BEST WESTERN MOORES CENTRAL

A great experience This is a fab hotel in so many ways. The location could not be better with easy access to all the main sights and shopping All the shared areas are immaculate. The staff are all so very good and do everything to please. Breakfast is excellent with a mix of buffet and cooked to order menu. A special mention to Teay at Breakfast who was a joy to talk to. 10 out of 10 for the hotel's inclusive attitude supported by all staff . Rooms were well cleaned . I imagine there will be an upgrade to rooms going forward but they were perfectly adequate and always piping hot water. There is no pool but there is a gym and jacuzzi . We found out when we arrived that there is a round the island tour on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons by minibus but booking is essential. It is free and provided to 4 hotel's in the Sarnia group. It was pouring down for our trip but it still went ahead and we learned alot about the island. It would be worth contacting the hotel before arriving to reserve a place. We took a taxi from the airport which cost £18. However there is abus stop just 2 minutes walk from the hotel and we took the 71 bus back to the airport for just £1.50 each. If you get a bus on arrival into St Peter Port it is less than 10 minutes flat walk to Moores Hotel.

A good hotel choice in a very central location. We had a pleasant three-night stay at the Best Western Moore’s Central hotel in June. The initial check-in was efficient, if rather formal. After that and throughout our stay we found all the staff we met were helpful and friendly, and the overall atmosphere at the hotel is good. It was particularly pleasing to see a global staff, including personnel from UK, Poland, Kenya, Thailand, and no doubt other places - and it certainly helped us when the receptionist, as well as Stephen Purtill, the General Manager, discovered that we all speak Thai! Our rooms (202 & 212) were generally clean and comfortable, and (for us) pleasantly traditional, with information folders in large print, other reading materials, old-fashioned telephones with easy room-to-room connection, decent lighting, and a bath as well as shower, for example. However, the television in 212 is in a very odd position on the wall to the side of the bed, making it impossible to watch it from the bed. Also, the bathrooms do need some upgrading in terms of fittings like extractor fans and efficient toilet flushes (202 was very slow to refill). Most important, the bedrooms were rather warm and stuffy, even with the windows open, and even though it was only mid-June. Fans are provided, but why no air-conditioning in a hotel of this standard? I realise that environmental considerations are important, but as far as room temperature is concerned, surely the comfort of the guests must take priority? Our beds were certainly very comfortable, and we were not disturbed by noise either from inside or outside the hotel. The tea/coffee facilities in the room were excellent; plastic milk sachets are not provided, but free glass bottles of milk (as many as you want) are readily available from reception - reminded me of free school milk in small bottles many years ago! A very critical earlier review of the hotel on this website stating that milk is not available is simply nonsense. The location of the hotel is very central to St Peter Port, perfect for us, but perhaps less so for disabled visitors or those with hire cars, as there is no hotel parking available. There are public car parks fairly near, however. We were pleased with the quality and variety of the breakfasts, part buffet and part ordered from the kitchen. We also had an excellent dinner in the main Conservatory restaurant one evening, and this is obviously a top choice eating place for non-residents, too. There is a pleasant outside terrace eating area next to the restaurant, overlooked by an interesting large mural featuring well-known people from Guernsey (including a few we didn’t recognise!). Despite a few criticisms here, we would definitely be happy to stay at this hotel again, should we revisit the island – except, perhaps in the middle of summer.

Excellent hotel and location We stayed in an executive room and this year had a sea view as well. The hotel has very good dining facilities and we found good service all round. The hotel is very well located and after a couple of steps you are in the main street. Very little noise in spite of this. Rooms have air conditioning which we used several times. Breakfast has an excellent range of hot and cold options and hot meals came on very hot plates! Various other dining facilities are available including the Hideaway which is outside on an upper floor. A very good venue in warmer weather. Car parking is not so good but we did not have a car and the bus services are very good and low cost. We have already booked again for next year.

A really lovely stay. We recently stayed here for a week and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were amazing as was the food. Nothing was too much trouble especially in the dining room. The staff were very attentive and cheerful. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Many thanks to all.

A brilliant week away. Very enjoyable time in Guernsey and the hotel was very clean and tidy. The staff were very helpful and polite.
