I have stayed at this hotel many times and I cannot fault it.The staff are very helpful and friendly and the rooms are beautifully presented. The hotel is a very short walk down into St Peter Port town. For those who are less able on their feet it is an uphill walk back, though not too strenuous. The OGH has a lovely pool (open from April through to October) which is sheltered from any breeze. Towels and comfortable loungers are provided. From the rear of the hotel, above the pool you have a great view of the neighbouring islands. There is a relaxed atmosphere in the bar area where the staff are only too willing to serve you. The menus are very varied and dining can take place in the elated brasserie or more formal Governers restaurant.
Overall I would recommend this hotel as the best on the island and is perfect for a romantic break or business conference. There is also a well set out gym for those of a more active persuasion.

but I must say that the OGH was an excellent place to stay. The staff were so helpful and friendly without being at all pushy, intrusive or stuffy. They made the hotel feel really warm and welcoming and a great place to relax and enjoy the many things to do on the island. The food was good, ( especially the taster menu in the Governor's Dining Room), the room had a great view over the harbour and the islands of Herm and Sark and was very comfortable and they kept leaving us chocolates in the room. I suppose I should balance this out with something negative...but can't really think of anything...sorry.

We have just returned home after a 4 night stay at the OGH with brother and sister in law. They have stayed before but it was our first time. We thought the hotel and views were stunning but it was the entire staff that really made our stay. They could not do enough for us, we were treated like royalty. We were very impressed that they remembered our name every time we saw them. Also a big thank you to Gino and Keith in the bar for looking after us. We will certainly go back.

Took my daughter, sister and niece for champagne afternoon tea and it was delicious. Service was rather slow and we did have to ask a couple of times for our tea etc however, i would definitely recommend it. It's a lovely setting and the best afternoon tea in Guernsey.

My wife & I just spent a long weekend at OGH, our first visit. Everything from arrival to departure was top rate. All the staff we encountered were extremely well trained, efficient, friendly & polite. The breakfast was very good, except for those two old bugbears, the eggs being overdone in the Eggs Benedict & the scrambled eggs. The barstaff were able to produce an acceptable gin martini, although on our first evevning they had run out of olives... The selection of gins was rather limited. These are minor quibbles. The room was well appointed (real coffee & cafetiere, top marks for that) & very nice, although the huge bed took up a lot of the room. The toiletries were of a high quality. The shower booth in the bathroom was very small, but there was also a hand hold shower in the bath. We would highly recommend the hotel, especially if you can get a special deal (we got 3 nights for the price of 2). The view from the hotel is very nice & its location very convenient for the town centre.

My wife & I firstvisited Guernsey 60 years ago, but this was our first visit to Old Government House and we were not disappointed. The staff were excellent, always polite and friendly. Food and accommodation could not be faulted. This may have been our first visit to OGH, but hopefully it will not be our last.

Stayed here a few times and have never had any problems. Staff are always helpful and hotel is clean and tidy. I never feel like I'm getting value from the hotel this time was no exception as it was more than I would usually pay for a London hotel.
I ate in the restaurant which very nice. Good service and good food.
The location is actually pretty good, just a short walk up the hill from the high-street.
I've rated it average, because there isn't a "Good" category and I don't think its Really Good.
