Could not praise this hotel enough. We have very high standards but our stay surpassed all expectations. Excellent location at top of hill with lovely views down over Candie Gardens and port. We stayed in a superior room which was lovely. Prior to stay I requested a bath and just after arrival a special delivery of a very large bottle of bubble bath gave us an indication as to the attention to detail paid by the staff. Each and every staff member was perfect for their role and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely boutique hotel.

Visited the Duke on a Saturday afternoon. We chose to sit outside on the terrace.
We took our dog with us. This hotel is very dog friendly. The staff were very welcoming to both us and our little dog.
The afternoon tea was excellent. The staff efficient and friendly. We have been there before for tea and we will return.

Stayed for 4 days on a group business trip and was very lucky to be in this hotel. The location is amazing and the view exceptional. The staff were of an extremely high standard and were extremely attentive. The hotel was a little dated in regards to decor but immaculate.

Stayed recently here at the OGH as part of a birthday present for my wife. There is little to add that hasn't already been said in other reviews, as the OGH gets just about everything perfect, but I'll give it a go. Booking was straightforward, and reception checked a few days beforehand that everything was covered. We arrived prior to our room being available (c. midday) but were checked in, luggage left with concierge, and taken to the lounge area and provided with a cool glass of fizz. Much appreciated!
Our room (111) was extremely spacious and spotlessly clean, with a good view out across the harbour and to the sea. All the usual items were provided, as you'd expect in a 5* hotel, complimentary water, quality bathroom products, dressing gown, slippers (too small tho!) etc. but the overall feeling was of quality and attention to detail.
On our first evening, as we had decided not to dine out, we ate in the OGH' Curry Room. Service was faultless and the menu, although set, included some really good options, and the food itself was well spiced, perfectly presented and very tasty. Would recommend.
Breakfast is provided in the bright and airy dining room, and again, service from all staff was just as you would require, attentive but not intrusive. There were many options available from the menu, but the fruit, English breakfast, toast and juice we had was just right, and perfectly cooked. A really pleasant, leisurely and ideal start to the day.
OGH is located about five mins walk down a slope in to St Peter Port, which has some good shops, and some OK. We toured the island via bus (but be aware, service once you get off to view /visit etc) is only about one bus every 45 mins and some bus stops are just `Bus` written on the pavement. Can recommend Castle Cornet in the harbour area, not so the Underground Hospital, which could be so much more with some investment. There are some good pubs and restaurants in the town, particuarly recommend Le Nautique, booking essential. The town gets really busy on Saturday night, and there are the usual boisterous crowds revelling...
Overall, we couldn't recommend OGH more highly. They have got everything right, from the service provided, quality of food and drinks on offer, to the hotel itself, including the grounds, the room(s) and the spa (a new experience for me!). We would definitely recommend this to anyone to stay here. Its not cheap, but neither is it overly expensive either for what is provided, and also what should be expected at a hotel of this level and quality, which is exceeded on all levels. Well done to OGH staff, management and Red Carnation group, as you've really hit the mark here. Top quality. Great location. This is ideal for a perfect relaxing and somewhat indulgent Guernsey break. We'll be back.

We visited for a Sunday lunch and between 8 of us we had just about everything from a Club Sandwich to the Roast Beef. Very attentive staff, reasonable prices for the island's only 5 star hotel and an absolutely gorgeous setting. We'll be going back next time to stay for a weekend.

We stayed for 3 nights, the welcome was warm, our room was lovely, the spa facilities were good, food was fantastic, but the restaurant staff were not 5 star, we had no booking for our 1st night dinner, but this was quickly sorted, the staff member commented that guests do not want to sit in the restaurant booths, this was made very obvious as we were completely forgotten twice during our stay. To say we are disappointed is an understatement, if we stay again, I hope you have this issue sorted OGH.

This restaurant is a delight, tucked away in a quiet area of the island. The views are amazing. The menu has plenty of choices and the food is absolutely outstanding. Locally caught seafood is always on the menu and the steaks from a local supplier are fantastic. Had lobster and it was cooked to perfection also on another visit crab and lobster linguine which was delicious. The staff are very efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back.

In October 2016, alvin d said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Had a 4 night midweek break during October half-term. Guernsey is beautiful but be aware that some attractions, cafes, etc have closed for the season or have limited opening hours. This hotel was clean and comfortable, the food was plentiful, hot and tasty and good value for money in comparison to other restaurants. The staff could not be better, pleasant, helpful and professional. We didn't use the pool, golf course or spa facilities as we were too busy exploring the lovely island(and Herm). We will on or next visit. The hotel is well located within easy reach of all parts of the island and the grounds were lovely.

In October 2016, JAMES D said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Never having been to Guernsey before we were a bit green about the hotel standards. Would we have chosen badly?
Totally wrong. We could not have chosen better. The Pierre Park is great.
From the minute of our arrival the staff could not do more for us. Reception was very warm and immediately put you at ease going through the hotel facilities. Nice touch was a personal letter welcoming us. The room was spacious with a big bathroom. It had a lovely view of the grounds, which are extensive, backing on to the golf course. The hotel going thru a facelift but this is very discreet. No bother.
Flat screen TV,safe,robes,lovely toiletries,tea making facilities and a small fridge with fresh water daily. Only 1 wee point to make. The bedside lights are a bit bright and tend to keep your partner awake if you are reading. Beds are comfy and to get 3 pillows is a nice touch. Housekeeping is of a very high quality.
Breakfast is very extensive with as well as a buffet of cold and ready cooked you can also have specials prepared at no extra cost. You can also have it in your room.
We try to opt for a spa and in choosing this hotel we could quite simply not have had better. Top quality throughout. Good changing room latest showers, good sized pool,sauna ,steam room,gym and a luxurious hot tub. We made full use of the fabulous facilities. We had massages from the excellent spa staff in gorgeously calming surroundings in a very relaxed atmosphere.
We had a latish flight on our check out day but we continued to use the spa till we left for the airport. As it was Sunday we had lunch in the hotel carvery. Top notch food well prepared and presented. Again the staff were attentive and discreet.
All in all we had a fantastic time on our first trip to Guernsey and this hotel cannot be beat in our opinion. Will we return? Try stopping us.
