We recently stayed three nights at the OGH Hotel and it would be one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at. The rooms are spacious, with two arm chairs to sit in and the bathroom had a separate bath and shower. The room was well air-conditioned and the wifi was free and of good quality.
There would be rooms in the hotel that have harbour views, but we were not in one. The hotel has a number of quiet rooms to have a drink in. Breakfast was served in a conservatory overlooking the pool area, we ate breakfast outside in the garden, very pleasant. The ambience of the hotel is one that makes you feel very special, without the staff being stand offish or remote, in fact they are very friendly. There is a lift for those who find stairs difficult.
The hotel is located on a hill quite close to the shopping precinct, and just below the Candie Gardens and museum.

We stayed in a superior sea view room with balcony and it lived up to our expectation. The room was spacious with furnishing to match the hotel including a large and comfy bed but we enjoyed the balcony the most with a super view over the town and harbour.The breakfasts were excellent with an extensive choice and lovely surroundings. We did not have the evening meals in the hotel as there were some lovely places to eat in town. I can confirm that we found all the staff friendly and helpful.

This is Guernsey’s only 5 star hotel and it feels like it. In the centre of St Peter Port with great views over the harbour is is fabulously located. The staff cannot do enough for you and the service is excellent from all departments. The food in the brasserie is also excellent…we didn’t eat in the Indian restaurant in the hotel so can’t pass comment on that. But the attitude of the hotel is summed up by a phase on the brasserie menu that announces (sic) that if there is nothing on the menu to whet your appetite then the reader is invited to ask for what he/she would like and the hotel will do its best to deliver. To that point, it might be worthwhile having more than one daily special to offer more than just a special fish option on the brasserie menu
We stayed there in July for 5 days along with our 25 year old son who we had taken to the same hotel as his first holiday nearly 25 years ago. In 1990 it was a hotel that looked as if it was trading on former glories and was in need of a make-over. And a makeover it has clearly had. Great Spa and Gym, cosy outside pool, comfortable lounges and bars and a very pleasant garden area make it a very nice place to be when the sun is shining and the sky is blue.
Our only ‘area for development’ would be related to the size of some of the rooms which can be described as very well equipped but ‘cosy’
We were all very sorry to leave and will definitely go back.

I was welcomed like an "old" friend when I returned. Everyone remembered my name. There were a lot of hugs and smiles. What a treat. The ladies at the reception are the friendliest I have every met. I was also happy to meet Harry C. Seepaul again and as before we had a friendly chat. I have never been to a hotel before where all the employees are so professional and friendly. Thanks again I already miss everyone of you.
The room was prepared like the years before. The neck pillow was ready so were the two bottles of still water someone thought about me not liking sparkling water.
The food at the Brasserie breakfast and lunch/dinner was perfect. As the year before I had my favourites, North Indian chicken curry and Rib Eye of English beef. Room service as always was excellent as well the sandwiches were very appetizing.
Having the musicians from the Town Carnival playing at the hotel was also a great idea and the guests enjoyed it very much. During other times the pianist was doing a great job he even played "Danny Boy" two times two different versions especially for me.
What a great surprise receiving an email from the General Manager Andrew Chantrell after arriving back home something I do appreciate very much.
I will return again next year.

Staying in youth hostels is more our style so this was a very special trip to celebrate a special birthday and beating cancer. OGH beat all expectations,from the champagne and delicious birthday cake waiting in bedroom - with eight foot wide bed,to the delightful views from our windows over the harbour. The attention from the staff has been amazing, everyone has been smiling, friendly, helpful and insistent that nothing is too much trouble. We loved the pool, the spa and all our breakfasts in the garden. Can't recommend this hotel too much.

Brought my 88 year old father here for a few days to revisit Guernsey after coming on family holidays decades ago. Even before arrival we were made to feel welcome in the online communication with the hotel. Once we were actually there the whole staff of the hotel could not have been more helpful, or showed more attention to detail. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent, both at breakfast and in the evening. The decor and ambience of the hotel were really enjoyable. Thank you very much for a great holiday.

We had a one night stay here as part of a flying trip in our light aircraft. The hotel was superb in every way. But to cap it all, while we were pre- flighting the plane at the end of our trip, I realised that I had left some clothes in the hotel. I rang and asked if they could put the items in a taxi to the airport. But no, the duty manager drove to the airport with my stuff, and would take no payment! That is what I call service!! Brilliant Thank you

We spent a week at The OGH and had an absolutely phenomenal stay. A great location Central to St Peter Port, with free valet parking, superb dining and a courtyard swimming pool that helps to melt away the stress.
The staff are top class, polite, well mannered, helpful and enthusiastic (Laura our waitress typified these high standards).
The details of the stay are impeccable, from the fresh flowers, to the mint and lime water at the pool, to the elegant cutlery in the restaurant.
If you are a well seasoned traveller I challenge you to find anywhere better.
In summary, classic elegance coupled with platinum service in a great location, that will make your stay unforgettable.

This hotel is really lovely. It has an old world charm about it. We caught the local bus from the airport into St Peter’s Port for £1 and then walked up the hill – not something to do if you have more than one bag each. The staff are very helpful and the meals we had there were lovely. It was great to relax in the bar and read the paper before dinner with the soft background live music just adding ed to the ambience. From the hotel we did some lovely walks and then when tired caught the local bus back.
We hope to return.
