This location is a return for our dear friend, who celebrated a milestone birthday during our stay. From the moment we arrived, through every moment of our stay, service was exquisite.

The hotel accomodated us for large gatherings, a fabulous birthday dinner, a even more fabulous wine testing paring and whiskey tasking from the famous David (top notch!!)

The hotel property was gorgeously decorated for Christmas and with the outmost attention to detail. The room was beautiful with great bathroom amenities. Very lovely.

Great memorable stay!!

Very nice location and lovely place. Although decoration was not my style, it was very comfortable and very well maintained.

Extremely clean (they even disinfected the TV remote!) and they have lots of details to pamper you in the room, including great bathroom amenities.

Breakfast was very good and the restaurant in general was good.

I definitely recommend this hotel.

The room the food the staff, everything was just for the guest's enjoyment. I could not fault it in any way. It was a little expensive for 3 of us with dinner, bed and breakfast and one being a child but we definitely got value for money.

40th Anniversaryweekend. From the moment we walked through the door our stay became magical.
Andi greeted us at reception and gave us keys to our superb, perfectly clean king size bedroom. She looked after us beautifully throughout our stay.
Later during the stay we met Garath the assistant manager who made us very welcome and ensured our stay had everything we could have hoped for.
We had room service with perfect sandwiches, we had afternoon tea also superb.
A great breakfast and on our anniversary a complementary glass of champagne .
We had dinner in the Brasserie which actually is a very nice restaurant and the meal was absolutely fantastic.My wife thought it one of the nicest she had ever ate.
Spa visit had all we needed.
We Then met the manager Mr Andrew Chantrell and told him how we felt about our stay and we were once again treated like VIP's. All round brilliant weekend.would highly,highly recommend and we would love to come during the summer to take advantage of the alfresco dining and pool. Not only the Best in Guernsey but I would suggest one of the best anywhere. Wrighty57

The OGH is a sister hotel to the Duke of Richmond. It's conveniently located in the centre of St Peter Port and everything is within walking distance. It has a very traditional feel to the decor a bit like being transported into a Miss Marple novel. The room was good and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast service could have been a little quicker which is why I have deducted a point off the rating. Worth staying.

Had a wonderful overnight stay at this hotel. We were given a free upgrade on our room which was beautiful. Our three course meal was great too. We also made use of the spa facilities too. A great relaxing stay!

To all the staff at the Old Government House.
In the first instance, I would like to offer my apologies for not writing this review upon my return from a most relaxing short vacation at the Old Government House in Guernsey. I am certain, we all are aware of the pressures of work and how this dictates time and this is no different. It goes without stating the obvious that our stay at the Old Government House was one of total relaxation and enjoyment.

On arriving at the Old Government House we were met by Andi, the front of house manager and several staff who were there to greet us. Immediately, as the doors were open from a taxi, staff were there to assist with our luggage after a rather bumpy flight to Guernsey. The luggage was then transported as if magically to our room. Andi, welcomed us to the hotel and following the normal completion of all the forms we were shown to our room by a very pleasant and kind gentleman by the name of Vincent. The room was exceptional with a view over St Peter Port harbour that was truly inspirational. Andi, the front of house manager, was very perceptive and realised that this occasion, of my birthday, was quite special and therefore the room was equally distinctive.

The room, which had a balcony enabled a panoramic view over the harbour which in the evening incorporated the amazing lights on the Castle Cornet, making the feeling of being somewhere really exclusive, even better. As this was a short break we, unfortunately, could only stay three nights, hence the reason for staying in St Peter Port as we would be near all the amenities that the capital had to offer. The situation of the Old Government House makes it absolutely perfect for this short break with the shops only a very short walk away as soon as you exit the hotel. The Old Government House, itself, is absolutely amazing, from the point you enter the main door all the staff are so welcoming, there is a general feel of great cohesion. All the staff in the Old Government House appeared to work so well together and the staff that we met were just exceptional, with a lead such as Andi, a perfect role model to follow.

I do not feel it is necessary to write anything about the room we stayed in except we were in awe of the space and view. The website for the Old Government House includes many pictures of the variety of rooms available, of which all are impeccable and to see them first hand is a delight. It must be said however, that this is the centre of St Peter Port and as such can be quite noisy. Our room on this occasion and at this time of year was amazingly quiet and helped with the relaxation that was required. It would go without writing that in a hotel such as this one you would expect the food to be impeccable. Both my wife and I found the food to be quite exquisite and certainly enough, quantity wise, to satisfy the heartiest of people. The carefully selected culinary cuisine is a credit to the chef and the staff who prepare this. The presentation of all the food was exceptional and something to be marvelled over. It was not only the presentation of the food, but it was also the way that this was served at the table. There was great care and sensitivity to ensure that the whole dining experience was something of a gastronomic delight, quite extraordinarily wonderful. This includes, the selection of food for breakfast, evening meals and room service, all of which both my wife and I were overwhelmed with by the quality and presentation.

On the first evening we had room service, again, impeccable. On the two evenings we ate in the hotel there was a pianist, Paul Tongs, who played some of the most amazing accompaniment to set the scene for a really relaxing evening of gourmet dishes and magical musical entertainment, this made our stay at the Old Government House even more special than what it was. Even the staff in the Spa, after I had talked with them, were able to work their magic on my wife’s hands, massaging these and painting the nails with care and precision. It cannot go without writing, this short break at the Old Government House was an incredibly memorable time made even more unsurpassed by the staff in the hotel. Gabrielle, Sharon and Sharon’s husband, whose name eludes me at this moment in time, my apologies, were just three of the people along with Vincent, who made our stay particularly welcoming. With Andi as a lead and the role model she is, it is not surprising that all the staff working in the Old Government House are as sensitive and caring as they are. It is as if everyone who is a guest in the hotel is welcomed and treated with individual care and expertise. Thank you for making our short break with you the exceptional time it was. Your time and attention to detail is unrivalled, thank you.

My husband and I stayed at the Duke of Richmond to celebrate my "significant" birthday, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel was superb with first class decor and furnishings. Our room was beautiful, the food excellent and the position so close to the port was ideal. However, above and beyond that, what raised this four star hotel to even greater heights was the staff; they were all - reception, restaurant, bar and chamber staff - friendly, courteous, welcoming and so helpful - nothing was too much trouble. I strongly recommend it, and we will certainly be visiting again.

From the minute we arrived we were treated with a 5 star service. The room was upgraded and the decor was contemporary and 'funky' but plush. All ammenaties were catered for and the bed and bedding were the best I've ever encountered in a hotel. The staff go out of there way to be polite and give an amazing service. The breakfasts are top rate and the evening meals varied and great quality. My partners 50th birthday did not go unnoticed as a bespoke cake was delivered to the room as a special treat.

These guys know how to look after their guests and made are stay in Guernsey a special event. I wouldn't stay anywhere else after the welcome we enjoyed, a truly special hotel.

A combination of a slight error on the hotel's part and the fact that it was our Golden Wedding meant that the excellent staff not only did everything to make our stay delightful ...a decorated plate of goodies in our room with card signed by staff, a free bottle of wine, a fantastic afternoon tea (fFortnum and Masons eat your heart out) -but did it all with a smile. Despite the hill walk, at 75 and 78 we found it very easy to reach the port and other sites of interest.
