My wife and I fancied a long weekend away in Guernsey and as we were travelling out of season thought it a good idea to stay neat St Peter Port as there is more to do there this time of year. Liked the look of the OGH and it was certainly a very good decision. The whole stay, as previous reviewers have stated, was very enjoyable and you constantly have the feeling of being well looked after. From the interior of the hotel, both rooms and common areas, to the high quality of service by the staff it was excellent. OK, the layout of some of the floors is a little unusual and takes a few try's to navigate, but it is more than compensated for by the lounge areas with open fires, the friendly bars and the variety of food in the restaurants. I particularly enjoyed the Curry Room where it the unusual menu was far removed from the normal UK curry restaurants we are used to. I cannot praise the hotel management and staff too highly and if you want an old fashioned indulgent break try this place out.

My husband and I spent three very comfortable nights at this wonderful hotel located right in the heart of St Peter Port.
The service was outstanding – every staff member took a genuine interest in our well being, and some went way above and beyond the call of duty.
On the first night the chef Robert overhead me talking about (of all things) porridge and we ended up having a chat. I told him I like steel cut oats (pinhead oats). To my delight and amazement, he had some specially brought in from the mainland which was no mean feat with the storms playing havoc on supply lines. Such a wonderful service ethos - thank you Robert!
Breakfast was varied, plentiful and beautifully fresh – amazing that they could get such a good selection of fresh fruit there at this time of year. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant one night which was excellent.
We loved exploring the different parts of the hotel – the Crown Club and the lovely room with all the couches and fireplaces. Our room was warm, clean and comfortable - we really couldn’t fault this excellent hotel. Thanks to all the staff (particularly Robert) for making our first trip to beautiful Guernsey so memorable.

Stayed just one night with my wife as a break from the kids. It was perfect the room clean comfortable and quiet. The decor was tasteful and well thought out.
The food excellent we had dinner and breakfast both were top notch.
The thing that stood out most were the staff. At all levels they were courteous and attentive exceptionally professional and you felt they genuinely were interested in your wellbeing, nothing was too much trouble.
It does come at a price but would recommend this hotel and it would be our first choice for a stay in Guernsey.

This was a return visit and it was as good as last time I visited. The hotel is fabulous, everything you need, a brand new Spa which has the wow factor, service & hospitality was again, exceptional, with all the staff so friendly and nothing is too much trouble, even in the early hours off the morning. Food was excellent and they catered really well for me as I am Gluten Free. Rooms spacious and clean.
Special thanks to Dina Lelacheur, the General Manager who made sure that our large group were all very happy, I wonder does she ever sleep as she was always there checking our dinners, making sure out transport arrived and we had everything we wanted. Special mention to Shaun too who was unbelievably efficient and thanks too to all the staff, they gave 150% to our stay. Shame we did not have time to go and play golf but the course looked very good.
Guernsey is beautiful and I do hope that I can re-visit again, I would highly recommend the hotel for couples, business, families and large groups.

We booked a four night bed and breakfast deal with ferry from Poole. It was excellent, especially having the car with us. The staff could not have been more friendly, especially Shaun the Ops manager and the ladies at reception. Our room was an executive twin, very comfortable, especially the bed (important to get a good night's sleep) and over looked the tennis courts. A very relaxing view. The balcony only seated one chair plus table but could be re-arranged to just have two chairs, so no problem. There were plenty of other balconies to sunbathe from. The addition of a Nespresso coffee machine was most welcome. Breakfast wasexcellent, a very good choice of hot and cold food and local specialities. Best selection of fruit I've seen in quite a while. Wonderful views over the lake made breakfast dining a very pleasant experience. We had intended to eat out of an evening around the island but actually ate in the main dining room twice and the bar once because the food was so good. Had we wanted something special it would have been no problem to try and supply it. The leisure facilities were being trialled following a major refurbishment and although not complete at the time (1st week in June) they were of a very good standard and we enjoyed using the pool and steam room. My friend and I had a super five day break. The island is so beautiful and being only three miles from the mainland is a real bonus. I can't believe I've not gone by ferry before. We shall definitely be back to St Pierre Park. Can't wait.

In July 2016, GuernseyKiwi said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We didn't know it at the time but we were their first two day spa guests. Loved the big waffle robes, slippers maybe?. Not a problem as we were both wearing flip flops. Relaxation room, no sugar or milk had to request that, really not a problem as we appreciated they had only been open a day or two. Ordered some sandwiches about half 12 as that was what you used to be able to do in the relaxation room, it wasn't until a day later I actually read my Spa package notes that I saw they offered a comprehensive lunch menu ! My fault. Took advantage of a massage which was so nice, lovely setting and smells, everything you want from 30 mins away from your wife stuff, these 30 mins were about ME. Joined my friend on the Sun Deck we relaxed in the hot tub in the gorgeoous Guernsey Sunshine. Our afternoon tea came and it was more than plentiful for two ladies, lots of finger sarnies tons of cake and sweet stuff, friend took it home for her boys. Fantastic facility we'll worth every penny I am going to give it A 5 The first 5 I have ever given a place.

Wonderful relaxing hotel with delightful grounds, attentive, friendly staff and amazing new leisure facilities.
The standard room was a good size, with a comfy bed and also had a balcony containing 2 chairs and a table with still plenty of room to move about on. Plenty of thoughtful amenities in the well lit room, the only thing lacking was a window opening as there was no air con, ( not that I like this, ) so it did become stuffy overnight if you did not leave the patio door open, which some people would feel hesitant to do I feel ( maybe ongoing refurbishments will amend this issue?)
The newly refurbished leisure facilities are superb; the pool is wonderful as you can have a proper lengths swim; the sauna overlooks the gardens and decking level and is lovely and light. One of the two gyms has this view too. There are plenty of loungers too, both inside and outdoors. Excellent roomy showers, and the costume spinner/drier is a great addition too. If I lived closer, I would definitely join the health club, the facilities are superb, and are maintained immaculately.
The extensive choice for breakfast was excellent, as was the evening meal we had one night, which was beautifully cooked and presented.
The hotel is about 10 minutes drive down to St Peter's Port, but has plenty of car parking spaces in a well lit carpark.
I would highly recommend this hotel as a base whilst in Guernsey, for it's tranquil setting, delightful staff and the many amenities it offers.

Second stay at this hotel (stayed in May 2015) once again, staff were fantastic as was our room. Ok, there were some people having a party in their room early morning on our floor, which was a bit annoying, but, hey, I was young once so no real problem. Again, like last time, the weather was superb and the facilities excellent. Like our previous stay, I would recommend to anyone.
