    Walls were rather thin, had no problem hearing conversations of other guests.

    Very pleasant experience, well worth the price paid.

    I came from Brittany. El Tabora is a great place to stay and have a rest in Guernsey. Staff couldn't be better.

    Everything was fantastic! Colin was a wonderful host, and creates a really nice atmosphere. You are made to feel very welcome and given loads of excellent info about things to do in Guernsey. Location is good, my room was comfy and the breakfast was lovely. I will definitely stay here again some time!

    We knew it was a shared bathroom and would prefer ensuite. That said it was very clean and available.

    As other reviews, Colin was very attentive and a mine of information on local history and areas for day trips. The position of the Guest House is ideal with good takeaways, supermarket and places to eat within 5 minutes walk. All as described.

    Nothing Colin can do about other guests cleanliness but maybe a deposit to be taken on keeping the shared bathrooms clean! The areas controlled and maintained by Colin was perfect.

    Colin was fantastic. Was one of the nicest and most helpful host I have had when staying in a hotel or guest house. Provided help with the island and other things. What a guy!

    Nothing at all to dislike There is nothing that hasn’t been thought out before your arrival

    I enjoyed absolutely EVERYTHING Colin was the consummate host from the time I arrived until I departed he took care of everything His breakfasts are fabulous and my room was missing absolutely nothing right down to robes in the cupboard I WILL be returning and cannot recommend this property highly enough It’s total value for money and Colin goes the extra mile to ensure all his guests leave thoroughly satisfied

    Cozy traditional bed & breakfast in a quiet location on the west side of town. Excellent breakfast was provided and a superb host Colin gave me a lot of interesting info about the island and life in Guernsey. Definitely would highly recommend it.

    For the price paid … nothing !!!

    Colin cooked a nice English breakfast for me every morning with a large pot of tea ! He was mindful that I have an allergy to gluten and provided food that was gluten free .... He even offered to go to the local supermarket to get gluten free bread ! The room was comfortable with tea making facilities a microwave and fridge ..... The guesthouse was quiet with no traffic noise ... There was no en suite toilet and shower but at this price point I didn't expect one !!!

    Clean, comfortable no-frills guesthouse; perfect.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    A bit further out towards the edge of town than the other St Peter Port hotels, but easily walkable if you don't mind a half-hour walk - or otherwise you could take a bus. If you opt to walk, take the non-main road route as there's no pavement for some of the main road walk and it's a bit heavy on the traffic fumes. Not so on the other route (refer to Google maps).

    Fantastic little guesthouse. Cheap and cheerful with everything you could wish for for a comfortable stay. My room had its own sink for brushing my teeth, kettle, a fridge for groceries, extra stand-alone heaters (which, although staying in November, I didn't need as it was nice and warm already) and a TV and wardrobe. Soap, tea, coffee, towels etc all provided. I didn't opt for the free breakfast as I was leaving very early in the morning, but they were made it clear they were happy to provide it if I wanted it - even at 6:30am... Lots of options for breakfast, including kippers! Bed and pillows very comfy for me (I like a middling bed, not too hard or soft, and same with pillows.) I didn't try the shower in the communal bathroom as I only stayed one night. Everything felt clean. Obviously don't expect anything fancy, but it's a great (and honestly quite charming) no frills guesthouse. I felt a bit like I'd gone back in time to the 1950s (in a good way). I'd stay again no hesitation - and probably will.

    Very retro and I loved it ,everything was there what you needed, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was hot, booked my time for breakfast and it was there soon as I sat down, The host was very very friendly and welcoming, so much knowledge about Guernsey , where to go and all about when the guest house was built. He made me feel so welcome and nothing was to much trouble.
