We got lucky rang up and got a booking but had 90 mins in order to have our meal as they needed the table later. We were not disappointed it was amazing the wife had homemade lamb and chorizo burger with Parmesan fries it was delicious never tasted a more beautiful burger like this before. Pity it closed early on Sunday as we would of tried again to get in to sample the wonderful menu. It’s closed also on Mondays so best book this place if you can.

This place is the best on the Island! The food, the service, the whole package. The team are so professional yet super friendly. The food is always amazing and I highly recommend their home made ice cream. We make a point of visiting every time we come back and are never disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic, every aspect of the evening was top notch. The staff extremely professional, all the food, and I mean all the food was to Michelin standard, if you are thinking of going don’t hesitate but make sure you book otherwise you are likely to be disappointed. Not expensive considering the quality.

Recently returned from a very pleasant four night stay at this hotel. Couldn't fault the room which was spacious and quiet with an extremely comfortable bed. What struck us most though was the friendliness of the staff and the excellent service. From the moment we arrived to the day we left, staff members were cheerful, helpful and attentive. We decided to eat in the restaurant on the first evening and found both the food and service to be exemplary. So much so, that we returned on the following three evenings! The breakfast experience was equally good. As indicated by other reviewers, due to its location above St Peter Port, the walks to and from the town take a little effort but overall we had a wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate choosing this hotel again on our next visit.

We spent five nights at this hotel and took advantage of the four for five deal. The service was excellent. A warm welcome and lots of thoughtful extras (water at the entrance for runners, help yourself sweeties)
The room was well furnished and the bed very comfortable. No extractor fan in bathroom and the beautiful white fluffy towels need to be given a boil wash to fully freshen.
After the first day we enjoyed the variety of the delicious and varied food at breakfast . Our first cooked breakfast was not as ordered and had to be returned. Good choice of seating in the restaurant with an outdoor option, weather permitting.
We ate in the restaurant twice but were disappointed with the quality of the vegetables on both occasions and the steak was not as ordered.
The front of house made every effort to apologise and compensate for the mistakes of their colleagues in the kitchen but it was too late. There are much better places to eat in St Peter Port where the food is fresher, more varied and cheaper.
Wonderful swimming pool and even provided sunscreen.

Visited as 2 couples, from arriving to leaving the staff at the hotel where extremely attentive and friendly...nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are nicely decorated and beds very comfy. The pool was a nice surprise being heated, fresh towels and sun cream if required. The weather was fabulous whilst we were there so we took advantage of the lovely terrace at the hotel for drinks....Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice but we didn't eat in the hotel although the food looked lovely. We spent the first day in St. Peter's port at the castle which is well worth a visit and day 2 got the ferry to Herm which was beautiful. Enjoyed lunch and a bottle of wine in the sun at the ship pub which is lovely upmarket pub. All in all a relaxing and enjoyable weekend and would definitely return to Guernsey and the Duke of Richmond.

Just got back from a 2 night stay and wished we had booked another night or 2. First impressions count and this smart, clean boutique style hotel wowed us the moment we arrived. The staff were very welcoming and showed us around our excellent room; we were treated to a bottle of champagne as it was a birthday and silver wedding celebration weekend, which was a really nice touch. Whilst dining in the restaurant on the first evening my wife also received a complimentary dessert made up on a plate with a birthday greeting all hand piped in chocolate. The staff throughout our stay at reception, concierge, maids, and all the staff during breakfast and our evening meals were thoroughly professional and really nice to chat to. The food was wonderful, with the cooked breakfast all done to order so very fresh and beautifully cooked as well as a fine selection of continental buffet style breakfasts available. Deluxe afternoon tea on the patio in the the late summer sunshine was a perfect end to our stay. The hotel is located about 10 minutes from St Peters Port sea front and the very quaint old quarter, which is very convenient; it is mostly uphill to get back to the hotel but not too severe. Our luggage was safely stored whilst we went out to make the most of the day, before our taxi back to the airport. We will definitely return for a longer stay next time.

We stayed for our wedding night/honeymoon. The hotel was beautiful, we had a sea view king room with a balcony overlooking St Peter Port. On arrival, the staff had left us some champagne and put rose petals on the bed - this was really thoughtful of them!
We had a fantastic stay, the staff were always attentive, thoughtful and helpful. We made use of the spa and swimming pool. Both of these were well maintained and added to the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel.
Thankyou to everyone at the OGH for a wonderful stay. We felt very well looked after and will definitely be back!

Location ideal for the centre of St Peter Port with bonus of car parking, which is valet operation and works very well. Staff all excellent with just the right degree of friendliness. Hotel packed with old world charm and public rooms a delight to be in. Classic double room compact but extremely comfortable and well equipped. Although room charges high felt the dinner menu prices could be a little more competitive for guests?
