This was everything you want a five-star hotel to be. Everything was done in the right way without you having to ask. How often does that happen these days? Not very! The hotel is in a great location in St Peter's Port. It is done up in a homely, but stylish way with pleasant communal area, garden and pool. We stayed in a King Double, which will a decent sized room with space for our ten month old daughter's travel cot (which the hotel set up and provided for us by prior request as well as providing a baby towel and a complimentary teddy bear for her, which was lovely). The staff really went the extra mile wherever possible. We we never made to feel a nuisance and our needs were met without fuss (e.g. a fridge was brought up so we could put our baby's milk in it within 3 minutes of asking!). Breakfast was delicious and after we had eaten, with our baby in her highchair loving all the fresh fruit, her special bowl and spoon were taken away and cleaned for us, which was really considerate of staff. Gorgeously comfortable bed, great shower with plenty of L'Occitane goodies in the bathroom, a decent TV, excellent concierge service and valet parking. All just great, but rounded off with a delicious afternoon tea on our last day, taken in the gardens with the last of the September sunshine.

We organised with the OGH to hold our evening function with them. They were extremely professional and made everything easy and straight forward for us.
On the night, the staff and food were excellent.
We had an amazing night thanks to all involved with our event.
Thank you Andrew, Samatha and all your staff!

Excellent service, wonderful food and overall an excellent break. If you have to find fault, the room was a little disappointing. You have to accept that it is not a " standard box" hotel and most of the rooms are individual. Staff are very attentive without being overpowering and condescending.

We stayed here for four days. Our room was just perfect with a beautiful view over St. Peter Port Harbour. We found it difficult to draw ourselves away from watching the ever changing actvities going on in the harbour. The room had every comfort and amenity that one would expect from a high end hotel. The staff were such friendly and helpful people many of whom were clearly passionate about providing the best service that they could for us, for example going out of their way to help us find local walks many of which they had tried themselves. The two resteraunts in the hotel were again exceptional, top class cuisine served by organised and very efficient staff. This hotel is well worth a visit.

I spent my birthday here for a relaxing weekend away. The hotel is in the ideal location near to the town in a very scenic spot. Our room was perfect with stunning views out to sea, everything is very luxurious with traditional charm. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful - it really makes a difference, thank you to Andrew and his team. We ate in the curry restaurant one evening, which I can highly recommend. All the food is of a very high quality. The hotel has a wonderful ambience and is very popular for events and afternoon teas. Please do not hesitate to book this hotel for your next trip to Guernsey, you will love it! We can't wait to go back.

A stay here is a very nice experience. On arrival, the reception desk were friendly and informative offering iced lemon water which was much appreciated after our long ferry trip. Our car was taken and parked for us due to the restricted parking facilities. However, we did not use our car for the duration as the bus service in Guernsey is very good and cheap. Our room was compact but had everything for our comfort although we could have done with another chair. The bathroom was very nice with good quality toiletries and super fluffy white towels. Also had automatic blue lighting for that visit to the bathroom at night! The room was serviced twice daily and everything was very clean. Breakfast was very nice with a good selection of fruits, juices and yoghurts. There is a charge for a "healthy" breakfast but there is a nice selection of other cooked food included in the price. I tried the crushed avocado one morning and quinoa another as this is not something you have everyday for breakfast. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We ate one evening in their restaurant. The food was nicely cooked and presented. The cost for the two of us was £97 for a starter , main, a glass of wine each, coffee and I had a liqueur so not cheap. However, as we had a £50 meal allowance, this brought it down to an acceptable level and it was nice to dress up for an evening. There are nice gardens and an outdoor swimming pool. There is no indoor pool which is a shame. Access on foot to OGH is uphill so might present some difficulty for someone with walking problems but otherwise in a good position. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who go out of their way to help and we would stay here again.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this hotel, however there is little that is needed !!
Accommodation and dining both excellent.
Spa available (but not used by me).
Go for the rooms with a view over the harbour towards Herm (worth a trip in itself).
Central for all local services.
Wouldn't hesitate to go again.

I stayed at this hotel due to a mix-up whereby the hotel I usually stay at decided to shut for four months and not tell me! None the less, they paid for me to stay at OGH so the initial anger dissipated quickly!
I cannot stress how friendly the staff are from the ladies on reception, Andrew the concierge, the bar staff and restaurant staff.
The best Manhattan cocktail I’ve had in a long while and the food was really, really good. Aside from this, a fantastic range of gins and brandies (my personal favourite).
To see a hotel so busy in the off-season that, to me, speaks volumes.
Would thoroughly recommend staying at OGH if you have the chance to spend a few days in Guernsey, whatever the time of year.

Took my mother for birthday Sunday lunch, we really enjoyed the live Jazz, not too intrusive excellent band. Lunch was delicious, as I would expect at £35 per head, wine and drinks prices are definitely 5 star! The sevice wasn't the best but all the staff friendly and beautifully smart, which was more than could be said for some of the guests! What a shame there is no dress code, it is such a beautiful hotel.
