2025 Reviews: De l'Etang Reviews from Real Guests.

I had a fantastic stay here. A warm and friendly check-in welcomed me and a perfect cosy single room with the most fantastic sea views . The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable. Good selection of teas and coffees in the room and desk to work at. The breakfast was delicious with a good range. I shall be back - thanks so much !

The hotel is in a great location being on the sea front opposite the lido. St Helier is a short walk through a tunnel or there is another longer way along the sea front. The room was fine but simple snd the shower had a curtain which I don’t particularly like. The breakfast was a choice of cereal followed by a cooked breakfast. We ate in the Greek restaurant and enjoyed our meal. On a sunny day the tables at the front of the hotel are a busy little spot. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The plus points of the hotel: The hotel was clean and the bed was comfortable. We had a nice view from the window. The breakfast was substantial. The negative points: The lack of parking was a real issue, the nearest parking on our arrival was in Green Street car park which is a 10 minute walk away, not great when its pouring with rain. The nearer car park was completely full. We saw very little of the staff other than the ladies who served breakfast, and when we did see them they were unhelpful (not the breakfast ladies). I dropped my wife near the door with our case and went to the car park, the person on reception (who was having a cigarette break outside) offered no help with the case even though he could see my wife was struggling. He just gave her the key and the room number and left her to get on with it. The room was disappointing, the tiny bathroom contained the toilet and shower, with the sink in the bedroom which was very inconvenient. The room was also very noisy from early in the morning, on our first morning the dustmen arrived at 5.40am and made a great deal of noise emptying the bins, on the subsequent morning the traffic noise started at around 6.30am. The breakfast was substantial but much of it had been cooked and kept hot (the bacon particularly was dried up). As I think other reviewers have mentioned, orange juice is pre-poured into a small glass and left out on the table for when guests arrive. It would have been nice to be able to be able to refill the glass. Toast was provided at the same time the tea/coffee arrived, which meant it was cold by the time the breakfast arrived. We actually checked out a day early as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary during our stay and decided we would enjoy it more elsewhere. We packed up around lunchtime and then looked around for a member of staff to check out with, we called out, stood around for about 10 minutes before finally writing a note to say we had checked out leaving this on the bar with our key. Disturbingly we noticed that behind the bar was a basket with all the room keys, not exactly great security.

Had a fabulous stay, hosts are very welcoming, breakfast was lovely, would highly recommend. My little room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, towels changed daily, bin emptied, coffee and milk topped up daily. Very clean, would stay again.🥰

Myself and my sister staying here for a few nights. I have to say it's a great place to put the head down. The owner John made are stay! Such a friendly man, nothing was to much hassle and always had time for a chat. The breakfast was fab but the restaurants chicken kebabs where the nicest kebab I've ever had. Beautiful location with everything close bye. The only thing I didn't like was the sink in the room. I found it very unhygienic. Other than that I would come back to stay or recommend to friends and family
