Visited the Alpine Lodge with colleagues for a Christmas do. Lovely atmosphere, the warmest welcome, nice food, sumptuous chocolate fountain (thank you for sitting us next to it 😉). The best of all was as usual was the staff, and especially Maria for making sure everyone in the Lodge is comfortable and attended on time. Thank you, Maria, for your genuine smile and for making us all feel so good xxx

Popped in here on the off chance for lunch yesterday. Greeted superbly by the staff who arranged a very nice table overlooking the sea. Grandson had fish and chips daughter had the lobster soup and I had fillet of plaice with mash and veg and a pesto sauce. We all agreed the food was absolutely gorgeous but what made the whole experience worthwhile was the wonderful waiter we had in the restaurant. Afterwards we had a look around and this is definitely a very nice hotel...thank you.

We had a voucher to use, and had wanted to try the curry house for a while. At £45/head for the food plus £6-7/beer, its not somewhere I would go regularly. Firstly the service was 5 star. Very nice, friendly and helpful.
However the curry was good, but not amazing. We were asked if we wanted it hot and we both said yes, but both dishes were pretty bland. The portions were huge, too much to finish, but I would have rathered more quality than quantity. We were too full to bother with desert, even though it was paid for anyway.
We had a very pleasent evening, but at £140 for two peoples food with 3 drinks each, I want to be at least a bit wowed with flavours.

We stayed 2 nights in December at the OGH, which seemed to be the best hotel in Guernsey. The location is excellent, very close to the city center. We asked for a room overlooking the harbor and balcony, which was assigned to us. Many thanks to Alberto, for his night work attending to our safety and to all the equipment (kitchen, housekeepers, etc). I will recommend it for sure.

Stayed for a single night. Alberto (member as reception team) was brilliant - really friendly and helpful - arranged a few hours late check out at no extra cost.
Brasserie restaurant served great food I specially enjoyed the delicious cheescake yummi.
Really enjoyed my short stay and will be back.

The location is very good - right in the centre of the town. There are some negatives that go with this, of course, such as none of the rooms being very big (we had a seaview king room) and the need for help with parking if you have a car.
The service was good, but prioritised formality over friendliness.
We had two breakfasts and one dinner - all excellent.
Quite expensive.

We were there for a one night winter warmer and must say we couldn’t fault it, we were welcomed at checkin with a nice glass of bubbly then taken to our room which was superb with sea views. My wife made use of the spa where I went to the bar for a quick g&t served by Saul a very friendly and efficient young man but I will say all the staff are superb, went back to the room for a quick shower then back to the bar for another g&t each then dinner in the brassiere which was very good indeed. This is our first actual stay at the hotel but we’ve used it for gin tastings and afternoon tea and absolutely love the place, looking forward to a wine tasting and two more gin tastings.

Lovely hotel with great staff. Lots of thoughtful little extras to make you feel welcome. Great location - you can walk to the town and marina. Nice breakfast, good evening dinner menu. We had a very nice room with comfy bed and a great view. Book direct with hotel for the best price.

Many thanks,

Stayed one night (14th March 2020).
Overall a very pleasant experience.
The staff and service was excellent.
I must give an outstanding rate to “Nazario “a waiter in the brassiere restaurant.
What a charming young man with outstanding customer service.
The room was well furnished and comfortable but not my taste of decor.
Also a bit small for the price charged.
The spa area ( sauna/steam room ) was a bit shabby.
The spa and gym closes at 6pm on a weekend which nobody mentioned on check in or when I viewed the spa earlier in the day. Sadly I only got 10 minutes use of it.
On check in you are required to leave your car keys at check in.
On checking out I was given the wrong car keys twice as nobody had labelled the keys ( not good ). Also my bill was incorrect.
These areas could be improved on but didn’t spoil my stay.
