Excellent service from staff. Helpful but unobtrusive. Room well furnished with comfortable beds and good views over the harbour to Herm and Sark. The Governors restaurant was really excellent - food of very good quality. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the hotel provided complimentary champagne.

I booked one night at The Old Government House as I had to go to Guernsey on business. The cheapest I could find for a standard room with breakfast was £125 so went with it. On arrival we were taken to our room which was pokey and certainly not what I expected for the night. I looked at an upgraded room for an extra £50 a night which was somewhat better but ended up paying an additional £70 for a decent room - at this time of year in Guernsey when the hotel had 12 rooms empty was on the excessive side. The location of the hotel is very good being just a five minute walk from the town centre of St Peter Port. Parking is not so good as there is a small car park at the back of the hotel which they say is valet parking but it was easier to park it myself. The public rooms are very nice, elegant and inviting and a glass of wine was reasonable at £4 or £16 a bottle. Breakfast was excellent and served in a nice conservatory. Check in was a dither and as I wanted to change my room it took about 10 minutes to find one available. The young Concierge was charming and really put himself out to help. The staff overall were very obliging and attentive. The upgraded room we had was spacious with a very large bed and lots of wardrobe space but strangely enough no shelves. There are tea/coffee making facilities and they will provide fresh milk free of charge. The bathroom was not so great and had a very small shower cubicle and looked more dated that the bedroom itself - possibly a cheap makeover when the bedroom was decorated. There was no fridge in the room and annoyingly for a 4* hotel, no in room safe. There is free internet access through the television but it was not the easiest to use. All in all, it was a pleasant overnight stay in a very nice hotel but on the expensive side for what it is. A colleague of mine stayed at the St. Pierre Park which is newly refurbished and he got a double room including breakfast and car hire for just over £80. We called in there for a coffee and it is very smart indeed so on reflection , I think he got the better deal and I would try the St. Pierre Park if I have to return to Guernsey.

One of two recent stays at OGH. Traditional, clean, small rooms, front desk staff very friendly and helpful - porters young, enthusiastic and a tad overzealous. Ater at the Bistro, good, interesting menu. Location without peer for St Peter Port town.

This hotel is in a wonderful location. The suite that we had was amazing. The room service was exceptional. The staff in this hotel are something we have never come across before. Nothing is to small or large and they are so friendly & very efficient. The restaurants are very good which reflects on the chef. We look forward to another visit in the summer months.

What a lovely atmosphere in this place. It reminds me of the Goodwood in Singapore. Time has stopped and we're back in a gentler era. We only had lunch. The food was good - I had a simple salad, but such as it was, it was well prepared and well presented. Waiters were elegant, helpful and seemed to be happy, with cheery smiles as they passed each other - seemed like the working atmosphere was as good behind the scenes. Our table overlooked the gardens, which were pretty and tranquil. I fully intend to go back and stay in the hotel.

Lovely room with an extremely comfortable (and massive!) bed which was a real treat after a long flight from South Africa, via London to the channel Islands. Friendly and "down to earth" staff. Great spread at the buffet breakfast.

A lovely hotel in the centre of St Peter Port. We booked a 'king, sea view' room which was very nicely decorated. The view from our balcony over looked the whole of the harbour. The bathroom was adequate but on the small size. Breakfast was good but not excellent. The outdoor pool area was really good - the pool heated and a good size. The hotel location is excellent - close to the centre of St Peter Port - ideal for trying local restaurants (no trip to Guernsey is clomplete without a trip to Brown's restaruant in the Old Quarter, booking recommended). For us, this has been a perfect holiday ... the sun shone the whole time, we hired a tandem and cycled everywhere, food was great. The icing on the cake were the OGH staff - thoroughly professional, helpful and friendly. We thought you were great.

Stayed at the Old Government House Hotel in May for 6 days, I would congratulate the staff on their professionalism and kindness to us on our stay. The Brassire was so welcoming and the staff made sure that your every wish was granted a very friendly atmosphere. The Spa is marvellous, great de stresser. The food in the restuarant was excellent and the attention to detail next to none. The room we stayed in was very spacious with a beautiful view over the bay. The buses to get around were fantastic and so much to see and do. Would definately return.

I have stayed in many luxury hotels during my travels but never have I felt so valued and treated as a guest. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and pampered. The managers, who are clearly at the top of their game, went out of their way to accommodate us and the staff were genuinely concerned about our experience and comfort. The rooms are luxuriously decorated and impeccably kept and make the guest feel instantaneously relaxed. Dining at the hotel restaurant was fantastic and the overall ambience of the hotel made it a trip to remember. I wouldn't think twce about going back to this fabulous hotel!
