First time visit to Guernsey and we stayed at the OGH to celebrate my 60th birthday ( hubby was also 60 but at the beginning of June ) We stayed for 10 nights. we were welcomed with a glass of bubbles and shown around the hotel after booking in, our cases were sent up to our room ready for when we went up, the air con was lovely as very hot when we got there.
The staff were all very helpful and a big shout out to “T” and Pamela, also thank you to the chef as Pamela asked him to speak to us about getting some spider crab, edible crab and whole fish as not on the menu which he did and it was lovely ( hopefully I can send some pics ).
My birthday breakfast was brilliant, bunch of flowers on the table, some Buck’s Fizz and a bottle of champagne ( flowers ordered by hubby )
And lots of birthday wishes from all the staff.
The food was excellent in the hotel and lots of tables in the gardens to sit in the shade or the sun with a cold glass of wine or a cocktail.
Thank you Sianna for keeping us fed and watered while we lazed by the pool and made sure everyone had enough towels, also a cold glass of wine by the pool is a must.

From the moment we arrived at the OGH we felt welcomed and truly relaxed.
Our room, 111, was excellent, comfortable and spacious with perfect air conditioning which was so necessary as we were staying during the recent heatwave when Guernsey enjoyed its hottest day ever.
All the OGH staff we encountered during our stay, whether in the restaurants, around the pool or just around the hotel in general were super friendly and accommodating.
We reserved a gin tasting experience and this turned out to be a throughly enjoyable and enlightening experience.
the bar tender who conducted the tasting, was knowledgeable and interesting to talk with, we definitely learned a few things to try out at home, we even bought one of the local gins included in the tasting from duty free at the airport.
We will recommend the OGH to anyone we know thinking of taking a holiday in St Peter Port and we hope to return ourselves at some point.

We returned to OGH for our 40 th wedding anniversary having spent our honeymoon in Guernsey.
We enjoyed 5 super relaxing days at this special hotel where we were warmly welcomed with some fizz and a dear little anniversary cake plate. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff from start to finish .
All staff work hard to allow you to feel pampered and valued and importantly to feel relaxed .
Our breakfasts and dinners were all absolutely delicious and we enjoyed our room with a view of the pool and out to the island of Herm .
Special thanks go to Tanusha and Pamela in the breakfast area and Zana in the Governor’s restaurant.
We felt this hotel has kept up its charm and character and continues to retain its 5 star qualities . Our room was kept spotlessly clean and the monogrammed bedding was superb!
We hope to be back for future celebrations ..
OGH has a special place in our hearts . Thank you to everyone.

We recently visited Guernsey for the first time, staying nine nights, at the OGH Hotel.
Firstly, all the staff were fantastic. Everyone was cheerful, professional with a high level of customer service. We did find, on the odd occasion, in the bar area, that they were overstretched which led to a long wait to order a drink or food, but we could see that they were working flat out. The valet parking is a nice touch and our room was cleaned and tidied thoroughly every day. On returning to the hotel each time we had been out, we were always greeted warmly.
Our king room had a very comfortable super king bed, was a good size overall and was well equipped. We were at the back of the hotel overlooking the kitchen area which, although slightly disappointing, was understandable as we hadn’t booked ‘a view’. There was a background hum from outside fans, but we didn’t really notice this after the first day or so.
What we did feel, however, was that the room, being in this position in the hotel, should have been decorated in brighter colours or light, neutral tones, as those king rooms shown on the website are. Ours was all dark browns and dark beiges, with heavy brown curtains, making it feel unwelcoming and without a lot of natural light due to its position and net curtain over the bottom half of the window. It just didn’t make us feel 5 star and ‘uplifted’ each time we entered it, which was a shame.
Breakfast in the Brasserie, which was light and airy, was excellent, with a wide choice, particularly of cooked options. We also ate several times in the bar area, the Olive Grove and the Brasserie, in the evening, and the food was very good.
The pool area is sheltered with comfortable sun loungers, although these did get full, on occasion, as our weather was hot and sunny.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the hotel clearly has a large, returning customer base, but it didn’t quite feel 5 star for us, mainly due to our room.
Moving forward, I think thought needs to be given to how the hotel maintains the ‘old world, traditional charm and decor’ that many of the returning guests obviously love, balanced with making it feel fresher, lighter, brighter and updated in some areas.

This was our second holiday at the OGH to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Indeed, we noticed that there were a lot of Returners like us. The location is perfect for the town and its attractions, the bus station, and the ferry port that services all the Channel Islands. Upon arriving at the hotel, one is immediately greeted and looked after, and this attentiveness continued for the whole of our stay. All the staff were friendly, welcoming, and genuine, and provided exceptional service. Everyone remembered our names and the attention to detail was incredible. The atmosphere was one of joining a big family of staff and guests, where everything was possible. We felt like real VIPs throughout our stay. Our room was spacious, serviced daily, clean and tidy, and we enjoyed balcony seats with sea views of Herm and Sark, and the price was extremely competitive. The hotel has a beautiful warm outside pool and spacious area with sunbeds, chairs and tables, and pool facilities. It has made good use of the space available and there is a lovely olive terrace, garden and outside bar area. There is also an extensive spa and gym, which residents can use. The hotel is beautifully decorated and faithful to its heritage with lots of antiques, artwork, and moments of history shared throughout its lounges, public areas and guest rooms. As expected, the food was of a very high standard and quality, and well presented. Anyone who has a special diet is catered for. Our wedding anniversary dinner in Le Brasserie was exquisite. Both bars were well stocked, with lots of choice, and there are plenty of different areas to sit. The hotel offers several excursions and we booked 2 of them. We enjoyed an amazing Sunset, Fizz and Chips at Cabo Bay, attended to by the hotel butler and head concierge. It was simply a special and divine experience which will stay with us forever, and the sunset was spectacular too! We also booked the Sark Experience where we had our own private horse and carriage with a local guide for the day and this enabled us to visit most places on the island. We also had a huge Afternoon Tea at OGH which took us all afternoon to devour. Delicious! This hotel definitely lives up to its 5-star status. We will be back soon!

In June 2026, Paul C said about St Pierre Park Hotel
The Hotel looked great & all the amenities were excellent downstairs, however, the Room - A Classic Garden View Room, was disappointing as it didn't have a clear view of the Garden, no Air Conditioning & the furnishing was rather dated. The Bathroom was like a Sauna, as the Expellair was very poor, even after a cold shower.
The Bed was very comfortable, but sleep was very limited due to the very Hot conditions & the sound of the fans, which had to be constantly running.
The Staff were all excellent, helpful & friendly, especially the room housekeeping maid. The friendly and cheerful nature of all the Staff was very commendable in the very hot conditions.
The view from the small Balcony was very limited in the Room we were allocated on the second floor.
The Golf Facility was a separate concern and there was very limited information at Reception; however, they could book a Tee time if required & there was no shuttle service between the Hotel & the Golf Club/Course, so it was either a case of a steep climb with your clubs or a short journey in the car to get to the course, clubhouse & driving range.
Overall, it was a great relaxing holiday, but it could have been so much better with A/C in the Rooms & a little investment in updating the furnishings.
