Colin is the best host ever, incredibly helpful and welcoming. He let me drop my luggage there in the morning before I went sightseeing. I slept well and the breakfast was fantastic. Thank you Colin.

El Tabora was excellent value for money. The owner , Colin takes very good care of all his guests. The decor is a little quaint, but very very clean, and 5 weeks post surgery, I felt very comfortable. The location is very convenient, and I enjoyed my stay.

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

Very pleasant experience, well worth the price paid.

Clear.

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

Absolutely nothing!

On Sunday I got a text from Condor stating Monday's boat was cancelled due to weather. At the time I was at the Premier Inn - and after enquiring and finding out they wanted another £100 for 1 night, I checked booking.com for availability elsewhere - and this popped up for £38 a night. I worked on the road in the UK and have stayed at A LOT of hotels and BnB's in my time - so was only really after a place to put my head down. Genuinely - probably the best £38 I've ever spent. Colin is an absolute delight and will happily ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The rooms are very clean, with TV's, a kettle, fridge and microwave. Proximity to a local Waitrose, pub and a great fish and shop is perfect AND breakfast was included! Two whole kippers, a jug of coffee, toast and marmalade! Honestly - there's a reason this place comes so highly reviewed. Will happily be stranded in Guernsey again if I get to stay here!

English style water tap is always a challenge! :)

Very hospitable hosts, brilliant service rendered. Comfy beds, tasty breakfast, convenient location next to bus station (short ride to the center of the capital), grocery store and bars!

I really couldn’t fault it.

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

It’s affordable, clean, tidy, respectable and the host is lovely.

Stayed in March 2024

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!

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 !!!

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.

There are no complaints. And I have been in the hospitality business 40 years.

The breakfast was excellent and cooked to perfection. Tea was hot and the right consistency. Excellent service, like home from home.

The owner runs the place and takes great trouble to keep his gueste happy.

The only thing I can think of is maybe update the TV

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.

Colin is a fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable host. He goes out of his way to make sure you feel welcome and have all the information you need to enjoy your time on Guernsey. Comfortable beds, good bathroom facilities and a lovely breakfast to start each day.
