The OGH is a fantastic hotel right out of the top drawer. The staff are always polite and friendly. So much so that on a visit to the hotel today (Shrove Tuesday) to set up for a trade show. Ken and the ever youthful Harry dished up some freshly made pancakes for myself and my colleague before we left. In my experience it doesn't matter if you are a guest or someone in to do some work the welcome is always warm and friendly. I always leave feeling appreciated. Thank you Harry, Ken and all the staff at The OGH. (Unfortunately my tripadvisor android. App will not allow me to add a photo.)

I used to live in Guernsey and my second child was born there. We moved when she was one year old and we haven't been back. So I decided to take her to her birth place on a mum and daughter trip. The OGH is a fantastic hotel and the staff could not do any more in terms of service and making my daughter feel very special. I knew of the hotel from living there but it really is worthy of the 5 stars.
The food at both breakfast and dinner was exceptional. They cater for every taste and the menu's themselves are exciting. I don't say that very often!
The spa is immaculate and the staff all charming. I highly recommend the cream tea in the afternoon after the spa session. Bliss.

A superb Sunday lunch with my family with great views across to Herm and Sark. They have a new executive chef and he is clearly pushing the boat out.
They food was just perfect , we had several dishes between us. Sea Bass, Roast Beef and Duck all was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly. I had Roast Beef which I can honestly say was one of the best Sunday Lunches I have had in a restaurant.
Service was attentive and the tables are a good size (nothing worse than being squeezed on a table).
The cheese selection was fantastic and the starter or Artichoke soup was just excellent.
If you have not been here for I while ,I really strongly recommend you go.
Well done OGH,5 stars :) BTW.free wif-fi is a good speed!

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times and love, love, love it! If you are looking for a charming yet luxurious place to stay when visiting this beautiful island, look no further. Good food, amazing service and a perfect location. Could not recommend highly enough, we will definitely be back. Hopefully for the next new year gala.

Our stay at the DofR was fabulous... catering and front of house were superb, Arron (hope I've spelt his name correctly) was brilliant, friendly, welcoming and the best reception/ concierge we have come across for a while.
The evening meal we had was outstanding ... we had a very similar meal at Le Nautique which was comparable on price however your waiting staff and chefs produced fabulous food and a relaxed atmosphere. You out shone them in every way.
You should be top of the list for Guernsey as far as we are concerned and won't hesitate to stay again.

I have to agree with the others this is a First Class Hotel, faultless staff effortlessly helpful.Always willing to assist and very helpful on places to visit and how to get there.The only downside is the Hotel is at the top of quite a steep hill. A nice park on the way up and down to break the journey but if you are not very good at walking I would suggest you use a taxi for the five minute journey.The diningroom is well worth booking for evening meals reasonably priced for Guernsey

This is a hotel that goes the extra mile. I was in Guernsey for a 36 mile race and the hotel could not have been more helpful. They provided a Good Luck card and cake the day we arrived and then after I had run the race they provided complimentary soft drinks, fruit and ice cream. The rooms were really good - only downside was we had three steps in our room from the bed area to the bathroom - after 16 miles of hills these were a challenge! They provide a fridge, cold milk on request and the room was well cleaned. All the staff were friendly and could not have been more helpful. The breakfast was good - although it was included, I am not sure I would have paid for it separately as it was expensive. The w-fi was a little slow - but this might be an island problem.

Tonight is my third night here. I don't usually write a review whilst I'm still on holiday. The hotel is lovely and the breakfast is very good. But what can I say about the staff? I've stayed in loads of hotels and the staff here might just possibly be the best I've ever met. Friendly and attentive, they help to create a special atmosphere at the hotel. I've really enjoyed staying here. I hope the boss and the mangers appreciate the staff they've got!

This is a well run hotel that was spotlessly clean with friendly and efficient staff. For me it was a little bit too old fashioned and fussy but that's a personal thing and not the fault of the hotel.
Good things:
Excellent breakfast
Great bathroom with robes and slippers
Quiet location for a town
Spotlessly clean
Efficient and friendly staff
Bad:
A 20 minute steep walk uphill from town
Very limited parking - 5 spaces
Air con unit placed in such a way that it made you cold in bed
Bar meal choice very limited
Wifi was awful
Bedroom a little small for the price and cluttered
Overall still a good hotel but would not return.
