In May 2017, Richard P said about Old Government House Hotel & Spa
A group of eight of us stayed for four days and were all delighted with the choice. From the start a very warm and friendly welcome from Andy and the reception team.Breakfast every morning in the Brasserie was a delight with an extensive menu to enjoy. Actually managed to relax and swim in the pool on one of the days but were also able to sit out in the outside areas which were very pleasant. Various trips organised with the help of Zalan, the excellent and knowledgeable concierge.
Visited the spa and wife and I both had treatments which were excellent.One of the highlights was a great meal in the spectacular old Governor's room with a mixture of curries and seafood.
All the staff were always friendly and helpful and the service throughout was very good. . The hotel is very well situated to explore St Peter Port and further afield.
If there were any criticisms, the rooms ( even with an upgrade ) were not the largest and the air condition seemed to struggle to keep the temperature down but maybe a small price to pay for such an historic building .

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 6 nights in the Sark suite two weeks ago. The staff were all friendly and efficient, the room beautifully appointed and the food excellent. There were a number of bars and sitting spaces to have lunch or pre dinner drinks-really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful hotel, the food was excellent though we only had breakfast and lunch there. The cocktail list and the gin list are well worth a visit!
The staff were friendly, particularly in the restaurant and the bar. The rooms were small but had everything you needed. Nice toiletries!!
Very comfy bed. It felt as if the room had been serviced too quickly on our first morning, probably because we were changing to go to a wedding when they arrived at midday to do it so they had to come back later (reception staff at the hotel did know the time of the wedding, so maybe this was not communicated to the other staff).
The only down-side were the starchy receptionists, on arrival the girl was really good and friendly but the staff when we left could not cope with the amount of guests needing attention (only 3 families), they were abrupt, forgot to take off our food credit and got in the most dreadful muddle booking a taxi for us to our friends house. They need to remember the customer is usually right and if we say we know how to get somewhere we are telling the truth....and they do not have to insist on a postcode and full directions before they book the cab and a smile or two would not go amiss.
Saying that I would definitely stay again. We had a beautiful view from our room and felt very relaxed there.

Stayed here in early May 2017 for a long weekend. We had a room with a balcony and view of the Port. Not cheap, but a real treat. Food was great and we were very well looked after by Jozef in the restaurants, and by Zalan, the young concierge who took care of our bikes. The hotel had warned us that there would be noise on Saturday night due to an event. However, they kindly agreed to offer us a late check out and breakfast in our room to compensate. As it turned out, the noise was not bad at all and we slept very well every night. The heated outdoor pool is a great asset - so much nicer than swimming indoors. We look forward to returning.

We stayed 3 nights in May with friends. A nice welcome with excellent reception when entering the hotel. We had a balcony room with view over the harbour.The hotel and the rooms are old, but in high standard concerning bathroom and aircondition. A good selection of tea and coffee in the room. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The fresh berries in the breakfast buffet are fantastic together with the yogourt.

There is no better place to stay than here. Everything you could ask for from the best beds in the world to super service. How many hotels have you visited recently where they actually take your order for breakfast?
It will cost you a few quid more than other hotels in the area but you won't be disappointed.

This hotel certainly lives up to its 5 star category and is conveniently situated near the town. Excellent in every way from food/drink to all the hotel staff helping with your every need. Very attentive and helpful. Couldn't ask for more.

We enjoyed very minute of our stay. From the moment we walked in, Andiswa (Andi) the front of house manager made us feel so welcome. That feeling carried on for the whole of our visit - the staff were terrific and everything ran calmly and smoothly. We will definitely be coming back.
