A weekend wedding anniversary trip with friends. Beautiful room with great view. Staff were attentive and very helpful. Nothing too much trouble and that goes for the reception, concierge, restaurant, spa or room staff. It was across the board. The breakfasts were stunning and dinner exceptional. Lovely old world hotel with modern twists. Comfortable lounges and bar areas for a drink or afternoon tea or an after dinner coffee. Always a staff member on hand to offer assistance.
Very convenient for shops although a little climb on way back.
There is a car park and it is very near to the ferry port. Walking distance but as I said a shirt climb at the end.
There are disabled facilities and several lifts to get to all areas.
There is a great spa with lots of lovely treatments. A large gym and spa baths. No indoor pool though. Lovely one outside and a shame not available in Winter months. A temporary roof perhaps for all year use!
I rate this establishment as one of the nicest I have been to for sometime. We will be coming back.

Spent 4 nights in the OGH to celebrate my wifes birthday. Booked a king size bedroom with sea view and balcony (room 111). Room overlooked the harbour with a view towards Herm and Sark. Enjoyed our stay at the OGH and would like to come back here. With breakfast included in the price it set us up for the rest of the day. Staff at this hotel are wonderful and can't do enough for you. Highly recommended hotel.

My friend and I recently visited the Old Government Hotel and Spa for Afternoon Tea. We were extremely impressed by the attention to detail and service afforded to us. We were served in the Crown Club which has amazing décor and atmosphere. The food was second to none and definitely the best sandwiches ever (would certainly recommend the chicken mayo coated in almond slivers). The Bouchard Finlaysan wine complimented the food (Hannibal and Walker Bay was delicious) and we're looking forward to returning to the hotel just to sample the wines. We would like to give a special mention to Luis who was extremely professional and gave us a very friendly and knowledgeable service. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and topped off the day with specialist gins served by the very attentive Catalin in the bar. Signing up for the 'Gin Passport' was also a highlight and we cant wait to come back and collect the remaining stamps (although that might mean more than one trip as there are 35 of 37 still to sample). We are looking forward to booking the 'Wine Tasting' session next time we visit. Thank you so much to Gareth for making the arrangements and to his team for giving us such a special experience. Sandra and Diane.

Elizabeth and I stayed at the OGH last night and had a superb experience
On arrival the concierge accompanied me to their car park to show me where to leave my vehicle, we were then given a sparkling wine welcome drink and booked into the hotel
The bedroom was to a very high standard and simply luxurious
Nothing was too much trouble and staff very courteous
Restaurant and bar very good and food delicious
A very good stay and reasonable cost for the luxury provided

My husband and I were impressed as soon as we arrived at hotel with our hired car quickly taken away and stored in car park. We were then offered a glass of wine and then shown to our twin bedded room with sea view, very impressed. We were then shown round the rest of the luxurious hotel. Fruit and chocolates were in the room and offered champagne to have with our afternoon tea which we had booked for my birthday.
The afternoon tea was delicious, served with the champagne. The service for breakfast, lunch and evening meals was exceptional everyone was so attentive and after the first evening we were referred to by name.

The hotel building is rather dated, but that only adds to it's charm. We stayed in room 108, with large bay windows, from which we could see all of the other channel islands and harbour, quite a view to wake up to! The room was nicely decorated and clean, with plenty of literature regarding Guernsey and tourist attractions. Everything required for a comfortable stay was supplied, we didn't tackle the gym, but the spa and sauna was great. We ate at the hotel, and very good the food was, we could not fault it, nor could we fault the staff, from the restaurant staff to the front desk, all were attentive, polite and helpful. No negative points whatsoever regarding the hotel and staff, a most enjoyable stay, we shall return!

I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel & staff. We visited Guernsey for the weekend with our children (4&5) and from the moment we checked in we were looked after so well. The children had their own small dressing gowns in the room and their own Oggie Bear on their beds. The evening turndown was a complete treat which the children called the hotel fairies! Breakfast was great and so much choice which kept us all happy and set for the day ahead. The girls and I had afternoon tea on Sunday in the cosy lounge whilst my husband tried the gin tasting in the Crown Club, both were fantastic and highly recommended.
The seaview rooms with balcony were ideal as gave us some outside space whilst being protected from the autumn weather. The location was also ideal with just a short walk into town.
Would love to go back to Guernsey and The OGH.

The hotel is decorate lovely and the rooms we saw were all beautifully furnished, albeit small. We were upgraded to a deluxe room and so relieved as the rooms we had were still very small so no idea what the standard room size was ! The service of the staff and the quality of food was very good though and would definately recommend staying here.

There is a real sense of history here, you can imagine the German officers being billeted here. The decor is very sumptuous, I really liked the padded wallpaper with borders on each panel, I appreciate craftsmanship. 5 star hotels can seem impersonal and corporate but that is not the case here, the staff were friendly and welcoming. We took advantage of the Tennerfest offer of 3 courses for £17.50 during October. The standard of food and presentation matches some of the Michellin recommended restaurants we have tried in London. The spa is lovely and the staff are really helpful. The hotel is well positioned in St Peter's Port. The rooms are fairly small but it is in the middle of town. The car park is quite small. We got blocked in and it took 20 minutes to find the driver, not great if you have to catch a plane. You are asked to leave your keys at reception so maybe it was a one off occurrence. We had a lovely short break and I would return.
