We had a wonderful stay at the OGH. The staff here were all incredible and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The staff are a massive credit to this beautiful hotel and we would definitely stay here again should we ever return to Guernsey.

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.

A truly excellent 5 star hotel with superb staff . We had an upgrade to a King Room as we went out of the main season . The bed had an excellent mattress and the temperature of the room was just right for us ( 18 C ). We stayed for a week and had dinner every night except one . The cooked food was of a uniformly very high standard and was reasonably priced for the quality . The hotel is also very convenient for the shopping centre and buses.

I wanted to take the time to confirm that our recent stay at OGH, certainly exceeded our expectations. We were originally booked to stay at the Duke of Richmond and were advised, that we had been moved to OGH as they were undertaking reburbishments. We stayed at OGH for our wedding anniversary a couple of years ago and that stay was great.
This time we travelled with my daughter and her boyfriend and it was his first visit to Guernsey. From us entering and being offered a glass of fizz, the service has been exemplary. Particularly Stuart, always with a bit of information on where to visit. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to sea view King rooms. As part of the package we undertook a cocktail masterclass. We were taught by David, his wife (apologies but I did not get her name) and Jeffrey. This class was amazing and I would certainly consider booking a follow up as they advised, not something I would have originally thought of. We will be using the skills and information we learned at home. The samples were plentiful, with canapés also. The choice of breakfast is lovely and all of our meals used top notch produce. I used the gym briefly and can confirm there being a lot of choice in equipment. I also had a treatment in the spa, which again is a lovely setting. The location of the hotel is so convenient, being only just off the main shopping area, however it is uphill coming back, but then that is Guernsey.
I did not take the names of all the staff, but everyone from the person servicing our room, reception, concierge and restaurant staff, were fantastic and made us all feel very special.
I had already been recommending OGH to friends and colleagues, but now even more so.

I stayed at the hotel on a recent business trip. What a beautiful hotel, well situated with friendly and helpful staff who do their utmost to make your stay memorable. Just to mention Owethu at the reception desk was an absolute delight upon arrival.
She was friendly, engaging, very helpful and efficient. The first impression of her was her genuine, larger than life smile which was absolutely priceless. I will definitely be back!

Such a lovely hotel with very pleasant staff. On arrival at the hotel we were made to feel so welcome, with a welcome drink. The rooms were of a good size and comfortable. Prior to our stay we completed a pre arrival form and all requests were met. We had to extend our visit due to storm Bert, this was arranged with little effort by reception. Hope to be able to visit again in the near future.

My husband, our dog and I decided to spend Christmas away this year.
We have been to Guernsey before and always loved it. We had not stayed at The Old Government House before, however.
It was an excellent choice. We could not have been made to feel more welcome. The staff go out of their way to make their guests feel special. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the season, and we had the best curry ever in the Governors Room
We very much look forward to returning.

Wonderful four nights at the Old Government Hotel. Exceptional service throughout, the staff couldn't do enough for you. Special mention to Kris and Roberto. Breakfast was lovely with an extensive menu. Our king size room was really comfortable. We will be back.

We had booked to stay for 4 nights at the Duke of Normandy, where we were attending a New Years Eve event. We were contacted a few days before, explaining they would be closing the day after the event, so they had upgraded us to their sister hotel the OGH.
They had arranged everything for us. We had a beautiful room with a balcony as we had 2 small dogs. They were provided with beds and bowls and were treated like VIPs.
On the evening of the event at the D of N, we were transported to and from the event by the OGH. The D of N had also prepared a suite where our dogs could stay during the evening so we could check on them.
All staff at both hotels were amazing. The rooms were beautiful and attention was paid to the smallest of details. I could not recommend them more.
We look forward to returning in the summer for a dip in the pool.
