Whilst we have toyed with staying in other hotels, every time the confidence we can have in the excellence and comfort of The OGH brings us back to booking into this place we know, like and can rely upon.
Our previous stay seemed a little under par but then that was still a cut above the average and for this stay it was back to its heights.
The bed superbly comfortable, every 'extra' we had pre booked was in our generously sized room with its en suite bathroom (yes a bath) Plenty of towels, bath robes and L'Ocitaine toiletries.
The room was made up while we had breakfast and prepared for us in the evening.
The lovely outside garden seems to be tended daily as is the pool.
There is a comfortably large lounge but which is arranged for the conviviality of small groups and has a supply of newspapers and games.
Key to an hotel of this standing is the courtesy, friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Top of the range.
We will be back!

This was our 12th consecutive year staying at the OGH, the hotel is well placed to explore both St Peter Port its self & the rest of island. The staff are only to eager to arrange transport to explore & recommend places to visit. Our balcony room over looked Herm & Sark, with Castle Cornet in the foreground. All ready planning next years trip.

First visit to the OGH, the experience reflects its 5-star rating, all staff were a credit to the hotel. The walk up & down the hill into the town centre could be a problem for some people but can be an easy amble. We will definitely visit again. Thank you

I recently returned for two nights to what remains my very favourite hotel. After almost a year away and in spite of the fact that my visit was for work it was in every respect as enjoyable as before. Inevitably there were some staff changes and two nights was not long enough to get to know the new members but it was a great pleasure to see some familiar faces. In some ways it was almost as if I had never been away.
I hope that there will be more reasons for more visits.
OGH remains a magical hotel for me.

We have just returned from four days at the Old Government House Hotel and wanted to say what a lovely experience it was. Not usually staying anywhere so 'grand' we were a little apprehensive as to how we would find everything but need not have worried as everyone was so welcoming without making you feel uncomfortable and we were thoroughly spoilt with extras in our room as we had a special anniversary to celebrate. Everything was tip top from the accommodation to the food and the ambience and we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to all friends and family. Thank you again.

This hotel is very unassuming from the outside but this all changes once inside. There are lots of the original features remaining and the decor is very tasteful.
Excellent staff at reception who helped us with arranging cycle hire and taxis. Andi gave us a guided tour of the hotel. She was very knowledgeable considering that Guernsey is not her home. She's also very passionate and proud of the Red Carnation group.
Our suite was well appointed with a gorgeous bay window overlooking the harbour. Very comfortable bed with crisp bed linen. The bathroom was large with lots of towels! The room was perfect but perhaps the addition of a mini fridge might be considered by management.
There is an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers. Had we known that the pool was heated to a comfortable 28c we would have packed our bathers! Oh well, we'll remember them next time.
Breakfast was served in a spacious airy room with the option of also eating al fresco. Good selection on the buffet with lots of fresh fruit too. There is also an extensive menu with the usual
hot breakfast selection but with the addition of healthier options i.e. avocado and poached egg on toast, butternut squash "pancakes", to name a couple. The staff were very efficient and we didn't have to wait too long for hot drinks and food.
The hotel boasts a gin bar which met with our approval.
Many thanks to the OGH who made our weekend break one to remember.

A hotel delivers only on staff performance. It is the only thing that makes one stand out from place x up the road from where i the traveller wants to be and the OGH staff are perfect.
Each and every staff member made an effort not appear so. They clearly work extremely hard and are so nice to talk to.
I am very lucky to have visited hotels in 3 continents in 20 years of travelling and for staff i rate this the best experience i have had.
The food was delicious and served hot to all guests.
They took care of my every need before i even thought of it half the time.
For any function, wedding or just a stay on the island i heartly recommend.

A lovely old fashioned 5 star hotel, bit of a problem parking outside to unload as it is a narrow street. However they do park the car for you. Nice welcome. Room very small and dark.Food and staff very good. Nice restaurants.
I did use the spa, felt very embarrassed walking through the hotel with gown on as there was a wedding on.

We stayed for a fortnight and although it's expensive you really do get what you pay for. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel or its very competent team. Eating in the hotel was a real pleasure and apart from busy times the service was excellent.
Is there a downside- well it's an old building and sound insulation isn't great and there was one evening when a function could be heard in some of the bedrooms. That said we were advised in advance and the event was well managed and did not go on too late.
All in all - it's a real hotel and a pleasure to stay at.

Very comfortable bedroom, and well-appointed public rooms with excellent facilities - gym and outdoor heated pool - and very pleasant staff. It is most conveniently positioned in the town with easy walking to most sites.
