We have stayed in OGH couple of times over 10 years ago but the rooms were not convenient, too many steps and some distance. Being a little older I asked the hotel for a more convenient room with the same facilities in advance. They responded immediately confirming they have taken my request in hand. On our arrival we were very pleased to be taken to 138 as it was much more convenient, a bright room with excellent sea views and a welcoming card and anniversary treats.
The curtains could to with rope ties as opposed chairs the hold them back. Facilities in the room were excellent and my wife really enjoyed the bath, the right size etc, but for me the shower is too small. I think it is possible to make it a little bigger from the space in the bathroom. Nevertheless all the other facilities of the shower were good.
We were impressed with all the staff, particularly the multicultural aspect. It was refreshing to see the staff from so many countries abroad enjoying their work in Guernsey.
Breakfast excellent choice, and restaurant/bar good too.
A small point when checking out there was a £10 daily service for tips, for other staff etc, but we were told they could remove if we want. Personally that helped me a I wanted to leave something extra but perhaps this should have been mentioned beforehand.

We found this a very classy and yet informal and modern facilities hotel. The location is good, just a short walk from the main shopping and sea front and with great views. The Brasserie restaurant was excellent (we ate breakfast, one dinner and one afternoon tea there and all were great.
What really made this superb though is the staff. All were very friendly, helpful and effective and there were always plenty of staff on hand for us even when they were also hosting formal event dinners.
And a big thanks for how well they coped with out arrival being delayed by 24 hours by weather

Our 6 day stay at the OGH was arranged via channelescapes, to celebrate our 'ruby' wedding anniversary. To begin with we so impressed with the initial welcome by the front of house staff. Our room was very adequate for us and all the facilities were much appreciated. Everyone of the staff were very attentive and always customer focused. We really enjoyed the sumptuous breakfasts on offer which set us up for the day! We had 3 evening meals at the hotel [the other 2 we were out on trips] which were all excellent and well prepared. On the actual anniversary day, after the meal, we were treated to a celebration cake which was a great surprise [I expect our cards on the dressing table gave it away!]. Amazingly, another couple on the next table to us were also celebrating their 'ruby' and were presented with a similar cake too. Overall, we were treated so very well, it felt like we were part of a family, only better!!

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at The Old Government House Hotel, celebrating our recent 80th birthdays. We have nothing but praise and appreciation for the fantastic staff throughout the hotel, all of whom were totally focused on providing excellent service. We would particularly like to mention Kriss (Reception Manager), Roberto (Concierge), Alessandro, Pamela and Tenjye (Restaurant) and Sukiyaki (Housekeeping) all of whom went 'above and beyond' to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
The delightful chocolate birthday cake, left in our room on our first day, was a lovely surprise, and very much appreciated. We ate two evening meals and an Afternoon Tea at the hotel, all of which were delicious and very well presented and served. The breakfast menu was exceptional, and the Continental Selection extensive.
The hotel decor, furniture and furnishings were attractive and absolutely in character with the building, and the bed was very comfortable. It must be a constant challenge to maintain such a beautiful old building and we feel this was generally in very good order.
Our stay at the OGH was wonderful and has provided us with many happy memories. We hope to be able to return to this lovely hotel and beautiful Island one day.

Really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel. Really lovely big rooms. Comfortable lounge and bar area. Very pretty restaurant with an excellent breakfast. Nice heated pool for a dip, even in inclement weather. Although the hotel is atop a hill, the 71 bus service drops you just round the corner if you cannot face the walk up. Very near to shops and the harbour. The 71 bus is also handy coming from the airport. The service at the hotel from the lovely staff was excellent. Lots of nice little touches and cannot wait to stay again.

This rare hotel is full of old world charm and with incredibly special personal service with a lovely dining experience. The staff were incredibly kind to my elderly parents and went out of their way to discretely care for their particular needs

Attended a cocktail masterclass while on holiday at sister hotel. The session was brilliant. The 3 bar staff were all so lovely-friendly, excellent teachers and made it a great evening. Took us from complete amateurs to having some skill!

A cocktail masterclass in the Crown bar was a part of the deal when staying at the sister hotel and we were not disappointed. Over the course of two hours plus Jeffery took us from the basics of making a Daiquiri through to more advanced cocktails, techniques and shortcuts. Jeffery was extremely flexible adapting to the preferences of the class and kept up a regular supply of samples which were supported by some excellent canapés. The session was hugely enjoyable, educational and a great way to spend a wet and windy Sunday afternoon. I just hope I can remember it all.
