The OGH has been refurbished to a very high standard and in many ways gives the impression of being a very up market home, which in many ways it is.
The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
The rooms are very well appointed and spotless.
In the centre of St Peter Port an ideal location with fabulous views of the harbour.
An easy 5 minute walk to the high street and a variety of good restaurants. Le petit Bistro I thoroughly recommend. French cuisine, with French style and grace.
OGH, Well done and thank you.

Arrived here for the staff party about 120 peoples. Staff were friendly and polite. Room was well decorated and plenty of room to move about not squashed. Food was good overall main meal was hot and the roast potatoes were crispy. Some of the starters looked small a beetroot salad had a slice of beetroot and a small piece of goats cheese teaspoon size. Dessert was good and mince pies were served warm. Very good bar service from the Lithuanian bartender who brought the wine from the bar to our table.

Very old hotel building in very good decorative order. Rooms are very comfortable and staff are helpful. Great views out to sea as well. Very good location for the town and businesses so you typically won't need a taxi but note that if you cannot walk far or climb hills you may want to stay elsewhere as there is a reasonably steep hill to walk up to reach the hotel.

Our first time away for Xmas and Guernsey, what a good choice. We had a very relaxing break, the food was fantastic, all the staff very friendly and the customer service was excellent. We will be returning! Everything was well organised from the moment we arrived till we left, the hotel is in a position to walk into St Peter Port. We will be returning and plan to do some day trips to Herm and Sark.

Stayed for a week and the food, ambience and staff were wonderful. Really well decorated and comfortable in both the guest suites and lounges. The Dining room looks over the port and it is lovely to have breakfast on the lawns.

Thank you so much to the head chef and his team for making our staff party so special. We learnt so much and had a great deal of fun. Excellent tuition and service. I really didn't have to organise much at all except make sure that we all turned up. We all left with a bag of secret spice mix and a curry recipe to take home. I tried mine today - Turkey curry. Although I'm afraid I loaded the leftovers onto a homemade pizza and smothered it in cheese! Oopsy but yum!

We chose the OGH for our first ever Christmas away and were very pleased with choice.
We had a sea view king room with a balcony overlooking the rooftops and harbour. The balcony was enclosed, with an electric window which could be lowered to open it. With the very mild weather we were able to enjoy the open balcony for the great views.
The room was very comfortable, clean and well appointed with tea/coffee. The bathroom was small but adequate, although it was tricky to run a bath rather than a shower as you needed to reach a long way round the shower screen. Lovely toiletries.
The public areas were beautifully decorated for Christmas and the service from all staff we encountered was excellent. We arrived Christmas Eve and very much enjoyed the set menu dinner in the brasserie, which is quite small and intimate. Lunch on Christmas Day was served in the much larger function room next door. We were delighted to be given a table in the main window overlooking the sea view. The food was again good, but I was a bit disappointed that one of the two choices for a starter course had also been on the Christmas Eve dinner menu. Similarly the veloute served as an amuse bouche reappeared in another dish later in the meal. We also found the beef a little bland and unseasoned, but overall the meal was very enjoyable. Service was excellent - the staff remembered the wine we had enjoyed the previous evening. The meal was very leisurely and we were too full to visit the evening buffet included on the Christmas package!
Breakfast was excellent, particularly the fresh fruit selection.
The hotel offers valet parking, which is great as the front entrance is on a narrow street. It's a short walk to the shops and restaurants as well as the seafront. We hired a car to explore the island a little, but the hotel's Christmas package included a car to and from the airport if required. Another nice touch was a Christmas stocking hung on our door for Christmas morning with some small gifts and sweets.
We visited the small spa area which has a sauna, steam room and two jacuzzis - we had it to ourselves, which was lovely. We also booked a massage each and were very pleased with them.
Overall we very much enjoyed the atmosphere and quality of service at the OGH and we would definitely return.

A beautiful hotel with lovely rooms, great food and service. It's a shame I was there for only one night, however it's a place I'd definitely I'd like to go back to, however I'd try and arrange for better weather - it was December though.

From arriving at the OGH all the staff was excellent very helpful and friendly , room 220 was over looking the port and sea with a exceptional view, the room was very comfortable with out standing decor. Breakfast was very good with a great range of food to choose from, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for any of the staff .
There is no doubt that the OGH is the best hotel in Guernsey and would recommend anyone to stay here, definitely 5*
