Top hotels in Saint-Hélier
Le Saint-Antoine Hotel & Spa, BW Premier Collection
This is a very nice hotel with a friendly and professional staff. The only note we had was that the carpeting in our room could stand to be refreshed. Otherwise, a great stay.

Hôtel Restaurant Le Victoria
Staff are always so nice, friendly, and helpful. Room is always clean and comfortable. I wish they had at least one tv station that is English but it’s just for background noise and a few minutes at bedtime! Great location near the train station and we could walk to all the attractions we wanted ...

Mama Shelter Rennes
Lovely hotel in amazing location. We loved the spa too, and breakfast was great. Big room with fun design. Bar area was very dark and inside area not pleasant to sit in during winter, luckily sun came out so we could sit outside.
