Quirky ( in a good way!) hotel in a good location in St Peter’s Port. I had two nights here on Biz and it was a very comfortable stay. The hotel provides a lot for its size including nice extra touches such as turn down services ( with Chocs!) something that sadly you don’t see as often these days. I had several meals and breakfasts in the hotel, all were very good, the hotel manager ran a tight ship and was hands on ( Alexandro I believe apologies if I have mis spelt) I spoke with the hotel manager Andrew a couple of times during my stay, he was to his credit a very visible and personable manager and this rubs off on the staff who were all polite, friendly and keen to help.

What a fabulous hotel. As soon as we arrived the amazing customer service began.
We had a fantastic time in this beautiful hotel. Our room was incredible with a stunning view of the port.
Josh and Roberto - Charlie at the gym - fantastic people - who genuinely were kind and helpful. There was also a lovely man who did the rooms and turn down service. I didn’t catch his name but he was so kind.
All the staff are just great. The location is perfect. Guernsey is beautiful. The breakfast is outstanding and we enjoyed the spa. We would come back just to enjoy the hotel. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you for a great memories !

Hubby surprised me with a 4 night stay at the OGH for our 30th wedding anniversary. We stayed in a Seaview king with balcony room. The staff were really welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The room was really lovely and the bed super comfortable. The bottles of spring water were really nice too and the tea and coffee. The Brasserie breakfast was delicious each morning and again the staff were wonderful. On our anniversary the staff gave us a lovely piece of cake with a nice message and card which was a lovely touch and gave us glasses of prosecco with our afternoon tea, now that was superb, the sandwiches were divine and the Halloween cakes were so cute. We had dinner in the Brasserie and Curry Room during our stay and both meals were excellent and again the staff were fantastic. The concierge was so helpful especially with the umbrella on a very rainy day. The turn down service was fab and we loved the towel elephant. The only niggle we had was the grout on the floor tiles in the bathroom was missing and I caught my foot on the tile but we just covered it with a bath mat as we didn't want to be awkward or make a fuss. The bath also had a piece of enamel missing but we used the shower so that wasn't a problem and certainly didn't stop our enjoyment of the hotel or our stay. We would definitely stay again the OGH is just perfect

The place is superb (superbly British), very warmly decorated for the end of the year. A team at the top, managed by the fabulous Kris (frontdesk). Great New Year's Eve party (dinner + 2 hours of dancing) and rest the next day. A very good choice that I recommend and especially take the time to have a drink and / or tea in the different bars of the establishment.

We booked a three night stay, Mon 5th - Thu 8th January, mainly a three day break for my birthday.
Your hotel was exceptional and the staff incredible, they went over and above looking after us and ensuring we had an amazing stay, including helping make my birthday certainly one to remember.
After we checked out on Thursday, we received the news that our flight back to Southampton had been cancelled due to the storm. We rang the hotel reception, explained our predicament and the lady said to my wife, "Do you want to come home?" which we certainly felt it to be just like home.
Again we were looked after, made to feel special and given the same room.
On the Friday after we checked out, we were even at the airport and about to board the plane when again the flight was cancelled due to, 'Operational reasons!"
Again we called the hotel for another night, were given the same room and again spoilt by the staff.
So our original three night stay turned into five nights, which turned out not to be a hardship as the hotel staff exceeded our expectations making the five nights
All this made us feel that we certainly got value for money.
So many thanks for everything, much appreciated. We’ll be back.

We’ve just returned from the most beautiful, blissful stay at the Old Government House Hotel and Spa, and honestly, there is nothing we could fault—other than wishing we’d stayed longer.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel completely at home. We were welcomed with a glass of fizz by Kris on reception, who remembered little details from a previous stay, instantly making us feel like valued returning guests. That personal touch set the tone for the entire visit and made it clear we could truly relax.
We were very kindly upgraded to a stunning Queen Superior room, which had been thoughtfully decorated for our anniversary. The room was immaculate, and the newly refurbished bathroom was beautiful. Every member of staff we encountered was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive.
The team in the brasserie especially Pamela deserve a special mention for going above and beyond to accommodate dietary requirements—nothing was ever too much trouble, and for being so genuine and warm. The service throughout was exceptional and effortless. Also thanks Ryan in the bar for the best cocktails and always service with a smile!
This hotel is one of the very few places where we can genuinely switch off, and that alone makes it incredibly special. To top it all off, we had the most amazing massage from the wonderful spa team—an absolute highlight of the stay.
From the fabulous food, drinks and incredible staff to the thoughtful details throughout, our experience was completely faultless. We wouldn’t change a thing, other than staying longer, and we can’t wait to find an excuse to return.
Highly recommended.

A Piece of Perfection in St Peter Port
My stay at The Old Government House Hotel & Spa (OGH) was an absolute delight, an oasis of quiet luxury and traditional charm that far exceeded all expectations. As the only five-star hotel on the island, the OGH lives up to its prestigious reputation in every possible way.
From the moment of arrival, the staff were exceptional. The front desk staff treated us like friends returning home. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, who consistently demonstrated a warm, professional, and genuinely attentive approach that made us feel special throughout our entire stay. The level of hospitality here is truly second to none.
Our room was beautiful, elegantly furnished, and immaculately clean, with plush bathrobes and high-quality amenities. We were fortunate to have a stunning sea view, offering breathtaking vistas of the harbour and the neighboring islands of Herm and Sark. The comfort was outstanding, ensuring a perfect night's sleep in a tranquil environment.
The food and drink options are a highlight. Breakfast in the lovely Brasserie restaurant was a magnificent spread of buffet items and made-to-order hot options. We also had the pleasure of dining in the intimate Curry Room at The Governor's, where the authentic Indian cuisine was simply divine. The beautiful setting and superb service elevated every meal.
The Old Government House is more than just a hotel; it is an experience of classic elegance and unparalleled service that will leave you with a warm, glowing feeling of contentment and a longing to return. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
