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 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, 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.

My friend and I enjoyed a beautiful afternoon tea. We sat in the garden and were waited on by a lovely man, Siya, who could not do enough to help us. Everything about the afternoon was lovely. Siya made sure the fizz was topped up and had a laugh with us, whilst still being professional! Thank you!

Our stay was just two nights and we were using our own car. The only issue here is the cad park, it’s chaos but managed well - it’s a tiny space but it seems most places out here, in the Port, suffer with parking. The hotel has you believing it’s ‘old’ England, a very Victorian feel and in places, quirky.

The room we had was OK, it was tired and not well equipped but it was clean and satisfactory especially because the staff here are probably equal to the most helpful and professional we’ve experienced anywhere else, and we travel a lot! You’re made to feel welcome and valued; service is top class.

We always judge a place by deciding if we’d return; we’ll I’m pleased to say we would, gladly.

Excellent 5* hotel
First Class old style service
Staff are a credit to the hotel
Food vert good
Surroundings ideal for what we wanted.
The only downside is the walk up the hill to the hotel from the harbour it is only 500mtrs approx but it is very steep.
That being said the views from our room and patio areas are excellent.
If you want luxury staying here will not disappoint

We spent a week at this hotel in June. On the positive side the hotel is in a great location and the staff are wonderful. On the other hand our room was rather tired - trouser press hanging off the wall, the shower was just a plastic curtain over the bath, and we had to call reception to have mould removed from the tiles. Then we were particularly surprised on check-out to discover a £10/day “service charge” added to our bill. I don’t think we will be returning.

The service at this place is exceptional. Experience it to believe it. They will do everything to make your stay memorable. From never having to touch your luggage, the turn down service with a special treat, the bar and Resteraunt service, the local knowledge, it’s all prompt and very courteous. There are numerous nooks to enjoy a quiet moment, or relax in the heated pool. Rooms are plush and period opulent, maybe a bit over the top?

Spent a long weekend at The Old Government Hotel & Spa with my wife. It was her birthday so we wanted to curate great experience in Guernsey. The hotel choice was a really good one. The hotel itself, the amenities and the staff were terrific.

I'd like to call out Roberto specifically who made sure every part of our stay was a great one. He welcomed us when we arrived, looked after our car and luggage, and always had a smile on his face. He also went above and beyond by surprising my wife with a birthday cake and some sweets. These little things just make such a difference.

Whilst I mentioned Roberto, all of the staff were top-notch always looking to help us out with their friendly manner. There are plenty of places to relax and chill as well as a decent gym/spa area. It is an easy walk down to the port (down hill so keep that in mind on the way back).
