My Wife and I have just returned home from spending a week at the Old Government House to celebrate my 50th and our second honeymoon. The hotel is beautiful and the service impeccable on every level. We're very critical of hotels but just couldn't fault this wonderful place. Try out the cocktail bar! Being a fan of fine whiskeys and gins we were like children in a sweet shop. Dinner in the brasserie and breakfast on the terrace is also a must! We would also recommend the afternoon Tea which was delicious. A very big thank you to all the staff who looked after us so very well. This was our first visit to Guernsey which is a lovely island with plenty to do.

Make no mistake this is a superb hotel with a good history of the finest service and possibly the grandest position in St Peter Port, being the former Governors residence. From manager to staff that we met their attention to detail and understanding of guests requirements was second to none. We had a superb suite with harbour view and luxurious comforts. However, the food was, in my view, not up to the expected standard of choice expected of a luxury hotel. The menu did not vary as the days passed by and I became disappointed with the lack of variety. I mentioned this to the management and was told that mid-week, at this time of year, a lot of the guests were corporate and were dining out with clients elsewhere. Therefore the kitchen staff was minimal and the choices smaller. I pointed out that as the week progressed the restaurant was getting almost empty and perhaps efforts should be made to entice 'the corporates' back into the hotel restaurant by offering superb dishes with great choices that they couldn't refuse! My ideas were greeted with understanding and promises of future improvements. I do hope this has been rectified because every other aspect of our stay was relaxed and memorable. The waiters were great and attentive too, but the head chef, I believe, let the side down on our visit, by his lack of interest and culinary ingenuity. Top marks elsewhere though.

The best hotel on the island and we have stayed at most over the years as we visit family. Well worth the money from the beautiful heated pool, spa facilities to the impeccable rooms. Harry's bar was a favourite with its great gin selection. Great breakfast. We did not try the Restuarant but the menu looked interesting South Africa fused with Indian cuisine. We will be back soon.

Excellent hotel. 5 star all the way.
Really good food and comfortable rooms. Very handy for shopping and eating on St Peter Port, and for several meseums and atractions. Would definitely visit again. Try the curry

From the moment the three of us arrived (us and Denis the dog) nothing was too much trouble. We had a beautiful room with a balcony with views of the port and the Fort. There was a dog bed and bowls waiting as well as some treats for him.The amenities were excellent - a beautiful spa, a well equipped gym and an outside swimming pool (although we didn't take a dip as the weather was a bit chilly). The hotel is situated in the heart of the port so main shopping area is just down the street with shops, cafes and bistros, however you don't hear any noise from the hotel. Parking is free (Valet or drop off/ collect yourself) We ate in the main dining room for dinner and breakfast and the food was excellent (the dog was allowed to be with us) Do mention that you have the dog though as then a quiet table can be found to accommodate them being there. This is for the benefit of the other diners as the staff seemed to love the fact he was there and he was fussed over by them all . Dogs are allowed in the bar area and the reading room as well. The staff were second to none and were very helpful on the sights to see and sat down with us with a map to help us plan a trip around the Island. We will definitely be back and would recommend this hotel to anyone - with or without dogs (ours was the only one staying at the time) Thank-you once again to everyone at OGH for the most wonderful time. Cant wait to be back :) Paul, Jessica and of course Denis!

I attended a formal dinner and both the food and service were fantastic. Everyone was served within a couple of minutes. So often at functions for a large number of people I am disappointed by the event. Not the case at the OGH they had everything spot on.
The room was very nice as well. Staff were very attentive. Harry and his team made it a very pleasant evening.

What can I say, stunning hotel, wonderful staff.
We planned on a three night stay but it turned into four due to the weather.
Hotel extended our stay with no problem.
Great bars and restaurants.
The out side pool was lovely and warm and very useable.
My only gripe was that the shower in our room was very small given the size of the bathroom.
Looking forward to returning in the near future.

We came with friends for a w/end away, we stayed in the Hermes Suite, our friends had smaller rooms but they said they where very good as well, the suite was lovely with great views, we dined in the Brasserie one night and the food and staff where excellent. Breakfast was very good again the staff where great and the food good with lots of options. the Bar Staff very attentive. The Pick and Mix jars went down well as well. The whole hotel clean and tidy, Afternoon Tea was very nice also. Would highly recommend this hotel.

This was my third visit to the OGH and my husband's first.
There are no superlatives enough to describe just wonderful this hotel is. Everything about it is outstanding, the rooms, the food, the ambience. But what really makes it stand out is the staff and the service. They are so professional and yet friendly and welcoming also. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble.
I am already planning my fourth trip as I can only do without the OGH for so long. It has, quite simply, got under my skin!
