The quality of service at the OGH is just amazing, the staff is friendly and always try to anticipate your needs in a non-intrusive way.
With the booking confirmation I received a form to write our preferences for the room (pillows, need a DVD player etc...). It turned out that my daughter had brought some DVDs and I hadn't requested a DVD player, I called the concierge to ask if we still could have one, not only it was installed in the room 10mn later but the concierge sent us complementary pop corn.
The Brasserie restaurant serves very good food and the bar has an immense choice of fine alcohol.
We will go back.

We have just returned from a weekend at The OGH for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. From the moment we were picked up from the airport, to the moment we dropped off, we were treated with courtesy and kindness. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff, from reception to the young boys who looked after us at the pool were charming and attentive.
We enjoyed wonderful food, from the delicious breakfast to terrific sandwiches in The Crown Tavern and a memorable dinner in The Brasserie.The morning of our Anniversary we had a really special champagne breakfast and as a surprise they even cooked my husband's favorite deviled kidneys.
We were really sad to leave and cannot thank them enough for making our anniversary so memorable.

Just leaving Guernsey and Old Government Hotel where we have enjoyed a luxurious week. Everything about it from start to finish was excellent. The staff are excellent, nothing was too much trouble. The food superb, breakfast a relaxed leisurely affair with an excellent choice of foods. The facilities were fantastic and we enjoyed using the gym, the spa and the pool where the staff were extremely attentive and very helpful. The whole experience is highly recommended.

This hotel is an experience and a real 5 star unlike some which purport to be. The initial welcome was friendly but professional. I liked the way one could easily talk to staff. No member of staff passed us without acknowledging us. Personally, I like that. We were 4 couples and all had great rooms. The hotel is a maze of corridors and due to its age they are several bedrooms up lots of stairs. This was fine for us although I did feel a little sorry for the porters when carrying luggage. If you need a room without stairs to climb, I have been assured by management that there are some reachable by lift so do not let this put you off a great experience.
The facilities at the hotel are great- spa, outdoor swimming pool in beautiful surroundings, several bars and dining areas. During the afternoons it was lovely to see so many people ( not necessarily staying guests) taking afternoon tea. Looked delicious. Breakfast was too. We would most certainly recommend this hotel without reservation and hope one day to return.

A brief visit to Guernsey lead us to the OGH and exactly the break we needed. This is a proper 5 star hotel, luxurious, relaxed and welcoming. The food in both the Curry Room and the Brasserie was exceptional, whilst the fabulaous breakfast kept me happy well into the day. A special mention for Paul on the piano is required for the way he added to the evening atmosphere - thank you Paul.
Thank you too to all the staff who made our stay a memorable one, but certainly not our last at this great hotel.

Service and attention to detail was exceptional, the staff couldn't do enough for us. We were made to feel very welcome. The room was stylish and comfortable, the en-suite bathroom was fitted out to a high specification.

We stayed in a superior room with a sea view which was very luxurious with fab finishing touches. The breakfast was a very high standard and the service from the welcome at the reception to the restaurant and also from housekeeping was exceptional. It was my husbands birthday during our stay...we didn't tell anyone but when we returned to our room there was a small birthday cake waiting for him (the cards gave it away!!).

We came to Guernsey for a short 3 day break. We booked this hotel based on the reviews but did not expect it to necessarily be one of the main parts of the holiday. However, this hotel was so incredible that we very much enjoyed spending time there and taking in its beautiful surroundings. We tend to drop our bags and spend most of our holidays out and about exploring. On this occasion, we did not follow our pattern. Out of the three days we were in Guernsey we spent one whole day in the hotel - the morning and afternoon were spent by the pool and the evening in the garden and restaurant. The hotel, the building, the rooms, the restaurant, the bars, the garden, the pool are all incredible and drenched in history and class. I cannot end this review without saying an incredible thank you to all the staff. They made us feel very special and our visit was all the more incredible for it. We would highly recommend this hotel to everyone we know and we would only stay there on our return trip to Guernsey.

Thanks so much to the Old Government House hotel. Service was so wonderful: I was running the Guernsey Marathon and the room was fit for a Queen! When I When On arrival I got a personal call in my room from the Manager to ask if I had any special requests for the room or breakfast very polite and considerate. Another really lovely touch was a card from the hotel wishing me "Good Luck" in the marathon which I still have here at home ! Very sweet.
I could not believe it when I switched on the TV and it had my name personalised on the screen!! it had lots of movies available including latest releases and the sound and picture were like being at a movie in a big cinema.
The views form the Dining Room were exquisite and each room is full of beautiful regency style furniture. Truly a Royal experience ! There were beautiful quaint little dogs on the cushion covers too and lots of old fashioned sweets very gorgeous and newspapers to help yourself to in the breakfast room.
The breakfast room had everything on offer one could possibly imagine or desire a huge range from masses of cereals to pancakes and different eggs full English and anything one could wish for! There were piles of fresh fruit like blackberries and blueberries which I ate with cream at breakfast so healthy and yummy and what I most wanted.
Beautiful views of the coast from the bedrooms. Very central to St. Peter Port amenities but also a great view from the hill top.
I loved the artwork in the bedrooms, mine were Surrealist Dali style twinkly horses just perfect!!
The bubble bath and special gorgeous spa salts and I soaked in that for a long time.
What a wonderful hotel. Thankyou ! Staff always on hand and keen to help and show you to your room! Room service come round to arrange the room and bring papers in the evening. I felt like I was in an Agatha Christie novel or part of the Royal Family. This and one other hotel are my all time favourites.
