We were made to feel very welcome at OGH. The staff are very focussed on their customers and strive for an excellent experience for guests. They are always helpful, smiling, attentive and well presented. The building is historic and beautiful, with many lovely details. We booked a large room (which would have been very nice) but were kindly upgraded to the Sark suite, which was superb. The bed was very comfortable, the towels new and of excellent quality, and the bath supplies all from L'Occitane.
Breakfast was delicious and afternoon tea a great experience. Lovely food and an endless supply of excellent tea.
The hotel is very well located in the centre of St Peter's Port and it is easy to walk along the coast from there, or to excellent restaurants like Le Petit Bistro.

We had a lovely weekend at the OGH 6.3.15-8.3.15. The staff are so skilfully trained and the crab sandwiches were amazing. The breakfast was perfect and as always Harry was there to greet us. This was our 6th visit and it just gets better, thank you.

This is a beautifully maintained hotel in the heart of St Peter Port; traditional but in a modern way. Afternoon tea is set in a cosy, classy and charming lounge. The experience was great and the service, china, silverware all make it a special occasion. If I am truthfull the food was just so so. Slightly dull sandwiches-ham, egg mayonnaise for example; the scones were poor-my wife said she would have not allowed them to go out of the kitchen-heavy/overcooked and the cakes were insipid/uninspiring. The patisserie chef needs to up his game and management should "sample the wares". However it was a lovely experience there.

We stayed at OGH recently for our wedding anniversary. We know the hotel well and knew it was a lovely place to stay - comfy rooms, nice food, great gym, bikes to borrow and high levels of good old fashioned service from the fantastic staff.
But I asked them to arrange a couple of special little touches (I needed the brownie points!). Some dancing lessons and a cookery course. Well - Dale the Guest Experience Manager took on the challenge! I just expected referrals to local schools - not a bit of it! Pascal - the Hotels Executive Chef ran a personal fish cooking course for us - awesome - he's French and certainly loves butter!. Personalised Chef's whites even appeared. Dale ran us to the other side of the island (twice) to our dancing classes. So we can now muddle round a ballroom floor without looking too clumsy. And at the end even a little personalised keepsake photo album
We went to OGH knowing it was a lovely place to stay on a delightful island. We came away having never felt so spolit in a hotel - and we have stayed in some good ones. The team made us feel so special - a truly memorable trip.

Following a decision made with my wife that we wanted to celebrate my 60th Birthday with 30 close friends and family, on Friday the 20th of March 2015, we had an initial meeting with Sam who was representing the Events Team. Sam could not have been more helpful and we eventully opted to have use of the Dalrymple function Room which is located just off Reception. We also decided to stay the night.
We were provided with various options in terms of canapes, menus and wine for the evening event. After careful decisions, we made our choices. On the day, we checked in to the hotel at about 3.30pm and went to our room. The accomodation was well appointed and immaculate. A handwritten welcoming card was placed by a small birtthday cake. What a fabulous touch.
Our party started at 6. 45pm with a our group being offered pre dinner drinks and canapés. The three course meal was incredible and served by attentive but not over bearring staff under the direction of Harry, the General Manager, whose attention to detail was extraordinary. Nothing was too much trouble for him or his team.
The function finished at about 11.30 and our friends and family made their way home singing the praises about their fabulous experience at the OGH.
We retired to our comfortable room, elated as to how the party had gone.
After a good night's sleep we enjoyed a superb breakfast in the Brasserie.
Sincere thanks to Sam, Harry and all the staff who looked after us. You made my birthday a really special day. Thank you so much.

We recently stayed for 3 nights as a quiet getaway and the hotel far exceeded our expectations. The staff went way beyond what was expected with great attention to detail. The food was excellent. The suite we had was excellent with great views, albeit a little tired..
We will certainly return soon.
Most visitor attractions are not open till after Easter but we still found lots to do.

Nice touch by the OGH last week, I received a room upgrade and a nice gift for International Women's Day. They even arranged a gift for my male colleague's daughter. When we got stuck for an additional night, thanks to the weather, they made sure we were well looked after and even provided a meeting room so we could work.

Spent an enjoyable long weekend here. The staff are all excellent. Our particular room was far too warm and the aircon could not lower the temperature enough. The gym hours are odd, the weekend hours are very limited. The lounge is off limits in the afternoon as it is used for afternoon tea. Food in the restaurant was first class.

This really is a hidden gem on the beautiful island of Guernsey! Impeccable service from the moment we arrived. We were booked for afternoon tea, and they were very accommodating with the vegetarian option (myself being vegetarian). However we had a late dinner in the MDR in the evening, and I was a bit shocked to find there was only one vegetarian option for the main course on the menu. So, I went with this option, and was a little bit disheartened to find that it was simply a pasta in a tomato sauce sort of dish. I have been to a few restaurants and often find there is more than one option. The dessert was great, but I just thought a hotel of this caliber may have been a bit more inventive with their evening menu. I understand being vegetarian is not as common as I would hope, therefore the menu is catered mainly for people who enjoy a steak. I'm sorry OGH, but this was the only let down; An alternative option on the menu would be great. The hot breakfast was a a traditional fry up without the meat, there were no alternatives, for example, vegetarian sausages. I would definitely stay there again if I know the options for vegetarian diners have been improved!
