This was our third visit to this Hotel having been the previous 2 years and most dinfinately our last.
We noticed over the 3 years that the property had been neglected and was getting worse every year.
The first year we booked Bed & Breakfast and was not overlly impressed with the way the food was displayed or kept warm, eggs swimming in fat and almost cold, we thought we would give it another try but only on Bed and Breakfast Basis. In the following 2 years there was no improvement.
We have heard that this hotel is to close in December 2008, how much truth is in this I don't know, if it does stay open we will not visit again we have found other hotels on the Island in just as good if not better position which are far superior and more or less the same price.

I'm 11 years old and i came here with my mum this august/2008 Mum had been to jersey 3 times before and she stayed in the west view but we came somewhere different this year. As soon as i walked in i thought hmm... it's a bit old but after the day we arrived i totally loved it. The staff were funny, there was a very nice man here, the pool was wicked and the food was... words can't describe the food it was so lovely i recomend the Leek and Potatoe soup.
Everyone has run this hotel down but there so wrong it's wicked here. PLEASE COME

We understand that the hotel had been rather run-down, but I can assure you that when we went we were very impressed with the overall standard. The staff are fantastic and will go out of their way to help you. The restaurant food is now so good that the locals come for lunch (5-course) and dinner. The restaurant staff were brilliant and made us especially welcome with our children. The chef made me a huge chocolate cake for my birthday complete with candles and singing (and we didn't get charged for it).
We used the swimming pool every day and it must be one of the cleanest pools I've swum in (and as an ex-competitive swimmer I've swum in a lot)- the water clarity was 1st class. Yes you might think it's small but it was plenty big enough for my family to play in and for me to swim a few lengths. I do wish they would put some brighter lights in there, but you get used to it. The bubble pool was fun for all of us and my husband said that the sauna and steam rooms were fine. The gym was small but well equipped and had a large flat-screen TV in there. The leisure facilities do not get busy and we generally had the changing rooms to ourselves. Some locals are leisure members.
The de Normandie is in a great position; cross the road to the beach (but I don't think rooms will get a good view) and one block up to the lovely Howard Davies park and then you're 5 minutes walk to the centre.
I was so pleased we chose this hotel in preference to others. I would recommend it to all ages (but maybe not to yuppies) and we had the best Christmas ever there!

We went with both sets of parents for a 5 day break. The hotel is situated on a bend of a fairly busy road, which was at times a little worrying although the traffic always slowed down when people were crossing. The hotel has a large balcony at the front with chairs and a couple of loungers. The rooms were very nice, although a few did suffer with outside noise (from the busy road, and in particular the extractor fans to the rear). I did ask to move from my first room and this was no trouble at all. Staff on reception were very helpful in finding us another room.
There staff were very friendly. Some of the nicest people you could meet. Nothing was any trouble for them.
We paid an extra £1 a night to upgrade to half board and it’s the best £1 we have ever spent. The food was excellent. It was a four course meal which was different every night. I cannot recommend it enough. If you get the chance to upgrade to half board - DO IT you will not regret it.
There is also good entertainment too, three nights a week.

stayed here in June 2010 on B@B could not find any fault that was not rectified by staff on informing them,room very clean and spacious, maid every day who is brillant staff at meals were very obliging if you asked for anything at meal time they tried to please,I have traveled all over and have found a lot worse places than this,you must remember you only get what you pay for and this is good value,does not deserve some of the reviews given 2and 3years ago.
