It is such a beautiful hotel. The breakfast room is all green, the rooms are lovely and comfortable, the view is gorgeous, great location, service is good. I couldn't fault anything here. The cushions have little dogs embroidered..it is just too charming!

I liked that on the video welcome it said; "come as a guest, leave as a friend, return as family." But actually I was greeted as family and nothing was too much for anyone in the hotel. Shout-outs to Kris, Roberto, Thanusha, Siya, Devon, Jose, Mario, Christina and Fatima.... and heck, I may be biased but Abigail is also great!
I liked my room, as with Guernsey in general you do feel that you are going back in time but the bed was very comfortable and if something wasn't in the room, you could always ask for it. All the food was delicious and everywhere was warm and cosy. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and can heartily recommend the hotel.

The staff went the extra mile with a glass of fizz on check-in. Then we were upgraded to a sea view room and when we had an additional request nothing was too much trouble. Lovely cocktails in the bar and the breakfast was fab too. Friendly service by ever member of their team.

First time in Guernsey. Like time travelling to a world where there was no litter no graffiti no potholes no grumpy people, and hotels like the OGH existed.
What a beautiful hotel. The interior suitably old-fashioned, but stylish and lovingly maintained. Cosy lounge, with a fire.
Our room was comfortable, huge bed. A thoughtful touch is that the television sound cannot be turned up too high, so no noise from next door.
Some rooms have a bath.
Room 220 is particularly good if you want to be away from occasional street noise, and has a view of the harbour, but no bath.
The staff... what can one say. What a nice bunch of friendly, highly professional people, not least the GM who is very visible and doesn't need a GM badge to keep things ticking along.
The breakfast buffet is both decorative and dangerous. Take an elastic belt! Dinner, we ate in every evening and were never disappointed, both in the bistro and the curry room where this curry newbie enjoyed a mild but very tasty meal.
Unlike some restaurants where the emphasis is on presentation, here one has both the presentation and the quantity. Take an elastic belt! Oh, I already said that.
It was our 50th wedding anniversary. We were made to feel quite special, culminating in a surprise celebration cake one evening.
All in all, hard to imagine a better holiday or a better place to stay.

This is a fine hotel in the classical sense. The decor is traditional and comfortable with a layout that has evolved not planned. We only ate dinner in the restaurant once during our stay, the food was beautifully prepared and presented. The cold duck parfait starter was disappointing but the main courses excellent. Sadly the restaurant was empty so lacked atmosphere but it was February and we were staying on a special offer deal. The bedroom was a queen room cozily furnished with a super king bed and walk-in rain shower in the en-suite that was easy to operate and worked perfectly. No sea view, but we did not expect one at the price paid. The breakfasts are very good with a buffet and menu choice, the coffee is ‘hotel coffee’. All the staff in reception, bar, restaurant and chamber are lovely and professional in what they do. Definitely stay again when we can get back to this super island.

Our stay at the ogh was excellent! Our room was great with fantastic views over the harbour.
We found a bottle of bubbly and a cake in the room to mark our celebration! The food was wonderful, endless choices at breakfast! The atmosphere in the hotel was calm and peaceful. Special thanks to all the staff who were very friendly and pleasant. A big shout out to kris who went out of his way to make our stay especially enjoyable.

Our 4 day break at the OGH was perfect - the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast each morning was the highlight, so many choices and beautifully presented. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and the meal was superb and unhurried; my son was presented with a special dessert as they found out it was his birthday - a lovely touch and much appreciated. We also had afternoon tea which was delicious. The gym and spa facilities are very good, my son used the gym a couple of times and we used the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna and were lucky enough to have it to ourselves. The rooms are very comfortable with complimentary water every day and a choice of pillows to suit everyone.
We had a lovely family break and would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for something a bit special.

This hotel is possibly one of try e best hotels we have ever stayed in. From start to finish the staff go the extra mile to ensure the perfect stay. The reception we received was exemplary. The rooms are top notch. The food is fantastic especially the afternoon tea and the curry room.

Myself and my sister visited the SPA as not long ago she celebrated her Birthday and I have not been feeling well. We decided to treat ourselves with Full Body Hot Stone Massage.
We had a wonderful experience that started from the moment we made the booking. We were greeted and looked after by the gentleman at reception ( apologies I didn’t get your name). Service was very efficient and professional. Very friendly and helpful with an eye for detail.
And big thank you to both ladies ( massage therapists). You left us feeling renewed.
Thank you for all you effort and we definitely will be visiting the SPA again very soon.

Our thanks to all the wonderful staff who made our wedding anniversary so special. Very warm welcome from Kris and the outstanding service just continued - In our 20 + years of retirement and travelling extensively, this was the best hotel experience ever. The breakfast, afternoon tea and evening meals were amazing, bed so comfortable and all the extras were a real bonus.
