This hotel is possibly one of try e best hotels we have ever stayed in. From start to finish the staff go the extra mile to ensure the perfect stay. The reception we received was exemplary. The rooms are top notch. The food is fantastic especially the afternoon tea and the curry room.

Myself and my sister visited the SPA as not long ago she celebrated her Birthday and I have not been feeling well. We decided to treat ourselves with Full Body Hot Stone Massage.
We had a wonderful experience that started from the moment we made the booking. We were greeted and looked after by the gentleman at reception ( apologies I didn’t get your name). Service was very efficient and professional. Very friendly and helpful with an eye for detail.
And big thank you to both ladies ( massage therapists). You left us feeling renewed.
Thank you for all you effort and we definitely will be visiting the SPA again very soon.

Our thanks to all the wonderful staff who made our wedding anniversary so special. Very warm welcome from Kris and the outstanding service just continued - In our 20 + years of retirement and travelling extensively, this was the best hotel experience ever. The breakfast, afternoon tea and evening meals were amazing, bed so comfortable and all the extras were a real bonus.

Excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble by the staff . Chris at the reception particularly was very welcoming , talked us through everything to do with our stay and just looked after our every need.
The room was well appointed and with stylish decor.
Fabulous breakfasts looking out over the sea.

Hooray - The sweetie jars have returned🤣 Thank you for bringing this lovely little luxury back after pandemic.
Normally stay in their sister hotel (Duke of Richmond) but second visit to The old Government House hotel. Both hotels are amazing with staff that can’t do enough for you. Rooms kept beautifully clean with added luxury of evening turn down service
Ideally situated to St Peter’s Port which is only short walk and all other attractions around the island.
Can’t recommend enough. Lovely hotel with lovely staff. Looking forward to our return visit already.

Our experience at The Old Government House Hotel was absolutely amazing. The hotel was really lovely and the staff were ‘second to none!’ Nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly and helpful - would have to give a special ‘shout out’ to Pamela in the restaurant and Roberto ‘front of house’ . We had an afternoon tea and I am a coeliac - would have to say, the best gluten free afternoon tea I have ever had! 😁

What a superb end-to-end 5 day experience at OGH Hotel, St. Peter Port.
Amazing staff, everyone of them and plenty too, to look after us.
Great Queen room, great breakfast and dinner choices.
Afternoon tea was first class and more than plentiful.
We were treated like royalty and made to feel very special, not overly fussed over but just right; a friendly, knowledgable and very professional team.
Decor is sort of old colonial style and just fitting for this wonderful place, steeped in history.
It's not cheap, but we found it amazing and great quality.
You get what you pay for.
The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the harbour area and 15 minutes transfer from the airport - we used Island Coachways who were great, polite and prompt.
Buy a 'Puffin' bus card (£4 for the card) and top it up with rides at £1.15 each to go anywhere for that price, though if you want to go all round the island, break the journey along the way, get a coffee or lunch, then get back on otherwise you'll incur a £10 all-round non-stop cost.
Lots of lovely coastal walks easy to get to and from, on the excellent bus services.
We did the walk from Rousse Tower to Pembroke Bay - an easy walk, circa 4km, with bus stops at start and finish.
The Beach House cafe at Pembroke Bay did really nice soups.
The Tourist Information centre staff in St. Peter Port were really helpful.
Don't miss the Occupation Museum - a mere 10 minutes walk from the airport with regular bus services, just a 15-20 minute ride away.
We also really enjoyed Pier 17 (had lovely Brill and mixed fish ) and La Perla (had lovely bream and scallops) restaurants.

Originally we weren’t supposed to be in this establishment, but we ended up there due to an unforeseen event in the hotel booked initially...
The welcome was just great, where we felt good. Unaccustomed to the standing of a 5 star hotel, the hotel team showed great sympathy and warm empathy, benevolent and smiling.
Special thanks to Kris and Pamela, who were able to pamper us with perfect French and consider us privileged hosts. Really very friendly, and with little care...
Of all the high standing establishments we have had the opportunity to frequent in Europe (mainly 4 stars and rare 5 stars such as the waldorf astoria of Versailles ) the OGH team is to be ranked in first place!
The hotel itself is of a very British class, of great charm and the restaurant is superb .. Very stylish decoration without being ostentatious.
The bedding is of excellent quality.
Here, what more to say ... magnificent and unforgettable stay largely due to this exceptional team.

An excellent hotel. The room was clean and tidy. The rest of the hotel was also clean and tidy. We were upgraded to a higher grade room, which was fantastic! The service from all the staff was exceptional. They really live up to their five star rating. The restaurant, bar, front of house and Spa staff were just spot on for giving five star service. I was celebrating my birthday with my husband, and they really made it special. It was very touching .Thank you OGH staff. Keep up the fantastic work!
