Old Government House Hotel & Spa
Latest Reviews
After reading some of the earlier reviews, I was apprehensive about staying at OGH. The building is historic, service is friendly and the rooms are well furnished (and unlike many other hotels on the Channel Islands, clean) with excellent bathrooms. Food and breakfast was a little bland, especially the choice of buffet at breakfast and the quality of the cooked breakfast. Gardens though are lovely, especially the view across the harbour and out to Sark, and the small swimming pool is clean. The hill down to St Peter Port is not as steep as first seems, especially if you take the gate out of the hotel at the bottom of the garden. Only complaint I had was that there was no room service breakfast before 7am if you have an early flight out (although there is a good cafeteria at Guernsey airport) and the fact that there are so many corridors that you constantly get lost going to your room. I would stay there again, although it is a little pricy for what you get.

We stayed at the OGH aka the "Old Girls Home" with our two children and a set of granparents. It was beautiful and lovely and we enjoyed every minute. We had a meal plan so we ate breakfast and dinner every day at the hotel and it was a little stuffy, but the food was good and everyone was very, very nice. We hired a sitter for the children during dinner who worked days at the front desk who was adorable. We LOVED Guernsey and the cliff walks. It was a trip of a lifetime and the OGH just helped make it an amazing experience. We think the Channel Islands are the best kept secret in the world and would go back in a minute.

Just spent our 25yr wedding anniversary at the OGH and it was superb. Booked the Romantic Break package which was full of treats and we were not disappointed. Accommodation, food and service were all excellent. It was a truly 'fine' experience.

This hotel is supposed to be the best on the Island and I belive it is the best of a bad bunch. With the wealth this Island has I am amazed there are no 5 star places to stay. The OGH is ok but the rooms are very diffrent and some are of course better than others it really is pot luck, the saving grace is its spa and health area which is at least upto date. The messages at the Beuaty in the East are also very good.
