Bea Tollman (the founder and president of Red Carnation Hotels) promotes "no request is too large, no detail too small" and her manager and staff maintain this throughout the hotel. The furniture and fittings are wonderfully tasteful, the service, rooms and food are outstanding. The facilities are fabulous and we look forward to booking room 107 which over looks the harbour next year. It was a fantastic experience staying at the OGH!

Our stay here began with a tour of the hotel, which I have never had at a hotel before, and this was very useful, as we were shown where the different rooms were and how to access them. Jaro's welcome immediately made us feel we were going to like this place. The room was comfortable, Jaro showed us how to get the internet on the TV screen and how to get the weather forecast. We liked the bathroom, the monogrammed towels, the L'Occitane toiletries, and the shower was great to operate. The one by the pool, sadly, was a wet room, with emphasis on the "wet", as the water didn't drain away quickly. The pool was lovely, with comfortable loungers all around, supplied with towels, and bar service. The restaurant was first class. Breakfasts were excellent, huge selection of fresh fruit, delicious variety of cooked meals too, and you could eat outside in warm weather. The evening meals in the restaurant were good too, but my advice to anyone eating there would be not to be put off by the rather bland descriptions of the food on the menu, the chef is an artiste, so choose whatever you fancy and it will be fantastic. All the staff were very attentive, and made you feel that nothing was too much trouble. The location of the hotel was good for the town centre and the port, St Peter Port is hilly, so you don't want to be too far from the main attractions. The staff book boat trips, etc. and give good advice to make your holiday just the way you want it. If you want a real five star experience, this is the hotel for you.

My husband and I spent one night at the OGH on the occasion of our daughter's wedding. The reception was held in the hotel Regency Room. I was most impressed with the efficiency of the staff, their helpful attitude and the overall attention to detail. The quality of food served to 120 people was exceptional and I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

My husband and I have recently returned from an excellent and memorable stay at the hotel..the attention to detail and to the overall attention we received from all the team was first class. We were celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary and the lovely touch of receiving a bottle of Sparkling wine in our room was much appreciated...I would recommend this hotel highly and would like to add a special thank you to Catalin,Oliver ,Stewart and Ken for making our stay all the more enjoyable.

Perfect hotel for relaxation. Situated in a quiet location but very close to the shops, cafés and restaurants in and around the St Peter Port harbour. We enjoyed an excellent champagne cream tea in the Brasserie on our arrival, and I was treated to a wonderful Swedish massage at the Spa. Rooms were spacious and very clean and comfortable. The full English breakfast lived up to our expectations. But best of all were all the friendly, helpful hotel staff. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.

A terrific establishment with many old fashioned values translated into contemporary style and comforts. Everything has been considered for supreme comfort and elegance bit a certain informality is also achieved with completely outstanding staff in every department, although we did feel the reception team were not quite so organised and impressive, and the Terrace Bar slow in terms of service. The rooms are superb and The Brasserie a perfect dining room again with excellent staff who go the extra mile to serve wonderful food. Main problem is the road access and parking; staff valet park your car safely but there is no on site car park as the hotel is in the old part of St Peter Port on a narrow hilly street. The gardens and pool are surrounded by the property which is beautifully decorated and preserved. This hotel is the perfect oasis in Guernsey.

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for a special birthday back in July. We have travelled all over the world with work and on vacation from NYC to Singapore, from Dubai to Barcelona....and this is the best hotel we have stayed in. Not just the hotel (which is luxury) but the service was impeccable. Really first class touches. All staff were so personable. We loved our stay and will be back!!

Found the bedroom a little small for a couple which made it rather warm at night but that said it was still most acceptable. Hence my rating .
All staff were most courteous, polite, professional & helpful at all times. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and abundant served in the conservatory restaurant with views over St Peters Port and beyond to a Herm Island- wonderfully relaxing.
The hotel is comfortable yet palatial at the same time.

My wife and I were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary spending 4 nights in the hotel. We we were greeted royally by a wonderful smiling Czech doorman who gave us a tour of the hotel, parked our car and showed us to our room. This was both opulent and extremely comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and were we presented with a bottle of sparkling wine on our first night. We had been contacted a week or so prior to our stay to explain that there would be a wedding over the weekend and there would possibly be some loud music. However the staff placed us in a room on the other side of the building away from the celebrations and we not aware of any disturbances. We were extremely impressed by this excellent and considerate service.
We cannot praise the staff enough; they were friendly, charming and extremely helpful throughout our stay. The brasserie served excellent food and everyone was absolutely delightful.The staff seemed genuinely happy and shared a common determination to provide high quality service. Brilliant! We have already recommended it to our five grown up children and their partners and to our friends.
