The hotel was easy to get to by bus but also walking distance from the centre of town. The area was quiet, the staff was helpful and polite and the room was clean. Altogether a pleasant stay, I would go back to hotel Talana on my next visit to Jersey.

This hotel was an outdated hotel that needs a complete refurbe,look liked a grandma's 1970's bedroom plus was given the wrong room and not offered the one we were supposed to have ,so are all the roomslike this ?? ,no modern showers in the bathroom, just a hose to hold ,no feeling of stepping into a comfortable room to relax after a long day out , breakfast was standard so no complaints with the food and it was clean But this is really a working man's guest house because I would not call it a hotel for this day and age at all

Budget hotel with clean, comfortable rooms and hot shower. Staff were friendly, but had little or no local knowledge, which was disappointing after my data roaming had cost £10 in the first hour of arriving on the island, and the wifi was difficult to find, even in the areas where it was supposed to be available. There was a lot of noise during the night from the workers who seemed to be accommodated in the building (walking, and loud voices). Recommendations: - take earplugs. - research places to eat and drink nearby before you get there. - buy a pay as you go data SIM card for you phone when you get there - an Airtel Vodaphone one cost £5 for 5Gb. - try The White Horse for delicious food and drink at à competitive price. - there’s great food and service at Moitas on the seafront - it’s well worth the money - great freshly prepared food at Thai Smile - spend a day at the zoo - it’s fantastic and so tranquil - you can feel so close to the animals, and the cafe serves lovely food. - use the buses… they’re incredibly cheap! £2.25 per ride, or buy a pass for several days. The number 2 bus passes the Hotel Talana.

The Hotel was clean on the inside, but needed updating in the rooms and especially the walls & window sills outside needed painting. Some of the tiles in the dining room were missing and water stained. The shower was disappointing, a dribble and fluctuations of cold & hot water. Breakfast was okay at the weekend with croissants and pain de chocolat but these were missing during the week. Its been a while since we were there and would not go back to here again. The whole place needs some money spent on it to bring it up to date.

Arrived fairly late and was greeted by the chap on reception with a warm smile. Room was a good size with a spacious bathroom, both extremely clean. Huge comfortable bed with good quality linen. Very quiet but hotel wasn't very busy so cannot vouch for noise at busier times. Breakfast was excellent, well cooked,well presented and good quality produce, nice bar area with a good selection of drinks, nice lounge area which leads to the pool, which again looked very clean. The decor in the hotel is very retro and took me back to family holidays as a child and i loved it. There is a car park but i would imagine it gets a bit tricky during busier times but on our visit there were no issues. All in all, a very pleasurable place to stay and would definitely stay again.

Jersey's little diamond
We booked this hotel after reading the reviews, which were extremely positive. It lived up to our expectations. It was very clean & the room was made up every day. There was also tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. There was always a good selection of cereals, as much bread/toast as you could eat, followed by hot cooked options including full English. We had a slight hiccup in our room when we first checked in but this was very swiftly resolved and we were immediately given another room without hesitation. Nothing was too much trouble. Dee and her husband go out of their way to ensure their guests are catered for and feel happy and settled for the duration of their stay. Dee also very kindly let us leave our car in the car park on the day we left as our ferry wasn’t until after 9pm, enabling us to to use the bus as we did not want to drive around with all our luggage. Something we were very grateful for. Although we did not use the pool we spoke to some who did and they said it was lovely to cool off after a day out. We used to walk to the centre of St Helier through a beautiful park that took about half an hour, but it was on the number 2 bus route if you preferred not to walk with another bus route a 10 minute walk away. There is a large beach about 10/15 minute walk away that was never busy and which surprised us so near the town. In fact Jersey is full of beautiful beaches. We recommend this hotel and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nice hotel, service very could be friendlier
The room was light and airy and overlooked the fields so no road noise. Whilst as a 2 star we did not expect a lot, the service we found lacking.reception was not regularly manned and guests were ignored when waiting for reception or to check out. We enjoyed the stay overall but found the owners a little rigid and not very people friendly at times.The hotel is a walk of 20 mins or so to St Helier so ideally located. The bed was very comfy and breakfast was good with cereals and hot options.cleaning was really good, towels changed every day.

I think this hotel is overpriced for its (not very professional) service. The hotel building is quite old and (rather slow) WiFi is available only at the lobby/lounge area. Receptionist is not always at the reception. Its location is not too bad but is quite far from the town centre if you are on foot.

Very friendly and well-run hotel, pleasant rooms, good pool. On the downside it has weak Wifi in guest rooms, guest TVs are unusually small, and breakfast doesn't start until 8.30! Location is good if you have a car, or once you have worked out the operation of the No 2 bus, which - like the hotel - works well but has its eccentricities.

Disappointing Stay, ruined by Breakfast
Breakfast Poor, small cereal box, not able to mix your cooked breakfast. Same breakfast every morning, bacon not cooked properly, sausage very poor quality. No choice but have scrambled egg for complete stay. Would have liked mudrooms or well cooked bacon to flavour eggs, informe,not allowed for convenience of the chef. Seems breakfast are designed for the proprietor rather than the customer.

Basic, but good value , excellent breakfast.
Room was fine, if a little basic, but overlooked the main road, and as there was no air conditioning , I had to leave the windows open at night due to the high temperatures , which was a bit noisy. The room was cleaned and new towels provided every day, which was good. Breakfast was restricted to 1hour, between 8.30 and 9.30 and there was a good choice of cereals, orange juice and bread for toast. Tea or coffee were brought to the table , and although the cooked breakfast menu options were limited, the cooked English breakfast was excellent, which suited me and the table service was very efficient and friendly. Parking is available which is a plus. The beach was only a short , 10 - 12 minutes, walk from the hotel. Only limited Wi-Fi, available only in the reception area, no wi-fi in the rooms The hotel also has a bar and a swimming pool, neither of which I used, but looked fine. Overall, I enjoyed my short stay at the Talana and consider it good value for a pretty basic , no-frills hotel.

The hotel was comfortable with a few shortcomings, no lift , also in the bathroom no hand rails for shower, as we can only have showers due to Arthritis it could have caused a fall, I had to go out and buy a non slip rubber mat. As a retired nurse health and safety issues should be addressed

Ups and downs
Our room led off to a beautiful smallish outdoor pool and lovely patio area. The pool was cold to enter but lovely while in. The hotel had a very comfortable large seating area with excellent WiFi. The quality of food at breakfast was excellent and very well cooked. Breakfast only served between 8.30 and 9.30 was a bit restrictive. We usually like breakfast at 8. A full fry could not be substituted. You could not request just bacon and mushroom, or scrambled egg, bacon and sausage. Had to be all or noting. Scrambled eggs or beans was an option from a full English but you made your own toast. Yoghurt and some fresh fruit would have been nice. Dee was waitressing 2 of the days on her own and she got the food out very hot and efficiently. We were leaving earlier for our flight on the last morning and asked the morning before if we could have an earlier breakfast but we're firmly told "breakfast is at 8.30". Talana is a 20 or 25 minute walk from St Helier which is very convenient and a bus also drives past the door.

It is a good friendly hotel . The staff are very nice and friendly, it is easy to get to from the airport with a very cheap bus service. The number 15 bus to bus station and then the number 2 bus has bus stop outside of the hotel. The hotel service for breakfast is very good and food is good.

Week in Jersey
When we arrived we thought the hotel looked a little tired and as there is no lift, it could be difficult for older guests. The hotel was spotless everywhere. The service was fabulous and nothing was too much trouble - we were even offered a packed lunch for our journey home. Very ‘Covid’ aware, more than another hotel we recently stayed at.
