Having over thirty years of international travel and staying in several hundred hotels I found the Old Government House a perfect gem of a hotel with traditional old world charm so rarely found in the modern world.
The service was impeccable and no request to much trouble for the staff.
Food in both restaurants was superb - cooked, presented and served to the highest of standards and a gourmet meal in the Governor's fine dining restaurant is a treat not to be missed - ever!!
The Spa is superbly equipped and can cater to every need.
We shall definitely be staying again.

Spent 3 days at the OGH as part of our Golden Wedding celebrations. The hotel did not disappoint. Red Carnation service at its best.and we felt we were part of a family. The staff were superb and the food first class..
The only problem we had was finding the turning into Ann's Place. It's worth having a look on Google street view before you go. Yes, it is that narrow turn at the traffic lights that you have just driven past!!
If you have stayed in Red Carnation hotels before you will know what to expect. If you haven't, then you are in for real treat at this hotel

We couldn’t fault any aspect of our stay. The staff were almost falling over themselves to help us. Definitely recommend and will return. Next time we will eat in the curry room as it looked beautiful. We had three breakfasts and ordered different ones each time - each one was great, though we preferred the poaching of the eggs to the scrambled eggs. We had room service one evening and food arrived quickly and was hot and delicious.

We have just spent four brilliants nights here at The Old Government House Hotel, from our pick up from Guernsey Airport right through to our departure neither myself or Clare could fault absolutely nothing, well done the OGH team!!! We initially arrived at 4pm on Wednesday 14th March, which coincidentally was also my Birthday, we were quickly and professionally checked in and were then offered a complimentary welcome glass of wine (lovely gesture) Clare my partner had pre booked and pre paid for a superior sea view facing room as a total surprise for my Birthday, our room 108 was just lovely with a large bay window overlooking St Peter Port Harbour and Marina's the room was tastefully decorated with a huge bed, dressing table, large sofa, and two cosy chairs and small circular wooden table, the bathroom was bright and fully marble effect tiled. We had dinner in the hotel Brasserie on our arrival night (full separate report on TA) which was also a nice experience served by very professional staff. We had breakfast the following morning in the same room which again was a very pleasant, we chose eggs benedict and a full English breakfast both were well cooked (poached eggs just perfect!) with plenty of toast, preserves and tea and coffee. On day two when we left the hotel to explore St Peter Port at 9.30am we asked reception to have our room serviced, unexpectedly I had to pop back after just 30 minutes to collect something from the room and it had already been completely serviced, Amazing!!!! Our sleep quality during our four day stay was fantastic and we were both fully relaxed and rested, in fact I personally had some of the best sleeps I have had for a long time, which was surprising as the hotel is based right at the top of the town centre. In conclusion would we recommend this hotel, "Absolutely!!" Would we return "Most Definitely". Finally we would both like to say a massive "THANK YOU" to Andrew the GM and his brilliant team of people for making our stay so Memorable!!!!!!

What a delightful stay we had last week! Huge thanks to the lady on reception who obtained an emergency appointment for me at a dentist! All the staff were friendly and efficient - nothing was any problem. The room was more than comfortable and the location of the hotel was ideal for a stroll into the very lovely town. The valet parking made us smile more than once, when we realised where our car was being parked! Our first time at a five star hotel - I do hope its not our last!

I think some people consider this hotel a little tired, but I don't know why. All public areas and our room were beautiful. Service was absolutely excellent from everyone especially Nelly on reception, Ken in the restaurant, Alessandro... too many to name but all really excellent.
Food: Breakfast menu was huge and I was especially happy with the omelettes. We enjoyed our Liberation dinner and fireworks from the gardens. We especially enjoyed dinner in the Curry Room.
The location is superb - high enough up the hill for great views but also just a few minutes walk from everywhere in the town. We drove around the island from here and when we return, this will be our hotel again.

We really enjoyed our stay - the hotel is a lovely combination of old world charm with sensitively updated decor and crisp, attentive service. All the staff were really friendly and helpful even with our 3 month old baby. Highly recommended and looking forward to our next trip!
The location is ideal being in the middle of town without being near and noise - and provided us with a great base for touring the island by local bus.

Faultless! Hotel, room, staff and food all excellent. The gym was also a good size, with some decent equipment. Lovely heated outdoor pool, which we didn't use, but we sat by it in the sunshine!
Everything has been thought of and the hotel is perfectly positioned for the centre. Our room had a great sea view, including Castle Cornet. Would happily return.

Stayed for four nights. Excellent hotel, the staff could not do enough for you. The hot breakfasts were freshly cooked, the head waiter Ken was a person who gated you with a smile every morning. The room was yes OK but the bathroom was on the small side, room 214. We tried to eat in the restaurant but the night we wanted to go was completely booked. The menu looked excellent.on our arrival our room was not ready but the staff made us welcome and offered us a glass of bubbly.would we stay again, yes.
