Good but could be better
Sensationally comfortable bed and a very warm, efficient welcome, but we weren't told on arrival that there were large Christmas parties (with DJs) taking place on each night. Despite the unexpected 'upgrade' (which removed us a little further from the restaurant area) we could still hear the beat until midnight. The breakfast was nice (the waiting staff was lovely) but my porridge on our second morning came out nearly cold.

Lovely food. Powerful heat pump/ air con, plentiful hot water and bath filled quickly. I didn’t realise there isn’t a lift, but they were quick to carry my bags to second floor.

The location was excellent for going in any direction without being in a town , but a lot of that is because Guernsey is a small island , the staff employed do a very good job with April always having a smile on her face . The restaurant offered a lot of seafood dishes which did not disappoint , my only question would be about the Tiramisu which was edible but I couldn't taste any coffee,maybe best made daily ?

Wonderful Country Hotel
Friendly staff very helpful, lovely room, great breakfast, lunch and evening meals, this was our second stay and we would stay again, however, a couple of nights were spoilt by inconsiderate other guests banging doors in the late evenings and very early mornings and stomping around the floor in the rooms above.

Lovely hotel staff nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Breakfast service was great again staff were welcoming. The only reason I didn’t give it an excellent was the internet although free was intermittent which was annoying at times.

Great Hotel
Excellent hotel. Really welcoming and friendly staff. An excellent restaurant with a superb menu. We had a good sized room which was spotlessly clean and ready on our very early arrival at 9:30am. Lovely grounds to relax in outside. The staff are this Hotels best asset, thanks to them for a relaxing and enjoyable break.

Le Friquet is a great hotel. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. We loved the restaurant, especially the excellent seafood. The gardens were lovely for relaxing and the swimming pool was heated. The bedroom was spacious, clean and comfortable. There was a good supply of teas and coffee and bottled water. The bathroom was a little tired but clean. Although not near the beach, we could walk to a bus stop in less than 10 minutes which took us directly to the beach in one direction and to St Peter Port in the opposite direction. A lovely garden centre is only a few minutes walk away too. We were very happy with our choice!

Exceeded all expectations
I'm always nervous of 3* hotels. They are in the middle ground where then can be very basic and really quite poor, or the opposite. I'm pleased to say that Le Friquet exceeded all expectations. The hotel is an old hotel, you get that sense from the moment you walk in, but whilst the layout and fabric feel a little like yesteryear, the room and all public areas have been refurbished and are in excellent condition. It was quite nice to stay in an old layout room, no bathroom on the right as you walk in with cupboards on left. This was a room with a large big bed, bathroom with huge rainshower shower set within a modern bathroom. The bed was large very comfortable with 4 large pillows. Old solid wardrobe, desk and flat screen TV. Ok so the stairs creaked but that added to the charm. I didnt hear a squeak from anywhere in the hotel or neighbouring rooms. The bar and restaurant have been recently refurbished and are absolutely stunning, with a large fresh lobster tank centre stage and service, staff, and food to match. A real natural feel, with cork and wood walk done in a very stylish way... You would think you were in a leading restaurant or at least a 4* hotel. Best of all the staff live up to all the refurbishments. They couldn't be more helpful. We had a few requests due to the times we were working and nothing was too much trouble, including ordering food to be delivered to us due to the restaurant being closed when we returned. Will be returning!

Dear Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to leave such an insightful review. At Le Friquet Hotel we pride ourselves on offering kind and attentive service so I'm thrilled to read this is what you received. The hotel is an old and charming building and we are constantly looking at ways we can refurbish it but keeping the country-style charm and again I am pleased to read you liked the décor of the hotel & restaurant. We very much look forward to seeing you again soon. Kind Regards Jimmy Wright General Manager

A great hotel in central Guernsey
Really comfortable stay in well kept hotel with nice grounds, including a swimming pool. Excellent breakfast. When we booked an evening meal it was great. Staff helpful and friendly. Room excellent. Room service restricted during our stay for covid-safety reasons but this was not a problem to us. Turn out onto road from car park is blind and you need the mirrors opposite but drivers approaching are usually helpful too.

Great service in difficult times.
This hotel looked after me very well! As a critical worker visiting Guernsey during COVID-19 restrictions I was not allowed out of my room except to work, so I relied on room service which was excellent and socially distanced. The food was fantastic and also great value 😁😁👍

Given our circumstances of needing to Social distance the staff were brilliant. Shame Expedia could not answer after 3 phone calls of 25 minutes plus and 10 chat lines which said we will come back to you shortly. Hotel were fabulous to honour booking 3 days early and had superb food
