We went for a tennerfest in the Brasserie on a rainy Sunday afternoon, the best way to relax. We haven't been to the Brasserie part before, so we were really looking forward to our meals.
Staff were attentive and very friendly, a happy smile goes a long way. Also, we didn't have to wait long for our orders to come through, which is a plus when you come hungry.
The sea bass was delicious and the beef cheeks looked really good as well. For desserts we chose to have a cheesecake and if you like cheesecake, you will definitely enjoy this tennerfest menu!
Again, thank you very much to your hardworking team, we had an excellent afternoon and good luck.

Stayed at the OGH recently for 4 nights for our wedding anniversary. From the offset when we booked the staff were in touch to see if they could help in any way. Every staff member was friendly, helpful and could not do enough for us. The room we had (118) was fantastic, large, lovely view and as clean as any hotel room I have ever stayed in. I would also recommend the Brasserie restaurant which was great. Very well located for central Port St Peter and a short walk to the bus station

What can you say about OGH except OUTSTANDING
Service from the moment you walk in till you go is above 5Star service
The manger in the morning at breakfast service is outstanding nothing is a problem he makes you feel so welcome as do all the staff
We had a meal from the Tennerfest menu and it was so good ( Chef the beef cheeks were the best I have ever had ) and for £20.00 for 3 courses was very good value
Breakfast the choice is very good and all cooked fresh
Without doubt one of the best hotels I have been in for service and style and I am looking to have a stay in one of the other hotels in the chain as I was so impressed

Made to feel welcomed as soon as you walk through the door. As for house on the hill, the old government house is huge. The decor throughout is second to none. Food was out of this world and worth a visit just to try. Room had a lovely view of the harbour and adjustable aircon to keep the room warm on these wintery nights. Would definitely stay here again when I come back to the island. Also not far from the high street and local bars and restaurants.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Old Government House. A decadent, old-world charm oozing luxury hotel, perfectly located a top of a hill in central St Peter Port. The hotel is full of character and charm of by-gone years - with a number of differing rooms, nooks and crannies - the crown club was a highlight.
I stayed in a classic double room which was tiny. The room was on the small side - however, the bed was to die for, probably the best nights sleep I have had in a long time. Breakfast was very good, fresh and delicious which added to the overall experience, although the service was lacking in all honesty. Unfortunately, service or lack of, was a theme which is a real shame.
Would I return, absolutely. Lovely hotel, full of character and a great location. Unfortunately, the weather was horrid but will return and hopefully make use of the outside pool!

I was so looking forward to my trip to Guernsey and my time at The Old Government House hotel. Sadly, I have to say that my stay at this historic 5-star property fell flat. There was plenty of good, but too many little disappointments to give it a 5-star rating.
The good:
Quick response time to my inquiries before arrival
Beautiful property
Proximity to center of town
Large room
Some friendly staff (particularly one very friendly woman at the front desk)
Great massage treatment in the spa
Delicious dinner at La Brasserie
Hotel packed me a picnic lunch for my day of island exploration
The bad:
During check-in, the woman at reception repeated herself and asked me the same questions multiple times during check-in making me feel like she wasn't even listening.
Curry Room wouldn't seat me for dinner on my first night, even though they had multiple empty tables at 20:30.
My room still wasn't serviced at 15:00.
No one cleared my breakfast dishes, even though I lingered over a book at least 30 minutes after finishing.
No one to greet / seat me for my 15:00 afternoon tea reservation. When I was finally seated, I waited 20 minutes for someone to come and take an order.
No one was clearing towels at the pool, so there was no place to sit when I arrived late in the afternoon.
No pool service offered. I would expect a 5* hotel to have someone taking drink orders at the pool.

In October 2021, bilasukari said about Everest Lounge
We walked in on impulse because the competition across the street weren't offering the Sunday buffet advertised both on their website and in the window (bait and switch).
Three of us ordered three dishes to share. The young waiter was knowledgeable of the many dishes available. All dishes were beautifully presented, each tasting quite different and delicious. The service was impeccable, our water pitcher having been refilled without our even noticing.
At the end of the meal, a little ritual of pouring boiling water onto hand towel florets added the final touch. The environment is clean, fresh and belies the price range with crisp white linens and fresh roses on the table.
Cannot fault in any way – and, believe me, we are not the easiest Indian/Nepalese food diners to please. Can't believe the place wasn't packed with locals.

In October 2021, David B said about 360 Vehicle Leasing
Others said it all seemed too good to be true but added that it really was that good. I'm a Yorkshireman. 360 is in Bury (Lancashire not Manchester) so I was dubious. I took a chance after seeing the other reviews and I'm very happy that I did! (still dubious about Lancs though). Excellent throughout and many thanks to all at 360.
What do Yorkies like best? Saving brass and I just did!!!

In July 2015, Jason Marriott said about Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
The Garrick is an absolute treasure to our locality. It is always clean and tickets are always well priced making good value nights out. The staff are always great and were extremely helpful when my mother in law was taken ill during a show. It saddens me really that people are leaving negative reviews on the basis of a show they have seen that they did not enjoy, you wouldn't blame a cinema if you watched a bad film ? Obviously The Garrick don't write and produce every single show that they host so have some common sense please. Support your local theatre, because we are lucky to have such a good one.
