Having someone at hand and the possibility of a serve yourself continental breakfast would have been greatly appreciated but that no doubt would have increased the cost of staying at the guesthouse.

There was no one available after a certain time. I had informed the guesthouse of the time of my flight’s arrival but that made no difference. The keybox was problematic as it was too high for me. A kind lady occupant of room 1 was the only ‘permanent’ person who helped me and answered any questions. Room 11 third floor was clean with a tiny shower room. A great view over that part of St Helier and not far on foot from the centre. The bed was good and enough towels were available. By the time I left (4nights) my bin was overflowing as no one came to check the room and empty it during my stay. Had trouble making the tv work which didn’t make a huge difference as I had my laptop. Hotel prices on Jersey are high Alister guesthouse was one of the cheapest I found on the web. The weather made my first visit wonderful.

Room number 8 did not have a working shower, which couldn’t be fixed. My friends had to use my shower.

Property was in a good location, easy to find and gain access and the beds were comfortable.

They should clean the kettle so guests can make coffee or tea. The kettle in my room was very dirty. I had to go out and get a descaler to clean it. Now they have a clean kettle.

I really appreciated the quietness of the building. A very comfortable bed to rest in. Close to Center.

The room was clean and tidy. Bed comfortable. Facilities were acceptable. It was good value for the money spent.

Not really a dislike: would have been helpful to have a way to garage bicycles. But the streets are safe so it was not an issue.

Quiet guest house in St. Helier with no on site staff. But owner is a quick phone call/text away. It is 10 - 15 minutes walk from the sea front and all the restaurants and museums there. We only needed accommodation so this was perfect placement. We also decided to extend the stay by 2 days and the owner was very accommodating.

Shower wouldn't run hot, kettle and telly weren't working. There was no reception and I never seen any staff on property only on check in and out. It was just a last minute thing for me so I wasn't expecting anything spectacular

Comfortable and clean

Very tired accommodation. Photo of dining room on website misleading, no beakfast. A message re booking in procedure sent far too late, I was already en route and off-line. Didn't see another soul there. TV didn't work.

Did not see any staff, or owners. Had to ring the caretaker to find out how to get into the property, Had to ask for more supplies to make hot drinks (via a note left by my door) as there was no-one to ask. Room did not get serviced at all while I was there.

good location, comfy bed, plenty of hot water and towels/toilet rolls

no cooked breakfast

I was sceptical in booking as most of the other reviews were so terrible. But I can honestly say, in my case, they were unfounded. The room had a nice double bed, super clean bathroom, tea coffee and the wifi was exceptional, obviously the password needs to be changed to Tottenham rather than Liverpool lol. There was an easy to operate key box so self entry wasnt a problem. The only thing which some families would dislike is that there is no cooked breakfast but there are lots of small cafes nearby which do so its not really a huge issue. The room I stayed in was Number 3 and I will be staying again. Thank you

Noisy fellow guests.

Unfortunately there was some noisy guests in other rooms who kept me awake half the night. I was offered a reduction in the amount I paid for the room and the noisy guests left the next day, but sadly I had already booked somewhere else so I didn’t really give the guest house a fair trial. Apart from that everything else seemed fine, the location was good (fairly central), the room was clean and well presented, the bed was comfortable and I loved the fact there was free tea and coffee, communication with the management was good, and the price reasonable.

This hotel should not be advertised by Booking.com The reviews on their website were okay but I later read on Alistar Guest House website that someone was attacked in their room. I contacted Booking.com directly who cancelled the accommodation but refused to give me a refund

It was not a guest house at all but a NO GUEST HOUSE - GHOST house… I did not purchase a SIM card for a 2 day stay in Jersey so I did not want to use my phone and incur roaming charges.. this all self-service place did not offer any alternative. So glad a client was at the door when I checked in. He too was trying desperately to contact the owner…and FINALLY succeeded…he was not impressed at all… otherwise I would have been stuck at the door with no option…we also met 2 Chinese girls inside who couldn’t get through to the owner and did not know which bedroom was theirs…together we figured out a solution without of course, once again, the assistance of the owner…do I need to add the toilet was broken with no indication it was broken…at least the bed was comfortable. This terrible experience was definitely a one-off…I guess we are no longer allowed to travel without a phone

Proximity to downtown

All stated above

This accommodation should not be listed on any site. Very poor facilities and old tired decor. The light fittings above were falling from rose to ceiling, the wires were exposed, the wiring and wall main sockets were broken and wires exposed. The bathroom toilet was next to at right angles to sink and could not access unless limbo trained! Excessive noise and bad language during the one night we stayed out off the seven days paid for! We felt threatened and very uneasy. We had to look for a better solution and booked into another property. The accommodation website is false and not a true account as its 10 years old from two previous owners. It does not have two high class restaurants and does not offer breakfast. The certificates in the premises are not compliant with the owner and over 10 years old. The owner is not present in the accommodation and the free WiFi shows the code of Liverpool. Draw your own conclusions there!! To summarise our very short expensive stay: we have not been offered any refund and this accommodation should not be listed anywhere as is clearly a local doss hole. Fit for vagrants only.
