If you are looking for first class luxury then look no further.

This hotel is renowned for its excellent customer service and attention to detail.

Something for those special occasions, or just for a drink in the bar .... you will not be disappointed.

Excellent food, excellent service.

Haven't been for ages but rocked up as birthday drinks in motion for a friend. Pleasantly surprised. Less pomp n ceremony, good vibe, great service from staff despite drinkers paying little attention. The added touches of great nibbles with a sense of privacy with service is second to none. Thank you Ashley! Not your obvious Friday night drinking hole but after last Friday I'm sold!

Super hotel in an ideal off town location.
The restaurant chefs select and produce excellent food all served to an extremely high standard by superb staff. Dont miss the breakfast bacon, it was the best Ive ever tasted.
Our room was not overly large but well appointed with very comfortable bed and seamless air-conditioning. Housekeeping was highly proffesional and practically invisible.

The 'spa' is actually the 'Revolution Health Club at The OGH' and is open to anyone for a one month subscription, the treatment section is loosely managed and seemingly for locals, both are best avoided if you have experience of genuine Spa Hotels.
The hotel is regularly used for conferences and but the delgates are very well managed by dedicated hotel staff and rarely give cause for concern.

Would we stay at the OGH again? Yes, most certainly!

My 83 year old mother and I had the most terrific time in Guernsey, and although we love the island, what made the visit so fantastic was staying in this truly 5 star hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for the amazing staff, the food was all gorgeous and the hotel was spotless and beautiful. They treated my mother, who has severe memory problems, with complete respect, making the holiday a delight for both her and me. Small touches, like the Easter bunnies, dairy free sweets for me and high quality chocolates every night, make you feel welcome. The staff did everything they could to make my newly diagnosed dairy intolerance, not a problem and were very helpful.
I didn't get to try out the spa, as we were busy revisiting places from the past, but on our next visit I certainly will.
Thank you to all of the staff. It was a lovely holiday. 😄😄😄

We went with friends for afternoon tea - all lovely. Great friendly service, staff obviously enthusiastic about their place of work. Beautiful building and the tea was fabulous. If we return to /guernsey this would be the place to stay.

Delighted to find this gem of a hotel still as good as I knew it 50 years ago. The staff could not do enough to make us welcome and my daughter's dog was looked after better than at any other hotel he has stayed in. We dined in the Brasserie and thoroughly enjoyed each meal - with one small proviso that the chef could be a bit more adventurous with his deserts. However brakfast was superb.

The Old Government House Hotel is a fantastic place to stay with outstanding service and a warm and comfortable atmosphere; we had a wonderful time. Right in the heart of St Peter Port, this is an ideal location to explore all Guernsey has to offer; the staff can't have been more helpful or attentive. The evening meal at The Brasserie was excellent and the selection for breakfast was delicious; we will certainly be going back! The staff were outstanding offering helpful advice as to the best places to visit; we were made to feel welcome at every opportunity.

Overall we enjoyed our 4 night stay in OGH the room was a little small but the suitcases did fit in the wardrobe so were out of the way. The check in was quick and we were shown to our room but not given much other information even about where to go for breakfast. The staff were all very polite and sorted a problem with our room very quickly.
Breakfast was very good but we did not eat any other meals there as we prefer to eat as we go. Would stay there again when we return to Guernsey.

First of all, the rooms are small but for 1 or 2 nights they are good.
Staff are brilliant, very attentive and helpful.

Bed was good to sleep in and I would go back to this hotel.

Location is excellent as you can walk into town in less than 2 minutes.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this hotel, however there is little that is needed !!
Accommodation and dining both excellent.
Spa available (but not used by me).
Go for the rooms with a view over the harbour towards Herm (worth a trip in itself).
Central for all local services.
Wouldn't hesitate to go again.

