Apollo Hotel - Saint Helier Jersey, United Kingdom 

The family hotel is situated near the town centre and shopping area also the local attractions and heritage. The hotel staff are lovely and always up beat, nothing was too much trouble for me. The receptionist are never to busy to help. I stayed in a standard double room on breakfast basis and the price was perfect for what i got on a bank holiday weekend. ?89.00 per night for two people sharing. Can't complain! The breakfast in the morning was brilliant and i could of gone up for more as many times as i liked. There was a buffett style english breakfast with cereals, fruit, youghuts, juices and teas and coffees. The indoor swimming pool was clean, warm and supervised. You don't often see that today as it is not compulsory anymore to look after the guests in the leisure areas. There was a gym, solarium and two saunas to use also. The boot and ball pub was great to watch the football and to have a light lunch with friends. I would reccomend this hotel to young persons, the older generation and familys with young children. There is much to do on the island that will cater for all ages.

Having read all the reports I thought I would give the Apollo a go but was quite disappointed. Its fair to say that the location is superb for those who want to see Jersey as its so close to the shopping in St Helier But the standard of the rooms left a bit to be desired. The room got very hot as there was no air conditioning and as I looked out over the front of the hotel and the road, I couldnt open the window til later in the evening due to the noise. I put the 'Do not Disturb' tag on my door each morning as I dont like to waste towels or linen, expecting the room to be as I left it - but Each evening came back to find my room had been made up. You may think this is not a big deal but to me it is blatently disregarding the customer's wishes. And the building is split so I had to man handle my suitcase through an interesting route to check out. It has to be said (restaurant manager notwithstanding) the staff were friendly and polite and the location is a true asset.
