Hampshire Reviews

Good town location if you don't want to use the car to eat out all the time. Excellent breakfasts and service. Nice and clean,staff always cleaning toilets and pool area. Friendly staff but could do with some evening entertainment occasionally,

Hampshire Hotel.

Very pleasant and relaxing 3 nights stay at the Hampshire Hotel 28th April 2008. Stayed in a Premier double room (booked through Superbreak as Deluxe room) on the ground floor behind reception. It was very nice and very clean, but a bit on the small side. OK for 3 nights. Good size bathroom, no bath but a good shower. Probably not worth paying extra for a Premier room. Could hear people in other rooms at times but slept well. Reception, bar and dinning area all very smart. Breakfast was excellent. Town centre about 15 minutes walk away.

St Helier.

Found St Helier being the island capital was a bit big and nowhere near as attractive as the smaller resorts. Lots of Bistros and Italian restaurants but only a few pubs serving bar meals (mainly lunch time not evening). Very quite on a night, few people in restaurants but bars empty. We stayed midweek and just out of season!

Car hire pre-booked with Europcar for collection from airport. Service very efficient, but you will be provided with, and charged for half a tank of petrol. Only used quarter of a tank during our stay. We felt car was essential for a short stay to make the most of your time on the island. Small car (Ka) is more than adequate as the island is only 9 miles by 5 miles with maximum speed limit of 40mph. St Helier one-way system can be a bit of a nightmare.

Weather.

During our stay the weather was poor, rain, windy and a little sun.

Would recommend to others the Hampshire Hotel and Jersey for a short break.
