Maison Gorey Hotel

I loved this hotel. The staff are really helpful and friendly. It was very clean and the beds are really comfortable. Breakfast was everything you need , cooked well and all was fresh. The hotel was close to Gorey so you can easily walk to restaurants and bars . Yet far enough away so as not to feel touristy. It does not have a lift but flights of stairs are fairly short with good rails. Book a ground floor room if stairs are not your thing. We loved it and would definitely return.

Excellent value for money!! Older style hotel but very comfy, clean and staff very friendly. The rooms were nice and tidy with plenty of room and a good shower Breakfast was the winner- fantastic breakfast every day with full cooked and cereals served by helpful smiling staff.

Firstly, with regard to previous reviews and their observations: - the hotel was extremely clean and tidy - sticky carpets? Try the Cider Bar in Newton Abbot...And the staff are very helpful. - Nowhere on the hotel website (or partner websites such as ***********) does it mention having a) a lift, b) a sea view but c) it does referene limited "first come, first served" parking and d) the closest bus top is not 10 minutes walk, but about three, or a 90 second dash. Do guests not do their homework before visiting? - The rooms DO get hot (accepting that 2022 has been very warm). - The buffet style breakfast is substantial but does not vary in any shape or form from day to day. That said, you can eat different elements (cold and hot) to vary it. One comment - the hot food from the heaters isn't actually very hot, but there is a microwave around the corner in the former dining room that I used to get it up to heat! - With the hotel no longer having a bar or dining (you can bring your own food in on a night to eat ad they provide a dining area with crockery etc) it does lack a !"social hub"hub and is somewhat soulless as a result; there was very little iinteraction between guests. I appreciate that the "cut down to B&B" model is probably the only way to make it profitable, however. not least as staff shortages are as severe on Jersey as anywhere else. I called the review "Almost The Last One Standing" because hotels in Jersey have been disappearing faster than some of the endangered species at Jersey Zoo. And still are. On my first visit to Gorey ('76) there were three substantial hotels (one of which I stayed in - the Kalamunda) directly in front of the Maison Gorey providing, I would guess, around 200 guest rooms between them. They are all long gone and replaced by housing and apartments (for the record, the others were the Trafalgar Bay and the Old Court House). And these aren't the only ones in Gorey that have disappeared - just the biggest. With more major hotels on Jersey set to close in the next 12 months, my advice is: is you like visiting Jersey, continue to support the hotels while they still exist! From a peak of around 30,000 hotel rooms, Jersey now has closer to 7,000. One final - and related - ponit of interest. When the original Bergerac TV series was filmed on the Island, it provided a substantial boost to tourist numbers for many years. Back then, Jersey had the hospitality infrastructure to cope with such a boost and benefit from it. There are advanced plans to reshoot a new series of Bergerac in the very near future. The question is: if this happens and the "reboot" results once more in a wave of new tourists visiting the island, where are they all going to stay?
