Our 6 day stay at the OGH was arranged via channelescapes, to celebrate our 'ruby' wedding anniversary. To begin with we so impressed with the initial welcome by the front of house staff. Our room was very adequate for us and all the facilities were much appreciated. Everyone of the staff were very attentive and always customer focused. We really enjoyed the sumptuous breakfasts on offer which set us up for the day! We had 3 evening meals at the hotel [the other 2 we were out on trips] which were all excellent and well prepared. On the actual anniversary day, after the meal, we were treated to a celebration cake which was a great surprise [I expect our cards on the dressing table gave it away!]. Amazingly, another couple on the next table to us were also celebrating their 'ruby' and were presented with a similar cake too. Overall, we were treated so very well, it felt like we were part of a family, only better!!

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at The Old Government House Hotel, celebrating our recent 80th birthdays. We have nothing but praise and appreciation for the fantastic staff throughout the hotel, all of whom were totally focused on providing excellent service. We would particularly like to mention Kriss (Reception Manager), Roberto (Concierge), Alessandro, Pamela and Tenjye (Restaurant) and Sukiyaki (Housekeeping) all of whom went 'above and beyond' to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
The delightful chocolate birthday cake, left in our room on our first day, was a lovely surprise, and very much appreciated. We ate two evening meals and an Afternoon Tea at the hotel, all of which were delicious and very well presented and served. The breakfast menu was exceptional, and the Continental Selection extensive.
The hotel decor, furniture and furnishings were attractive and absolutely in character with the building, and the bed was very comfortable. It must be a constant challenge to maintain such a beautiful old building and we feel this was generally in very good order.
Our stay at the OGH was wonderful and has provided us with many happy memories. We hope to be able to return to this lovely hotel and beautiful Island one day.

Really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel. Really lovely big rooms. Comfortable lounge and bar area. Very pretty restaurant with an excellent breakfast. Nice heated pool for a dip, even in inclement weather. Although the hotel is atop a hill, the 71 bus service drops you just round the corner if you cannot face the walk up. Very near to shops and the harbour. The 71 bus is also handy coming from the airport. The service at the hotel from the lovely staff was excellent. Lots of nice little touches and cannot wait to stay again.

This rare hotel is full of old world charm and with incredibly special personal service with a lovely dining experience. The staff were incredibly kind to my elderly parents and went out of their way to discretely care for their particular needs

We had a wonderful stay at the OGH. The staff here were all incredible and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The staff are a massive credit to this beautiful hotel and we would definitely stay here again should we ever return to Guernsey.

Attended a cocktail masterclass while on holiday at sister hotel. The session was brilliant. The 3 bar staff were all so lovely-friendly, excellent teachers and made it a great evening. Took us from complete amateurs to having some skill!

A cocktail masterclass in the Crown bar was a part of the deal when staying at the sister hotel and we were not disappointed. Over the course of two hours plus Jeffery took us from the basics of making a Daiquiri through to more advanced cocktails, techniques and shortcuts. Jeffery was extremely flexible adapting to the preferences of the class and kept up a regular supply of samples which were supported by some excellent canapés. The session was hugely enjoyable, educational and a great way to spend a wet and windy Sunday afternoon. I just hope I can remember it all.

A truly excellent 5 star hotel with superb staff . We had an upgrade to a King Room as we went out of the main season . The bed had an excellent mattress and the temperature of the room was just right for us ( 18 C ). We stayed for a week and had dinner every night except one . The cooked food was of a uniformly very high standard and was reasonably priced for the quality . The hotel is also very convenient for the shopping centre and buses.

I wanted to take the time to confirm that our recent stay at OGH, certainly exceeded our expectations. We were originally booked to stay at the Duke of Richmond and were advised, that we had been moved to OGH as they were undertaking reburbishments. We stayed at OGH for our wedding anniversary a couple of years ago and that stay was great.
This time we travelled with my daughter and her boyfriend and it was his first visit to Guernsey. From us entering and being offered a glass of fizz, the service has been exemplary. Particularly Stuart, always with a bit of information on where to visit. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to sea view King rooms. As part of the package we undertook a cocktail masterclass. We were taught by David, his wife (apologies but I did not get her name) and Jeffrey. This class was amazing and I would certainly consider booking a follow up as they advised, not something I would have originally thought of. We will be using the skills and information we learned at home. The samples were plentiful, with canapés also. The choice of breakfast is lovely and all of our meals used top notch produce. I used the gym briefly and can confirm there being a lot of choice in equipment. I also had a treatment in the spa, which again is a lovely setting. The location of the hotel is so convenient, being only just off the main shopping area, however it is uphill coming back, but then that is Guernsey.
I did not take the names of all the staff, but everyone from the person servicing our room, reception, concierge and restaurant staff, were fantastic and made us all feel very special.
I had already been recommending OGH to friends and colleagues, but now even more so.
