Over the weekend my husband and I visited the Curry Room at the OGH for my birthday and our wedding anniversary and we simply had a fantastic time. The food was delivious, the wine was gorgeous and the ambiance of the room was sophisticated and comfortable. Our waite Wyne was incredibly attentive and made our evening very special indeed - Thank you!

Wonderfully situated hotel in St Peter Port, with excellent views and a peaceful, calm aura. Rooms are spacious and exceptionally comfortable. Decoration is on the eccentric side, but everything in the room was high quality—especially welcome was the plush bathrobe.
However, the thing that makes this hotel so very special is the staff (some will get missed out, but they really all were fabulous). Ranga, the Concierge in charge when we arrived, was fabulously cheery, very helpful and possibly the world’s strongest man (sorry again for bringing so many funny shaped bags). Irma on reception was warm and informative. Housekeeping, who made sure our room was spotless everyday, thank you to you all, too—the nightly turndown service, with little midnight snacks, were a lovely touch.
But the standout was the very thoughtful and instinctive Siya, who attended to us at breakfast, and went above and beyond to ensure I could enjoy a meal in The Curry Room without having to worry about my peanut allergy for once. He took such care, even down to ensuring he’d cleaned his hands every time he came to our table. Amazing customer service and a lovely, warm person to speak to, too. I actually should also thank Chef Nolan for creating a couple of new nut-free dips that night, too. The lime and coriander raita was divine, as was the sweet chilli sauce. Also, thank you to Paul and Govind for also helping to make us feel extra special that evening!
All in all, a lovely hotel to stay in, where guests are treated like honoured friends, and the food is generous and delicious. We’ll definitely stay again.

We headed to the Curry Room for a date night before our next baby, and had the most wonderful evening. The curries were delicious, we especially enjoyed being able to try a selection so many things on the menu with some lovely extra touches.
The service was exceptional, we were looked after by Siya and 'service with a smile' doesn't do him justice. He was fantastic and made the evening really special. Thank you!

An exceptional five star hotel with unparalleled service. I had booked into the Duke of Richmond hotel and due to renovation work was relocated here. Rooms are small but well appointed. The food is fantastic. We had dinner one night in the Governor's dinning room. It was an exceptional India meal. It's an expensive spot but definitely memorable.

We had a voucher for a wine tasting evening, the staff, particularly Wyne, were attentive, knowledgeable and so engaged and friendly. We would highly recommend this experience!! Ask to be served in the wine tasting room on booking if you are a small/intimate party. 110% effort even thought it was just 2 of us and we were paying both voucher.

My husband and I went for a meal last night at the OGH as we had a gift voucher for three courses each with wine. The food was beautiful, and the service was perfect. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and very willing to take a photo of us! I can’t have wine and they were very accommodating (I had advised in advance). The only shame is how quiet it was there (although we appreciated that!).

I cannot begin to tell you how absolutely amazing the staff are in The OGH. I’ve never experienced anything like it!
Everyone was so helpful and cheerful. They couldn’t do enough for you.
As soon as you walk into reception and are greeted by front of house you feel incredibly welcome.
Byron in the restaurant was exemplary- what a star!
I feel terrible but I didn’t catch the barman’s name - but he quietly took such care and pride in producing his cocktails for us each evening. A credit to the hotel.
The rooms were serviced brilliantly twice a day. The staff who carried it out were always lovely and cheerful.
Red Carnation have the service totally spot on!

We stayed here over Christmas and the staff were exceptional!
I’ve stayed at numerous five-star hotels around the world - the Ritz-Carlton’s, the Mandarin Oriental’s, the Park Hyatt’s of this world - and I can say the service was on par with, and in some cases better than, those properties. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. They make you feel like you’re the owner of the hotel.
The hard product is also really good even if the decor isn’t typically what I’d go for. The bed was really comfortable, the room was super quiet (even overlooking the street), and they have really fast wifi if you’re working remotely.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Guernsey.

Stayed for 4 nights in early December on a shopping sightseeing trip from the Mainland. Meals were excellent , even though drinks rather overpriced. All staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for you.
We had a Queen room which was well equipped but rather small. The bathroom had a separate shower which is always a plus but sadly no toiletries were near the bath, so if shampoo was needed whilst having a bath one had to get out and go to shower.
There was also a blue light in the bathroom which we never discovered how to turn it off, so it was always on even throughout the night.
Rooms over the function rooms can also be a little noisy at night.
Over all a good experience but, allowing non assist dogs in the main eating areas is a no no for me. Sorry.

Stayed for 4 nights, food excellent, staff brilliant. We had a lovely room with sea view, immaculately clean, nightly turn down service was an extra treat. Excellent choice at breakfast including GF options, hubby particularly loved the kedgeree, wife the scrambled egg and salmon. Afternoon tea was splendid in the cosy lounge area. All staff were excellent in every department on every occasion. We will be returning. If you plan on using the spa book ahead. The daily service charge was well deserved by all the wonderful staff

My wife loves a hotel with sumptuous fabrics, deep pile carpets and old world charm, but not in a fuddy duddy-ish way. Sadly, she wasn't with me on this trip as she would have loved this hotel. The hotel is relatively small, beautifully done up and interesting, tucked away in a side street. My room was small but very nice - plush but in a non-overbearing way (with a 1920s vibe) and with a sea view. The bar was small and atmospheric with great cocktails, and the breakfast was excellent (think homemade granola, fresh berries and fruit and nuts and seeds). To top it all off, the staff were professional, efficient and welcoming.
Very much a 5* experience!

NOT a 5* experience I’m afraid.
The TV in our room broke after a few hours and wasn’t able to be fixed for the duration of our stay.
There was a large rust patch IN the Bath!
Early morning paper never arrived!
Lock on room was faulty and we consequently locked out of our room.
On the positive side the staff were attentive at all times. And the breakfast meals were very tasty.
All in all VERY disappointing and NOT the 5* experience we had hoped for:(

We had a double room which was really lovely and a great ensuite. This is such a great hotel because as well as being so centrally located and within walking distance of most of St Peter Port the staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them. Been a while since we have been here due to Covid but will be back again.

The OGH’s reputation as the iconic, go to hotei in St Peter Port meant we arrived in Guernsey with great excitement and even greater expectations. These were exceeded. Being greeted with a glass of Prosecco on arrival got our trip off to a great start. Location is perfect with key attractions in easy walking distance. Food and drink of very high standard - having breakfast Al fresco each day under the expert care of restaurant manager Alessandro gave us particular pleasure. Room very well appointed. But the jewel in the crown is the staff - wonderful, attentive and courteous service in all settings. In summary a great Hotel that we look forward to returning to.

Popped in for drinks as a lack of decent outdoor establishments in St Peter's port (too many were road side). We were staying at the sister hotel D of R.
Friendly service. Good Italian wine. Disappointed in champagne offering.
