Just back from an amazing trip to Guernsey. We stayed at the OGH hotel in the heart of St Peter Port. It certainly lived up to its 5 stars. From the moment we walked through the door we were made welcome by reception staff and Roberto the concerige Manager (who had a smile and chat for everyone ) who gave us a guided tour of the Hotel with a welcome drink , a lovely touch. From the restaurant staff who were attentive and professional to the chap who cleaned our room and created an Elephant from towels. First class service from everyone and nothing was too much trouble. As it was our wedding Anniversary the general manager left a lovely kind note and gift in our room. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

First class service and presentation from the welcome drink when we arrived to the sincere good luck, hope to see you again on departure day.
Special mention to the very hardworking staff, always helpful, always with a smile on their faces. Nothing too much trouble.
Well equipped gym & spa and a heated outdoor pool. Centrally located in a good position , our room had a view of the harbour.
It’s the little bits that this hotel offers that makes it special, like a little confectionery gift that is left every night with the turn down service.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Old Government House hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were so welcoming and attentive and the whole experience made you feel special.
We look forward to staying again in the near future.

Just had a week’s holiday here and cannot find anything negative to say! What a wonderful hotel! Everything about it was first class from the moment we arrived. All the staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The bedroom was beautiful and the linens and towels were of the highest quality. Breakfast in the lovely dining room was plentiful with choices to suit even the fussiest of eaters!
We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and hope to make a return visit.

A very old-fashioned hotel, which is a big plus these days.
PRO’S:-
Every one of the staff provide exemplary service in a friendly & efficient way, from reception, concierge, restaurants, bars, spa, housekeeping etc. They are all a real credit to the manager.
The food was excellent, particularly at breakfast. No chance of getting bored with the same food over a 5 night stay.
CON’S:-
We stayed in a suite where the air con was quite inefficient - OK for us as the temperature didn’t get above 20 degrees during our stay, but if your’e staying during a warm spell in summer it might get uncomfortable.
The shower in our suite was a 600 x 600 cubicle - too small for a 6 footer like me.
The spa is basic and not up to the standard of more modern hotel facilities. If this is important to you I would suggest you consider staying elsewhere. Also although the outdoor pool area is nice, the pool is only heated to 25 degrees, so a bit chilly at this time of the year. There is no easy access from the spa to the pool, although each have their own changing rooms.
We had a family with young children staying above us and we could hear them running across the floor - up to 10.30 at night & from 07.00 in the morning. Not the hotels fault, but the lack of sound insulation between floors in these circumstances is an issue.
We would definitely stay again if we return to Guernsey in the future.

Old school proper hospitality. Whilst we received amazing hospitality on the majority of the trip, it could do with a few tweeks. Some of the rooms are noisy due to the spa and air con units. Service was mostly 5* but one day was really lacking & couldn't get a boiled egg correct. On the whole the portions at breakfast were huge, the staff v friendly, although one person spent her time chatting instead of serving so took half hr to take order. They did go above and beyond mostly & I wouldn't hesitate to go back. Lovely atmosphere & friendly staff too

I not sure where to start. Wonderful hotel and staff I guess would be the best way. While visiting Guernsey I fell and broke my hip. We were only supposed to stay for 3 nights, but with my fall it ended up being 9 nights. I spent 5 nights in the hospital and the staff was more than accommodating. They went out of there way to make sure my wife was taken care of which was so comforting to me. They transported her back and forth from the hospital and hotel and the restaurant staff sent pastries each morning with her for me. I had surgery on my birthday and a couple of the staff came to the hospital with a delicious piece of cake and sang happy birthday. Just absolutely a wonderful hotel!

This was a fabulous hotel and a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff were on the detail, ensuring that everything was just as we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble. The level of service, the dining experience, the way our accomadation was serviced - all were excellent. I cannot thank the team at OGH enough. We will certainly be back!

What a superb hotel! All the staff are very professional, polite and courteous. The food is really good. It was our wedding anniversary whilst we were there and after a day out we returned to our room to find a cake and greetings. Lovely touch. The hotel is well situated for buses for sightseeing around the island and close to the port. We would highly recommend this hotel and will return. Beautiful sunrises. Our thanks especially to Owethu on reception, the concierge Roberto and Josh and Thanusha duty manager not forgetting Byron in the bar and Marsha I the restaurant. Thank you to all the staff for a really great week away from home.
