Old Government House Hotel & Spa
Latest Reviews
We were there for a one night winter warmer and must say we couldn’t fault it, we were welcomed at checkin with a nice glass of bubbly then taken to our room which was superb with sea views. My wife made use of the spa where I went to the bar for a quick g&t served by Saul a very friendly and efficient young man but I will say all the staff are superb, went back to the room for a quick shower then back to the bar for another g&t each then dinner in the brassiere which was very good indeed. This is our first actual stay at the hotel but we’ve used it for gin tastings and afternoon tea and absolutely love the place, looking forward to a wine tasting and two more gin tastings.

The location is very good - right in the centre of the town. There are some negatives that go with this, of course, such as none of the rooms being very big (we had a seaview king room) and the need for help with parking if you have a car.
The service was good, but prioritised formality over friendliness.
We had two breakfasts and one dinner - all excellent.
Quite expensive.

Stayed for a single night. Alberto (member as reception team) was brilliant - really friendly and helpful - arranged a few hours late check out at no extra cost.
Brasserie restaurant served great food I specially enjoyed the delicious cheescake yummi.
Really enjoyed my short stay and will be back.

Amazing place to stay. Lovely clean and comfy rooms. Really friendly staff. The food served is always to a very high standard. It's a 30 second walk away from town, which is great! Out of all the hotel's I have stayed in on Guernsey this is definitely my favourite. I highly recommend it. The pool is lovely too, but often full of screaming children in the summer time!

Amazing afternoon tea and very good tea selection. The scones are fantastic as well as the rest. The cakes are made very well with attention to the details. Good service and professional stuff. Unfortunately I can't come often because I'm not from Guernsey.

We were dining with a large party. Service was slow, they took ages to take our order and when the food was served one diner's starter was forgotten about. My main was not great - bones in the fish and the chips were over cooked. Two diners had their sweet forgotten about. To cap it all the waiter opened and served an extra bottle of wine that we had not ordered. We were charged for the whole bottle although they did not serve the whole bottle after their mistake was pointed out to them. This was particularly poor given that there were only s few other tables occupied. Overall - not the standard of food or service I was expecting from this establishment.

Amazing Hotel & Service. Staff is beyond helpful with tips, planning out the day and anything needed. I had several injuries after a skateboard fall and staff helped beyond what they had to. Breakfast is to die for, never had a better granola in life. 😝 Definitely worth the visit.

Welcoming and efficient staff make this charming and beautifully appointed hotel a charming place to stay in Guernsey. The rooms are large, modern and well stocked with all necessary amenities. The view over St Peter Port from the dining room present a wonderful start to the day

The venue looks amazing, deep red walls, pictures and memorabilia of the Raj. It's in the OGH which itself is full of history. The food was ok, the starter was inspiring and we hpyped for more. The mains were standard fare for a curry house and the cheesecake dessert was only ok. That said it wasn't a bad curry but it wasn't worth the £38 price tag before drinks. What really let the venue down was the service. I can manage a lazy meal but we waited 10 minutes to be seated in a room with 6 tables and no other diners. Half an hour for starter and in total nearly three hours to finish eating. There was only one staff member who said people often get angry and walk out. I'm not surprised.

Came for a spa day with afternoon tea included. Spa staff could not have been more attentive. Only dropped a point for the cakes in the afternoon tea. Most of it was great but the cupcake was awful and the carrot cake was very dry. Other than that, really enjoyed it

Undoubtedly a very good hotel, but you would expect it to be for the price. Food very expensive and service patchy (particularly at breakfast - I would expect the table to be set properly and not have to ask for basics such as a butter knife) My big disappointment was the Indian Restaurant (which I was looking forward too) It only offers a very expensive fixed price 3 course menu - if you are older, you may not want 3 courses, so this was ruled out for us.

Just visited on Yorkshire Pudding Day. Wonderful meal, starter of smoked haddock on Yorkshire with poached egg was a real highlight. Roast sirloin of beef served with roasted potatoes another Yorkshire and plenty of vegetables and a rich gravy. I chose the famous cheesecake on the menu, a generous portion served with strawberry and coulis. Combined with fantasticly hospitalable team consisting of Andre and Mario who should have his name badge changed to Super Mario as he was so polite and courteous: Really added to our experience. We will most definitely re visit.

This is a very good hotel with helpful corteous staff in all areas.not the easiest place to find as guernsey is no best signposted and access and parking are a bit iffy.but the location is handy for st peter port front.it is billed as a 5 star hotel and for the most part it lives up to the billing.as such of course it is not the cheapest place you will find.but ambience and general efficiency make it worth while
