We recently enjoyed a week at OGH. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and my birthday while we were there. The hotel marked both occasions and made a fuss of us which was lovely.

We were really impressed with all of the staff but in particular Kris, Alessandro, Thanusha, Mario and Byron. They were very kind, friendly and professional we enjoyed our chats with them. The breakfast was excellent, as was Dinner, when we ate in the Brasserie and the Curry Room.

Fantastic hotel. We were in a king suite with a balcony overlooking the bay.

Staff were great, really attentive, couldn’t do enough for us. Food was excellent. We enjoyed breakfast every day and treated ourselves to an afternoon tea on our last day

Would totally recommend this hotel

The OGH is an outstanding hotel with traditional values and service.
The staff are all excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Kris, Roberto and Chritina are always welcoming, personable and greet one with a smile.... the restaurant staff are excellent as are the well prepared and presented meals...
The location is excellent and the car concierge service is first rate.
Some might describe the OGH as old fashioned, we describe it as a bastion of world class service, traditional values and excellent staff who are a team and it shows...

Very nice property, well placed in the town of Guernsey. The staff is lovely (with special mention to Kris at the front desk, Roberto the concierge, Ranga for his helpful side and Pamela at the restaurant), very attentive to the customer, always smiling. Heated swimming pool from May. Several lounges in the hotel. Some rooms are a little small, but the bedding is excellent. Very good breakfast.

We have just returned from 3 wonderful nights spent at the OGH Hotel. It is well placed in St Peter Port, close to the port, shops, visitor attractions etc. The decor is as you would expect - sumptuous luxury everywhere. Meals were beautifully presented and tasted great. Our overriding sentiment is that we were made to feel so special. Kris and all the staff were warm, generous and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. In true OGH spirit we became part of the family. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing place staff are so friendly and your ever need is meet we brought a dog with us so helpful hotel is amazing very clean food is amazing

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!

This was one of the most pleasant hotel stays we've experienced. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left they looked after us. Kris on reception allowed us into our room well before check-in time and gave us extra time after the offical check-out too. So many good things about the place & people and the Easter egg hanging on our bedroom door made it all extra special!

A brief but thoroughly enjoyable visit to Guernsey with an overnight stay at the OGH.
Absolutely excellent service with the one small issue resolved with aplomb and consideration by Kris at Reception.
The restaurant and bar staff were extremely hospitable and friendly, and lunch and breakfast service and food quality were first class.
A room upgrade was appreciated but the room we were given at the back of the hotel was affected by the noise generated by the kitchen extractor fan. My complaint met with a sympathetic response and a speedy change of room to a particularly nice room which was very well received by us.
Over the years I have stayed many times at the OGH but this was the first return in recent years. The hotel has long been a favourite and there is little doubt that the service ethos has evolved even further since my last visit.
Well done OGH and especially the front of house and restaurant staff who did so much to make this short visit so enjoyable.

Went here for a Champagne afternoon tea we'd been given as a present. Service was good initially and the cakes etc excellent but unfortunately by the time we were ready to leave all staff had vanished and we had to go to reception to find someone to 'box up' our remaining cakes. At this point a member of staff was found. She handed us boxes then abruptly left. It was a disappointing end to what should have been a joyous occasion and, because of that, I'd find it difficult to recommend the OGH to others.

Absolutely beautiful, nothing was too much trouble ,the staff were all amazing.
Kris on reception was outstanding
Nothing was too much for him .
Breakfast was everything you could possibly want
We will definitely be back ,location is perfect

Dear Andrew,

It was good to meet you briefly at the hotel just before we left on Monday.
This was my first visit to Guernsey and Pauline had been previously but many years ago.
We had a great time there and the weather was kind too.
The visit was particularly enhanced and made extremely joyful by staying with you at the OGH.
Our room was great, and the food was outstanding but most of all the staff were of the very best you can find- at all times.
From Roberto’s greeting on arrival to your bid farewell you were all fantastic. Each staff member is a credit to themselves personally and indeed to your group.
Furthermore, with this exemplary behavior it is so good for all the guests to see the old-fashioned ways of courtesy, manners, thoughtfulness, and kindness with a smile.
It was an added bonus to for me to find so many Zimbabweans working with you. It was great to chat with them and know that they have done so well in their lives.
This is no surprise for me being Zimbabwean myself and missing this beautiful land but in complete turmoil these days. Corruption, sadly is so bad in Zimbabwe it is completely out of control but one day we all hope and pray it will be better for our friends and families still living there. I support a charity here which does its best to supply food and medicine to those who have nothing in Zimbabwe. It is called ZANE (Zimbabwe a National Emergency)
My Mum (a single Mum with 3 children) worked at the World Famous (In those days) Victoria Falls Hotel from 1952 to 1958. It is still a good hotel but would be great again in your group with your staff!

With kind regards to you and all your staff who made us feel at home!
Thank you.

A four day break with another couple, our original trawl of hotels became a shortlist of three and chatting with Channel Islands Direct suggested this Hotel was an excellent choice.
She was not wrong, It's a beautiful old building and seemingly extended into adjacent buildings meaning there are minor level changes but all fully accessible with lifts or slopes. Nicely decorated and in most areas with sound deadening wall coverings and carperts which makes it a comfortable environment without the booming echoes which has become prevalent recently.
There are plenty of staff and without exception smiling and happy to assist with anything, Bed and pillows very comfortalble even for my long term back problem.
Very good food, we only had one evening meal and an afternoon tea in addition to the breakfast; which is freshly cooked to order along with a good selection of buffet.

