On a five day visit to Guernsey I wanted a neck and back massage. I booked in at this spa!! Wonderful!!
Beautifully appointed and helpful staff. The massage was the best yet and I have one at home regularly. Thank you!.,

A perfect, faultless stay, including excellent service at Reception. The attention to detail, excellent breakfast, impeccable staff, high standard of service and extra touches are what a great stay is all about. The management and staff understand how to run a good hotel and look after their guests.

As ever OGH was wonderful. Staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Outdoor pool was put to good use and food was as good as ever. I leave feeling pampered and relaxed. Location is perfect for exploring St Peters Port, an easy stroll down to the waterfront.

Stayed at this gorgeous Hotel in July for a Birthday treat in one of the balcony rooms with amazing sea views
From the genuine friendly welcome of the reception staff to the exceptional service we received in all area's of the Hotel, the OGH has to be one of the top Hotels we have ever stayed in, The room was beautiful, view stunning, private balcony, we had a superb freshly cooked breakfast each morning within the walled garden, as for the location we found it perfect for sightseeing - we will return!

We had never been to Guernsey, always Jersey, so we decided it was high time we went there. For our trip to the island, to celebrate my birthday, we looked at what is generally agreed is the best hotel on the island, "OGH", as all the locals call it, and we booked a superior room with sea views. This wasn't cheap, but you get what you pay for, and if you try this hotel, it would pay to buy as good a room as you can, not to say that there's anything wrong with the "standard" rooms - we had a look into a couple of them during cleaning.
Our room had a big bay window with a view over the centre of St. Peter Port, and the various harbours/marinas. There was an oversize sofa just by the window, so we could sit and look at the view.......marvellous! The rest of the room was great, just one very small markdown about the shower, which was a bit cranky and needs modernising.
The hotel is slap in the middle of town, the main entrance is not hugely imposing but once inside, the whole place is scrupulously maintained and the décor is wonderful. Most of the walls are fabric, as opposed to wallpaper, the colour schemes are superb, including sumptuous carpeting.
There are two restaurants, which I will review separately, but I will just mention here that both of them are fantastic. Breakfasts are wonderful. When we were there for three nights in August and in the middle of a U.K. heatwave, breakfasting outside was an option, this is in the gardens, which - this being Guernsey - were lovely.
But the defining feature of this hotel is the staff. Without exception, and from many countries, they are superb. And there is no stuffiness at any time, but one is regally looked after.
We have been to many luxury hotels around the world, we both agreed that OGH was right up there amongst the very best. It excels in all departments, and Guernsey is a lovely place. What more could you ask for?

The afternoon tea at the OGH is the best of the best! The service is first class throughout and the whole experience is superb. Also, being able to have the afternoon tea in the gardens of the OGH just makes it even better. The best afternoon tea I have ever had! What an incredible place.

Just returned after a four night stay at the OGH.
What a fantastic stay ideally located to visit the town.
From the moment you walk through the front door the experience begins with a glass of bubbly to start you stay,a guided tour of the hotel and then to your very comfortable room.
The staff are very friendly and absolutely nothing is to much trouble to make your stay a very memorable one.
The food is very good with a good range of meals and snacks and really no need to eat outside the hotel.
This is a 5 star hotel and I can clearly see why.

Stayed before four times before and returned back today, after one night stay Jaro Opletal is amazing and you get a brilliant welcome. I have visited many Channel Island hotels and the lady that welcomed me was amazing on Reception. Old Government House Hotel stands out from the other hotels as it's just not a process they do believe in Service.At the heart of St Peter Port and a very historic hotel.This hotel is not any ordinary chain hotel and stands out from the rest. Building is old and rooms may be small depending on what room you choose, but the Service soon makes up that.
Jaro Opletal and reception team set great standards even for the single traveller like me.
If your travelling to Channel Islands or to Guernsey this hotel is a must. I did visit this hotel before it became a Red Carnation Hotel, and standards have increased.Don't Expect a bland experince.

Just beautiful. Impeccable service. Breakfast was also excellent with great variety. The pool area is quite small but we got sun loungers after a short wait. The hotel is also in a perfect location. Would highly recommend

Smoked salmon sandwich was delicious! Sadly forgot the tea strainers for our teas! Easily sorted. Good service, great surroundings and very central! Top quality Red Carnation hotel in St Peter Port. Outdoor heated pool too!
