Old Government House Hotel & Spa
Latest Reviews
We are traveling from East Riding of Yorkshire to Guernsey via Poole ferries as I write this.
This is the 4th visit for us in a year so that speaks volumes.
On our previous visits to OGH have been wonderful. I had a special birthday there, our wedding anniversary, a Christmas event, and a few family meal/ stays which this 5 ⭐️ hotel was the perfect venue.
It’s truly got to be the best hotel on St Peter Port. I will enclose some photos of our stays and I’m sure you will understand too why it’s the only 5 star hotel on the island.
Beautiful historic building, Gorgeous clean rooms, lovely welcome at reception. Bars, communal rooms ( piano/ music) and stunning restaurant with menu’s to suit any palate.
Unfortunately we left this holiday booking ( July 25 ) too late therefore “no rooms at the Inn”
So lesson learned there! .
We will still visit The old government house for meals and drinks and hopefully get a few day passes to their fantastic pool and spa. I best not forget the Staff! Very attentive, fun, friendly, and most of all very professional. ❤️

I had the most amazing authentic English afternoon tea experience at The Old Government House Hotel & Spa with my fiancé and his mum.
Everything was perfect—from the elegant setting to the beautifully arranged tiered stand of sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats. The tea selection was lovely, and the staff were absolutely amazing—so warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit.
It was such a special and memorable afternoon in a truly charming and historic setting. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to enjoy a proper English afternoon tea in Guernsey. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic evening at the OGH. Delicious seafood platter, brilliant, cocktails, and wonderful service throughout the evening. The staff even created a bespoke coffee with a picture for Tessa my dog. Alessandro and his team five star as always.

We held our wedding at the OGH and couldn’t fault our experience. Planning everything from abroad made it a little more difficult but the events manager, Mel, was exceptional—she made us feel completely at ease and in safe hands from the very start. In the lead-up to the big day, everything from the food tasting to the planning meetings with the team was smooth, professional, and accommodating.
On the day itself, the staff were fantastic—attentive, warm, and seamless in their service. So many of our guests commented on how great the team was. We opted for a three-course meal, which received rave reviews. Everything ran perfectly and exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend the OGH to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue.

Lovely beautiful old building. Went for drinks before dinner.
Be careful though - when ordering a Gordon’s gin and tonic they will charge you for a double Whedons!!! Couldn’t complain because I didn’t want to make a scene. Not impressed I must say!
Rest of the place stunning and as it should be!

Quatre jours de rêve passés dans cet hôtel où chacun contribue à vous donner le meilleur de l’accueil. Chaque souhait est exaucé grâce à Krys qui sait se mettre en quatre pour vous.
Les lieux sont magnifiques et confortables.
Essayez le tea-time, une jolie parenthèse dans un décor feutré. Nous reviendrons assurément dans cet hôtel bienveillant pour poursuivre la visite de l’île.

Under NEW management and great April 2025. Could not fault it, bars and restaurant good, clean accommodation. Above all ALL staff were very professional and genuinely friendly. I joked they put me on the top floor and I was a cardio patient. They offered to move us which I declined and the guy insisted on taking my luggage upstairs. Best place I’ve stayed at ever.

We celebrated our one year wedding anniversary here (after spending our honeymoon at the OGH last year) and once again, we had the most amazing time. We were spoilt with a room upgrade and spa acces. We then had a beautiful dinner with cocktails in the Crown Club, followed by the best sleep in the comfiest of beds. We woke up to a chocolate egg outside our door, as it was also Easter - a lovely touch! A super yummy breakfast, followed by a beautiful afternoon tea... And to top it off, a couples massage! Safe to say, it was the most fabulous 24 hours, and the staff are just the most friendly and helpful we have ever encountered. Big shout out to Kris, Pamela and Christina for making it extra special! We shall see you again next year!

Fabulous cocktail masterclass! Jeffrey was involved but not intrusive. He gave direction but wasn’t overbearing. Fun, relaxed, boozy and a perfect Christmas present to enjoy time with my mum! Thank you Jeffrey - we will be back for the next class soon!

We had an exceptionally perfect stay at this beautiful hotel. The staff greated us like old friends by Chris. We were given sparkling wine on arrival (thank you Stewart) and upgraded to an opulent room facing the sea (room 138).
Stewart gave us loads of tips for Guernsey as it was our first visit.
Breakfast was served in a grand room with a lovely view also. My eggs Florentine may have been the best I've ever had. I can recommend the kedgeree too.
We booked a massage and afternoon tea for my birthday too. Everything was exceptional and we were delighted with some complimentary champagne as we were celebrating my birthday!!!
Each evening as they performed their turndown service, they left us a tasty treat e.g brownies and flapjacks.
We bumped into Chris in town off duty and he was just as friendly and welcoming to us.
If you stay at this hotel you won't be disappointed. It's absolutely beautiful. Like going back in time. Yet it has all the modern amenities. It's very central to the quaint town, bars and restaurants.
I'm sorry not to have remembered other staff names in the breakfast room and lounge but everyone was great. Whatever this hotel is doing to keep it's staff this happy. Please keep doing it
Thank you, thank you, thank you for an incredible experience and stay. We hope to see you all again soon!

We had dinner at the curry room. Coming from South Africa we were expecting it to be good.....but oh my word! It was heavenly! Our waitress was lovely and so helpful! Thank you to Shaminee and Krysta wo also helped make an effort to make sure me and mom would love it!
I will be back at least once a week for a curry now!

An outstanding hotel stay. The staff were incredibly helpful, the service was the best we’ve ever experienced anywhere! Our Queen double room was very comfortable, everything you’d expect at a high quality hotel. The food in the restaurant was outstanding, favourites were the hot and cold seafood platter and fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection. We also had afternoon tea which we thoroughly enjoyed. The wine list is extensive but it is expensive.
The hotel is a five minute walk from the centre of St Peter Port, ideal for shopping and exploring the island by bus.
A thoroughly enjoyable five night break.

We had the brasserie lunch and it was wonderful- the service was outstanding. It was my daughter’s birthday and she was treated like a princess! The staff - Alexandro in particular, but everyone was lovely- could not have done more for us.

We attended the cocktail-making class at (I believe in George's bar) for a birthday celebration, and it was a fantastic experience! Shaminee, our instructor, was absolutely superb. She not only taught us how to make delicious cocktails but also made the entire experience incredibly enjoyable and fun. Her knowledge and enthusiasm truly made the class special. The cocktails were also absolutely delicious! We tried to replicate Shaminee's cocktail making but she's in a class of her own. We were also served snacks for the class which were also stunning! The salmon and the crab were so fresh and tasty!
Shaminee is a real asset to the hotel, providing excellent customer service and personalising the experience for each of us. The hotel itself is beautiful, and although we didn't stay overnight, the ambiance and the exceptional service from the staff made a strong impression. I would love to return and stay in the future based on what I saw.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to have a great time while learning something new!
