The hotel and grounds are superb and situated just outside of the town with a bus stop right outside. Our room was spacious and on the lower floor so that it opened out onto the lawn with a verandah outside where we could sit and enjoy the view. We had very comfortable beds, tea and coffee in the room and a nice bath and shower. Breakfast offered a massive choice from the buffet as well as a menu from which you could choose extra dishes. The food in the bar was really good with a wide choice and the staff everywhere from the maintenance men to the manager were so polite and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. The new swimming pool was beautiful and the member of staff that showed us around was very obviously proud of all the facilities, and justifiably so. Our last night we ate in Victor Hugo restaurant and I have to say that the food was exquisite, both in taste and presentation. We will definitely go back there again, by which time the health suite/spa will be completed offering even more for guests to enjoy.

We were taken out to lunch here, and it was very pleasant indeed. They have their own Brassiere and you can, subject to weather, eat outside. The menu is quite varied, with a good children's menu to choose from. Equally, the kids do have a play area, so you can keep an eye open, whilst you eat.

This is a lovely hotel conveniently located in the heart of St Peter Port. The service was second to none and nothing was too much trouble. The staff clearly enjoy working here and it shows in their dedication to making our stay as comfortable as possible. Can highly recommend it and would love to go back sometime.

my company has an office close to the hotel and a corporate rate with them (which by the way is still pretty steep), so staying there seemed to be the most sensible thing to do. which leads me to the only really positive thing i can say about it - the best thing about the OGH is its location, an easy walk to the centre of town.
the impression of the hotel is best from the outside. a lot of effort seems to have gone into an apparently recent facelift of the facade. unfortunately, not so much effort was spent on the inside. while it may be historic and some of the public areas try to recreate the good old times, it is not executed in a nice way. rather than having a romantic and charming feel about it, it just seems old and grubby, as there is a strange kind of smell throughout the hotel which i can’t really describe, other than it just smells OLD. my room was not nice. though it seemed to have new furnishings, they were made to look old, which again gave it a rather tacky feel.
overall, i would say the hotel has a strange kind of 50s feel to it that may appeal to the elderly couples the hotel is so full of. and, what’s more, for the price they are asking i would be expecting a lot more!
breakfast is made to order only, which may be nice when you are on a holiday, but doesn’t really suit business travelers who are in a hurry in the morning.
if this is the best hotel in guernsey - so we were told - i am curious about the standard and value for money at the other ones!

We have stayed here before and enjoyed it. Our room this time was large, beautifully decorated, well furnished and very comfortable. The service was very good and the hotel is located within easy walking distance of the centre and the front. It offers free wifi.

I stayed at OGH for three nights with my sister and it was a wonderful experience. The room was spacious (we had upgraded to a sea-view room and it was definitely worth it) and the food in both restaurants was exceptional - particularly the degustation menu.
The staff were friendly and attentive. Massage in the spa was good. My only very slight criticism is that we had booked the Potato Peel Pie deal and this was meant to include a themed meal. The meal we had was delicious but nowt to do with the book! Never mind, it didn't spoil the weekend.
We hired a car for the weekend and the staff parked it for us, as apparently the car park is a really tight squeeze. What I would recommend if you're hiring a car is to pay the extra to have no excess on the insurance. I generally think hire car insurance is daylight robbery but I've never been so scared driving as down those narrow walled lanes! I'm used to whizzing round London. I didn't bang the car but my nerves were a bit worn down.
Anyway, back to the hotel. It is expensive but we had the three nights for two deal which made it more affordable and in any case, it was for a special weekend. And you get great service. I would definitely recommend OGH.

I stay at the hotel fairly often and have come tor eally appreciate it as the best on the island. The staff are very friendly and eager to help, and the rooms are well equipped. I would add that some of the rooms are quiet small whilst others are huge, so it is worth paying the bit extra for a larger room.
In the smaller rooms the showers are pretty small and not up to the quality of the rest of room or the hotel in general, however apart from that observation there is very little I can fault with the place.
Highly recommended.

The hotel is very central but I feel for the price you should get slightly larger rooms. The bedroom (Room 202) was very small as was the bathroom. When you spend these kind of prices you are paying because you are planning to spent time in your room and use its facilities. To use the kettle you had to fill it from the bath and then find room on the table as it was kept in the wardrobe. Also the television signal was not good at all.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great. The spa was fully booked on the day we visited which was a shame but our own fault for not booking before arrival.
I just feel that for a 5 star hotel and the prices that they charge the bedrooms need to be bigger I am afraid.
