We had made a reservation for cocktails and chef’s bites at the OGH Crown Club. The Crown Club turned out to be closed, but the fantastic cocktails made in front of us at the bar with fresh raspberries and passion fruit more than compensated. Special thanks to Satish, who probably makes the best cocktails in Guernsey and whose friendliness made the whole occasion really enjoyable.

The welcome glass of bubbles, the virws and the sumptuous setting are all that you would expect from a 5 star hotel. The restaurants were relaxed and food stylish. Most memorable however is the genuine and professional staff, OGH you should be proud of the amazing team you have created, they do you credit. All wonderful but special thanks to Byron, Mercy and Dan.

A superb 4 night stay at the OGH Hotel. Everything was spot on and the hotel, service, staff, and food were truly 5*. Lovely welcoming greeting from Reception on arrival. and whilst completing check in, a welcome glass of fizz was brought to us.
The bedroom was lovely, comfortable and with a nice view. The included evening meal was excellent, the deluxe afternoon tea the next day was sumptuous. The lounges, restaurant and facilities were decorated and furnished to a high standard. But the true accolade must go to the people who make it a 5* experience - the staff. Very professional, excellently trained, friendly yet respectful, they made the stay very pleasant - all were fantastic but credit to Pamela who served us in the restaurant our first night and who supervised our afternoon tea. Alessandro was also very attentive in the restaurant too, but all of them were great.
Really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed here with my Mum on a travel zoo deal. Our stay included afternoon tea and an evening meal. The room was beautiful, spacious with twin single beds, en-suite with bath and shower and an additional dressing room. The breakfasts offer everything and more than you can imagine. The afternoon tea of course did not disappoint just don’t have the evening meal on the same day!
The service was so attentive even after checking out to provide tea while we waited for airport transport.
Most attractions don’t open until late March and the pool isn’t available until April. The little chapel is worth a visit along with shopping, the Occupation Museum and a boat trip to Herm or Sark.
You can just walk along the coast from St Peter’s Port or around the town or take a bus around the island at £10 for a day of unlimited hop on hop off travel. Then it’s 1.50 for any individual trip.
Don’t forget Cocos for your morning coffee or crab sandwich lunch and have a walk to the Cornet Castle.
We are going to go back next year. Love Guernsey and this hotel is a gem.

We loved our stay here !
There is a real Colonial feel to the hotel with fabulous attention to detail; the sheets and towels are super quality and monogrammed, the wall paper in the halls is padded. The hotel has a rich history and there are many pictures and documents detailing these.
Breakfast’s are divine in addition to the traditional items there are kippers, kedgeree and avocado all served under the watchful eye of Alessandro who takes service to the highest level.
The hotel is extremely comfortable and so lovely to return to, after a days sightseeing.
All of the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The manager Andrew seems to know every guest and was extremely helpful in making sure we saw the best of Guernsey.
Thanks to all..
We shall return!

If you only allow yourself one special treat in life, make that a visit to the magnificent OGH in Guernsey. Such luxurious splendour, it transports you back to a bygone age which only some of our most fortunate ancestors enjoyed. The truly splendid period décor is only exceeded by the warmth of all of the staff. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel truly welcomed. The management's motto is, you arrive as a guest, leave as a friend and return as family. This is so true of all of the staff, but I would wish to say a special thank you to Kris at reception, who delivered this message to perfection. Whilst on the subject of perfection, I would also wish to mention the exceptional quality of the food. Each meal was prepared brilliantly by the outstanding chefs. And one final tip, do try the afternoon cream tea and sandwiches, memories of this will remain with me for a very long time. Thank you to all at OGH for a truly memorable visit which will be impossible to better anywhere in the UK and beyond!

Elegant, comfortable, welcoming and, above all, amazing service.
I felt welcomed, valued and relaxed in this truly special hotel.
The breakfasts and afternoon tea are excellent and Alessandro’s management and attention to detail in the dining room are exceptional. Kris, the duty manager during my stay, was friendly, professional and efficient and his quiet charm and unflappable demeanour were appreciated. I can honestly say that every member of staff that I met was polite, friendly and trying to fulfil every request.
The WiFi is free and good and the valet parking really helps to make the OGH stand head and shoulders above any other hotel.
Although I was travelling with friends, I would return confidently as a solo traveller in the certainty that I would be taken good care of. I can’t wait to return.

Just spent a few days at the Old Government House Hotel with some friends. I have lived in many countries and stayed at top hotels in many others and I have to say I think the quality of the staff at this hotel is the best I have experienced anywhere. Courteous, friendly but not overly, polite and efficient. The hotel itself is charming, food is excellent as are the facilities, well locvated for a short stroll into town. Probably the best place to stay on Guernsey.

My husband and two of our dear friends have just enjoyed a four night stay at this hotel and we were all seriously impressed. The service from every single member of staff was exemplary. We could not have been made to feel more welcome. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. They could not have done more to ensure we had the most wonderful holiday. We all want to return. The Afternoon Tea was fantastic and the breakfast each morning was something we all looked forward to. We also used the spa……I had a hot stone massage, my husband an Homme Zest treatment and my friend a manicure and pedicure . We all loved it…..Barbara was fantastic (sorry but my husband cannot remember the name of his therapist but he said she was brilliant and didn’t stop talking about it all day!) Thank you to everyone at the hotel….even as we left a member of staff helped us put our luggage in the taxi. Also there was a lady whose friend had been taken ill and someone from the hotel was taking her to visit her friend in hospital. Wow for that….exceptional service.
