We had a superb stay at the Old Government Hotel and a special THANK YOU to Kris for all your help and organisation before we'd even arrived!
The service we received from every member of staff throughout our stay was the best we’ve ever experienced. They couldn't do enough for you and were so friendly and kind.
Breakfast was incredible, such a fantastic array of hot and cold food, either cooked to order or buffet style continental breakfast.
Our room - on the second floor - was massive and so quiet. The bed was also huge, and SO comfy! We slept really well and nice to have a 'pillow menu'!
And such a selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolate in the room. They have UHT milk as standard, but you can call room service to have fresh milk.
Of course, we just HAD to test out the (heated) swimming pool. It was just perfect. We would have liked to have tried the whirlpools, but they were closed for cleaning.
The hotel is in a central location, it takes about 3 minutes to walk into the High Street (downhill)! A bit more legwork required to get back to the hotel, quite a few steep roads to get back!
I spotted a brilliant Travelzoo offer at this fabulous hotel, this is somewhere I had wanted to visit for SO long. As part of the deal, we enjoyed the two delicious meals in the hotel, one in the Brasserie restaurant, and the other in the Curry House.
Just a word of warning - We were a little surprised at the drinks bill plus service charge and also when we checked out, there was a £10.00 per night for the room on the invoice.
We weren't offered tap water when dining in the Curry House on our first night, but thought paying £6.00 for a bottle of still water was a little steep (the same bottles of water are handed out free in your room).
I do appreciate we could have refused the service charge but feel it may have seemed a bit rude. Especially as the service and our stay was so amazing.
I just wanted to mention it in case others are contemplating taking advantage of the Travelzoo deal, just be prepared to spend a little more. The additional costs probably added an additional £65.00-£75.00 on the overall holiday.
However, we had a fantastic stay and we would love to visit again.

Your car is available to you through out the day on request from reception by the valet service. No charge is applied for this service.

The hotel also has an Indian restaurant which has a usual six tables in a small cosy room. Booking a table is advised as the food is prepared and served to a highly desirable taste sensation.
To sum up if you are looking for something special and exceptional service look no further.
A special mention from myself and I go out to an excellent member of the restaurant team. Pamela is an asset to this hotel. She has a great talent of delivering a great customer service. She was a delight to speak with and deserves a mention.

Lovely old hotel , packed with history and in a great location.
Food on the first night was really good but a little pricey , breakfast was also good on the first morning , however breakfast on the second morning was very much not up to standard , when the waitress removed my half eaten plate she asked if it was good , I replied just OK , and she smiled and removed my plate , was she listening , I don't think so . apart from that the staff were really professional , almost faultless . Room was ok , but very small but everything we needed

From the moment we arrived we were warmly greeted by the staff and check in went very smoothly. We had a tour of the hotel and our bags were taken to our room for us. We ate at some of the recommended restaurants and appreciated them being suggested to us. The housekeepers do an excellent job, their hard work is very much appreciated and we could not fault the cleanliness of the room! We enjoyed the evening treats after turn down too! The supplies of coffee and biscuits in the room were a nice touch and our water was regularly replaced when it ran out. The staff who work in the restaurant and bar are very attentive and made our breakfast there most enjoyable. The kitchen staff and chefs also deserve praise as everything we ate was delicious, we could not fault the food at all or the quality of the produce available like the fruit at breakfast. We used the space facilities twice, it was disappointing that the steam room was out of service. The sauna was great however did have a funny smell it could do with some aromas in there.
Our stay went so smoothly, it is a beautiful hotel and the staff and quality of everything was exceptional and we would definitely recommend your hotel and stay again!

We love this hotel. Although we had pre-
booked to stay in another hotel in St Peter Port, this was our go to place every evening. The Staff greeted us like old friends , especially Ryan the barman and the Piano player . The ambience was warm and friendly. Next time we come to Guernsey we will definitely book to stay here. Thank you all at Old Govt House hotel for helping to make our visit to the beautiful island of Guernsey so memorable

Visiting the area on business for one night. This is exactly my kind of food. Casual dining with small plates, Asian style. Super, friendly service. Small, but good wine list-lovely Viognier. Plus cocktails which looked interesting.
Enjoyed Duck Bao, Chicken Satay,Pork Cheek, delicious prawn dumplingsin delicious hot spicy Szechuan sauce & very crispy seaweed for a crunch contrast.

The food was gorgeous, I wasn't sure what to pick for my tapas style choices, but decided on ribs, chicken bau bun, chips & curry sauce. All were perfectly cooked.
The service was always with you a smile and very efficient.
Planning our next visit soon.
