Alhambra  

On Jersey’s coast in St. Helier — a Victorian townhouse hotel steps from Havre des Pas seawater lido (150 m). Tucked on Roseville Street, near Bus No.1 and within about 1–1.5 km of St. Helier town centre, Jersey Museum, Fort Regent and the Maritime Museum.

A 19-bedroom coastal townhouse with a compact, seaside vibe. Rooms are non-smoking and come with shower, hairdryer, tea-and-coffee maker, digital TV and free WiFi. Reception has limited hours, so guests are asked to share arrival details when booking. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals and late departures.

Small but well-equipped: lobby and lounge, terrace, bar, breakfast area, left-luggage and a public shower. WiFi is available in public areas and in rooms. Tour assistance and car-rental help are on offer. No on-site parking, but public car parks are nearby — and you can literally wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Start with a free cooked breakfast in the hotel breakfast area. There’s an on-site bar for laid-back evenings. A cluster of local restaurants and seafood spots sits within easy walking distance.
