Although this place doesn't get the absolute top artists or shows they manage to put on a great and varied programme. The seats are comfy and it's q intimate so you always get a good view. The little studio is excellent too. Good bars and staff, easy local parking. Excellent local amateur productions. Can recommend!

The panto was amazing. It had me and my children (all over 12) in absolute stitches. We especially loved Widow Twanky and Wishee Washee.

Family and friends went to watch Aladdin this Sunday. What an enjoyable and professional performance it was. Funny and entertaining throughout ,in particular the Dame and Wishy Washy but the whole cast were really brilliant. Well worth the money.

Overall this was an excellent nights entertainment and to us demonstrated the true spirit of pantomime: a clever script,costumes, scenery, sound, special effects all of high standard and a cast who really seemed to be enjoying themselves.My husband particularly enjoyed the album title sequence which was very well scripted and must have taken a lot of research. All the main characters had a fair share of performance time and the supporting cast were showcased well. Well done!

I have attend this theatre for a number of years. Always enjoyed go to this theatre, it is stress free when it comes to where do I park my car because there is a council (I think) at the back of this theatre.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I visited the theatre last week, I saw Robin Windsor farewell tour which I thought was very good if you are a ballroom dance fan. Lots of laughter with tears. All the best Robin.

We stayed at the OGH for a week at the end of June and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a lovely sea-view room with balcony, and although our bathroom was a bit on the small side it was immaculate and we loved the l'occitaine toiletries, big soft towels, bathrobes and slippers. The staff at this hotel are second to none - we were greeted by name each morning, each and every one was polite and courteous and we felt very well looked after .
The Brasserie, where we had breakfast each morning, was lovely, and we actually dined there on four occasions during our stay - we usually prefer to try out the local restaurants when we go on holiday - but the food was so good we were happy to 'eat in' as it were. Our only observation (not a complaint!) was that sometimes we found the dining room a little quiet and thought maybe some tasteful background music would have helped.
We would recommend the OGH to anyone visiting Guernsey - it should have a 5th star!

Wow what a hotel you are treated like the queen all the time staff are extremely friendly and polite. the breakfast is fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. The room we had was luxurious and the service to the room was amazing. The gym and spa are tucked away down stairs but for me it was lovely to have the feeling that you were the only one that knew it was there what a treat. Luxury!!

Rooms – excellent – we had a wonderful spacious room the first night but a rubbish view, then a small room the rest of the stay, with an absolutely superb view of the harbour and the other islands, as the front rooms with the views are not all suites. This equalled it out and the price seemed fair enough with the 4 nights for 3 deal.
A rather strange excuse why our room wasn’t ready – “Oh sorry, we thought it was one person so we have to prepare it for two.” Prepare such a spacious room for two?
I was impressed that they warned us about the noisy music from a wedding reception below our room on the Saturday evening, and said it would end at 2300, which it did, on the dot.
Room IT system – the slowest and most user-unfriendly TV-centered internet and music system we’ve ever seen – I hope the hotel didn’t pay too much for whoever conned them into buying it.
Spa and treatments – brilliant. Worth staying here just for that.
Brasserie restaurant – excellent. Governor’s Restaurant – 7-course menu very good, but they tried to overcharge us by over £100 (inc the service charge on the overcharge). As soon as the waiter saw us scrutinising the bill, which seemed a bit high, he whipped it away with an “Oh sorry, I’ve made a mistake.” They had charged us for 2 bottles of dessert wine at c.£50 each instead of 2 glasses at c.£5. Who ever has a bottle of dessert wine each? Seems a rather careless mistake to make, and I would have expected a more embarrassed and fulsome apology!
Staff – excellent, except a last minute glitch – the reception staff sent us on a wild goose chase costing £10 by taxi when we urgently needed a pharmacy on a Sunday when the shops are closed. The reception staff did their best, but they just didn’t have the knowledge. In the end I had to get hold of a Sunday paper and see which pharmacies were on duty on Sunday and which time they were open, which the staff could have done in the first place (and so could I, if I’d known the staff were so unknowledgeable).
