Nice stay, friendly staff. Spa was very difficult to book for paying guests in favour of day visitors. A bit disappointing.

Stayed here last week - part business/part pleasure. Stayed in the Sark Suite with our 3 kids. Excellent accomodation. Really super. Hotel staff superb and very helpful. Had a meal here too - very good and lots of Bramble cocktails - also excellent!!! This is my 2nd stay here - I will be back!

Really is in a league of its own in Guernsey. Pricey, but you get what you pay for, faultless service and excellence across the board. Looking forward to my next stay.

Apparently the only 5 star hotel in the Channel Islands. It is a little bit above the others I have stayed. Service is very good. Quality of the room was excellent. The bed linen etc is faultless. Stayed one night and slept very well. Nice view of the sea and some of the other islands.
Like the rest of Guernsey it is not a particularly exciting place and the bar etc was closed at 12.30 on a Friday evening, although the night porter happily provided us with requested assortment of drinks and nibblies.
The layout internally is a little confusing and quirky but in a nice way.
A little more expensive than other hotels locally but worth it.

I have stayed in the OGH as it is affectionately known in Guernsey many times and feel thoroughly at home every time. It is art of the Red Carnation group which is an good reference in itself. Rooms, though small are well appointed. As a regular I was given room 107 which was more spacious than other rooms and offers something of a view over St Peter Port. Food is great, although the hotel is walking distance to town cntre which offers a wide variety of world class restaurants. For me the main selling point is the fact that the OGH has a weel equipped gym and a professional spa.

Very nice hotel. Stayed for three nights at one of their family-sized studio suites. Excellent service, very comfortable room and welcoming stuff. Food at both restaurants are very good, perhaps the best on the island. Good winelist very reasonably priced.

This is Guernsey's premier hotel by a long way and one of Europe's finest too. Having booked a cracking, out of season deal for three nights for the price of two we were made to feel valued guests from the moment we walked up the flight of old stone steps into reception.
This is a splendid building, a hotel since 1858 but, as the name suggests dating back to 1796 when it was the Governor of the island's residence. We were shown to the Herm suite on the first floor which is beautifully situated looking out to see and with every convenience you could wish for: free wi-fi, lots of storage, a four poster bed, big bathroom and shower room and comfortable furniture to sit and relax or work on. In short, five star luxury.
There are two restaurants: the Governors, a small, intimate affair with military prints on the walls and the larger, lighter brasserie where guests have breakfast. The food, like everything else we experienced here, is first class and the staff are only too pleased to help should you need advice on what wine to have or if you fancy something different.
There is also a separate lounge area for afternoon tea which is a splendidly old fashioned event with a huge array of different teas, beautifully prepared sandwiches and sumptuous cakes. The restaurants may have been quiet due to the time of year but tea was a sell out on all four days we were there.
The Old Government House Hotel is also a fantastic base from which to explore the island and there is a lot to see in Guernsey even though it is possible to drive around the perimeter in under two hours. Also the bulk of the attractions such as castle Cornet and some of the other historic sites do not open until April and close again in September.
However, whichever month you arrive the staff cannot do enough to help and will advise on whatever sight or event it is you want to enjoy. We did not use the hotel spa but I have no doubt that it was every bit as good as everything else was. If you are going to Guernsey there is nowhere better to stay and nowhere to be better looked after than at the OGH.
