On a recent day trip return to Guernsey after some forty years we made a short lunch time visit to the OGH for drinks, I must reiterate that this was only for drinks however I am delighted to say that the Hospitality bit had not deserted the OGH. The hotel is wonderfully arranged in what I would describe as Chic Opulence the staff were equally well presented with an easy attentive presence, we thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit and plan to make a return with more available time in which to sample more of the hotels offerings.

I took my mum to the OGH in May for 4nights and it did not disappoint!
The hotel is expensive but you definitely get what you pay for!!
The staff were all amazing and couldn't do enough for you!
The food was amazing- especially breakfast.
If I went back to St. Peter's port, I definitely wouldn't stay anywhere else!

I was impressed by the sheer number of antiques in the ODG.The ambiance was fantastic. The hotel had areal old world classy feel. The temperature of the outdoor pool was equivalent to bath water but the best thing about the hotel was the staff. They were amazingly helpful and well informed.

I have just returned from another visit during Town Carnival. I like to thank everyone for organizing the Caribbean Night with Tropikal Vizions. The music and the barbecue was a big success.
All the employees worked very hard and I think you are the best staff I have ever met, very efficient and friendly. Dear Mr. Chantrell I hope you will let everyone know. Thank you.
From the arrival until departure I was really spoiled from breakfast to lunch, dinner and drinks at the bar. The quality of the food in the Brasserie Restaurant was excellent. I like the lamb curry best, I even had it twice.
As mentioned before you are really "my home away from home".
See you again next year.

Our 3 nights here were not enough! We loved this place; from the amazing welcome at reception to our check out all the staff excelled themselves - nothing was too much trouble, as guests we felt as if we were the most special residents there!
Breakfast, both from quality and choice perspective was outstanding, and we had one of our best ever Indian meals in the Curry room. The hotel is elegant, very attractive with a lovely pool area, we can't think of anything detrimental to say about the place.
We stayed in room 204, and although one of the 'cheaper' rooms we had a lovely harbour and sea view, and although small had all the facilities you'd expect from a hotel of this standard.
The hotel is a short (uphill!) walk from the harbour and town - hopefully we will return to this wonderful island, and when we do we would without doubt stay again at the OGH.

This is such a lovely hotel, full of history yet luxurious, a friendly family feel with impeccable service. Dining in the garden or the restaurant is a great experience- breakfasts, afternoon teas, dinner in either the Indian dining room or main restaurant is superb. The chateaubriand was the best we had ever tasted! Just love this hotel and the team there

This was our second stay at OGH. Sadly, whilst our visit was very enjoyable we didn’t feel it matched our previous experience which was perfection. We had one or two issues that left us feeling disappointed. Firstly, we asked reception at OGH if they could arrange a taxi to collect us from the airport a week before we arrived and we’re told none were available! We googled taxis in Guernsey and on our second telephone call arranged a taxi!! Secondly, on the second day our room hadn’t been cleaned by 3.30pm in the afternoon. This is the first time in a five star hotel that we’ve experienced this. In fact, we had to ask for the room to be cleaned ourselves!Lastly, my wife was disappointed because she mentioned that our visit was to celebrate my birthday and previously OGH had made some nice gestures to make it a special occasion. No effort was made. Sadly, we just felt our visit to OGH did not match our previous experience and left underwhelmed.

Stayed here for business for a night. Location is excellent for St Peter Port centre. If you are expecting Dubai 5* it’s not but it’s the best I have stayed at on the Island. If you like friendly, not stuck up but good quality then you will be fine.

From the moment we arrived at OGH the professionalism and friendliness of the staff was immediately apparent. In fact, we have never received such a warm welcome. The staff are simply all wonderful.
Ula on reception was SO friendly and professional. Her smile is contagious.
Roberto was always very helpful and attentive and sorted out restaurant bookings and anything else we needed immediately.
Alessandro in the restaurant was wonderful too. Attentive, friendly and professional.
We could continue to name names but there are simply too many…..
The hotel itself has wonderful views and gardens. When the sun shines it is a pleasure to sit outside having breakfast and lie by the pool soaking up the sun.
Public rooms are well appointed and have individual style and character. It’s certainly not run of the mill decor.
Food in the Brasserie was good. However it would be nice to see more Guernsey fish and shellfish on the menu. The cocktails were even better!!
Our bedroom was large and had great views of the sea. The decor reflects the rest of the hotel and is individual and characterful.
Overall it was a wonderful stay - the hotel is beautiful outside and in. However it really was the staff that made our stay. They go the extra mile and if anything is wrong they go out of their way to rectify immediately.
We enjoyed it so much, we are back again next week for another 5 days!!
