We were booked in for a single night at the 'OGH' - as, we were told by the taxi driver, the locals call - and we weren't disappointed.
You enter into a stunning entrance lobby with extremely welcoming and friendly reception staff.
Our Queen room was delightful with plenty of space in the room as a whole, a comfortable seating area and a lovely bathroom to one side. Plenty of storage and an unexpected turn-down service.
On the Saturday we took tea on the patio and evening drinks in the lounge....all of which were served by very cheerful and attentive staff.....we especially liked our Dutch waiter who took the time to describe the hotel's facilities should we decide to hold meetings at the establishment in the future.
After an extremely tasty breakfast on the Sunday morning the hotel's concierge, Robbie, was extremely helpful when we suddenly decided to go for a coastal walk before our flight home on the Sunday.
All in all a very lovely couple of relaxing days were had in beautiful surroundings...both at the hotel and on the island in general.

We stayed for a week at the end of June 2015 and enjoyed every moment of our stay. This really is a superbly run hotel which lives up to its 5 star rating. Particularly well located in the heart of St Peter Port, our room overlooked the harbour so that every morning we awoke to lovely views over the town and harbour. The staff, without exception, were engaging and helpful and their happy demeanour added significantly to the quality of our holiday. It would be invidious to select individuals - but the Brasserie staff and the Concierge team excelled. We will certainly consider a return visit. M & D Cole

Yes, I like this place. The rooms are clean and comfy and the hotel is possibly the best on the island.
Yes, the rooms are expensive, but I felt we got value for money. The staff are also excellent and no request is too much trouble
One small gripe concerned our room key/card - it kept on requiring re-programming., but again, the staff sorted the issue as soon as possible.
The restaurant (Brasserie) is pretty good too. We didn't try the curry restaurant as we didn't want to be the only people in the room!
I would return to this establishment

We stayed here for a long weekend Friday to Monday every member of staff could not do enough for us. Bianca in reception, Stewart at the concierge to Ken in the restaurant even Paul the pianist made our stay enjoyable. The hotel is Old (Old Government House) but the standards are high food is good Very good especially the full English breakfast we will stay here again. We stayed in a room overlooking the harbour as we were given an upgrade at a reduced cost but we did look at other rooms which we would not have been disappointed with and next time we are likely to go for a room overlooking the pool/courtyard. Thank you OGH see you again soon.

We have stayed at OGH for a number of years and have always enjoyed our stay there. It is the perfect venue to relax and enjoy a break and it will always be our preferred choice. There is nothing that can be improved on as every detail is taken care of by the OGH team who ensure every lives up to our expectations.
The accommodation reflects the exceptional standards OGH maintains.
The location is ideal being near to the town for shopping and the harbour for tours around and off the Island.

This was our second visit to the hotel, having impressed us last year we couldnt wait to go back, and they did not disapoint us.
Every aspect of the hotel itself and the service you receive is superb and I dont have a single complaint apart from having to leave and go home.
Afternoon Tea was spectacular and although we couldn't finish it, it was boxed up for us and we enjoyed it later on in our room.
I just love the many little details, like a different treat left on your pillow every night when returning to your room & a hand written card to welcome you back.
I really wish we could have stayed longer but we will definately be back.

My partner and i have just returned from an amazing night in this hotel. This hotel is truly 5 star. The hotel itself is classy, the rooms are beautiful as are the bathrooms. The place is immaculately clean and the service is unbeatable. There is a lovely pool area to sunbathe, very comfortable sun loungers and towels provided. The staff are very professional, polite and helpful. We ordered breakfast in bed and it was a delight, everything you could ask for with very generous portions. Nothing was too much trouble. This hotel has a very classy, romantic and beautiful atmosphere. The afternoon tea is lovely as well. The drinks were not overpriced either which is unusual for a hotel of this standard. Cannot thank the staff enough for a memorable stay. I will definitely be returning.

We have just returned from a week's holiday at this hotel. Everything is perfect. The staff are excellent. The food is first class. We have stayed in many hotels in this country and in Europe and the United Sates of America. This is the best hotel we have stayed in in the United Kingdom. The only one that comes close to this is the Bauer Hotel in Venice but even then it is a very close call. We tested the water by staying at the Acorn Inn in Dorset and we call it the gem in Dorset. This is the diamond in Guernsey. Whoever is responsible for the organisation and training of staff in this hotel really knows what they are doing. We will be back and thank you to you all for making our stay most enjoyable. Roger and Pat Vernall Room 209

We stayed for four nights at the end of June.
The hotel is situated a short walk from the ferry terminal which is one of the reasons we chose it, you walk through pretty Candie Gardens to reach it. Our room, though small, had sea views, but no balcony. It was spotlessly clean, with a lovely modern bathroom. A safe, and tea/coffee making facilities are included. The decor of the hotel is possibly not to everyone's taste, but it seems to fit with the overall style of the hotel. The pool area looks good, sadly we didn't make time to use it.
Breakfast was excellent, twice we ate in the conservatory, and for two days we were able to eat it outside on the terrace. Like another reviewer we did have a short wait for a table one morning when the hotel was full, but it wasn't an issue, and they served us coffee while we waited. There were self service cereals, croissants, fruit, yoghurt etc, and hot food, cooked to order. I can't agree with a previous reviewer who claimed that quantities of cooked food were limited as it was waitress service, you could have as much as you wanted, staff were constantly offering to get you more. Our eggs were cooked perfectly each morning.
All the staff we met were charming, helpful and knowledgeable. The hotel is obviously aiming to achieve very high standards of customer service, and any request is met with ease.
I'd definitely go there again.
