Apollo Hotel, St. Helier

Advantages: Great staff, quick and efficient service, beautiful gardens, relaxing pool area
Disadvantages: Hotel owns a couple dogs (for people that are not dog-lovers)

... Summary The Westhill Hotel in St Helier, Jersey is a very nice three-star hotel. The hotel itself is a little dated in some parts (in no way that would detract from your holiday though) but the beauty and convenience of the outdoor area and the friendly and very helpful staff more than make up for it. Detail It's very hard to find someone dissatisfied with their stay at the Westhill. Many people say that you get what you pay for, but in the case of the Westhill, that is untrue. You get more than what you pay for. The hotel itself is located in the rural outskirts of St Helier (about half an hours walk away from the centre). I would recommend walking to and from the hotel but as the walk to St Helier is downhill, the walk back to the hotel is uphill. Although, that said, if you do not own a car or you have not...

Advantages: Incredibly good flavour, great value for money.
Disadvantages: It's a rare treat to find in pubs or bars and doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves.

...I've tried a fair few pear ciders in my time, but St Helier's is by far the best. Like Kopparberg it's quite a sweet cider and has a refreshing crispness to it. However, the real difference lies in the fruit flavour; it is a pure pear beverage and its intensity gives it that extra edge, making it by far the best of its kind. The only real problem is its distinct lack of advertising; there are no posters or television adverts proclaiming its greatness so it tends to be overlooked in favour of other, inferior brands. It's also quite tricky to come by in many pubs or bars but please do endeavour to find it in your local supermarket, it's well worth looking out for. An utter delight to drink.... Read review

Advantages: Polite and helpful staff, clean hotel.
Disadvantages: Bed a bot on the small side for my husband.

...After an incredible weekend away with my darling husband to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary, I have now decided to do my first and quite possibly my last hotel review! Our destination of choice for this excursion was to be a place new to us, so of course the hotel had to be in a prime location at a price we could afford?fortunately we seemed to fall on our feet so to speak on both of these points. Our destination, to be exact was York, and due to the sheer number of attractions available to us, we wanted a hotel reasonably central, or at least within walking distance of the few sights we wished to see. After some extensive research, mostly through the designated York tourist board site, we came across the perfect hotel. St Denys hotel, a small but very quaint hotel, housing 13 rooms only, but with it?s own parking... Read review
