We booked a couple of rooms for a long weekend and my wife and I ended up on the first floor above reception. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We had a separate table and a couple of chairs as well as a balcony .There is a fridge for personal use as well as a couple of complimentary bottles of mineral water. The free Wi-Fi was pretty good and seemed to work throughout the hotel including the spa.
Breakfast is a very standard UK buffet with a pretty good choice of hot and cold. There are other items that you order at no extra charge. These include pancakes, kipper and soft boiled eggs. We found the service to be a little bit slow at breakfast especially when the hotel were entertaining a hockey club.
The bar area is quite big but can be divided into 2 which allows the hotel to separate standard guests with those attending a function. This happened whilst we were there and did help. The service was pretty good and there do offer a range of food and snacks.
The grounds incorporate a small lake tennis courts and a small ‘crazy golf course – although the latter needs a bit of love and affection. There is also a spa which offers the normal range of treatments, a gym, a separate weights room and a good size pool. We spent a happy afternoon lazing around the pool during our stay.
Just a couple of points to mention. If you out on the balcony your neighbouring guests can clearly hear every word. A bit annoying if you want a lie in but your neighbours are up bright and early. Similarly we could clearly hear the TV and phone in the next door room.
All in all a solid 4 star but the fixtures and fittings are shwoing their age and look a bit dated

Such an amazing hotel! We spent four nights at St. Pierre Park and can't wait to go back again! The staff were all very friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to help e.g. offering us a lift to the airport instead of having to pay a taxi fare - being students on a budget this was very much appreciated! The spa and pool were great and the food was excellent! We would highly recommend this hotel!

14 of us travelled to Guernsey to spend some quality time together after a stressful year.
The youngest in our party was 16 and the oldest 70+
We chose this hotel primarily for its location and facilities. We have stayed many times over the years but had stopped coming because it became a bit unloved and other hotels on the island were more attractive.
The hotel has clearly had some investment particularly noticeable in the spa. This was always good but Handpicked Hotels have put their signature stamp on it and now it's excellent. The pool is warm, experience showers work well, steam and sauna great. I particularly like that the sauna has glass walls looking over the lake as they can feel a bit claustrophobic. The outside jacuzzi works well although you have to be brave to run out to it and back!
The Victor Hugo restaurant in years gone by was superb and a real treat to go to. Sadly, this let us down and we only ate there on the first night.
The terrace bar is excellent and has a great selection of drinks including cocktails. We didn't eat there but lots of people did and the food looked great. Good selection of board games including monopoly and scrabble. I wish I'd known this as we brought ours with us...
Breakfast quality was great. Nothing was missing and I particularly liked the smoothie option, beetroot and raspberry most days. My only complaint here would be that the staff are sometimes slow to bring tea and coffee and clear plates.
The grounds are superbly kept and a pleasure to walk round or sit and admire. The children were able to play football, tennis and golf which kept them busy and off their phones! The lake is stunning.
Wifi is excellent, good speeds for what we needed which was a little google searching and keeping in touch with home.
We were a little disappointed with our room. We had specifically requested interconnecting rooms on our booking as our adult son has special needs. I was surprised to be charged an additional forty pounds for this on arrival. The room was certainly not an upgrade to the original one offered in size or quality.
Despite this, our room was clean and well equipped and even had a fridge which was an excellent bonus. The views over the tennis court and hot tub were good although the balcony was tiny and really the chair and table provided were unnecessary as there was really only room to stand.
Finally, the staff were great. Very polite and friendly. Jasmine gave an excellent facial and the reception staff were exceptionally helpful.
Overall we had a few hiccups. What was important though was the staff recognised this and did their utmost to put it right. It wouldn't stop me returning. Everyone had a wonderful time.
My top tips would include using the buses. They are cheap, frequent and easy to use. The hotel has a stop right outside. Also there is a Waitrose supermarket across the road useful for snacks and drinks when you have children, or not!
Rooms with a view are nice but if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in your room don't worry about upgrading.

We stayed for our wedding night/honeymoon. The hotel was beautiful, we had a sea view king room with a balcony overlooking St Peter Port. On arrival, the staff had left us some champagne and put rose petals on the bed - this was really thoughtful of them!
We had a fantastic stay, the staff were always attentive, thoughtful and helpful. We made use of the spa and swimming pool. Both of these were well maintained and added to the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel.
Thankyou to everyone at the OGH for a wonderful stay. We felt very well looked after and will definitely be back!

Location ideal for the centre of St Peter Port with bonus of car parking, which is valet operation and works very well. Staff all excellent with just the right degree of friendliness. Hotel packed with old world charm and public rooms a delight to be in. Classic double room compact but extremely comfortable and well equipped. Although room charges high felt the dinner menu prices could be a little more competitive for guests?

I had the pleasure to be hosted in this hotel for few months in a long term business trip. I can only say it is perfect in term of facilities and services with the professionality of the staff being an authentic value added. I was comfortable as if i would be in my own house and even more. Highly recommended.

What a pleasure to stay at this delightful hotel: old world charm and service sadly lacking in most "modern" hotels of today. Sumptious decor in both public and private areas: our 'King' room was just right and bathroom well furnished. We dined in both Governer's (what a beautiful room), and the Brasserie - great food, perfect for any occasion, again with perfect service. We just don't know why we haven't found OGH before (the complimentary bottle of 'bubbles' for our anniversary helped too), but, when I became unwell on the last day the guys excelled themselves right down to the ''hot toddy' - thank you! All in all, a great stay: we are eagerly anticipating our next visit.

Stayed in a suite, overlooking the harbour. Fabulous views. Room was very comfortable and spacious. Enjoyed lovely afternoon tea in the suite. Service was first class. Wonderful setting in conservatory restaurant for dinner on the Saturday evening, and excellent breakfast on Sunday morning. Would definitely return again. Stayed in hotel and dined in restaurant Saturday 7th March 2015.
