Le Chene Hotel

Stayed at Le Chene for a week. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Very dated, not cleaned very well. Carpet wasn’t hoovered all week even though there were bits all over the carpet. Curtain very difficult to close and partly hanging off. The only good thing was the breakfast and the beds were comfy and clean.

Strictly classed as a bed & breakfast place because it does not provide an evening meal. Situated a 15 minute walk from Guernsey airport and a 25 minute bus ride from the sea front at St Peter Port. There is a high standard restaurant at the Deerhound about a 5 minute walk away. The Le Chene receptionist will book you a table there upon request. If you want something more basic (eg burger and chips) then the Happy Landing pub is a 10 minute walk away and serves meals all day. Positives. Situated close to the airport and on Guernsey's main east to west road. There is a bus stop opposite the hotel and buses to both the airport and St Peter Port run with a 10 minute service interval. The hotel has a heated outdoor pool, a sauna and a jacuzzi. Although a bit dilapidated they were fine. It has a bar which is open all day. The breakfast was excellent. Our room was very good - reasonably sized, well equipped, clean and well maintained. WiFi and TV were both fine. Plenty of local visitor attractions are within easy walking distance. Try the Little Chapel and the Occupation Museum. Negatives. A bit faded. But don't be put off by that. The place has a good ambience. Not cheap by UK standards. But good value by Guernsey standards. Would we come here again?. Love to.

I see a lot of harsh words in the reviews. And I do agree that the accomodation could use some maintenance/upgrading. But… Niek and Beatrice are the best of people. Very easy to approach. Always a smile. Ready to handle any request you may have. Need a bus card? Want advice on what to do on Guernsey? Need a table at The Deerhound? No problem. Their breakfast is the best I have had for a long time. Freshly made toast and avocado, omelette, croque madame. All excelent. Oh, and English breakfast too (the horror, for a Continental European).

The hotel was not of the standard that it portrayed in the advertisement. Very dated and extremely bad bathroom fittings. The toilet seat was wobbly and badly stained. The shower head over the bath had very low pressure. The bath was badly stained. The furniture was old and cluttered. The bed was comfortable and bedding clean. The breakfast was good. However in general it was not good value for money. Overpriced and I would not recommend it.

My friend and I, found ourselves stranded at Guernsey Airport, as we missed our ferry to Sark. Accommodation was scarce, as The Island Games were on. The hotel had a cancellation and Niek was so kind and helpful, even collecting us from the airport. He also booked us a meal at the nearby Deerhound. Breakfast was very good. We were sorry to have to rush away, to get the ferry in the morning. We didn't have the time for a dip in the hotel pool, which looked very inviting. An excellent experience.

Fabulous location with great public transport outside the hotel. Owners and staff were extremely professional, super friendly, helpful and courteous. Bed was really comfortable, nice bathroom, lovely natural light and breeze through window. Breakfast each morning was sensational, really good selection to choose from, yummy croissants and Full English breakfast huge, hot and delicious. Glad I hiked every day to burn it off. The 15% discounted dinner meal at The Deerhound pub was fabulous. Food was amazing and staff excellent. I had the most wonderful stay at Le Chene and will definitely return. Thank you for making holiday to Guernsey wonderful xxx
