Hotel; cannot fault it-worth the money, lovely decor, clean and welcoming,fabric lined walls,nice heated swimming pool that was well attended to with fresh towels as needed,
Staff; could not do enough for you and were very friendly
Rooms:(220) beautiful room overlooking the harbour.with lovely bay windows for sitting in and looking out to see, biscuits tea etc were .replenished each day and a choice of sparkling and still water also Huge fluffy bath towels and great pillows,bed was very comfy.
Entertainment: the bar staff were great and we took over Harry’s, the Irish bar man was very tolerant of us and even found some music to play for us.
Food; breakfast was amazing with wide choice of hot and cold; the fresh raspberries with Greek yoghurt went down well. Ate in restaurant for evening meal first night and had lobster with linguini-fab !!were well looked after, we were a slightly rowdy table of 10 women celebrating a special birthday
The island-beautiful island lots to see and there is a bus that takes you all round the island if you wish.We went over to Herm for the day where we found fab beaches, Shell beach and Belvoir beach, crystal clear water; the island was tiny but peaceful and beautiful, one pub, one hotel and two public toilets. The crossing was about 30 mins.
Weather was forecast for rain but was really warm on the weekend we went so was perfect with a little drizzle of rain while we slept.
The overall experience; We had a very enjoyable weekend and were looked after very well,thankyou to all the staff and management for a a great time.

A warm welcome from the staff who are all so courteous and obliging. The room was beautifully furnished and the small things make a difference such as plenty of large, soft towels in the bathroom and a teapot and cups and saucers on the tea tray in the room. A wonderfully relaxing stay.

We had the pleasure of staying at OGH for three nights in late August. The total experience was wonderful, from the attentive staff, lovely room and delicious food. The attention to detail in all areas was most commendable. An exquisite boutique hotel. We shall return.

The OGH was my introduction to a 'Red Carnation Hotel'. It was interesting to learn of the history and ethos of this select group of hotels. The hotel is immaculately appointed in a unique, rather elaborate style. There is a total attention to detail and the service faultless.
We particularly enjoyed the exceptional food, the beautiful, warm swimming pool, and perfect gin and tonics.
The hotel is well situated close to the centre of town and with lovely sea views. It is quite pricey but for a special occasion worth every penny. I will certainly be searching out another Red Carnation Hotel; once I've saved up!

We stayed here for a short break over the first May Bank Holiday. It certainly deserves its 5 stars and from the moment our taxi pulled up outside we were given VIP treatment. The rooms were plush and we had a rooftop and sea view. The breakfast was plentiful and set us up for a day exploring the island. I enjoyed a hot shell massage in the spa.
We would thoroughly recommend OGH and would like to visit again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for a four night Autumn break, not cheap but good value for money. Service was superb; inconspicuous until the second you needed it. We had a harbour view room with balcony, extremely quiet and great views especially at sunrise and after sunset. Breakfast was always so memorable, cooked to order and the great variety of choice was delicious and certainly set you up for the day. Great pianist in the bar/ restaurant.

I visited this hotel with my elderly parents and we all agreed it was a hotel with standards.
All the staff were tidy in dress and extremely attentive to your every need. The decor was lovely and everywhere was very clean.
It has a great location in St Peter port, short walk to the harbour and shops.
Obviously all the luxury has to be paid for so it is pricey but well worth a visit.

What a superb hotel. Great staff and so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our first time on Guernsey but it will not be our last and we will definitely go back to the OGH. If ever we needed any help it guidance the staff at reception and concierge could resolve the issue. A great placed to visit whether in or out of season and a great base go explore Guernsey.

I really like this hotel. Rooms are not huge but they are comfortable and well furnished with a comfy day bed, enormous and very comfortable bed, and old-fashioned comfy armchairs plus all the mod cons of TV, phone, internet etc. The spa is excellent, lounges are comfortable and welcoming, and the food is great - particularly breakfast. But what really makes this a lovely place to stay is the quality of the service. Nothing is too much trouble for the well trained but affable staff. Throughout the hotel, from concierge to chambermaid, it was service with a smile, which makes a wonderful change from the often surly or condescending approach of so many hotel staff in 5 star hotels on the mainland. Well done OGH. The only drawback is the location on a hill in St Peter Port, giving great views, but making access difficult for anyone with any physical disability.

We booked the hotel on line, and we then got an e-mail from them to ask about our preferences. What sort of pillows we liked, when we would we arrive, would we like any additional items and all in all it made the booking seem more personal. We arrived at the hotel, and as it is in the town of St Peter Port parking is limited, and so the hotel staff were able to take the car and park it for us. The reception staff were most helpful, and checking in was fast and efficient. We were at a function in the hotel, and the meal was excellent. The dining room staff were all very polite and courteous. They were attentive to our needs, and the meal was great. The bar staff were amazing, and so helpful. The room was excellent, and we had a view over the harbour and adjacent islands. There was a bath and separate shower. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were again most helpful. I would be very happy to stay here again. The hotel is an old converted building, so it has a lot of charm and character, but of course was not purpose built. It is well located for walking to town, has a swimming pool (outdoor) and spa. It is part of the Red Carnation Group. They also do a very good afternoon tea, but I would recommend that you book for that in advance as it can get very busy.
