Not really 5 star. Entrance misleading we drove and could not park, the very small lay by area would have blocked several cars behind on anns place, only single carriage way we drove off & promptly got lost. The room allocated,107, was not 5 star, the route from the lift was down a long corridor and then from a corner accessed via a tortuous spiral stairway further& two steps to the door. My wife is not disabled but with a heart condition found this, as the week went on a problem. No where on the website is it flagged that some areas were difficult to access, even I found it somewhat intimidating. We never thought for one minute that we should have flagged this up when booking & not to the extent of requesting a " disabled " room. The room itself by 5 star standards poor huge heavy sofa type furniture directly in front of the bay window and in front a large heavy type of coffee table marked and stained to a large extent. Early morning calls missed on three occasions. Incredibly the evening Brasserie menus were the same every day & told that they never change, 5 star never! The staff however were excellent apart from one incidence on reception who could obviously understand our taxi booking request. Particularly of note were concierge Roberto & Langa Breakfasts were a highlight good choices and could not be faulted and of course the excellent Allessandro who is a great asset to the OGH. Another couple we befriended had similar views & even described much of the adornments as (Tat ) Would we recommend most definitely not, stay again no, we have visited Guernsey many times & had far better hotels at a fraction of the cost at OGH, this was pushing the boat out for a special occasion so bitterly disillusioned and upset. G A & A Ward 20th to 27th June room 107.

Beautiful place to rest and enjoy the island in the heart of Saint Peter. Many thanks to Kris for his kindness and availability as well as the restaurant staff who are charming. Hotel rather suitable for couples without children.

A mini break staying at the OGH was everything I could possible have hoped for and more. Travelling on my own with a disabled family member can throw up a number of challenges. Our experience exceeded our high expectations.
The rooms were comfortable and the food excellent. But more than that the staff worked tirelessly to do all in their power to ensure we had a lovely stay. They showed great attention to detail were personable and nothing was too much h trouble.
It was a great pleasure to have stayed, even if the weather had forgotten it was summer!

Our second stay at this amazing hotel and we cannot fault it in any way. From when we arrived to be greeted with a glass of procesco, the staff are all so friendly and welcoming, it felt like we were staying with old friends. The room was amazing, very spacious and spotlessly cleaned every day. Like last year, it does seen a little unfair to name staff when all were exceptional, but we have to say a big thank you to Andrew the driver, Christina and Stuart front of house and Alice in the breakfast room, who were all great. And sorry to see Tom no longer there! Andrew, thank you again for a fantastic stay and for having such an amazing team of staff, we are sure you are ver6 proud of them all. Hope to stay again next year.

We had an enjoyable stay here, the team were always friendly and attentive.
Our room was large and had some great views over the port, we ran out of time to use the pool, but looked nice and well attended by the team.
Breakfast was lovely in the garden, menu was extensive and there was a buffet with a few further items. Even when it was busy you were never ignored or abandoned like in some hotels.
We had dinner one night and the food was simple but tasty and the team attentive.
We would consider coming back, but its parent company needs to spend some serious cash. The hotel feels like it needs some love and attention (investment) it’s maintained and clean but not like other Red Carnation hotels we have visited. Maybe due to the fact it’s in a seasonal location?

My wife and I recently stayed at Old Government House for 3 nights for a wedding.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were impressed by how friendly and accommodating all the staff were, how clean the hotel was and how efficient the service was.
Our room, though on the small side, was extremely comfortable and had a fantastic view over the hotel swimming pool and the port. It was efficiently serviced twice a day.
The breakfast menu was extensive and the food tasty and of good quality.
We look forward to visiting again before too long.

Perfect long lunch! A group of six friends went for a long lunch yesterday. One couple were guests, otherwise we wouldn’t have discovered it. The food was fabulous. Especially the crab cakes and the avocado hummus starter, the fish of the day and the chocolate brownie dessert. We stayed so long chatting and drinking that we had sandwiches for supper as well. They were also all excellent. Extensive wine menu. The outstanding staff made it a very memorable occasion.
