Breakfast and the on-site bistro/bar are well regarded, and many appreciate the bus stop directly outside and ample parking. Some reviewers found the area quiet or a bit remote, and transport slower than driving or taxis needing advance booking. Overall, it is a comfortable base with some dated touches.

Great location with stunning views over the bay and onto the sunset. The hotel was clean and tidy with an interesting, driftwood, theme throughout. All the staff were very friendly, polite and very helpful. The food was excellent. Overall a very pleasant stay which we would not hesitate to repeat. Perhaps the only downside was transport. There is a very good bus service but to get anywhere you have to take the bus round the Island. Probably better with a car. But its all still possible without

A family run hotel full of homely touches. The decor around every area has been carefully coordinated to a theme, giving an overall impression of somewhere calm and peaceful to stay. Our room had a sea view, adding to the relaxing effect. We also had an additional sitting room, giving us plenty of space. Some rooms have a balcony, which would be great for watching the changing tides on a summers day. On the ground floor there is is a pub, that serves a good range of food, and a bistro/restaurant with even more choice. The portions of the meals we had were good value for money. Breakfast was included in our room price and we chose full English each morning, which set us up each day for exploring the island. The staff were very friendly and the hotel was clean.

Great breakfast, enough to fill my husband up. Amazing views from the bedroom window and a very comfy bed. I was delighted that the live music, although very good, stopped at a sensible time - 9pm. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come.

Lovely hotel in a lovely location. Staff were all excellent and extremely helpful, rooms very comfortable and well furnished, we also had a beautiful sea view. Breakfast and Bistro/Bar food very nice. Only negative was the shower which had very poor pressure, and the bathroom itself didn't meet the quality of the rest of the hotel, but I would imagine they are due a makeover as every other area has had. But didn't change our overall positive view and would definitely stay again if visiting Guernsey.

The property was by the sea with a large car park. Our room was overlooking the car park and into the sea. Apart from a few hours on the Monday day morning with rain, it was fine weather. We had days of beautiful sunsets into the sea, something we had never experienced with our travel over the years. Our room was spacious albeit with a simple ensuite bathroom. It was great to have two armchairs by the windows where I sat every evening watching the sun goes down. Staff at the hotel were friendly. Breakfast was standard and on the days we eat-in, the evening meals were tasty and plentiful. The hotel itself was very much a local watering hole and eatery hence plenty of clienteles. It was certainly a place to relax and enjoy the sceneries. Overall, thoroughly recommended.

I had a fantastic stay at the Driftwood Hotel! The service was absolutely excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, providing the perfect place to relax. We especially enjoyed the bistro bar, which offered a cozy atmosphere and a great selection of drinks. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Special mention to Richard the assistant manager.

We booked this hotel/inn as a short break before heading elsewhere on Guernsey. The room initially seemed great - a lovely balcony overlooking the sea, nice decor and toasty. However, despite turning the radiator down to zero, it still pumped out heat - this was stifling through the night - not good. There's only one plug socket by the 'desk' - this meant you had to choose between watching the TV, boiling the kettle or using the coffee machine. No hand soap for the sink in the bathroom nor hand towels. Apparently this was an oversight by the cleaning staff. We were disappointed to learn that the kitchen was shut on a Monday - after breakfast so there was no satisfactory option for us to eat later. This was posted on their website, but not on Hotels.com, which we'd used to make our booking. The owner was most amenable and allowed us/and refunded us our second night, so we went somewhere else. The breakfast was great, but when we ate in the restaurant, we ordered a pizza - according to the big sign outside, handmade pizza to order - the pizza we were served was overcooked and looked like it was from Iceland - suitably unimpressed... I appreciate it's the start of the summer season but that's not really an excuse for poor attention to detail and lack of preparation...

The hotel was perfectly acceptable, although the bathrooms could do with a little updating. The hotel is a little remote for access to major sights, but as the island is small and the bus service is so reliable and cheap, this was easily remedied.

Although very early arrival we were warmly welcomed with coffee and a builder's tea!! Room was ready too. The whole duration of our stay was excellent. All staff, however busy were always willing to help, starting from Jamie - the owner, who set an excellent example to his team. Richard too made sure all visitors were looked after. Thank you Jamie and Richard. The bar staff (Paul, Eunice) however busy always obliged too even if they did not have any involved with the rooms. Thank you. We will be back again. We highly recommend other visitors to Driftwood

Staff were so friendly (praise to Richard) and the food was delicious. There is a bus stop just outside the hotel which we used to take us to St Peter Port and the airport. Vazon and other beautiful bays within walking distance.

