We went to the OGH for 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary and the hotel were extremely attentive. Such a warm welcome upon arrival and throughout our stay, we could not fault anything, staff, food and accommodation were first class. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is very nice and has extremely friendly staff.
However it is a bit dated but it adds to the relaxed feel of Guernsey! Therefore do not expect the same as a 5star in a major city.
Room was very comfortable and breakfast was good.

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary. The staff were fantastic and could not have done any more for us - they made us feel truly special. The room was large and comfortable and the food and service were definitely 5* - afternoon tea is a must! The island is beautiful and we would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Guernsey.

Stayed 3 nights in this wonderful 5* hotel where staff are so friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble.
Andi Raziya welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a tour and set the tone. Andrew, the General Manager runs an efficient, welcoming hotel and the four of us enjoyed a fun entry into 2018 with a delicious, outstanding menu. The chef is to be congratulated. The kitchen then produced an amazing brunch the next day as well and Gareth Burns led an amazing team.
The four days were relaxed. It did not matter that the weather was grey, windy and very wet because the hotel was so warm and hospitable - in the brasserie where we enjoyed our breakfasts and an excellent evening meal where particular mention should be made of the service provided by Ken and Remi, in the gin bar where Victor served us with good advice on an amazing choice of gins, in the spa, at the delightful afternoon tea with roaring fire, where Caroline was charming and helpful.
The hotel had a minor problem with our room; the hotel staff actively ensured our stay was not impaired, we were moved to a better room at their instigation. We also left some belongings behind by accident and hotel speedily contacted us to organise their safe return to us.

We stay at this hotel every year, it's our home away from home. Always first class service and this year was no exception, from the minute you step through the door the staff ensure you have the warmest of welcomes and go out of their way to ensure your total comfort, the stresses and strains of life completely evaporate on entering this oasis of peace.
Elegant surroundings and excellent food, it was particularly nice to see the manager and assistant manager working alongside their staff on New Years Eve to serve the meal, they lead by example and the staff have a clear sense of purpose and appear to genuinely enjoy their work.

Stayed just one night with my wife as a break from the kids. It was perfect the room clean comfortable and quiet. The decor was tasteful and well thought out.
The food excellent we had dinner and breakfast both were top notch.
The thing that stood out most were the staff. At all levels they were courteous and attentive exceptionally professional and you felt they genuinely were interested in your wellbeing, nothing was too much trouble.
It does come at a price but would recommend this hotel and it would be our first choice for a stay in Guernsey.

My husband and I spent three very comfortable nights at this wonderful hotel located right in the heart of St Peter Port.
The service was outstanding – every staff member took a genuine interest in our well being, and some went way above and beyond the call of duty.
On the first night the chef Robert overhead me talking about (of all things) porridge and we ended up having a chat. I told him I like steel cut oats (pinhead oats). To my delight and amazement, he had some specially brought in from the mainland which was no mean feat with the storms playing havoc on supply lines. Such a wonderful service ethos - thank you Robert!
Breakfast was varied, plentiful and beautifully fresh – amazing that they could get such a good selection of fresh fruit there at this time of year. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant one night which was excellent.
We loved exploring the different parts of the hotel – the Crown Club and the lovely room with all the couches and fireplaces. Our room was warm, clean and comfortable - we really couldn’t fault this excellent hotel. Thanks to all the staff (particularly Robert) for making our first trip to beautiful Guernsey so memorable.

Spa Day for two with treatment:
When booking this 5 star spa experience I hoped for a lovely spa, which was up to date and easy to enjoy/ get to!
Unfortunately, it did not live up to this expectation!
My boyfriend and I travel around spas as a hobby and this one did not cut it facility wise.
However, Sarah, who did my hour facial, was unbelievably great! Met us with a beaming smile , shook hands and made me feel very comfortable throughout !
The facial was perfect- she listened to my requirements and even adapted the treatment when my skin became sensitive !
She is a real asset to the team and is worth 5 stars reading customer service and welfare ! This needs to be noticed and rewarded
Sadly, I was very disappointed that the swimming pool (outdoors) is only accessible thought the hotel itself - including the restaurant!!?? Or outside on the street. I was extremely uncomfortable at this and hope to see changes.
Sadly I did not have the flip flops - nor offered any- so I walked outside bare foot in my robe!
The food was okay- but not amazing- had the cheese toasty- needs to be much smaller in portion !.
However, yet again, your staff save you!
They are so kind, not judgement even though we are young and very polite ! Everyone who was working in the restaurant at 12:30 on the 9/8/18 must be rewarded immensely !!

We're told it's the best hotel in Guernsey and I'm sure it is but as we fell in love with OGH from day one we've not been elsewhere to stay on the island. From arrival to departure your every need is anticipated and supplied by wonderful staff who never fail to smile and for whom nothing is too much bother. Everyone is greeted like an old friend ( and many are just that) and like us return year after year. Great accommodation, dining and leisure.Easy walk downhill into town and if you can't face the climb back it's only a couple of minutes by taxi.

Without doubt my favourite hotel in the world. I love going back here everytime, though its mostly with work. The staff are utterly amazing and this alone makes you want to come back again and again.. there is nothing that they wont or cant do for you. The hotel is beautifully decorated as are the rooms which ooze decadence and charm..and wonderfully appointed. Its ideally situated to explore St Peter Port. The restaurants are wonderful especially the Indian and breakfast is a tour de force. The only sad thing is when i have to leave.. but then you count the days till when you come back.. just simply wonderful.

Gym, the people at the gym are very helpful and it is a lovely little set up! I have just joined this week and already enjoying going and I don't really enjoy fitness any more so that's new for me. The staff have really helped me understand what I need to be doing and how to get started and I feel confident they will help me along my journey. :)

Super meal by Indian specialist Bronwent was first class and the restaurant service the same. Extremely good value considering the quality, the ambiance of the surroundings and the courtesy shown. If you think £15 is expensive don't order it.

It's a great hotel with excellent service and very good breakfast, in a very central location... But it's very expensive and that makes it not the best value. The staff were faultless throughout the stay and the rooms were comfortable. You do get what you pay for but it still felt overpriced, which is a shame as it's a very good hotel indeed.

Great service with proper tea served on the terrace. The views are somewhat blocked by a ivy covered low stone wall, but this adds to the intimate feel of the venue.
