This was the 4th time we had stayed here and I was expecting to give an automatic 5-star review. There are a lot of good things to be said about this hotel. The friendliness and attentiveness of staff, where nothing seems to be too much trouble. The surroundings and decor of the bedroom (ok, may have been a bit beige). A superb sauna/steam-room/jacuzzi combo. The attention to detail - recognition that we were there for a 30th wedding anniversary through cakes to our room and a heart-shape on the bed made of fresh flower petals (well, my wife thought it romantic). But the difference between a good hotel and a great hotel is made by marginal differences, and we both felt that there was something ever so slightly off compared to previous visits. We think that the restaurant service and standards weren't quite what they were, but as mentioned, it is marginal. Enough for 4.9 stars if that were possible. Would we stay here again? Most probably. Before this trip it would have been automatic and unequivocal.

We stayed for 5 nights over Liberation day and couldn't fault either the facilities, food or service. In particular all the staff were keen to help in any way they could. The Brasserie was delightfully situated so that the moning sun shone into the room during breakfast.
The hotel is very close to the centre of St Peter Port and its seafront which is only 10 mins away (although longer on the way back!)

The OGH is a superb 5* hotel situated close to the heart of St Peter Port and a few minutes walk from the ocean. The rooms are elegant and very comfortable. The public areas are stylish and upmarket. But the real highlight was the quality, style and professionalism of the staff who were very helpful and could not be faulted in any way. They truly make the experience at the OGH memorable. We would highlight Zoe at reception who took the time to explain the various tourist attractions, suggest restaurants and activities - she made sure we made the best use of our weekend stay.

Guernsey is a gem of an island.We have stayed in 8 or 9 lovely hotels
there.This year we chose the famous O.G.H.From arrival to departure the service from all staff was excellent and faultless.The public ground floor rooms are elegant and very comfortable.The disappointment was when we saw our room.Small to the point of chlostrophobia, nowhere even to store our suitcases..Next day we asked to upgrade but decided the cost too much.We were shown a room in the same catergory which we accepted.This room was more airy but had it’s own problems.Safe difficult to access, poor quality tiny shower cubicle,and shabby furnishings,But the bed was lovely.The receptionist who organised the move was also very helpful.But the rooms were not worthy of a 5 Star hotel and therefore spoiled our 5 night stay.J.P.

We had the pleasure of spending 5 nights at this wonderful old establishment quite recently. A big thank you to Hilton & the team for the exceptional service and wonderful food. I would recommend the queen size room as the classic room is a little on the small side. The hotel is very well placed, being It is a short walk to the harbour area & the shopping area. We will be back!

Just got back from a most enjoyable stay at this hotel. Nothing is too much trouble for them to make your stay there as comfortable as positive. From the waitresses in the breakfast room to the room cleaning staff. A big thank you to Andrew (breakfast) & Caterina (room cleaner) for making our stay enjoyable.
The whole hotel was well run everyone was very friendly & always smiled a greeting. The rooms were were kept very clean as was the bathroom .which in my view is very important. A kettĺe, tea & coffee was provided & topped up every day. There's a table & two chairs on a balcony too should you want to sit outside. We would love to come again.

we have just had a great week end here
It is a largish hotel and slightly impersonal for that, and as with many larger venues had external events both afternoons and evening we were there which did add to teh noise levels a bit
However we were moved after one night from out original noisy room, with a big smile and nothing is too much trouble
However top floor rooms do have balconies, but they are tiny, adn original design flaw, and take 1 chair and 1 table, which we thought was quite funny
The spa was lovely and lying in teh sun reading my book as great
location wise, the bus stop is seconds away and if you need it waitrose is opposite.
We paid £10 for a taxi from teh airport and £10 taxi from st peters port late at night. The buses are £1 per ticket per trip, so we got used to using them
WE want to go back, but might try a different hotel and try some where smaller and more homely
but would defiantly recommend

My friend and I stayed for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. There was a wedding there this weekend and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were seen to! The spa facilities are great - sauna, steam, and an enormous pool. Plus Su beds aplenty and an outdoor jacuzzi.
We had a fabulous weekend there and would really recommend it. It is about a mile and a half from the town centre but we really enjoyed the walk.

My wife and I stayed in the hotel for 4 nights whilst attending a conference. We stayed in room 325. Overall it is a good hotel.
Good points - the service in the bar is excellent- the bar staff are professional, the drinks and snacks are good. The spa, pool and fitness facilities are first class - better than most hotels. The decking area with views of the lake is an ideal place to relax. Our room had a balcony / seating area. The breakfast is good.
Other points - the decor in our room was dated - it looks as if it has been refurbished, if it has they should have removed the wooden balustrade by the door. There was some staining on the bathroom ceiling and one of the light bulbs needed to be replaced. The sandwiches which we were served during a working lunch were incredibly dull. Our room did not have A/C.
Worst point - my wife paid £35 for a manicure which only lasted a few hours. She didn't complain other than to me! I noted this on the feedback email that the hotel sent me after our stay. I received a good email from the acting general manager informing me that the spa staff would contact me separately to follow this up - I'm still waiting!
Other then the slip up with the manicure and worse the lack of follows up - it was a good experience.
