We attended the cocktail-making class at (I believe) George's bar for a birthday celebration, and it was a fantastic experience! Shaminee, our instructor, was absolutely superb. She not only taught us how to make delicious cocktails but also made the entire experience incredibly enjoyable and fun. Her knowledge and enthusiasm truly made the class special. The cocktails were also absolutely delicious! We tried to replicate Shaminee's cocktail making but she's in a class of her own. We were also served snacks for the class which were also stunning! The salmon and the crab were so fresh and tasty!
Shaminee is a real asset to the hotel, providing excellent customer service and personalising the experience for each of us. The hotel itself is beautiful, and although we didn't stay overnight, the ambiance and the exceptional service from the staff made a strong impression. I would love to return and stay in the future based on what I saw.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to have a great time while learning something new!

My newly wed husband and I had a wonderful celebration of canapés with friends and family. We were situated in the beautiful Olive Grove restaurant overlooking St Peter Port. We were blessed with sunny weather and the food and staff could not have been nicer. The organisation was excellent and we were promised an event room if the weather was inclement. It was all a huge surprise for my family and friends as they were unaware of us getting married that morning and the staff kept the secret perfectly. In particular, although we would like to thank everyone involved, we would like to thank (Prince) Andrew for his kindness shown to my mum who had difficulty parking her car and Martin,and Thobani for their jolly banter throughout the cocktails and canapés. Many thanks again OGH you did us proud.

On arrival I was very disappointed with our room. It was very small and the air-conditioning did not work. The window didn’t open very far and outside the window was scaffolding and building rubbish. It was unbearably hot. There was a wobbly table in the small bay window with tea and coffee making facilities but you had to move the kettle to the dressing table to plug it in. All a bit shabby for a 5 star. However, I rang reception and we were moved to another room immediately. The concierge that helped us needs a special mention as he was so helpful with information about local tours and buses and nothing was ever too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent. We stayed for 3 nights. We ate in the restaurant on the first night and food was lovely. Service was excellent. We also ate at the curry club and although it was ok, I would not eat there again. My lamb curry tasted lovely but some of the meat was tough. I did question the 5 stars at times as some of the furnishings are a bit tired and the initial experience of being allocated a poor room didn’t help. Thank you to all the staff who clearly help make this hotel special.

Our stay at OGH last weekend was fabulous. The service and quality of the food was excellent and in particular we would like to mention Andrew who couldn’t do enough to help us and even fitted in a last minute 2 hour tour of the island on Sunday morning before we flew back in the afternoon.
Kris was very helpful on the front desk sorting dinner arrangements and Mario was amazing in the bar with his service and a smile !
An amazing team all round - the 6 of us had a great time and we will be returning.

Not really 5 star. Entrance misleading we drove and could not park, the very small lay by area would have blocked several cars behind on anns place, only single carriage way we drove off & promptly got lost. The room allocated,107, was not 5 star, the route from the lift was down a long corridor and then from a corner accessed via a tortuous spiral stairway further& two steps to the door. My wife is not disabled but with a heart condition found this, as the week went on a problem. No where on the website is it flagged that some areas were difficult to access, even I found it somewhat intimidating. We never thought for one minute that we should have flagged this up when booking & not to the extent of requesting a " disabled " room. The room itself by 5 star standards poor huge heavy sofa type furniture directly in front of the bay window and in front a large heavy type of coffee table marked and stained to a large extent. Early morning calls missed on three occasions. Incredibly the evening Brasserie menus were the same every day & told that they never change, 5 star never! The staff however were excellent apart from one incidence on reception who could obviously understand our taxi booking request. Particularly of note were concierge Roberto & Langa Breakfasts were a highlight good choices and could not be faulted and of course the excellent Allessandro who is a great asset to the OGH. Another couple we befriended had similar views & even described much of the adornments as (Tat ) Would we recommend most definitely not, stay again no, we have visited Guernsey many times & had far better hotels at a fraction of the cost at OGH, this was pushing the boat out for a special occasion so bitterly disillusioned and upset. G A & A Ward 20th to 27th June room 107.

Beautiful place to rest and enjoy the island in the heart of Saint Peter. Many thanks to Kris for his kindness and availability as well as the restaurant staff who are charming. Hotel rather suitable for couples without children.

A mini break staying at the OGH was everything I could possible have hoped for and more. Travelling on my own with a disabled family member can throw up a number of challenges. Our experience exceeded our high expectations.
The rooms were comfortable and the food excellent. But more than that the staff worked tirelessly to do all in their power to ensure we had a lovely stay. They showed great attention to detail were personable and nothing was too much h trouble.
It was a great pleasure to have stayed, even if the weather had forgotten it was summer!

Our second stay at this amazing hotel and we cannot fault it in any way. From when we arrived to be greeted with a glass of procesco, the staff are all so friendly and welcoming, it felt like we were staying with old friends. The room was amazing, very spacious and spotlessly cleaned every day. Like last year, it does seen a little unfair to name staff when all were exceptional, but we have to say a big thank you to Andrew the driver, Christina and Stuart front of house and Alice in the breakfast room, who were all great. And sorry to see Tom no longer there! Andrew, thank you again for a fantastic stay and for having such an amazing team of staff, we are sure you are ver6 proud of them all. Hope to stay again next year.
