We had an amazing 4 night stay at this luxurious hotel. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here. It is sheer luxury and it is so tastefully and gracefully decorated. So much attention to detail to make your stay just sublime. The breakfast is just amazing with a wonderful selection made to your specifications. Unfortunately it was too cold to swim but the pool area is just fabulous. It is also in a great location with just a short walk into town and the port. Highly recommended.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights as part of our 30th wedding anniversary celebrations, our first visit to Guernsey. The hotel is conveniently placed just up from the shopping area in St. Peter Port, but approach by car is narrow and unloading a bit tricky. However, they parked the car for me as soon as we had the bags out which was helpful. Andi greeted us and told us we could have an upgrade for the first two nights, to ensure we wouldn't be disturbed by a wedding reception. She also worked some magic and on the third night we had a room with a balcony, upon which we sat and toasted our 30 years and the end of our holiday with a good sparkling wine from room service. Breakfasts were good, with a fair choice at the buffet and tasty cooked options. We ate once in the evening, the food was good but pricey, normally it would have impressed but we had just come from the top Jersey hotel which was sublime. Both rooms we had were clean, well presented and had the facilities expected. Overall, it was a great base from which to explore Guernsey and the staff were warm, welcoming and highly professional.

not the biggest of rooms but excellent bathroom/ shower. Very attentive service at meal times. Unfortunately didn't use the spa or pool. good excuse to go back! the hotel is in a great location as we could to town and sample the resturants around the harbour. We drove around the outside of the island and saw lovely beaches before catching the ferry back home.

Booked here for my wife's 50th birthday. Lovely hotel close to the main town. Room was well presented with a great view. We had our evening meals elsewhere but the breakfasts here were wonderful, as was a high tea we had in the grounds. Didn't get chance to use the pool although it did look inviting. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Looking for somewhere special to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary.
My wife and I were not disappointed because as soon as we entered up the stairs you could tell this was hotel worthy of the five star rating.
Receptionist was welcoming and friendly.
You could see how wonderful it was as we were shown to our room. Grand staircase with lovely pictures adorn the walls.
Our room equally did not disappoint. Everything that was needed was there. Plenty of space and great bathroom.
The view from the window overlooking St Peter Port and the sea with Castle Cornet was an added bonus.
Breakfast was of the highest standard.
One lovely touch was as my wife and I had almost finished our breakfast, the restaurant manager came over and congratulated us on our wedding anniversary and offered a glass of champagne.
Our pleasant surprise did not finish there as when we returned to our room the maid had been in and on the bed were red flower petals on towels rolled up into a heart shape.
I cannot praise this hotel and it's staff highly enough.
If you are looking for that somewhere special then this is a place along with St Peter Port to consider.

First visit to Guernsey. We stayed here as a family group of five, in 3 rooms, for a long weekend to celebrate my mother in law's 80th birthday. It was just perfect. We were able to organise flowers and chocolates for her room, and the staff surprised her with a cake too. She was absolutely delighted. The staff were all attentive, professional, friendly and helpful. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and felt quite luxurious. We used the restaurant for breakfast and dinner and the bar for cocktails. The food and service could not be faulted. We lazed around the swimming pool one afternoon which was so relaxing. The hotel is close to the town, easy walking distance, and is a short taxi journey to the airport. I would love to return.

We celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary at the OGH. On arrival, there was a bottle of Prosecco and a lovely signed card in our room, which was compact but delightfully furnished, with a great view across the swimming pool to the sea. The staff were wonderful - nothing was too much trouble - and the breakfasts were very good, with a range of different dishes, including fresh haddock. We had our anniversary meal in the curry restaurant, which is a quirky romantic candlit parlour furnished in red velvet.
The heated pool was great to relax by and swim in - even my husband, who hates cold water and won't usually swim out of doors, had a couple of refreshing dips.
We were offered a welcome drink in reception when we arrived, as our plane got in a bit early for check-in, then we were shown round by a pleasant young man called Stuart, who kindly printed out historical information about the hotel for us when he saw we were interested. In our room, towels were arranged in a heart shape and scattered with fresh flowers, which was a welcoming touch.
Every evening, a member of the housekeeping staff turned down the be quilt and brought a copy of the local daily paper and a sweet treat.
OGH is a wonderful hotel, and we will certainly return. Thoroughly recommended.

We spent a lovely few days being utterly spoilt in this hotel, which coincided with our wedding anniversary. The staff were without exception charming and very helpful and we could not have been looked after more thoughtfully. The hotel is very quiet, despite being just five minutes' walk from the town, seafront and shops.
We enjoyed excellent dining in the Brasserie and also in The Governor's where a delicious curry is served accompanied by specially selected wines to complement each course. My husband has spent many years in the Far East and he declared the curry to be 'brilliant' and destined to 'attract the connoisseur'! Breakfasts too were superb.
We did not use the Spa or Gym but were given a guided tour and they both looked very impressive. Nor did we sample the open air swimming pool although we sat on the terrace above with a drink on several occasions.
This hotel is full of interesting antiques belonging to the owners and I would suggest not suitable for small children. If you have limited mobility, request an accessible room. There are quite a few stairs in the hotel and not all rooms are served by the lift.
I cannot rate this hotel highly enough, mainly due to the very professional and helpful staff. Clearly the owners and the manager care very deeply about standards and ensuring that they are at the pinnacle of care and hospitality.
