I often stay at the Duke of Richmond which is an excellent hotel on one of the Worlds most beautiful little Islands. The staff are all friendly including the excellent Maitre d Olga who is probably the best Maitre d i have ever had the privilege to be served by.
The food, rooms and service are hard to beat.. I will be back in September on business.

Rated 4 star , bordering on 5 star. On top of hill, with leafy park outside ( limited views). Excellent breakfast spread. Outdoor restaurant balcony beautiful. Avoid room 110 - with kitchen exhaust outside windo. Room 102 had view, but 3 steps to bathroom and exposed to balcony. Staff happily changed our room on request.

I only stayed one night in the penthouse suite and was so impressed it was exactly what you would expect from a 5 star hotel , if you need to feel a bit special I can recommend a night in the penthouse . Breakfast was to the same standard if only all hotels were this good

Recent 7 night half board stay - fabulous hotel in every way. Great leafy location with short 10 min walk to town centre. (Is on steep hill but taxi available via reception in needed). Gorgeous sunny view of harbour and Candie Gardens from our very clean and comfortable room. Wonderful friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to deliver excellent customer services. Most meals very good, apart from a couple of meals where (beef) meat a little tough for our taste. Enjoyed lovely breakfasts - and on some days on the pretty terrace outside. Pool and terrace garden very well maintained, and these could also be seen from our lovely room. Quiet at night, and great sleep as room air conditioned. Pretty fresh red carnation in bathroom. Cannot wait to return to this lovely hotel, and long to have Bea Tollmans lovely chicken noodle soup again as so delicious. Thank you for our lovely stay it made for a perfect holiday.

We stayed at the OGH for 4nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary.The hotel is first class and well worthy of its five star rating.On arrival we were given a welcome drink whist waiting for the room to be ready.The reception staff were incredibly welcoming especially Michael and Stuart the porter.The staff at the OGH are amazing, never is anything too much trouble and the service is truly excellent.
We were in room 312 and although on the small side it was excellently appointed.Each night sweets were left on the bed with a complimentary local newspaper.On our anniversary when returning to our room we had a wonderful surprise, as on the bed there were cakes and a bottle of bubbly with the bed decorated with rose petals.This was a truly lovely gesture from the hotel and made a wonderful end to our day.
The food and service at breakfast was second to none,it was so incredibly organised.The hotel is ideally situated for walking to the harbour in St Peters Port.There is an outdoor bar called the Prince of Wales about 50 yards from the hotel where a pint of lager and medium glass of wine costs £7.40.There is a restaurant called the Crows Nest overlooking the harbour which is really excellent and extremely good value for money.
We felt that the Old Government House truly made us feel very special and we would not hesitate to return and encourage people that this is a truly wonderful hotel to stay in.
Our stay was booked through Guernsey Travel.com on a 4 nights for the price of three and this also included free transfers to and from the hotel and airfares.

We stayed there for a week, last week. We had a King size room with sea view. The room was very good and comfortable. Bit of creaking floor from the room above when people walk around...at 6am. But only noticed on one day. Otherwise quiet room.
Excellently placed for walking into town.
Breakfast was good, in a nice bright dining room.
We ate in twice and food was good, once in the main dining room and the other night in the Curry Room.
Would stay there again. Oh yes must say all the staff were really friendly and helpful. We even got a postcard to home saying thank you for staying.

We stayed in the OGH hotel overnight. The hotel itself was luxurious and had all the amenities you'd expect from a 5 star. Excellent bar, good choice for breakfast, beautiful room. But the main reason for the 5 star review is for the service. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and it was clear that the hotel had many 'regulars' who were greeted as old friends. Such a nice atmosphere. But for me the staff went over and above when I made the silly mistake of leaving my mobile phone in the bar and realising just as I was walking onto the plane to come home! A simple phone call and I was reassured. My phone had been found and the hotel organised for it to be posted back to me special delivery - they even emailed me the tracking number and details so that I knew it was safe. What could have been a frustrating end to a lovely weekend was turned right around. Thank you OGH hotel!

This was our 2nd stay at the Old Government House and it was even more enjoyable than last year.
On arrival the reception staff even remembered our dog’s name which made us feel welcome from the start.
Good selection and quality at breakfast with attentive and professional service.
A special thanks to Andi & Michael who always greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to make our stay special and we had the secure feeling that nothing was too much trouble.
Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Guernsey, for the luxurious hotel of course but more importantly the staff and service.

Lovely hotel and a nice location in the centre of StPeter Port. The food in the brasserie was superb, however the room and bathroom were a little small. Very pleasant staff and although we didn’t have it, the afternoon tea looked delicious.
