Some hotels are plush and well-appointed; some provide excellent customer service and some make you feel very much at home and relaxed. The OGH does all three, and does all three very well indeed.
We took a 5-day break to Guernsey and found the OGH to be an ideal base for Guernsey, St Peter Port and visits to the nearby island of Herm. What really made it great was that, without exception, any member of the hotel staff was very friendly and really wanted to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. All the staff can all be justifiably proud of the hotel and the experience they provide to their guests.
In all honesty, we'd have liked our queen room to be a little larger, but it had a really good bed and mattress, a well fitted bathroom with both bath and shower and the room was well serviced throughout our stay.
The restaurant provided an great choice for breakfast each day and, like the rest of the hotel, was run very efficiently and with just the right mix of professionalism and friendliness.
The outdoor pool was perfect for our visit, as we were fortunate to have a series of really warm sunny days.
All in all, we really loved this hotel and the way it operates and provides for it's guests; they paid a large part in making our stay in Guernsey a great experience. Thank you all.

Got here after a gruelling two hour delay at Stansted (where building hammering work, crowds of noisy families and not enough seating areas had us frazzellled). Then entered paradise! The hotel is luxurious, staff attentive and friendly (not one is snobby!), gorgeous room with balcony seating area, view of the sea, air conditioning and lots of lovely touches. Wonderful lounges, heated outdoor pool....classic furniture... It's hard to leave the hotel each day to get out and see beautiful Guernsey and surrounding Islands! But we do, knowing that a warm welcome awaits when we return.

Very nice and polite staff. My daughter is very happy to be there. It's usually hard to get her to come home because she loves to be at the nursery. She definitely learns a lot there.

Whilst looking for a part time position I contacted Firstcall. Leanne emailed me to arrange to go in and meet with her. Leanne was fantastic, she made me feel at ease straight away and was very helpful. I would definitely use Firstcall again if I was looking for another position.

We booked a 60 minute full body massage each and upgraded for £10 to use the spa totalling £180.
The massage was top notch. You are offered a deep tissue, Hawaiian or Swedish. I chose deep tissue and the technique of the masseuse was excellent. I Turku felt relaxed and my back felt great.
I was however disappointed by the condition of the spa. My shower drain was loose in the shower, the head of the shower coming off, the locker Wood was hanging off. It was clean and we were the first people in that day. The massage beds did elevate which was nice and the heated bed worked.
For a 5 star spa the attention to detail needs to be better. During the massage there was no warm blanket, just a white towel over the body so you got cold. So your under body was warm but you too and feet were freezing. The relax room had the pool pump next to it which was loud and the hot water came from a plastic kettle. St Pierre have a plumbed in instant hot water tap which is where a 5 star should be.
I also had to listen and watch the reception staff speak in their native tongue whilst eating their lunch. I’d suggest closing the door to allow for the opulent 5 star experience.
For anyone driving there is outside parking on a 1 hour limit but most likely these will be taken if you go midday. Guernsey parking in town is a challenge and 1 hour isn’t enough for a treatment.
This is a place to get an amazing massage, but an all day relaxing spa, it needs work and attention to detail to create the relaxing ambience you get from a 5 star spa.
