We ate here recently and were very impressed by the great service and quality of the food.
We went for a family lunch and had several different dishes from the menu, all beautifully presented and delicious!
We would highly recommend it if visiting the area.

My wife having recently been ill, we decided a short break would do her good. We chose this hotel "on spec" but what an inspired choice it proved to be. Everything about the hotel spoke of care for the guests. The ambiance of the place is outstanding - luxurious, but not over-stated, Rooms are comfortable, and the re-furbished ones, one of which we enjoyed, are excellent. The staff in all areas were great, both those front of house and those in the restaurant, where they went out of their way to please. We will return!!

Located quite near to the main High Street in St Peter Port, the OGH harks back to a bygone age of British and Colonial hotels. The building is beautiful,the Coward Room is furnished very nicely and suits the afternoon tea guests.
The staff are very personable and most are eager to assist (a few notables less eager,but they are in the minority). The Governors is a great fine dining option within the Hotel,excellent food and service, the Brasserie is a more "run of the mill" choice in the informal guest house style. The bar is linked to the restaurant and drinks can be taken by the pool.
The rooms vary,some are very impressive and the others can look quite tired,with sea views for some guests and views across a graveyard and access road for the less lucky. Internet in room,Pay TV and a limited selection of cable channels are provided.
Overall this is the best option on the island of Guernsey with adjoining Spa it attracts a mix of business guest,celebs and retired couples.Certainly not an 18-30 crowd! but a fine hotel keeping traditions alive.

Many thanks to all at the OGH who made our recent stay with them one to remember. We have just returned from a few days away with some friends to celebrate two birthdays and all of us agreed that, although the bedrooms were a little small, the staff were brilliant and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. What made the stay even more special was the delivery of cards and cakes on the appropriate days. Most unexpected but very thoughtful. The public rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious with a large selection available. We will definitely return to the OGH when we next visit to Guernsey.

We have just returned from spending Easter at the Old Government House Hotel and Spa.
Without exception, all the staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made us feel very special.
Our room, with a sea view was lovely.
The meals we had in the brasserie were delicious and the service excellent.
We finished off our stay by having afternoon tea in the lounge. This was a perfect ending to a wonderful stay and we hope very much to return soon

We stayed for two nights and had a thoroughly wonderful stay. The service was impeccable and the food was excellent. As a vegetarian I was very well looked after and nothing was too much trouble. The staff booked us a trip to Sake which was a lovely a lovely day out. They even provided me with some carrots to feed the horses. I can not praise this hotel enough. I felt relaxed from the moment we arrived and can not wait to come back again. Thank you to all the staff for looking after us so well.

We flew over to Guernsey for lunch on Saturday and hired a private room. The hotel couldn't have been more accommodating even though they were hosting a large wedding that day. It is a magnificent place, very close to the centre of St Peter Port. The food was excellent, but the staff and service we received really shone through. They must have excellent management and must also invest in their staff as it definitely shows. Thank you to everybody for making our day so special.
