This is one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in. Not only is the property beautiful and commanding an excellent position next to St Peters Port, but the service was first rate. I was lucky enough to stay here for a week on a business trip and was given my own residence on the opposite side of the road to the hotel. The residence was extremely spacious and catered for my every need ( an iron and ironing board was provided on request and remained with me all week). The double bed was grand and very comfortable, with my own satellite television box provided in the room. Internet connection was fast and efficient and provided by my own router again in the room. The bathroom was very well equipped with everything I might have needed including nice bath salts for a relaxing soak after a hard day. Under floor heating and very modern classic style finished the look and again gave a very elegant feel. There was more than ample storage for all my clothes, it was like a home away from home! Every morning my desired newspaper was delivered to the door and freshly ground OGH blend coffee was provided for a good strong cup of coffee to wake me up! Breakfast in the dining room was both a self service for continental style and a la carte for cooked. The quality of the produce was excellent and local and to get freshly made hollandaise sauce with my eggs benedict was a welcome surprise. Service from the staff was excellent, they were efficient in getting you seated, taking your order and making sure your breakfast was delivered in a timely manner. I also had the pleasure of eating at the restaurant for an evening meal. Again the service was impeccable and the food outstanding. The fillet of beef with bone marrow jus was one of the best meals I ate that week, and the deconstructed rasberry and rhubarb trifle was both clever and very tasty, my compliments to the chef.
I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the staff were amazing, very attentive and professional. My only negative comment would be at the price of the room. Had my company not have been paying, I think the cost for the room would have been too high and would have put me off booking.

On a recommendation from a friend my partner and I changed bookings and stayed at the OGH for six nights. The location, sitting above St Peter Port Harbour looking out to sea was delightful, moreover, very convenient for walking around the streets of this old town. The hotel itself suggested times past but in a traditional way never old fashioned. The service throughout the hotel reflected the inherent values of this establishment, smiley, helpful, professional, with just the right touch of the personal. The staff were never intrusive but always there when needed - a difficult balance to achieve. The food, especially the fish was excellent and once again the staff in the restaurant were always 'on the spot '. A special mention to the most charming of receptionists who 'fronted' most of our stay. If you could bottle her approach I do not know many businesses who would not purchase it - a real asset.
If you wish a break away from the stress of modern life and be extremely, extremely well looked after look no further - The very best of stays.

My wife and I came back to the St Pierre Park for the third time in three years. Just as the last times we had an enjoyable stay. The rooms are large and all have balconies although it was much too cold to take advantage of them. The bed is a king size and I have never seen so many pillows in a hotel before. We found it very comfortable.
We found the staff all very welcoming and friendly. Bar staff and those in the restaurant were very efficient.
The food at breakfast was of good quality and there was a great choice. We did find it not very hot at times. We had bar meals that were good. We didn't particularly like the Eton mess - We have had better.
Renovations were taking place in the hotel but it did not spoil our stay.
The one down side of this hotel is its location . It is a 25 to 30 minute walk into St Peters Port. However there are buses that go to the centre and they are fairly frequent. Taxis are plentiful but I find them quite expensive in Guernsey,
Would we stay here again? - Probably, is a nice hotel with welcoming staff and (once the renovations are completed) good facilities that include a Spa and a swimming pool.

In March 2016, Natalie S said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Booked for a long weekend just the two of us,, found the room average nothing special nothing outstanding and certainly not worth the 4* rating
Housekeeping was very good and staff friendly
Breakfast was not buffet each day as advertised probably due to not enough people being there.
Booked for a couples spa treatment but wasn't told that the whole spa area was closed and all treatments are being completed in makeshift separate bedrooms ,,,, not quiet the pamper session we envisaged
The whole hotel is in need of serious cleaning and bringing up to date very 80's

This is my second time I am staying in St. Pierre Park Hotel for business travels. The staff is friendly and helpful, I don't know why other had different experience. Check-in, check-out is fast. My first room was a bit noisy but got another one in less than 5 minutes.
Breakfast is superb, restaurant has its standard quality (try the signature burger!). The waiter made a small mistake (forgot to tell that fries were included so I ordered extra side) and immediately compensated by offering a coffee at no charge - this doesn't always happen at 5 star hotels either.
Did not try the spa - this time it was undergoing renovation, but the staff offered me vouchers for another location nearby.

My husband and I booked an Easter weekend away at St Pierre Park hotel and was very pleased with our overall stay.
The staff were friendly and professional (particularly a young Romanian lady serving us in the bar area - sorry I didn't catch her name). The room was clean and spacious with a large balcony area and outdoor seating. The bed was large enough that we could both sleep in a star position!
The breakfast buffet had plenty to choose from and my husband ordered American style pancakes one morning from the menu and was very pleased.
On Easter Sunday we booked an afternoon tea with the hotel and had a fab selection of sandwiches, scones, hot cross buns and miniature cakes. Well worth the £15 pp.
The hotel is about a 20-25 minute walk into the main town (St Peter Port) with bus routes that run along the main road also.
Sadly they are renovating the swimming pool area at the moment (which I was aware of before booking) but I look forward to visiting again when these facilities are back up and running.

Enjoyed a quick break at this hotel. Rooms delightful with huge double beds. Toiletries provided and tea/coffee facilities in room. Hairdryer and iron available as well as a safe. Room service available too.
Nighttime turn down service.
Concierge and Reception staff very helpful with queries and directions.
Good size car park, taxis have to be ordered but we hired a car, you really need one to get around easily.
Very clean rooms, quality furniture too.
The spa was closed for refurbishment but a temporary facility was available at a nearby hotel. I had a massage though in a temporary room which was good and reasonably priced. There is an extensive menu of spa options and when it opens in May it should be fab.
Overall an enjoyable stay and I would return.

Stayed for a few days break here with my husband in March, have to say from the moment we arrived everything was perfect, staff were pleasant, room was superb,very good size, good size bathroom with both bath with shower over,both very clean and tidy. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the food was perfect. Even though the hotel was under going some re development of its leisure facilities, it did not impact at all on our stay. Was nice to return to our room in the evening to find our curtains drawn and the bed turned back, and the lamp on and the room was warm, as the evenings were a bit chilly. Will definitely return at some point.

Having stayed at the one of the sister hotels of the group (L'Horizon) I would say I was generally disappointed with this hotel.
While it was generally clean and to a 3* standard, I guess I had higher expectations. If you are into golf, and don't mind eating in the dog house pub round the corner every night then this hotel is fine. Rooms are comfortable and have the usual things like free wifi etc as standard.
I felt the hotel is mainly used for functions by local residents of business visitors, I really feel like it lacked any sort of friendly atmosphere and generally the staff where not to interested in helping out visiting tourists.
