Nice enough hotel, but don't truly feel its value for money. The box room was nicely kitted out, sky sports was a bonus. That said, it was a box room. I've never swung a cat before but if the opportunity should have came about, I wouldn't have been able too. The bathroom was also ridiculously tiny, which complimented the bedroom well. Leopard bar was nice, apart from witnessing a bit of belittling by members of staff to others, I'd recommend it for a cocktail.

My friend and I had the two course lunch on the Tennerfest Menu.
Only two tables in the restaurant so service was good. Sat in the conservatory part lovely and light and it was a sunny day.
Food was excellent in presentation and value for money. Particularly loved the Cape pickled fish started followed by rabbit paperdelle pasta and Winter vegetables.
Was a good venue where you could relax and catch up.

An excellent hotel we were very well looked after.The staff are friendly and operate to the highest standards. The hotel is extremely clean and tidy.
Unfortunately during out stay we had a family bereavement and we could not get off the island due to high winds as we came over on the ferry with the car. The staff and duty managers could not help us enough and were extremely sympathetic and attended to all our needs, and acted above and beyond their call of duty. The duty manager through tremendous thought and effort managed to get us an earlier ferry so we could get back home to address the sad loss for which we were eternally greatful. We could not thank them enough.

We went as a group to this hotel for the annual Post Office Christmas Meal. The food was excellent, the staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is spotless, and we all had a great time. Can't recommend this hotel enough.

Sitauted in a quiet road only five minutes walk from the main town and close to Candie Gardens and Cambridge Park, the two main green areas around. It's the best location in St Peter Port. Breakfast really good. Staff very helpful. Room luxurious. Bed great. Afternoon tea really worth trying in the large conservatory. Garreth, Helen and Hilario run a really great place with the smiling Olga and Orlando in the bar and restaurant. Reception staff helpful too. Best place to stay for location and value compared to other high end hotels of similar standard.

We stayed here for five days recently and very much enjoyed our stay at the hotel and the islands in general. This was helped by the excellent weather we had. The hotel is very unique and somewhat quirky, but we really enjoyed it. The room was very comfortable, the food excellent both at breakfast and on the couple of occasions we had lunch and an evening meal. The only minor gripe we had was that there were a couple of late functions on the Friday and Saturday nights, which were a bit noisy, but it did not spoil our stay.
Special mention must go to the staff, who could all be named as providing a courteous but unobtrusive and excellent service from reception throughout the hotel. We particularly enjoyed the chats we had with Andrew and Paul who both set us at ease and made our stay enjoyable.
We would certainly come back again and hope to do so soon.

Just returned from another very successful trip to OGH. We have been coming here since 1992. Not every year, but there has never been an instance where we were disappointed. That's itself says a great deal about the staff at OGH.
It could probably do with some updating at some point, but we would rather a hotel be little tired and have a great welcome and service.
From the moment you walk into reception, most times Harry the Guest Manager, being there to give you a warm welcome, to the receptionists who are cheerful and helpful.
The pool is like being in a warm bath, so even on cooler days it's great to be in there. We could not think of anything we did not enjoy there.
A special mention to Ken who manages the restaurants perfectly. He is so good at customer service. These things really matter, and sadly there are many hotels that do not have good management to train staff correctly. We so love Guernsey, and can't wait to return. Ŵe can even take our two dogs. They would not be banished to the rooms but can enjoy the hotel. Of course they would behave as well as children would!
On our return, we received a postcard from OGH, welcoming us back. Yes we will be back.

An exceptionally well-appointed hotel in the centre of St Peter Port, within comfortable walking distance of all the amenities offered by the town.
The facilities and service are very high quality. The room we occupied was very comfortable, light and airy and had a panoramic view of St Peter Port harbour.
The catering is excellent: afternoon tea in the garden is generous and well presented; a wide choice of dishes, all well prepared and presented, is available for evening dinner, and breakfast is very satisfying.
Stellar performance by all the staff who are very helpful and very knowledgeable.
The OGH (as this hotel has become known) is truly worthy of its five star rating - note this is the only hotel in Guernsey to have been awarded this accolade.
