My niece had her wedding reception at the OGH. Amazing service and wonderful ambiance. They literally rolled out the red carpet for the wedding couple. The setting is lovely within walking distance of downtown St. Peter's Port.

If you feel the need to be spoilt and pampered the Old Government House is a great choice.The staff are excellent and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. We hired a car to explore the island and the complementary valet parking was a great help, what a superb hotel.

It is difficult when there is no competition ... and the "OGH" as the locals calls the hotel has no peers on Guernsey. Fortunately, the owners have used this platform to make sure that the hotel is head and shoulders above the rest. The rooms are excellent, staff extremely well trained and friendly. The bar is the best on the island and the restaurant very good too. The location is convenient with everything within walking distance. I would stay nowhere else if I was a tourist on the island.

We've just returned from a 4 day stay in St Pere Port staying at the OGH for a special birthday.
We had a lovely stay, definitely helped by the lovely weather. The OGH is well located, being a 3/5 minute walk from the High Street and seafront, so easy to nip in and out without having to worry about 'trekking back and forth' to the hotel.
The service was of definite note in reception, in the restaurant and around the pool area. The pool area is a real sun trap and the heated pool really comfortable, it is also really good that they provide the towels and have a ready supply of boots soltan sun lotions and after sun. They even lent us towels to take over on a trip to Herm (shell beach).
The room was very well equipped, but a little on the small side, but they did make excellent use of the space available. The bathroom was also very well kitted out with toiletries so no real need to take shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap etc. There were plenty of hangers and draws to organise yourself which not all hotels do (so you sometimes end up leaving underwear in you case).
Our booking included breakfast which was noteworthy. The fresh fruit on offer was amazing at least 8 different sort - the raspberries, prunes, pineapple and yum soaked apricots of particular note. There is also a menu of freshly cooked options. I didn't find the eggs very tasty (in the cooked breakfast or the omelette), but the home made granola was really good (so I could see why it was popular!).

Recently attending a wedding at OGH. Service was absolutely military precision, food was delicious and the staff were extremely attentive. Also met up with friends the next day and, again, different staff but equally high standard of attentiveness and service.

The OGH is a fantastic hotel located within a few minutes walk of the town, sea front and port. It is a lovely old building with all the facilities you could ever need. The breakfast is excellent with everything imaginable available, particularly a very wide variety of fruit and cooked options. What really makes this hotel special are the staff. From the minute we arrived they were all very attentive and helpful.

Three of us called in for tea, We were shown to a wonderfully shaded table on the terrace. We all chose Earl Grey. The care and attention to detail was superb, attentive and charming service and delicious tea. I was pleasantly surprised that our teas together with some cakes and biscuits was a reasonable 7.50 pounds.

Superb breakfasts and dining menus and lovely lounges and gardens for early evening drinks. The outdoor pool was heated to about 28 degrees so taking a dip was always a pleasure and the loungers, sun shades and other facilities were first class.
We will certainly be back!

Outstanding hotel, lovely staff, gorgeous building, position & amenities. Heated outdoor pool, gin & whisky cocktail bar, afternoon tea salon, curry restaurant, brasserie, all highlights. Worth all 5 stars! 5 minutes to all the shops in the pedestrianised shopping area, another 5 minutes to the lovely harbour. Walk back up a slight hill, nothing too strenuous. Try The Catch restaurant on the harbour front, recently opened, booking essential, limited choice but all lovely, great Motown & Soul music in the background. Also The Slaughterhouse bar on the harbour - great little rooftop terrace, courtyard bar and huge space inside for lunch / drinks. The Occupation Museum is a £1 bus journey away on the number 91 bus, and after you've been, you can travel all the way round the island on the same 91 bus for £1 - takes around 90 minutes & allows you to pinpoint which of the lovely west coast bays you want to return to. We chose Vazon Bay, walking past Cobo, Saline & Soif bays before getting the bus back to St Peter Port - a good bracing day out by the sea with white sandy beaches, rock pools and surf cafes. The flowers all over Guernsey, and especially in St Peter Port were amazing and everyone was very welcoming and helpful to tourists.

This hotel and it's staff are just great. The food is of high quality. Rooms are beautifully presented.
The walk to town is a pleasure but hard work coming back unless an experienced walker.
Thank you to the General Manager and his team for a lovely stay. Special mention to Paul from the bar for his cocktails the wife enjoyed them.
