We booked this hotel for our 10 year anniversary. We arrived at the hotel at 8.30am and were able to check in immediately. The room was beautiful and we had an amazing view of the harbour. The hotel is centrally located in the town and therefore ideally located for sightseeing. The staff were very friendly and I could not fault the customer service.
The spa facilities are amazing and its a great place to relax after walking round St. Peters Port. The night of our anniversary we returned to our room to find rose petals scattered on the bed and complementary strawberries dipped in chocolate, and champagne. This was wonderful, unexpected touch by the hotel. We had breakfast brought to our room - which was outstanding and the next morning and they were happy for us to store our bags at the hotel after we checked out. They also arranged a taxi for us back to the hotel.
At the airport I realised that I had left my coat at the hotel. I rung them immediately and told them that I was about to board the aeroplane. They found my coat and have arranged for it to be posted back to me.
Wonderful hotel and we will definitely be returning! Great find!

My wife and I stayed for a few days at the OGH in St Peter Port to include the 1st September for our 30th wedding anniversary. From the time we walked in the front door to the time we left, the staff were brilliant! Nothing was too much trouble, we had swans and hearts made out of towels (and red carnations of course) on the bed each evening which my wife very much appreciated. Our suite was lovely though the shower was small and the walls a bit thin, however it is an old building and these small issues didn't detract from a wonderful stay assisted by the hotel's outstanding staff. It was a great choice of hotel for our 30th and one we will definitely return to, absolutely loved it!!

We used this for a long weekend admittedly a while back but had a simply wonderful time. Everything from the room with the views to breakfasts to the staff was simply wonderful. The staff had a maturity which meant there was absolutely no difficulty communication, they almost second guest what we were going to say. Swimming and sitting by the pool one unusually warm Friday afternoon and sipping G&T's was exactly what was required. Will definitely return and soon!

This was everything you want a five-star hotel to be. Everything was done in the right way without you having to ask. How often does that happen these days? Not very! The hotel is in a great location in St Peter's Port. It is done up in a homely, but stylish way with pleasant communal area, garden and pool. We stayed in a King Double, which will a decent sized room with space for our ten month old daughter's travel cot (which the hotel set up and provided for us by prior request as well as providing a baby towel and a complimentary teddy bear for her, which was lovely). The staff really went the extra mile wherever possible. We we never made to feel a nuisance and our needs were met without fuss (e.g. a fridge was brought up so we could put our baby's milk in it within 3 minutes of asking!). Breakfast was delicious and after we had eaten, with our baby in her highchair loving all the fresh fruit, her special bowl and spoon were taken away and cleaned for us, which was really considerate of staff. Gorgeously comfortable bed, great shower with plenty of L'Occitane goodies in the bathroom, a decent TV, excellent concierge service and valet parking. All just great, but rounded off with a delicious afternoon tea on our last day, taken in the gardens with the last of the September sunshine.

We organised with the OGH to hold our evening function with them. They were extremely professional and made everything easy and straight forward for us.
On the night, the staff and food were excellent.
We had an amazing night thanks to all involved with our event.
Thank you Andrew, Samatha and all your staff!

Excellent service, wonderful food and overall an excellent break. If you have to find fault, the room was a little disappointing. You have to accept that it is not a " standard box" hotel and most of the rooms are individual. Staff are very attentive without being overpowering and condescending.

We stayed here for four days. Our room was just perfect with a beautiful view over St. Peter Port Harbour. We found it difficult to draw ourselves away from watching the ever changing actvities going on in the harbour. The room had every comfort and amenity that one would expect from a high end hotel. The staff were such friendly and helpful people many of whom were clearly passionate about providing the best service that they could for us, for example going out of their way to help us find local walks many of which they had tried themselves. The two resteraunts in the hotel were again exceptional, top class cuisine served by organised and very efficient staff. This hotel is well worth a visit.

I spent my birthday here for a relaxing weekend away. The hotel is in the ideal location near to the town in a very scenic spot. Our room was perfect with stunning views out to sea, everything is very luxurious with traditional charm. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful - it really makes a difference, thank you to Andrew and his team. We ate in the curry restaurant one evening, which I can highly recommend. All the food is of a very high quality. The hotel has a wonderful ambience and is very popular for events and afternoon teas. Please do not hesitate to book this hotel for your next trip to Guernsey, you will love it! We can't wait to go back.

A stay here is a very nice experience. On arrival, the reception desk were friendly and informative offering iced lemon water which was much appreciated after our long ferry trip. Our car was taken and parked for us due to the restricted parking facilities. However, we did not use our car for the duration as the bus service in Guernsey is very good and cheap. Our room was compact but had everything for our comfort although we could have done with another chair. The bathroom was very nice with good quality toiletries and super fluffy white towels. Also had automatic blue lighting for that visit to the bathroom at night! The room was serviced twice daily and everything was very clean. Breakfast was very nice with a good selection of fruits, juices and yoghurts. There is a charge for a "healthy" breakfast but there is a nice selection of other cooked food included in the price. I tried the crushed avocado one morning and quinoa another as this is not something you have everyday for breakfast. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We ate one evening in their restaurant. The food was nicely cooked and presented. The cost for the two of us was £97 for a starter , main, a glass of wine each, coffee and I had a liqueur so not cheap. However, as we had a £50 meal allowance, this brought it down to an acceptable level and it was nice to dress up for an evening. There are nice gardens and an outdoor swimming pool. There is no indoor pool which is a shame. Access on foot to OGH is uphill so might present some difficulty for someone with walking problems but otherwise in a good position. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who go out of their way to help and we would stay here again.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this hotel, however there is little that is needed !!
Accommodation and dining both excellent.
Spa available (but not used by me).
Go for the rooms with a view over the harbour towards Herm (worth a trip in itself).
Central for all local services.
Wouldn't hesitate to go again.
