I meant to review this ages ago but have only just got around to it. We stayed in June for our 10th wedding anniversary and it was an absolute joy. The staff are kind and attentive - we'd mentioned it was our anniversary and they left cake in our room for us when we got back one evening! In particular Nelly (I think - apologies if I misremembered her name) on the front desk was a real delight - she was chatty, friendly and gave us great recommendations for our stay. The room was nice and comfortable, the interior beautiful throughout. One evening we had a party and had hired out a small section of the bar for our guests and the staff were very accommodating. The location is great - it's in a quiet spot at the top of the town with nice views, with all the St Peter Port sites within walking distance. You can also catch buses from just around the corner to other parts of the island. I only have two very minor issues: for a five-star hotel the pool was a little small (though nice), and also one morning we experienced very poor service at breakfast. I think it was just a one-off, but we waited half an hour just to order! We had plans that day so ended up rushing through breakfast as a result. The next day, though, it was perfect, and the food itself was great.

A very old style hotel as you’d expect. The classic room was small as was the double bed. Staff were great and lovely breakfast room and garden to eat in if weather permits. At £202/ night I’d say it was not really VFM. Nice ish gym and spa - all massages were booked so you should Pre book them. Smart Indian restaurant as well as Brasserie but didn’t try them. Very near the Tapestry museum and crown court which is well worth a visit!

Like in British movies. Nice building and garden, original architecture, very friendly staff. We enjoyed the sunny summer weather and the many flowers around us. In downtown. We liked this hotel very much!

I'm a difficult old s** to please but the Old Government House ticked every box during our long weekend stay in Guernsey.
From a lovely welcome when we arrived early from the airport, guided tour by the concierge (think it was Roberto) a comfortable room and variety of spaces to eat, drink and relax throughout the hotel, we were made to feel completely at home.
Also some nice touches like the curry room restaurant, a small spa and gym plus an outdoor heated pool, the facilities provided everything we could have wanted.
Located on the edge of St Peter Port town centre, so also very convenient.
Topping it off, staff throughout the hotel were fantastic and looked after us faultlessly.
5 stars in every respect - will be back.

If you want to see how a hotel should be run then come to OGHH in Guernsey.
We had stayed at many hotels on this 6 week trip but nothing can compare to this amazing hotel. We were to spend four nights here but this was cut to 3 when we were left in Jersey with no accommodation due to a ferry cancellation ( take note as this happens a lot).
This stay was the best of anywhere we stayed & have stayed. We have stayed in many of the Red Carnation hotels but feel this is the best of them.
Following a check in & glass of bubbly we had a lovely tour of the hotel with Roberto( who was a great friend by the end of the stay - a great asset) & then to our spectacular room. I don't think there is anything that this hotel can do better.
The room was spotless ,classy & contained everything we could hope for & more. Items used were quickly replaced & lovely individual treats were left each night. Towels, toiletries, tea, coffee all plentiful & top notch.
If there was anywhere in the world we would love to return to it would be here! That may not be possible but we will always remember our time here!

In January 2014, Alvea G said about Crown Club
We've been in on a couple of occasions both for coffee during the afternoon in the beautifully lit conservatory and also on an evening for drinks in the Crown Club. This is the newer part to the hotel, which some may not be familiar with. Which is a shame because it's beautiful! Brass bar, extensive alcohol selection, and very friendly attentive staff (we had one pleasurable encounter with a young english bartender who made our time there just that extra bit special, she definitely made us want to return!) To receive this attention as just a passing guest and not a resident of the hotel was just lovely, yes you may pay extra for this type of detail but its unlike anywhere else on the Island.

I am "local", and a few friends and I who normally meet up for a coffee on Saturday morning decided to go to the OGH for a change, based on photos by another friend on Facebook.
We wended our way through this distinguished hotel to the Crown Club, where we were immediately made welcome and also knew that our ever need was being attended to.Very comfortable, I like the old-style, almost "colonial" feel to the hotel. We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning and left feeling refreshed and invigorated!

This is a great venue for a cocktail or two. Keith is very welcoming and knowledgeable. He mixed a great chocolate martini and classic champagne cocktail.
The food menu is simple and perfect for the setting. Try the lobster roll!Thank you for making Dex so welcome too!
