Just had a long weekend and apart from our room which was decorated very nice but a little small. ( had to move a chair each time to get around the bed) the staff are extremely pleasant especially in the restaurant. The food is excellent and suggest you book an afternoon tea. Highly recommended and I will be back, although a different room. I found the car parked and brought back for me to the main entrance when needed very convenient.

Stayed here for the bank holiday and a wedding. The room was very small and to use the tea facilities within the room we had to put the kettle on the floor by the plug.The room service was fantastic our room was made up each morning by the time we got back from breakfast but breakfast services was extremally and painfully slow and in the evening the beds were turned down and the room tidy, But this is a huge but there was no hot water in the shower we had to have baths and the morning we left we had to go without a shower as there was no time for a bath.
The afternoon tea was amazing could not fault it in anyway.
We were vry disappointed that it was not really equipt for disabled people.
Staff there were very polite but on times the service did faulter one minute their all there to help then all of a sudden no one was around.
The food at breakfast was not 5* standard the full english was covered in grease to the point you had puddles of grease on your plate the poached eggs were not fully cooked you still had see though whites and the eggs benedict was nice but lacked seasoning and ham was drying out around the edges it was more 3* very very disappointed.
I would not waste my money and stay here again.

Exceptional service from all the staff; beautifully furnished bedrooms and decorations generally. Good selection of food and shellfish. Well situated for walking in and around the town. Lovely garden and pool and a spa for an added touch of luxury! An excellent choice for a long weekend.

We stayed 5 nights at OGH. Extremely helpful staff at all levels of service. Room 327 spacious and clean with luxury bedding, chairs, sofa , tv with Sky sports, desk, free wi-Fi throughout the hotel, Internet room for getting those boarding passes printed. Food excellent, from breakfast to dinner. Car was parked by concierge and brought round when needed. Tickets for island hopping organised. Garden charming and we managed to sit out a few times as we were lucky with the weather. Didn't brave the pool but saw comfortable sun beds and towels etc placed out just in case!

Brilliant hotel - I went with my sister for a 40th birthday celebration and we loved every minute. This hotel gets it right on all fronts including luxury, service and location. Thoroughly recommend. Hotel is set with magnificent views down to the harbour.

I chose the OGH after reading many reviews here on Tripadvisor and overall the hotel did not disappoint. The location cannot be beaten for seeing the sights of Guernsey. Staff were lovely right from check in to check out, accomodation is of a good standard (wouldn't have minded a proper mirror in the bedroom though), requests were catered for, food and drink were of a high standard. My only slight gripe and why I have not given it five out of five is that there was building work on going during our stay. We could not hear it from any part of the hotel, except the braserrie during breakfast which is the last thing you want to hear first thing in the morning.

The Old Government House Hotel is full of old fashioned charm and excellent service. The rooms are lovely in period style furniture newly refurbished and immaculate. The bathrooms are wonderful with new fixtures including a separate shower and tub. The standard room is a bit small, but for a short stay is adequate. For anything longer, I recommend upgrading to a larger room. The Brasserie restaurant is light and cheerful, overlooking the gardens and sea in the distance. Our dinner there was delicious, and the breakfasts were delightful English style with all the trimmings. We had a wonderful stay here and would certainly return if we get back to Guernsey.

Booked hotel as part of a romantic break and decided to hire a car for the weekend instead of taxis from and to the hotel. Worked out much cheaper, not to mention the lack of taxis on the island make getting from a to b a bit hit and miss. The hotel was reasonably easy to find. Hint: park outside the hotel in the loading bay and concierge will happily take your car to their barriered car park.
We decided not to upgrade our room, settling for the 'classic' room. A little on the small side, but very comfortable and a good quality mattress. The staff throughout our stay were friendly and genuinely helpful, with none of the snobbery you often find in good quality hotels.
An excellent breakfast choice of cold meats, through to a full English. My fiancée had eggs benedict, and were truly exceptional.
Overall, an excellent choice whilst staying on this beautiful island. If staying for a longer period you might want to upgrade to a larger room though.