The only negative comment I can muster; there is temporarily scaffolding in the area of the room we had, but quite honestly I think it would be unfair to criticise them for maintining the hotel which is open and popular all year.

The quality of service is truly incredible, a special thank you to Kris who speaks impeccable French and who was a great help on several topics. The breakfast is one of the best we ate and the bedding is perfect. I recommend it!

We visit Guernsey regularly and have stayed at The OGH on a number of occasions. This time we went to celebrate my wife's birthday (with mine a couple of days later). The service from Kris, Roberto and the entire team was amazing with nothing being too much trouble. We were welcomed back from the moment we walked into reception on the first day and made to feel very much at home, and it was lovely to be recognised by many of the staff who have been there for a number of years now.
We simple can't find fault with the experience or the facilities and are already looking forward to returning in July for another celebration!

An excellent hotel. The room was clean and tidy. The rest of the hotel was also clean and tidy. We were upgraded to a higher grade room, which was fantastic! The service from all the staff was exceptional. They really live up to their five star rating. The restaurant, bar, front of house and Spa staff were just spot on for giving five star service. I was celebrating my birthday with my husband, and they really made it special. It was very touching .Thank you OGH staff. Keep up the fantastic work!

Originally we weren’t supposed to be in this establishment, but we ended up there due to an unforeseen event in the hotel booked initially...
The welcome was just great, where we felt good. Unaccustomed to the standing of a 5 star hotel, the hotel team showed great sympathy and warm empathy, benevolent and smiling.
Special thanks to Kris and Pamela, who were able to pamper us with perfect French and consider us privileged hosts. Really very friendly, and with little care...
Of all the high standing establishments we have had the opportunity to frequent in Europe (mainly 4 stars and rare 5 stars such as the waldorf astoria of Versailles ) the OGH team is to be ranked in first place!
The hotel itself is of a very British class, of great charm and the restaurant is superb .. Very stylish decoration without being ostentatious.
The bedding is of excellent quality.
Here, what more to say ... magnificent and unforgettable stay largely due to this exceptional team.

What a superb end-to-end 5 day experience at OGH Hotel, St. Peter Port.
Amazing staff, everyone of them and plenty too, to look after us.
Great Queen room, great breakfast and dinner choices.
Afternoon tea was first class and more than plentiful.

We were treated like royalty and made to feel very special, not overly fussed over but just right; a friendly, knowledgable and very professional team.
Decor is sort of old colonial style and just fitting for this wonderful place, steeped in history.

It's not cheap, but we found it amazing and great quality.
You get what you pay for.

The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the harbour area and 15 minutes transfer from the airport - we used Island Coachways who were great, polite and prompt.

Buy a 'Puffin' bus card (£4 for the card) and top it up with rides at £1.15 each to go anywhere for that price, though if you want to go all round the island, break the journey along the way, get a coffee or lunch, then get back on otherwise you'll incur a £10 all-round non-stop cost.

Lots of lovely coastal walks easy to get to and from, on the excellent bus services.
We did the walk from Rousse Tower to Pembroke Bay - an easy walk, circa 4km, with bus stops at start and finish.
The Beach House cafe at Pembroke Bay did really nice soups.

The Tourist Information centre staff in St. Peter Port were really helpful.

Don't miss the Occupation Museum - a mere 10 minutes walk from the airport with regular bus services, just a 15-20 minute ride away.

We also really enjoyed Pier 17 (had lovely Brill and mixed fish ) and La Perla (had lovely bream and scallops) restaurants.

Sooooo attentive - everybody - the attention to detail, the friendly warm & welcoming staff (especially Kris at reception) was outstanding. Clean, warm, inviting and great breakfast.

Congrats to you all at the hotel - you got our stay very right!!!

Our experience at The Old Government House Hotel was absolutely amazing. The hotel was really lovely and the staff were ‘second to none!’ Nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly and helpful - would have to give a special ‘shout out’ to Pamela in the restaurant and Roberto ‘front of house’ . We had an afternoon tea and I am a coeliac - would have to say, the best gluten free afternoon tea I have ever had! 😁

Hooray - The sweetie jars have returned🤣 Thank you for bringing this lovely little luxury back after pandemic.

Normally stay in their sister hotel (Duke of Richmond) but second visit to The old Government House hotel. Both hotels are amazing with staff that can’t do enough for you. Rooms kept beautifully clean with added luxury of evening turn down service
Ideally situated to St Peter’s Port which is only short walk and all other attractions around the island.

Can’t recommend enough. Lovely hotel with lovely staff. Looking forward to our return visit already.

Jon and Paula

Excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble by the staff . Chris at the reception particularly was very welcoming , talked us through everything to do with our stay and just looked after our every need.
The room was well appointed and with stylish decor.
Fabulous breakfasts looking out over the sea.

Our thanks to all the wonderful staff who made our wedding anniversary so special. Very warm welcome from Kris and the outstanding service just continued - In our 20 + years of retirement and travelling extensively, this was the best hotel experience ever. The breakfast, afternoon tea and evening meals were amazing, bed so comfortable and all the extras were a real bonus.

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!
