A brief visit to Guernsey lead us to the OGH and exactly the break we needed. This is a proper 5 star hotel, luxurious, relaxed and welcoming. The food in both the Curry Room and the Brasserie was exceptional, whilst the fabulaous breakfast kept me happy well into the day. A special mention for Paul on the piano is required for the way he added to the evening atmosphere - thank you Paul.
Thank you too to all the staff who made our stay a memorable one, but certainly not our last at this great hotel.

Service and attention to detail was exceptional, the staff couldn't do enough for us. We were made to feel very welcome. The room was stylish and comfortable, the en-suite bathroom was fitted out to a high specification.

We stayed in a superior room with a sea view which was very luxurious with fab finishing touches. The breakfast was a very high standard and the service from the welcome at the reception to the restaurant and also from housekeeping was exceptional. It was my husbands birthday during our stay...we didn't tell anyone but when we returned to our room there was a small birthday cake waiting for him (the cards gave it away!!).

We came to Guernsey for a short 3 day break. We booked this hotel based on the reviews but did not expect it to necessarily be one of the main parts of the holiday. However, this hotel was so incredible that we very much enjoyed spending time there and taking in its beautiful surroundings. We tend to drop our bags and spend most of our holidays out and about exploring. On this occasion, we did not follow our pattern. Out of the three days we were in Guernsey we spent one whole day in the hotel - the morning and afternoon were spent by the pool and the evening in the garden and restaurant. The hotel, the building, the rooms, the restaurant, the bars, the garden, the pool are all incredible and drenched in history and class. I cannot end this review without saying an incredible thank you to all the staff. They made us feel very special and our visit was all the more incredible for it. We would highly recommend this hotel to everyone we know and we would only stay there on our return trip to Guernsey.

Thanks so much to the Old Government House hotel. Service was so wonderful: I was running the Guernsey Marathon and the room was fit for a Queen! When I When On arrival I got a personal call in my room from the Manager to ask if I had any special requests for the room or breakfast very polite and considerate. Another really lovely touch was a card from the hotel wishing me "Good Luck" in the marathon which I still have here at home ! Very sweet.
I could not believe it when I switched on the TV and it had my name personalised on the screen!! it had lots of movies available including latest releases and the sound and picture were like being at a movie in a big cinema.
The views form the Dining Room were exquisite and each room is full of beautiful regency style furniture. Truly a Royal experience ! There were beautiful quaint little dogs on the cushion covers too and lots of old fashioned sweets very gorgeous and newspapers to help yourself to in the breakfast room.
The breakfast room had everything on offer one could possibly imagine or desire a huge range from masses of cereals to pancakes and different eggs full English and anything one could wish for! There were piles of fresh fruit like blackberries and blueberries which I ate with cream at breakfast so healthy and yummy and what I most wanted.
Beautiful views of the coast from the bedrooms. Very central to St. Peter Port amenities but also a great view from the hill top.
I loved the artwork in the bedrooms, mine were Surrealist Dali style twinkly horses just perfect!!
The bubble bath and special gorgeous spa salts and I soaked in that for a long time.
What a wonderful hotel. Thankyou ! Staff always on hand and keen to help and show you to your room! Room service come round to arrange the room and bring papers in the evening. I felt like I was in an Agatha Christie novel or part of the Royal Family. This and one other hotel are my all time favourites.

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights in mid-summer. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, to the point that they had gone out and purchased a box of Maltesers at my request so they were on the bed when we arrived.

It's a nice hotel in a town with limited accommodation options. That may be why it is expensive. The staff are excellent though and work hard to ensure top quality service. Reception, porter and concierge were top drawer. They offer free valet parking & good advice about places to eat in town.
Hotel rooms are fine but they are small (& not cheap).
Also they have a nice bar & good views

The quality of service is amazing. Without exception every member of the hotel staff we met were friendly, courteous and above all eager to please. If you transplanted the staff to any other average hotel it would transform the experience to an enjoyable one.
The OGH is in a great location and just a two minute walk to the main shopping street.
Breakfast was good and the one meal we took in the Brasserie was excellent. All extras like teas, coffees and alcoholic drinks were surprisingly reasonable; £2.50 for a pot of tea.
It's a quirky building with multiple extensions over time which makes it more interesting than a modern box hotel. The furnishings are traditionally elegant and comfortable. Other reviews have mentioned that the hotel is a bit worn in places. We had one of the suites and the walls are covered in fabric which had dark patches caused by the air conditioning vents. It's hard not to notice this when you first walk in but the other qualities of the hotel and service soon make this superficial and irrelevant.
We found the bed a bit firm but housekeeping added a mattress topper and it was comfy thereafter.
