I think for the 5th or possibly 6th year running. A long weekend of R&R for wife and self. It is difficult to add to my report at this time last year, save that it was then in the sunshine of mid-August and now rain in late September this year prevented lazing by the pool. After visiting so often there is frankly not a lot left to do in Guernsey, but the hotel offers above all warmth of welcome treating us as old friends - always gratifying . . . The food and service remains impeccable under the command (definitely the right word) of Maitre D Ken (we wish him a well earned rest in his native Mauritius), though it would be good to see the menu changed more frequently. The bedroom we try and get each time has a sea view and lovely 7 foot bed. The guest computer is easy to operate. All in all - the perfect spot. Thank you once again OGH.

Stayed here on a week's business trip. First you have to realise (or get used to) the fact that Guernsey is small, so its buildings are too, and its hotels will have small rooms.
Rooms OK if not a little pokey. Bed comfy, strange combination of light switch settings to get alternate lights on or off. Decent TV options. Nice touch to have both still and sparkling water provided for free. Bathroom small and shower cubicle tiny. You had better not be bigger than 5-10 and 160 pounds.
Only had breakfast food, but that was excellent, especially the Eggs Benedict and the Eggs Royale (as Benedict but salmon instead of ham). But they need to go on a course to learn how to make tea and coffee; it was poor. Afternoon tea (as a meal) looked especially good, though I did not partake.
I would give the staff 11 out of 10 however. They were courteous, efficient, and prompt in all matters, solving any issue I had.

My hubby and I travelled to Guernsey and stayed at TOGH in September 17 for our Anniversary. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with 1st class service from all. From a lovely glass of bubbly in the reception when we arrived, excellent cleanliness of the room, fab facilities, wonderful restaurant where the maitre'd remembered our names (nice touch), lovely lounges and areas to relax to the warm swimming pool - we had the best time. The weather was wonderful and we walked many miles each day and the hotel was a fantastic place to come back to each evening and relax. The fabulous breakfasts set us up for each day. We will definitely be back.

The OGH is a Luxurious hotel boasting periodic features throughout you will feel as though you have taken a Step back in time. The guest rooms are very comfortable including all areas in the hotel. The brassiere Restaurant provides a great dining experience for guests with a great menu selection. Lovely mature gardens, outdoor swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers create a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere with views over the St Peters Port harbour. Take a short stroll to the harbour and you can enjoy the breath taking views of Herm and Sark and the Barclay Island and on the horizon on a clear day you will see Alderney Jersey and France. We will be returning soon.

Everything at the hotel was excellent - from the call before arrival over the service of everything to the wonderful breakfast. High quality in every detail. Highly recomended. Just a nice walk from the Port.

Great Staff, very friendly and helpful. Excellent food, full English breakfast could have fed 3 people. Liked the pool, and outdoor tables and seating. Nice little touches, jars of sweets, daily papers available to read.Biscuits in room, replenished every day. Couple of niggles about the room. Quite small. When we opened the wardrobe, it would bang into the front door. The shower pressure was so high, that you couldn't have a shower without wetting the toilet and the floor.All in all we would probably stay there again.

I often stay at the Duke of Richmond which is an excellent hotel on one of the Worlds most beautiful little Islands. The staff are all friendly including the excellent Maitre d Olga who is probably the best Maitre d i have ever had the privilege to be served by.
The food, rooms and service are hard to beat.. I will be back in September on business.

Rated 4 star , bordering on 5 star. On top of hill, with leafy park outside ( limited views). Excellent breakfast spread. Outdoor restaurant balcony beautiful. Avoid room 110 - with kitchen exhaust outside windo. Room 102 had view, but 3 steps to bathroom and exposed to balcony. Staff happily changed our room on request.

I only stayed one night in the penthouse suite and was so impressed it was exactly what you would expect from a 5 star hotel , if you need to feel a bit special I can recommend a night in the penthouse . Breakfast was to the same standard if only all hotels were this good
