We stayed here for two nights in one of the rooms with a balcony, and sea views. The room was beautifully decorated, and we liked the extra touches, real orchids, and freshly cut flowers. The vast selection of tea and coffee etc.
We ate at the hotel restaurant the first evening, and the service, attention to detail, In fact the whole ambiance of the room was delightful. The food was delicious, do try their chicken liver pate, it's scrumptious. The steak was cooked to perfection, the crab salad and new potatoes were tasty and as fresh as you could get. We sadly couldn't fit a dessert in, but their Irish coffee is the biz!
We would have scored this hotel with 5 stars, but for the fact that it doesn't have an indoor pool, and the public areas are not big, so although, at this time of the year, it was ideal, I would not enjoy staying here so much in the high season.
Having said that, all the public rooms were beautifully furnished and intriguing.

We stayed for 3 nights, attentive staff, beautiful room with a beautiful view, room service and upkeep is second to none.
Situated close to the high street, St Peter Port and local attractions. Would highly recommend!
The staff went beyond the call of duty to ensure we had the perfect stay, and they succeeded :)

Stayed for four nights in a suite with a balcony. The suite we were in was comfy, spotlessly clean and well appointed, as was the rest of the hotel. The view from the balcony was spectacular and caught most of the harbour. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful and provided service that was second to none. We never actually ate in the hotel at night but the breakfast was delicious. Thank you OGH Hotel and all the staff that work there for making our stay so pleasant. We will be back sooner rather than later.

I had the pleasure of staying here for two nights.
Lots of old fashioned luxury, with a modern twist. So nice to have the room key ready and the free Wifi code waiting for me.
The eggs benedict for breakfast were fabulous, with proper waiter service and no buffet.

Very impressed with the welcome we received at this hotel. Service was excellent and the staff very friendly. Everywhere in the hotel was spotlessly clean which all added up to a most enjoyable weekend break for my wife and myself. Would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Almost gave this 3 blobs rather than 4 on account of the steep cost of this hotel. In reality, the staff are good and attentive and the bedroom although small was fairly opulent. Breakfast was excellent - great eggs benedict and the orange juice was freshly pressed and tasted great. So lots of good things. Just seems an extraordinary price - almost London rates - for the five star rating.

I recently stayed at the 'OGH' for 3 nights. Its a wonderful traditional hotel, with warm and welcoming staff, my room card was ready on check in and the free wi-fi works very well. The rooms are big and very comfortable, fanatastic bedding !!! Breakfast was wonderful, with a great choice, its not buffet service, which I really appreciated. I recommend afternoon tea, its seems to be a location tradition ! and its delicious.

Recently stayed at this hotel on business - extremely efficient, warm & friendly front desk staff, nothing was too much trouble and everything has been thought of and anticipated.
I have stayed here a few times on business and leisure and each time I have had a different room, all have been lovely. Try and get a sea view if you can, as the views over the port and over to the outlying islands is lovely especially first thing in the morning.Great bedding and the BEST pillows.
There's a great selection at breakfast and the food in the brasserie at lunch and dinner was yummy too.
It's great not to have to pay for wifi in a 5* hotel!

We stayed at the Old Goverment House over the Easter wend for our honeymoon, the hotel is faultless, they really couldn't do enough for us and really made our honeymoon extra special.
The food is to die for, I would go back for the eggs Benedict just alone!! Breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner were all outstanding prepare to put on a few pounds, though there is a very good gym, and heated outside pool to burn off some of the calories.
We found the pool extremely warm and the grounds are very well kept.
If you have time you must visit the spa, I experienced the best head and back massage I have ever had and I've had a few!!
The hotel really got into the Easter theme and there were bowls of eggs and chocolate dotted around the hotel, there was also a bag of chocolates on our pillow for our Saturday night turn down service and we was presented with a bag of Easter eggs for breakfast on Easter Sunday, which I found to be lovely touches.
I would thoroughly recommend the ogh for a romantic stay, I personally didn't think it would be suitable for young children but I was told younger guests do visit in the summer.
Not a cheap break but worth every penny, we will def return
