Just had a lovely 9 day break in this superb hotel. Excellent service in all counts from very friendly and efficient staff. Food was really good from breakfast to afternoon tea to dinner. Room was spaceous,clean and tastefully furnished with a huge double bed.
My wife and I were celebrating our 41st wedding anniversary and we received a complimentary bottle of champagne with a plate of fresh fruit and chocolate sauce served to us in our room just after we had arrived. A lovely gesture.
If I have one critism it is the limited space round the pool although we always managed to get a sunbed to relax on with a nice cold beer from the bar and enjoy the late afternoon sun after a days sightseeing.

Tagged a stay in this hotel on the end of a trip to see my sister. Had had a bit of a torrid time on Guernsey with rubbish weather and shredding two tyres on the granite which seems to be lurking on every road!! Fancied a bit of pampering so thought a stay at the OGH hotel would help us go home on a high! When we arrived, the staff could not be more helpful. The Concierge staff were absolutely delightful and my two year old was spoilt rotten and frankly started to turn into a bit of a diva! The hotel itself is beautiful with a real old world charm. It was like stepping back in time and just what I needed after a stressful week. The food in the brasserie was great except we hadn't booked and so had to sit in the lounge area which took the gloss off of it a bit. The highlight for me though was probably the afternoon tea. Gorgeous little cakes and pastries served with a tea of your choice. The sun finally came out on our final day so we got to spend some time in the lovely warm pool and relax on the sun loungers.
The only thing I would do differently next time is maybe request a room that didn't overlook the town. It was quite noisy on the Saturday night with the late night drinkers and there were the crazy Guernsey 4am bin collections which woke us up on both nights!
All in all though we had a fabulous time and are looking forward to a future visit.

Although we had stopped at other Red Carnation hotels before, we had never stopped at the Old Government House in Guernsey. It was an absolute delight and we will readily go back as soon as possible to ensure the excellent standards they have set are being maintained!
We travelled with my 82 year old mother who had one of the refurbished King rooms and we had a suite. My wife loved the room quality and the attentive service of all of the staff. Rarely do you find a hotel where all the staff (without exception) are so obliging and helpful.
We will unreservedly not hesitate to recommend the Old Government House to our friends and business colleagues.

Just like to say what a wonderful time we had on our recent stay at the OGH. The staff were wonderfully attentive. We arrived in the morning , knowing that we would be too early to book into our suite. No problem! We were taken care of. Harry - Guest Relations took us for morning coffee and stayed to chat a while. We had chosen to stay at the OGH for our 35th Wedding Anniversary and the staff in every department of the Hotel made our stay extremely memorable. Nothing was too much trouble and always came with a smile. We will certainly stay there on our next visit.

The whole ambience of this hotel strikes one on entering the reception.The staff have a pride in their hotel and their standard of service reflects this.They will help in any situation and in sorting out bookings or any other service.The Governor's Room Restaurant serves the most exquisite food any is highly recommended. We found the whole Hotel experience relaxing and rewarding.

I can only say what a wonderful weekend we had. Your staff are truly second to none.
We dined in both restaurants and both were lovely.
Well done to you and your staff and we have recommended you to all our friends and family.
We most certainly will not be staying anywhere else when we come back to Guernsey. This was my first time to Guernsey and I loved it.
Spa was lovely, pool area relaxing and really everything was perfect .

We were very impressed with the kindness, courtesy and genuinely friendly manner in which were treated by all members of the staff and management. Nothing was too much trouble, and the meals in the hotel were excellent. The location of the hotel was a bonus - within easy access to the harbour and town.
We will definitely return for a holiday break there - just to be looked after so efficiently whilst chilling out!

We much enjoyed our stay at OGH, a first. Our visit was partly inspired by the Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society book, to which we were introduced by two American friends with whom we will return to the Hotel next May, and partly the excuse for a recce for that 2011 visit.
All the Hotel staff looked after us very well and we thoroughly enjoyed the haute cuisine.
