I think some people consider this hotel a little tired, but I don't know why. All public areas and our room were beautiful. Service was absolutely excellent from everyone especially Nelly on reception, Ken in the restaurant, Alessandro... too many to name but all really excellent.

Food: Breakfast menu was huge and I was especially happy with the omelettes. We enjoyed our Liberation dinner and fireworks from the gardens. We especially enjoyed dinner in the Curry Room.

The location is superb - high enough up the hill for great views but also just a few minutes walk from everywhere in the town. We drove around the island from here and when we return, this will be our hotel again.

We really enjoyed our stay - the hotel is a lovely combination of old world charm with sensitively updated decor and crisp, attentive service. All the staff were really friendly and helpful even with our 3 month old baby. Highly recommended and looking forward to our next trip!

The location is ideal being in the middle of town without being near and noise - and provided us with a great base for touring the island by local bus.

A very good hotel in the heart of St Peter port in walking distance of all the attractions and town. The staff were attentive and all very good, all conducted themselses with efficiency and professionalism, nothing was too much for them. The breakfasts were supberb and the soroundings beautiful.

Faultless! Hotel, room, staff and food all excellent. The gym was also a good size, with some decent equipment. Lovely heated outdoor pool, which we didn't use, but we sat by it in the sunshine!
Everything has been thought of and the hotel is perfectly positioned for the centre. Our room had a great sea view, including Castle Cornet. Would happily return.

Stayed for four nights. Excellent hotel, the staff could not do enough for you. The hot breakfasts were freshly cooked, the head waiter Ken was a person who gated you with a smile every morning. The room was yes OK but the bathroom was on the small side, room 214. We tried to eat in the restaurant but the night we wanted to go was completely booked. The menu looked excellent.on our arrival our room was not ready but the staff made us welcome and offered us a glass of bubbly.would we stay again, yes.

We spent a couple of nights here because we had journeyed to a wedding on the beautiful island. The welcome we received could not have been bettered. All staff were discreet but friendly.We were accompanied by our boxer doggie and she was delighted to receive not only an extremely warm welcome from staff, but the chef went out of his way to create some doggie-friendly biscuits! Admirable choice for breakfast, (for us, that is)!
The only slight criticism was the lack of a decent car park, but that is understanable given the situation of the hotel. There is a beautiful park within 60 yards of the hotel.

I stay in hotels all round the world with my job and can honestly say that this is one of my favourites. It is part of the Red Carnation group which I had never heard of before but I was so interested in the history of it. Lovely story and beautiful hotels. It is in a great position , right in the centre of town and a stones throw from shops, bars, restaurants and the harbour. The tourist Information is in a lovely building just down to the seafront and along to the left. The hotel has a grand feel to it but not stuffy at all.

The OGH ( as we learned to call it ) is a lovely old building filled with traditional furnishings and lots of character. From the moment we walked into the reception with
it's chandeliers and vases of lilies and were met by the very friendly concierge Stewart I
knew we were going to love it. The concierge staff park your car for you. The reception staff were super nice and we were given a glass of bubbly whilst we were being checked in. Stewart then showed us to our rooms ( we had three ) and gave us lots of information regarding the hotel and Guernsey which was terrific as this was our first visit to the island.

We had breakfast in the light and bright Brasserie which was a conservatory and looked onto the garden. There was also the option to have breakfast in the lovely garden. The hotel is very quirky. There are various little rooms with bars and outside terraces and a fabulous banqueting room which has gorgeous chandeliers and a huge window looking out to sea. Traditional afternoon tea is served in another lovely lounge which also has books and boardgames. There is also a Spa.

Two of our rooms had balconies which had views out to see. All the rooms have traditional decor. There was a hand written welcome note and we also received a personal card thanking us for our visit to the hotel after we returned home. Very comfortable beds. Tea/coffee making facilities, hair dryer, iron/ironing board available on request. Lovely robes and slippers and monogrammed linen on the beds. L'Occitane toiletries in the bathroom. No fridge but I believe you can request one. The curtains are fab. Heavy and well lined so we had a great sleep. Turndown service .The one thing which I think would definitely be an improvement would be to remove the horizontal net curtain which blocks the great view. Seems such a shame.

The hotel has an outdoor, heated pool which is surrounded by geraniums. Nice sun loungers and big white fluffy towels. It is like a little oasis in the middle of town. In the evening the gardens are lit with fairy lights and you can sit out with your drinks. I will mention that the drinks are very expensive but as I previously said there are plenty of nice bars beside the hotel. One directly behind has a beer garden and I noticed a lot of the hotel residents in there.

Guernsey was so enjoyable. From the lovely restaurants, countryside, beautiful beaches to the very interesting "Things to do". The German Hospital, Little Chapel , Castles etc etc and flowers! Everywhere there seems to be beautiful hanging baskets and flowers. For my dad's 83rd birthday celebrations we went to Cobo Bay and had dinner watching the sunset over the beach. Just perfect. We also took the ferry over to Sark and went round this little island in a horse and cart. The hotel booked this for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. As an animal lover I was a bit apprehensive about the horses welfare but all of these horses are well looked after.

The staff at the OGH are all so lovely. Nelly at reception is like a little pocket rocket. So enthusiastic and friendly. All of the reception staff are great. All genuinely willing to help. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for anyone in this hotel.

I am sorry that I cannot remember everyones name but would like to mention the absolutely charming Alessandro in the restaurant. So professional and such a lovely man. Another lovely staff member Arsenio greeted us each morning and always remembered my 'hot' milk for my coffee. Jaro is another super chap. He gave us lots of information about restaurants and made various bookings for us. Francisco in concierge is a really nice chap too.

This hotel is pricey but we loved it. It's all the little details which make this hotel stand out and it's staff. The only one downside was the early check out. It is 11am and not the traditional 12 noon. If not for that this it would have been perfect.

If I ever return to Guernsey this is where I would want to stay , it's fab.

Just back from 3 wonderful nights at this hotel. From the time you walk through the door till the time you leave you are made to feel like the most important guests in the hotel. We were given a glass of wine when we arrived whilst waiting to check in and a special mention to Stuart and Jaro they are amazing members of staff. They gave us lots of information about the island and the tour of the hotel was brilliant with lots of stories on route. We stayed in room 315 which was lovely. The bedding was wonderful and the beds really comfortable. Plenty of choice at breakfast and service was excellent. We only had the one meal in the evening and that was outstanding; again the service was exceptional. Pay a visit to the gin bar. Sitting out on the veranda was great. Every member of the staff in the hotel was so friendly and helpful. Thanks for such an amazing visit.

There’s nothing really wrong with this restaurant but it was just very average in our view. It was very noisy on the evening we visited but that can’t be helped.
