I travelled back to Guernsey for a long overdue reunion with my very good friends. I decided to book my friend and I into OGH as this place held a certain nostalgia for us. Upon arrival the room was not ready, it was mid morning so I was surprised, but I took a seat as requested, I was pretty much the only patron and no one came to offer me a drink or give me an update on the room. I had to chase several times for either, one of the biggest challenges was to find someone.
The room was ok but not the standard I would expect. I used the spa which was good, the lady who did my treatments was very good. The service we had from their long serving head of customer relations was excellent as we always remembered. It was tennerfest (an excellent time to sample the delicious fayre that the island has to offer) the menu offered by OGH was rather below par, particularly when compared to the other exciting menus on offer across the island.
I must admit that breakfast was excellent and some of the staff, those who typically had worked on cruise ships prior to taking the position, performed well.
The location is really great, being a short walk from the hotel into St Peter Port. The grounds are beautiful and on a summers day sitting outside is simply marvellous.
Red Carnation have really done nothing to enhance this property and if anything the soul of the place seems to have been a casualty of their renovation. I'll be returning to Guernsey but sadly not to the OGH.

Charming room. before the trip the staff asked me what i w would need in the room, neck support pillow, etc + an executive car transfer from the airport. dedicated staff help me to find my place of meeting arranging taxi for me, suggesting places to visit. here you are not a room number! i forgot the cable of my computer's hard disk and they kindly mail it to my home.

A review of three parts:-
Food was great, really tasty, reasonable value for money and would thoroughly recommend - food alone this would be a 5 star review
Service was slow, appreciate it was saturday night at the busiest time but still slower than normal/expected which links to and brings us onto point 3
Restaurant was far to busy imo in these covid times, was not a spare space/seat, we sat in a section of the resturaunt that had 4 circular booths, all full and i was virtually back to back with the guy on the table to the side/behind, 2 of these tables on the diagonal to each other should have not been used to ensure adequate distance. Around the rest of the restaurant fairly cheap and narrow pop up flimsy screens had been positioned that werent as wide as the tables but given how busy it was im not sure how effective these would be.
Overall my impression is that the restaurant was far to full and far to busy, understand that money has to be made especially given how the industry has suffered but feel this restaurant is currently pushing the limits of safety. We were away last week and eat out in 5 restaurants over 4 days where we were staying with little concern until coming home and eating here.
While the food was great I wouldn't go back at present until we are in different times.

Your food was amazing, as always! I’ve had takeaway from you in the past, but the first time eating in the restaurant. It was so relaxing and we were looked after very well. Nothing was too much trouble. We will return very soon. Thank you for a lovely evening.