A stay here is a very nice experience. On arrival, the reception desk were friendly and informative offering iced lemon water which was much appreciated after our long ferry trip. Our car was taken and parked for us due to the restricted parking facilities. However, we did not use our car for the duration as the bus service in Guernsey is very good and cheap. Our room was compact but had everything for our comfort although we could have done with another chair. The bathroom was very nice with good quality toiletries and super fluffy white towels. Also had automatic blue lighting for that visit to the bathroom at night! The room was serviced twice daily and everything was very clean. Breakfast was very nice with a good selection of fruits, juices and yoghurts. There is a charge for a "healthy" breakfast but there is a nice selection of other cooked food included in the price. I tried the crushed avocado one morning and quinoa another as this is not something you have everyday for breakfast. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We ate one evening in their restaurant. The food was nicely cooked and presented. The cost for the two of us was £97 for a starter , main, a glass of wine each, coffee and I had a liqueur so not cheap. However, as we had a £50 meal allowance, this brought it down to an acceptable level and it was nice to dress up for an evening. There are nice gardens and an outdoor swimming pool. There is no indoor pool which is a shame. Access on foot to OGH is uphill so might present some difficulty for someone with walking problems but otherwise in a good position. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who go out of their way to help and we would stay here again.

I spent my birthday here for a relaxing weekend away. The hotel is in the ideal location near to the town in a very scenic spot. Our room was perfect with stunning views out to sea, everything is very luxurious with traditional charm. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful - it really makes a difference, thank you to Andrew and his team. We ate in the curry restaurant one evening, which I can highly recommend. All the food is of a very high quality. The hotel has a wonderful ambience and is very popular for events and afternoon teas. Please do not hesitate to book this hotel for your next trip to Guernsey, you will love it! We can't wait to go back.

My wife and I recently spent three nights at the OGH for our wedding anniversary,
We had been to the island before but not the OGH on arrival we were pleasantly surprised the hotel is stunning and the people were incredibly helpful and friendly something that was to continue throughout our stay.
We were given a quick tour of the facility’s, unlike some hotels where it takes most of your stay to find your way around
Our room (104) was very comfortable, warm with a lovely view of the harbour and the hotel gardens
The food was fantastic and whatever we asked for was never too much trouble
Bar prices were very competitive with local bars
This is a hotel we will be visiting again as soon as possible.
A big thank you to all the staff for making our break special

Location, food, ambience, cleanliness, comfort, friendly and helpful staff all combine to make this a truly 5 star experience. Not overbearing or intrusive but polite and attentive service from everyone - reception, concierge, bar and waiting staff, housekeeping, spa and managers all excellent. We had a memorable 3 nights here and will most definitely return and try other red carnation hotels if this one is anything to go by. Some great deals with lovely bedrooms - we were on the second floor with a lovely view out over St peter Port harbour. Great little walk into town down Smith Street, ate in brasserie as food so good, also de nellos in town. Plentiful supplies of everything in room and nightly turn down service too. All the little things added up to make this so enjoyable - probably down to the training and the excellent underpinning philosophy of the owner of the group. Thank you so much.

We originally booked a four night stay at the OGH, whilst attending a conference. Unfortunately, due to extremely foggy weather mking flights to Guernsey impossible, we arrived one day late. We spent three excellent days, but four would have been even better.
All the staff were emtremely pleasant, and couldn;t do enough to help. The room, a King with sea view, was beautifully presented, and well supplied with tea and coffee making facilities.
Breakfast offered a good choice, to suit most requirements, in the charming Brasserie, where we also enjoyed one evening dinner.
We look forward to returnin.

We recently visited the OGH for an indulgent short break. We have nothing but praise both for the hotel and the staff. The ambience, subdued luxury, and location gets a 10/10 from us. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were welcoming, and helpful without being overbearing. We have stayed at several of the Red Carnation group hotels and can say without fear of contradiction that their attention to detail and customer service is second to none. We shall definitely be going back.

We decided to choose the OGH Hotel's Curry room for our very special occasion. We had aperitifs in Harrys Bar followed by a most wonderful dining experience.
The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was indeed worthy of their accolades and the evening was a memorable success.
Thank you all at the OGH.

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times and love, love, love it! If you are looking for a charming yet luxurious place to stay when visiting this beautiful island, look no further. Good food, amazing service and a perfect location. Could not recommend highly enough, we will definitely be back. Hopefully for the next new year gala.

A superb Sunday lunch with my family with great views across to Herm and Sark. They have a new executive chef and he is clearly pushing the boat out.

They food was just perfect , we had several dishes between us. Sea Bass, Roast Beef and Duck all was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly. I had Roast Beef which I can honestly say was one of the best Sunday Lunches I have had in a restaurant.

Service was attentive and the tables are a good size (nothing worse than being squeezed on a table).

The cheese selection was fantastic and the starter or Artichoke soup was just excellent.

If you have not been here for I while ,I really strongly recommend you go.

Well done OGH,5 stars :) BTW.free wif-fi is a good speed!
