I use they hotel regularly for business; it works well. The food (breakfast) is excellent, the staff pleasant and the rooms - if not the largest in the business - are very well appointed and full of charm. I like the place because it combines a sense of history with the practicalities of 21st business life.

I travelled back to Guernsey for a long overdue reunion with my very good friends. I decided to book my friend and I into OGH as this place held a certain nostalgia for us. Upon arrival the room was not ready, it was mid morning so I was surprised, but I took a seat as requested, I was pretty much the only patron and no one came to offer me a drink or give me an update on the room. I had to chase several times for either, one of the biggest challenges was to find someone.
The room was ok but not the standard I would expect. I used the spa which was good, the lady who did my treatments was very good. The service we had from their long serving head of customer relations was excellent as we always remembered. It was tennerfest (an excellent time to sample the delicious fayre that the island has to offer) the menu offered by OGH was rather below par, particularly when compared to the other exciting menus on offer across the island.
I must admit that breakfast was excellent and some of the staff, those who typically had worked on cruise ships prior to taking the position, performed well.
The location is really great, being a short walk from the hotel into St Peter Port. The grounds are beautiful and on a summers day sitting outside is simply marvellous.
Red Carnation have really done nothing to enhance this property and if anything the soul of the place seems to have been a casualty of their renovation. I'll be returning to Guernsey but sadly not to the OGH.

Stayed here with family visiting Guernsey for a reunion. Hotel is reasonable value : I've stayed in worse places charging more. Restaurant serves decent steak, and the breakfast is very good. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout.
Pool arrangements are a little strange - changing rooms the opposite direction to the pool - but the pool itself was quiet.
Overall we had a relaxing stay - try & get a room on the 2nd floor away from the reception end - as these have nice balconies, 4th floor balconies are really tiny.
Slightly too much furniture in the room, though, if an extra bed is required as it was for us.

This hotel is located just a mile outside of the port and sits in its own well maintained gardens. The hotel offers a vast breakfast and great selection activities from swimming, golf, crazy golf and tennis.
The rooms are slightly dated but perfectly acceptable and the staff are friendly in the main.
The hotel has one weak point which is a chronic noise issue during the day, this is caused by building work or constant gardening activities.

Okay, the weather was great so that always helps, but this was a perfect long weekend break. From the moment we checked in the staff could not have been more helpful. Our room was great as were the gardens the golf course and the food. Would recommend to anyone. 5 stars😎

I have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions (for work) and have always been a little bemused by some of the positive reviews on this site. The hotel is fine, the staff friendly, but the rooms are tired (executive) and in need of refurbishment (non executive). The restaurant and bar offer basic meals at a premium price compared to some of the excellent restaurants in town.
There is a mobile phone mast on the roof and no evidence of shielding (on the roof) for guest and staff safety. Information can be provided by the hotel where the emissions levels (RF) were measured in the hotel grounds only, however, more revealing (and possibly worrying) would have been an indication of exposure levels in rooms directly under the phone mast or indeed at the front reception desk and manager's office (for staff safety). Whatever your views on mobile phone masts (and safety or not) this is worth considering if you have young children, are pregnant or a former/current cancer sufferer.
The main town is only 30 minutes away by foot or a short taxi ride (less than £10), which is very convenient.
There is a supermarket (Waitrose?) about 2 minutes walk from the main hotel.

Tranquil spot, providing comfortable rooms and a multitude of facilities. Play ground for the kids, golf course, tennis, nice walks through the grounds. Well equipped gym, nice pool and spa. Spa and salon. Decent breakfast.
Stayed here while my husband was on business - very relaxing!

Stayed there last week for 7 nights. The facilities are excellent and the staff are very professional and helpful. Stayed half board so ate in the Victor Hugo restaurant which was also very nice. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.
Good location for access into St Peter Port town, we walked it there and back a few times and it took us around half an hour.
I recommend staying at this hotel when visiting Guernsey.

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the St Pierre Park. Can easily take a bus from the airport to St Peter Port and then number 41 or 42 which takes you just outside the hotel. We had transfers booked however which does make life easier. Hotel was very clean with most obliging staff who can't do enough for you. In particular thanks to Ilenia who was a great waitress and Tim on the evening reception shift who was a delight, very obliging and helpful. The rooms are clean and well appointed with the expected facilities and in our case a balcony over looking the gardens. Our only point of concern was the loud music in our rooms from two events taking place. However the manager did warn us and the music stopped by 11pm. Possibly too late for some even so. The pool was great and we could swim proper lengths. The sauna, sream room and outdoor jacuzzi were great additions. Changing rooms were spacious and clean.Spa treatments are available but we didnt indulge. Breakfast was extensive with a huge choice. The first night we were lucky to dine in the Victor Hugo restaurant where our choice was absolutely delicious. We were ' entertained' however by a quarrelsome group who were 'celebrating' a member of staff's leaving do!! Nevertheless compliments to the chef for the superb food. There are several restaurants and cafes in the complex, lovely gardens, a stream, a family of ducks, a childrens play area and a golf course. We were completly happy that the hotel was slightly out of town and enjoyed the £1 bus rides in. We took advantage of a round the island bus trip, still for £1 as long as you didn't get off the bus. A lovely coast line! St Peter Port is pretty and we also took the bus to see the German occupation museum and the grim German underground hospital. All worth seeing. A highlight was a day trip to Sark. We recommend it. Buy tickets at the harbour. Thank you St Pierre for a very pleasant stay.
