The hotel is superb.
We asked to change room as the shower room only facility wasn’t to our liking.
Kris sorted an alternative room out extremely quickly and we were more than satisfied with the new accommodation.
All the staff made us feel special and nothing was too much trouble.
The breakfasts were exceptional but the evening meals were even better.
My friend who recommended the Old Government House has been thanked (i have even gone as far a promising him a meal out on me next week).
If you want a relaxing break with five star treatment. Look no further.
Many thanks to the hotel and staff.

This hotel is a historic treasure. The athmosphere is like in a dream. Very, i mean, very nice staff and the service is topclass all the way. My best breakfast ever. The old hotel with those many stairs make this place something very special

We had a fantastic long weekend break here and could not fault the hotel, the staff are brilliant throughout, from Breakfast which was superb to housekeeping and the bar staff, it was always service with a smile,
Govind and the team here have a real can do attitude and leave you feeling nothing could be to much trouble.
all I can add is we cant wait to return! and we will be soon.
many thanks for a superb break. Paul and Elaine.

Just returned from 4 nights at this nice hotel. The USP of this hotel is their staff and their attention to detail is outstanding. The restaurant serves food of the highest quality with service to match. Where we struggle to offer equal praise is on a few fronts. The room we had (201) was very tired and needs some attention. The carpet had some very dodgy stains and the windows were very difficult to open or shut particularly in the toilet where we couldn’t shut the upper part of the window. The walk-in shower was reasonably ok but my wife who has mobility problems due to MS found it very difficult to get in and out due to a large step. When we book a hotel we always insist on a ground level wet room/shower and we thought we made this known prior to arrival. The hotel offers a nice turn down service but that never happened on our final night! Finally, always check with this hotel if they’re hosting a wedding reception as the priority seemed to lean towards the wedding as opposed to residents, we we’re actually asked to leave the garden to make way for pre-wedding drinks for the wedding party! To be fair to the manager, he notified us of increased noise until midnight and get to breakfast early to avoid having to wait at peak times. The irony of this notification is that we couldn’t avoid the loud music as we couldn’t shut the window; see early references!
Finally, when we arrived at the airport and picked a taxi from the rank the price was always metered and the charge was perfectly acceptable. When we booked a taxi for the return trip to the airport through the OGH reception after leaving the hotel the meter was turned off and the cost was double to that of our inward journey! Our advice is tread carefully and agree costs before leaving. We felt we were well and truly shafted!!
We hope you find these points constructive and are expressed with honesty.

OGH is a real find. Staff are super professional and nothing is too much trouble with Guest Services Manager, Govind Prathap and Restaurant Manager Alessandro being absolutely on top of their game.
Quite the best Lobster Thermidor I have ever tasted.
Comfortable beds and well fitted bathrooms.
Return visit already in the diary.
Highly recommended.

This hotel is 5 stars and felt it. The service was impeccable but really friendly. Everyone was great but the chap on reception (Tom, I think) made us feel both at home and like nothing was too much trouble from minute one. He was great. We soon met Noks when we had curry. Again gave you the all the service you could ask for but was personalble. She would ask after each course if the food was enjoyable. Noks, your service with a smile was enjoyable. Malcolm in the bar was also brilliant. He really knows how to make a cocktail. We did the cocktail making course and that was great way to find out the basics so I can experiement. Again he was super friendly. The food was brilliant the curry was great, the afternoon tea was wonderful, the breakfast was lovely. Litterally no complaints, it was all enjoyable. The room has excellent air con, the pool was really relaxing and the kiddies pool.was great for lounging in. Honestly it was about as good a as gets. OGH is not a cheap place to stay. But feels costly rather than expensive. By that I mean it was worth the money. I would absolutely return.

Just returned from a lovely stay in Guernsey to celebrate our Golden Wedding. We stayed at the Old Government House or as all the islanders call it The OGH. It is a lovely high quality hotel, we wanted everything to be great for our special occasion and it was. Best of all were the staff who were all so helpful and friendly nothing was any trouble for them. We were given a glass of bubbly on arrival and a cake they made on our anniversary day. Memorable meal in the lovely restaurant made it a time to recall with much happiness. We can really recommend The OGH for anyone wanting a lovely relaxing break in such a beautiful setting, so thanks again to all the wonderful staff well done.
