We have stopped at this hotel many times, it keeps getting better. The Spa centre has been recently refurbished, the rest of the hotel is to follow. The food is of good quality without becoming pretentious and over fussy. The rooms are large with lovely views. It is close enough to walk into town but feels as though it is more rural.
The staff are lovely, you are made to feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. We look forward to returning.

Spent a week here during a very busy time, moving home and having builders in to do alterations. The hotel is in the middle of Guernsey and is set in its own parkland, with a lovely lake. We had an Executive Room which had a huge double bed, so comfortable. There are three or four restaurants which serve excellent food. In the hotel there is a gym, with a full range of equipment, as well as a beautiful pool and spa. There is a sauna, steam room and an outdoor heated Jacuzzi. This was amazing to use in mid-November.
Guernsey is not as lovely as Jersey, in our opinion, but there are many places to visit. There is an excellent bus service for which the fare is £1 every journey. A 2 hour trip round Guernsey costs £1.
What made our stay really special was the friendly and helpful attitude of all the hotel staff, from the managers down to the cleaning staff. All were cheerful and always willing to help.

From booking, arrival to departure the hotel staff in all areas could not have been more helpful.
Arranged with the hotel reception pre-arrival that the hotel's courtesy transport would collect and return us at the airport on arrival/departure for our stay - extremely efficient service.
Room/suite was very spacious, clean and extremely well serviced. Room service very prompt when used if only a little expensive - £3.80 for a litre of water!
Booked on a bed and breakfast arrangement, the breakfast was wholesome but left a little bit to be desired if left to dine at the end of the allotted time (rock hard black puddings, congealed fried and scrambled eggs, etc.
Dined in the Victor Hugo and Pavilion restaurants and in the main received exceptional service and high quality dishes for evening meals. Also used the Pavilion restaurant for lunchtime meals the staff in here were very attentive.
Used the hotel's pool, sauna and hot tub facilities following a brief by a member of the facilities team, very impressive.

Friendly staff, first class in every way. Good variety of breakfast with English & continental options in the buffet. You can also order from the breakfast menu. You'll get help with the sparetime activities from the concierge.

Lovely surroundings, very attentive staff, pleasant food.
We have experienced a couple of these on the mainland previously not so sure the overall experience matched.
Quite popular but not so sure we would recommend or return.

Following a lovely long weekend in Guernsey with my Mum, I cannot recommend this hotel enough.
From the minute we arrived, the staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was lovely with a great view over St Peter Port and the hotel is beautifully decorated with lots of lovely rooms to just sit and relax in. We had one rainy day but it was so nice to hang around and enjoy being at the hotel.
We ate in the Curry restaurant and the Brasserie and both were great.
Anyone going to the Old Government House is in for a treat.
Thanks to all of the lovely staff’ especially Zoe and Nelly on reception and Jaro and Gareth for your help and chats
Hopefully we’ll be back!

Visited Guernsey for the first time and saw this hotel on Trip Advisor. Stayed for 4 nights. The OGH team have got excellent customer service to a fine art and they genuinely want you to enjoy your stay here. From the reception, concierge, staff in the restaurants and bars, to the cleaners they were faultless, nothing was too much trouble.
Loved the hotel, its old and full of character. Stayed in Room 315. Quite small but really had enough room. Good size bathroom with powerful shower within the bath and nice large fluffy towels.
We liked the area overlooking the square where we could sit and have a drink and watched the world go by. Also the pool was very relaxing.
Excellent location in St Peter Port, numerous shops and restaurants right on the doorstep. A few minutes walk to the harbour.
We had dinner in their Curry Room one evening. It was fabulous and a great atmosphere to dine in. We also tried their Brasserie one evening for dinner. Again fabulous food and a good choice.
So along with the hundreds of people who have rated OGH with ' Excellent', we join them and thoroughly recommend a stay here.
Thank you to all at OGH, we'll be back !.

We have stayed at many places over 50 years! This was the Best Experience ever, for us, in hospitality, service, facilities and quality of accommodation; The Brasserie Restaurant, in a beautiful setting, provided an excellent range for breakfasts and the one dinner we had was most enjoyable. We are looking forward to visiting again, even if it's just to sample the experience promised in the Curry Room!

The Hotel is not on the seafront, and indeed the seafront at St Peter Port consists of end to end harbours where the rich and/or famous moor their boats. The hotel is old, and this shows as you become aware of limitations as you use, eg the wardrobe, the desk where the chair is too deep for sensible use as a writing table, the mottled mirror behind the bed and so on. The bathroom is good and towels and accessories (Occident) excellent. Most of all our luxury double room was small, and I hate to think how small a standard room would be. I had to park our cases under the desk or in the wardrobe. For the price I expect a larger room.
The hotel lounge is in the centre of the public spaces and does not have any outside windows. It also tends to become a thoroughfare for hotel staff and waiters, but it is here that you can enjoy a full cream tea (£30). If you are using the lounge for quiet reading you will probably find the lighting is good for this only in a couple of arm chairs.
The staff are excellent, every one. They are always smiling, constantly attentive, willing to give advice and share ideas for things to do. Breakfast is excellent, dinner less so. It is very pricey and there are some outstanding restaurants in town. That said the curry restaurant at OGH is cosy and the curries exceptional. We ate at Nautique and it really is a memorable fine dining experience of London quality without London prices. But you need to book well in advance...even advance of your visit to Guernsey! Dix Neuf is the other end of the scale, noisy and busy, but good portion meals at reasonable prices if that is how you like it.
If the weather is right there is good walking to be had along the cliffs, especially east and south. Be aware that these walks need stamina and are for experienced walkers. Don't miss the millenium tapestry, especially if you have an interest in creative embroidery. The pool looked inviting, and there is a gym. However, it is these extras to the hotel itself which increase the price of your bed and breakfast stay. That is worth considering if you do not use all that the hotel has to offer in this respect