A one week stay. Breakfast was excellent and the menu choices for dinner were very good and exceptional value for money. Staff were very accommodating in the Bistro and reception and went out of their way to look after us. We received a warm welcome on arrival and were given a tour of the facilities. The owner very kindly allowed us to swap rooms for a sea view for part of our stay, as these were full when we originally booked. The location is good and it’s very easy to tour the island with a bus stop outside. There is a convenient Morrisons next door selling sandwiches etc for packed lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Driftwood Inn and would recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful stay at The Driftwood Inn. The staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. Definitely worth booking a sea view room, we sat and watched the waves crashing and listened to the sea - very relaxing. We will definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to anyone. It is in a great location. The hotel and room was clean. Although the TV channels in the room was limited there was a large TV in the bar showing live football when on. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much for them. Special mention to Richard the assistant manager.

Location
Seafront location offers wide ocean views and sunsets, with a bus stop directly outside for easy trips to St Peter Port and around the island. Some found the area quiet/remote and transport slower than driving or taxis needing advance booking.

Great location with stunning views over the bay and onto the sunset. The hotel was clean and tidy with an interesting, driftwood, theme throughout. All the staff were very friendly, polite and very helpful. The food was excellent. Overall a very pleasant stay which we would not hesitate to repeat. Perhaps the only downside was transport. There is a very good bus service but to get anywhere you have to take the bus round the Island. Probably better with a car. But its all still possible without

The hotel was perfectly acceptable, although the bathrooms could do with a little updating. The hotel is a little remote for access to major sights, but as the island is small and the bus service is so reliable and cheap, this was easily remedied. All the staff were friendly and very helpful and the food and overall service were exceptional. We would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at Driftwood, made even better by the friendly welcome and kindness shown to us by all the team of staff. We can highly recommend the food in both the bistro and bar. The facilities are good, and we enjoyed the sea views from our room. A car would be recommended for touring the island easily. However, buses stop right outside the hotel for easy access to Saint Peter Port on a circular route around the island, or via a shorter, more direct route.

Breakfast draws strong praise for quality and choice, and many rate the bistro/bar meals highly for taste and value. A few note minor drawbacks such as a disappointing pizza or prices occasionally high.

We booked this hotel/inn as a short break before heading elsewhere on Guernsey. The room initially seemed great - a lovely balcony overlooking the sea, nice decor and toasty. However, despite turning the radiator down to zero, it still pumped out heat - this was stifling through the night - not good. There's only one plug socket by the 'desk' - this meant you had to choose between watching the TV, boiling the kettle or using the coffee machine. No hand soap for the sink in the bathroom nor hand towels. Apparently this was an oversight by the cleaning staff. We were disappointed to learn that the kitchen was shut on a Monday - after breakfast so there was no satisfactory option for us to eat later. This was posted on their website, but not on Hotels.com, which we'd used to make our booking. The owner was most amenable and allowed us/and refunded us our second night, so we went somewhere else. The breakfast was great, but when we ate in the restaurant, we ordered a pizza - according to the big sign outside, handmade pizza to order - the pizza we were served was overcooked and looked like it was from Iceland - suitably unimpressed... I appreciate it's the start of the summer season but that's not really an excuse for poor attention to detail and lack of preparation...

The room was nicely presented and very clean. The wall to the next room was not sound proof and their television could be heard at times. The breakfast and evening dining both offered a nice choice of menu. I enjoyed my meals very much indeed. All the staff were friendly and attentive to guests needs. I would stay here again.

Lovely hotel in a lovely location. Staff were all excellent and extremely helpful, rooms very comfortable and well furnished, we also had a beautiful sea view. Breakfast and Bistro/Bar food very nice. Only negative was the shower which had very poor pressure, and the bathroom itself didn't meet the quality of the rest of the hotel, but I would imagine they are due a makeover as every other area has had. But didn't change our overall positive view and would definitely stay again if visiting Guernsey.

Such a lovely stay here. It’s in a remote location and it’s quite a simple hotel, but the friendliness, helpfulness and attention to detail from the staff is second to none, and the breakfasts were brilliant!!! The view is fantastic, straight over the sea, and there are buses that take you in all directions from right outside the hotel door, as well as lots of car parking. It's very good value for money, and we highly recommend it.
