Le Friquet Hotel

Our room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The bed felt very luxurious. There was lots of storage, the WiFi worked well and the tea/coffee tray was well stocked. The downsides were the air con was very noisy and I think there was also a lot of noise outside our window (smokers area?) and other guests stomping up and down the stairs. Luckily we has ear plugs so not too much of an issue. The TV bracket was a bit loose so TV was at a bit of a wonky angle. Great that it was a smart TV though as we were able to use Netflix. Check in/out went smoothly and staff were very friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant. We had the Tennerfest menu which was fantastic, as was the service and the restaurant was busy and full of atmosphere. The only off putting thing was the tank of lobsters. They looked really crammed in and I think perhaps the days of seeing your dinner in a tank before you eat it are long gone, and the lobster tank might be better off in the kitchen. Those lobsters don't really look like they are living their best lives before they end up on someone's plate. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a really good selection. We booked the £90 pp Tennerfest deal which was well worth the money

Unlucky for me I messed up my booking dates and only found out when I arrived. Two pieces of luck followed, I was greeted by the delightful receptionist, Jennifer from memory, who booked me in to the last room available and arranged for me and two guest of mine to join me for dinner. The restaurant was fully booked, but they managed to squeeze us in. I was allocated room 12, which is on the 1st floor overlooking the front of the hotel. A comfortable, clean twin room, with everything you would expect in a hotel room, with very good quality towels and lots of hot water. I had an issue with my phone charger, popped down to reception and Jennifer, found me a charger I could borrow, she saved my day again, that was the 3rd time in 1/2hr. My guests arrived a short time later and we enjoyed a great meal, all 3 having the scallops, 2 of us sharing a wonderfully presented and incredibly tasty Chateaubriand, best I’ve ever had. I was encouraged by the waitress to sample the Mochi Dessert and am now addicted to them. After a good night sleep and enjoyed the well presented breakfast, there was Jennifer at reception to thank me for choosing Le Friquet and wishing me a good day. I visit Guernsey 5 or 6 times a year and if it’s my choice I always try to stay at Le Friquet, with the home from home feel, the warmth of the welcome, great food and attentive staff, why choose anywhere else!

The rooms was clean and had all the necessities. I would advise if you could have temporary room warm open shoes which one can use to move around the hotel other than putting one's dirty shoes around.I must also appreciate being accorded a double room after booking a single room.
