This hotel is a wonderful and relaxing place to stay. Rooms are clean and well furnished and designed. Food is of a very high standard. All the staff are courteous and very caring, looking after everyone's needs. They certainly take a great deal of pride in their work. Do not miss out on this hotel, convenient to shops and restaurants.

Just returned from a 3 night break at the OGH as an extended family group over 4 generations from 8yrs to 80yrs. The whole experience from making the booking over the phone, to checking in, to departure was everything you would hope it to be from a luxury hotel. Without exception all staff were pleasant, curteous and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and any requests or observations made to them were actioned there and then without question or fuss. Given the hotel's diverse clientel, I think it is testament to the ethos and management of the OGH, that they seem able to create an atmosphere where everyone, whatever the group dymanics or reason for their visit, is made to feel comfortable and at ease. We had 3 rooms, all in the suite or refubished category, and if you are booking for a special occasion and want something luxurious I would definitely recommend splashing out if you can. They are beautiful. Requesting a room with a view and or balcony is also advisable. Food in the Hotel, whatever we ordered and wherever we chose to have it, was excellent as was the service. Lot's of nice little touches - complimentary sweetie jars for the children, evening turn down service, our rooms were generally serviced whilst we were having b'fast, boardgames in the lounge, complimentary papers, umberellas, chocolates........... As I had advised the front desk that we were there for a special occasion we were presented with complimentary champagne and fruit platter with handwritten card aknowledging the celebration. We didn't use the Spa, but it looked fab. No indoor pool, but outside pool was set at tropical temperature - my daughter swam in the rain!!
This Hotel could be perfect, whatever hotel experience you're looking for.

Just returned from our second visit to OGH and we were not disappointed. The staff are truly oustanding and do all they can to ensure that you are made to feel welcome and at home at their wonderful hotel. Special thanks to Harry who is rightly proud of his hotel. We stayed in the Herm Suite which has a fabulous view over St Peter Port and across to Herm and it really is a magical place to watch the sun come up or go down. Our room was large and luxurious with a huge bathroom with plentiful supplies of good quality toiletries. The red carnation group have also bought the Duke of Richmond in St Peter Port and we ate there one night which was very good although for us the OGH remains THE place to stay on Guernsey and we are already planning a return trip.

We have just returned home having spent four nights at the OGH. Wonderful from the start and the staff extremely friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be returning. Very handy for the town as just a short 2 minute walk.....downhill! We had a wonderful view of the port from our room which is featured up above. The most comfortable bed in the world and we wanted to take the bathroom home with us. Would highly recommend this hotel and worth paying that little bit extra. Missed out on afternoon tea and the Indian restaurant so will have to return soon.

Just returned from OGH. Worth all of it's 5 stars without being ostentatious. Staff so very helpful, especially with my father who has mobility issues. The hotel even arranged a mobility scooter ready for his arrival. The rooms were beautiful. We were in a studio suite which was very spacious and very glamourously decorated. The bathroom was huge! We had views over towards Candie Gardens. My parents were in the Centenary Suite (house suite). This again was beautifully decorated and huge, it had fantastic sea views over the Port. The hotel was only a 2 minute walk to the High Street shops and 5 minutes to the harbour. We ate in both restaurants which were very different. The Brasserie food was more traditional, very good though, service was brilliant. The Curry House was very colonial, wonderfully decorated. All of us agreed it was the best curry we had ever eaten, well worth the money. We all had an afternoon tea which was expensive but beautifully presented and very tasty in a sumptuously decorated lounge. My son used the gym which was good. I would definitely recommend this hotel, we had a good deal with 3 nights for the price of 2.

We have just returned from a weeks stay and once again found the OGH to be faultless on every level. The service was perfect and incredibly attentive on both an individual and collective level. The Brasserie menu and food was quite delicious , and our daughter will never forget Ken's Flambé pancake - a perfect ending to her stay! The Crown Club is a most welcomed addition since our last visit and fits in superbly. I must mention the fabulous housekeeping staff who quietly and unobtrusively maintain, service and replenish the rooms to such a high standard - this is a vital aspect of ones stay and again, accomplished superbly. A fabulous week was had by all - the weather was perfect, the pool temperature was perfect, the OGH is perfect!

On a recent day trip return to Guernsey after some forty years we made a short lunch time visit to the OGH for drinks, I must reiterate that this was only for drinks however I am delighted to say that the Hospitality bit had not deserted the OGH. The hotel is wonderfully arranged in what I would describe as Chic Opulence the staff were equally well presented with an easy attentive presence, we thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit and plan to make a return with more available time in which to sample more of the hotels offerings.

I took my mum to the OGH in May for 4nights and it did not disappoint!
The hotel is expensive but you definitely get what you pay for!!
The staff were all amazing and couldn't do enough for you!
The food was amazing- especially breakfast.
If I went back to St. Peter's port, I definitely wouldn't stay anywhere else!

I was impressed by the sheer number of antiques in the ODG.The ambiance was fantastic. The hotel had areal old world classy feel. The temperature of the outdoor pool was equivalent to bath water but the best thing about the hotel was the staff. They were amazingly helpful and well informed.

I have just returned from another visit during Town Carnival. I like to thank everyone for organizing the Caribbean Night with Tropikal Vizions. The music and the barbecue was a big success.
All the employees worked very hard and I think you are the best staff I have ever met, very efficient and friendly. Dear Mr. Chantrell I hope you will let everyone know. Thank you.
From the arrival until departure I was really spoiled from breakfast to lunch, dinner and drinks at the bar. The quality of the food in the Brasserie Restaurant was excellent. I like the lamb curry best, I even had it twice.
As mentioned before you are really "my home away from home".
See you again next year.
