We booked for balcony (sea view) room but when we got there we were upgraded to bigger room (so beautiful and spacious!). All staff are friendly and nothing is too small or difficult for them to satisfy us - as we have also been to the other Red Carnation Hotels - we kind of know the routine but different location different welcome - So much so we will be going there again so see the rest of Islands - Sark etc

Stayed for just one night with friends from the USA. The welcome by Ani was excellent and very professional, and we enjoyed the history and tour of the hotel. Both of our rooms were spotless and very comfortable with views of the port. Unfortunately we had to leave the hotel on the Sunday morning for a flight back to the UK at an earlier time than we had hoped so the breakfast service was disappointing. Although the dining room was open from 7.30am the buffet was incomplete and cooked breakfasts were not available until after 8am so our meal was very hurried. The dinner on the previous evening was very good indeed and the service excellent. We would hope to stay again in the near future.

I flipped a coin and the Duke of Richmond lost. Approaching this hostelry without any preconceived ideas was a little daunting. The welcome at reception was friendly and competent. A free upgrade was made available which was very well received as I was feeling under the weather and desperate for a break from the office. The upgrade was not requested but it did make all the difference to me. The duty manager (Andi) displayed a level of competence and customer care which was truly astonishing and way ahead of any previous experience (in other hotels) irrespective of cost. The room was supremely comfortable, the brasserie expertly staffed providing a good menu and wine list and the bars properly stocked. I always use one of the sister hotels in London (The Milestone) and when I visit Guernsey in the future this is the only hotel which I will use.

This is a gorgeous hotel on a beautiful island. My room was very small but adequate and beautifully furnished. Dining at the hotel was expensive however Paul, the superb pianist and vocalist, well and truly MADE the experience.

We've stayed at this hotel on several occasions & on each time they have been very helpful especially in booking restaurants suitable for evening business meetings. The hotel is well situated, just a very short walk into town. The breakfast is superb. My only complaint is they use 2 tea bags to make the earl grey tea which is far too strong, but this is a very minor issue. It's a great place to stay & we will return.

The hotel is great, the staff friendly and the views from our room,when it was clear, lovely. The bedroom was well appointed and so was the bathroom. The only drawback was the size of the kettle whenot making both teams and coffee. All in all a very good experience. One tip if you are driving - go to reception and let them park your car! It is not cheap. We were warned that the was a wedding reception below, but thick curtains blocked out the noise so we werecommend not disturbed.

First visit here and after a minor hiccup with the room which was sorted very quickly we had a very enjoyable stay here. Our thanks to Marie and her team on the front desk for sorting this with a smile. Our room was spacious, very comfortable and immaculate as was the whole hotel. We had great views over St Peter Port from our balcony which had electric windows! Restaurant meals excellent and a special mention to Ken who was charming and his team who were friendly and efficient. The breakfast also should not be missed. This hotel is and ideal base for exploring Guernsey as only a stones throw from the buses which are an excellent way to tour the island and very cheap, you can go round the whole island for just £1. There are many super places to visit on this lovely island and we will no doubt be back again sometime.

My wife and I were in Guernsy for our son's wedding and spent a week at the OGH. Our room was very comfortable, quiet and well appointed. We liked the whole ambience of the hotel, and the service was outstanding. The OGH also organised a pre-wedding reception for our guests, all of whom were very complimentary about the setting and the food. We will definitely return.

Located in the centre of St Peter Port, friendly staff on welcome arrival, rooms were clean and decor unusual and more of a Period style than modern, rooms were quiet even in the front of the hotel, not much view from front elevation but very acceptable. Beds Comfy although a bit small as used to king size bed normally could be considered a bit cramped. Pool was heated and a nice tempreture this was a bonus on a cloudy day. Breakfast choice was good, fruit cereal, yoghurt, berries as well as usual cooked breakfast and plenty of tea and coffee. St Peter Port is pretty with plenty of restaurants and good shops all in close proximity of the hotel. Beware! the towns streets can be very steep and if you have difficulty walking maybe you should seek advice, I am quite fit so getting around was no problem for me. To sum up great hotel in a excellent location true 5* hotel. I enjoyed my stay here.

Quite possibly the best starter I’ve ever had. Caesar salad with King Prawns, Crispy Bacon and pickled Quail’s Eggs - perfection. Rest of the food was great too.
Lovely, friendly atmosphere- will return
