Just outside the main area of St.Peter Port it is close to all key routes to go anywhere across the Island. It also has a spacious car park and a bus service to St.Peter Port or the other way to Cobo and Vazon just outside.The grounds are excellent for relaxing and for golfers there is a good 9 hole course but check opening times. We found the breakfast to be one of the best we have received as the choice meant something for everybody and the staff were pleased to offer anything that was not available. The a la Carte was good value for money and again excellent service from all the staff. The room was a good size and very clean. The Elemis bath stuff went down a treat. The only downside was being over the car park and close to a generator of some sort. It is well worth paying a bit more if necesary for a room over the lake. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and it was good to see them taking an interest in what guests were planning to do and help them with ideas for the day. Would we stay again? Yes.
Just a tip for those driving in Guernsey. The roads are NARROW so footpaths are often used a part of the road and is just one of those accepted and necessary things.

The hotel is very well located with plenty of parking, and is more or less opposite a Waitrose where there are cash machines and you can get provisions for a day out. The staff in the hotel are friendly and professional, the breakfasts are superb and for 2 nights of our 4 night stay we ate in the Victor Hugo restaurant in the hotel and both meals were memorable for all the right reasons. Really would struggle to fault this hotel - excellent!

A pleasant enough hotel where the staff were more than helpful. Service was good and bar food was very good and adequate.
Bedroom was spacious and well equipped but in need of some redecoration.
Buffet breakfast was very good with plenty of fresh food to choose from.

A flight cancellation meant we got to stay at the St Pierre Park for 1 night. We'd been at another hotel for 4 nights.....but wish we'd spent all our Guernsey nights here! The hotel is elegant whilst not being fussy and the public areas very spacious. The double room we had was perfect with nice views over the small lake and fountain. We found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We ate in the bar rather than the main restaurant and found the choice and quality of food excellent. Breakfast was buffet style with excellent selection of fresh food to choose from. We had time to make use of the indoor pool which was most welcome. The spa area is extremely nice with a choice of treatments at reasonable prices. There is a top class 9 hole Par 3 golf course adjacent to the hotel. The hotel is well situated about 10 mins from the centre of St PeterPort and on a main bus route. When we come back to Guernsey, we'll definitely stay here.

In May 2018, keith47 said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We stayed on a half board basis for seven nights and cannot fault the housekeeping, bed comfortable and the sleep quality was very good. As we stayed for several days we did appreciate a garden view - lovely grounds.
Breakfast was more than adequate, very good selection and extras like kippers and haddock were prepared to order (quite quickly) and at no extra charge.
To begin with we ate in the main restaurant, but became bored with the same menu each night - and -not every item was to our liking, the seafood offerings for example.
For a change we went to the bar and found more variety, but the service was a bit erratic. we did complain on Sunday night at the service and an adjustment was made to our account. The matter of the "boring" menu was raised with a manager at the time and I gather some specials are now to added to the restaurant menu each night - it cannot be a challenge to the chef to do the same thing every night either.
Staff were always friendly and helpful ( a couple of transfers to the harbour were appreciated)- thanks also to Tom for his repartee- and yes, we would return

In June 2010, LCM87 said about Old Government House Hotel & Spa
We were so impressed with this perfect gem of a hotel which we chose for our short honeymoon break. The service without exception was incredibly helpful. The food was outstanding, especially the surprise tasting menu in the Governor's Restaurant and the very fresh seafood. Our room was roomy, tastefully decorated and comfortable with a gorgeous bathroom and had views across the entire harbour and castle. The hotel is located minutes from the main shopping area of St Peter Port and the harbour and it was lovely to be able to go 'car-free' for a few days without feeling confined or isolated. There was plenty to see in the area and the concierge service arranged taxis and helped plan our sightseeing. We have nothing but praise for this hotel and look forward to returning again soon.

Having over thirty years of international travel and staying in several hundred hotels I found the Old Government House a perfect gem of a hotel with traditional old world charm so rarely found in the modern world.
The service was impeccable and no request to much trouble for the staff.
Food in both restaurants was superb - cooked, presented and served to the highest of standards and a gourmet meal in the Governor's fine dining restaurant is a treat not to be missed - ever!!
The Spa is superbly equipped and can cater to every need.
We shall definitely be staying again.

Spent 3 days at the OGH as part of our Golden Wedding celebrations. The hotel did not disappoint. Red Carnation service at its best.and we felt we were part of a family. The staff were superb and the food first class..
The only problem we had was finding the turning into Ann's Place. It's worth having a look on Google street view before you go. Yes, it is that narrow turn at the traffic lights that you have just driven past!!
If you have stayed in Red Carnation hotels before you will know what to expect. If you haven't, then you are in for real treat at this hotel

We couldn’t fault any aspect of our stay. The staff were almost falling over themselves to help us. Definitely recommend and will return. Next time we will eat in the curry room as it looked beautiful. We had three breakfasts and ordered different ones each time - each one was great, though we preferred the poaching of the eggs to the scrambled eggs. We had room service one evening and food arrived quickly and was hot and delicious.

We have just spent four brilliants nights here at The Old Government House Hotel, from our pick up from Guernsey Airport right through to our departure neither myself or Clare could fault absolutely nothing, well done the OGH team!!! We initially arrived at 4pm on Wednesday 14th March, which coincidentally was also my Birthday, we were quickly and professionally checked in and were then offered a complimentary welcome glass of wine (lovely gesture) Clare my partner had pre booked and pre paid for a superior sea view facing room as a total surprise for my Birthday, our room 108 was just lovely with a large bay window overlooking St Peter Port Harbour and Marina's the room was tastefully decorated with a huge bed, dressing table, large sofa, and two cosy chairs and small circular wooden table, the bathroom was bright and fully marble effect tiled. We had dinner in the hotel Brasserie on our arrival night (full separate report on TA) which was also a nice experience served by very professional staff. We had breakfast the following morning in the same room which again was a very pleasant, we chose eggs benedict and a full English breakfast both were well cooked (poached eggs just perfect!) with plenty of toast, preserves and tea and coffee. On day two when we left the hotel to explore St Peter Port at 9.30am we asked reception to have our room serviced, unexpectedly I had to pop back after just 30 minutes to collect something from the room and it had already been completely serviced, Amazing!!!! Our sleep quality during our four day stay was fantastic and we were both fully relaxed and rested, in fact I personally had some of the best sleeps I have had for a long time, which was surprising as the hotel is based right at the top of the town centre. In conclusion would we recommend this hotel, "Absolutely!!" Would we return "Most Definitely". Finally we would both like to say a massive "THANK YOU" to Andrew the GM and his brilliant team of people for making our stay so Memorable!!!!!!
