superior room was spacious, as was the en-suite bathroom. Slip-on towelling shoes and robes were provided. These were ideal for using when accessing the indoor swim pool. The pool is open from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm daily. Towels are provided free-of-charge. The small pool is adequate for standard swimmers, and has both step and ladder entry points. The water temperatures were perfect, and there was no issue with over-chlorination. In addition to the pool there is a standard sauna and also a steam room facility. A pool-side shower is provided for both pre-swim showering and for sauna users for cold douche purposes. Up some steps from pool-side are ladies' and gentlemen's changing rooms, with hooks and benches for clothing and towel robes; also, there is an additional shower for hair shampooing and body washing, plus a toilet and wash hand basin. After swimming, there is also a spin-dryer by the pool desk for drying out wet swim trunks and costumes. Eating in the Hotel was a pleasure. Outstanding service at breakfast in the Wellington Boot restaurant, and for dinner in the evening at the Copenhagen restaurant. The facilities were immaculately clean and tidy, and the waiting staff were particularly smart in their dress and manners, friendliness and helpfulness. The menus were varied and the food was of a high standard. The experience was most enjoyable. Elsewhere in the hotel, the lounge facilities were very welcoming and guests could avail themselves of a computer and printer facility, if required. The public rooms in the property were of a comfortable classic style. The terrace area at the front of the property had fashionable tables/chairs/sun-shades and colourful flower pots decked the surrounding walls, providing a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Views from this terrace, and from the Copenhagen & Wellington Boot restaurants, of the sea bays, Castle Cornet and the neighbouring island of Herm were most attractive. Residents could use the complementary hotel bus facility to access different local places in and around St Peter Port. All-in-all we enjoyed a very satisfactory holiday, mostly as a result of this charming hotel. less

I had a short break with a good friend and stayed in this well-positioned hotel just outside St Peter Port. Whilst the road route was very windy and narrow, it was well worth the driving effort, the hotel was very comfortable and the food delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. less

Excellent hotel, we stayed for 7 nights. Stand out experiences were the quality of the housekeeping and extras in the room which included fruit, soft drinks, mints all topped up daily. The pool was not busy, is a decent size for exercise and also includes a jacuzzi and Sauna. The breakfast and view from the Wellington restaurant was excellent Friendly and helpful staff plus a complimentary Island tour made it great. less
