As mentioned in the title, this was a lovely hotel, with fantastic staff that made you feel most welcome.
For the price I paid I was expecting high standards and was disappointed with the room. It was very dark and damp feeling. No view just overlooked a wall. For £230 I was expecting to at least see the sky. The room was very noisy as well no fault of the hotel just noisy guests next to me. The Internet was very hit and miss in the room and didn't work at all with my work laptop so Internet security wasn't the best. Also turndown service was far too late, after 9pm. Luckily only there one night.
On the plus side my dinner in the restaurant was to die for, with background piano player singing as well. I was a woman on my own but was never made to feel out of place.
Breakfast and lunch overlooking harbour was another treat.
If your coming to this hotel for all the mod cons you will be disappointed, lifts don't reach all floors and its up the top of a big hill.
But putting all the aside I would say it had a sort of old school charm that you don't get to see now days.
Refurb some rooms and better internet you would have got the full 5 stars

The service from excellent helpful friendly staff made this hotel one which we would happily return to. The only thing which disappointed us was the room size which was very small and the lack of hanging space. Two guests staying for a week need more than 18 inches of rail! That said was a very big comfortable bed with top quality bed linen and furnishings. Breakfast was excellent and special praise to Mr Ken Ramoo who welcomed us with a smile and by name every morning.

I decided to take a short trip to Guernsey having never visited the Island and having looked at the Old Government Hotel before as a possible place to stay decided that this was the hotel for my taste and what a wonderful experience it was. I had a Queens Room which was excellent, spotlessly clean with a very spacious, comfortable bed. The staff could not do enough to make my stay just right. The breakfast was very appetising and freshly served and both the Brasserie and Curry Room offered food of a very tasty quality, beautifully cooked to the highest standard. Would definitely return.

The sense of being enfolded in an elegance redolent of earlier times is irresistible, and this is a hotel which gradually impresses more and more. The cosmopolitan staff are helpful and willing, and we were impressed with the warmth of our reception. There were occasional unfortunate glitches for members of our group, and the fire alarm saga will remain long in our annals (the management's response to the inconvenience was exemplary). Food and service were excellent, as was our room - the generous space and delightful marine views came at a considerable price, however. We did not have time to sample the pool and spa - all of which looked very good, with most attractive grounds.
There is a real sense of style and quality - just a tad more consistency would make this a real star.

We love Guernsey and 'The OGH' as it is known locally. After some consideration of other hotels we decided to return, for our 5th visit, to The OGH. Not much has changed since our last stay except a really convivial enlarged bar. It was needed since it is a popular watering hole. This new facility continues albeit in a more contempory style the 'Gentlemens' Club' ambiance.
Our room, albeit one of their smaller ones was spotless, comfortable and the en-suite larger than in many hotels.
The public spaces, landings, terrace, garden, lounge, bar and restaurant are all lovely spaces in which to linger, relax and enjoy. Not a place to rush.
All the staff are friendly and helpful. However we did feel on this visit the standard of service in the restaurant was not quite as good as it was. A shame as that was a star quality which we hope will be restored.

Just picked up the Non Vegetarian set meal. Everything was well cooked and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the lamb dish. All dishes were fresh and there was plenty for three people. The meal was ready on time and COVID rules strictly adhered to. Definitely returning to try more dishes.

Gorgeous, fragrant Tibetan food. If you’ve never had momos before, give this place a try and make sure you order some for your starter. They’re juicy, delicious dumplings, you won’t regret it! You can get all the normal Indian dishes but do try the specials, they’re so different and exciting. Just what we needed tonight!

I must say...Everest Lounge is the best Indian in Harborough. I would go as far as saying you are one of my favourites and better than most in Leicester. Always a service with a smile. Keep it up 👍🏾

I have been regular to this place since it was open in Harborough. Their food is always freshly prepared and the menu selections offers something for everyone. Chef’s special are always my favorite. Mimi’s are always something look forward to. Service is very impressive too. Worth a visit and supporting this local business.
