OGH is a real find. Staff are super professional and nothing is too much trouble with Guest Services Manager, Govind Prathap and Restaurant Manager Alessandro being absolutely on top of their game.
Quite the best Lobster Thermidor I have ever tasted.
Comfortable beds and well fitted bathrooms.
Return visit already in the diary.
Highly recommended.

This hotel is 5 stars and felt it. The service was impeccable but really friendly. Everyone was great but the chap on reception (Tom, I think) made us feel both at home and like nothing was too much trouble from minute one. He was great. We soon met Noks when we had curry. Again gave you the all the service you could ask for but was personalble. She would ask after each course if the food was enjoyable. Noks, your service with a smile was enjoyable. Malcolm in the bar was also brilliant. He really knows how to make a cocktail. We did the cocktail making course and that was great way to find out the basics so I can experiement. Again he was super friendly. The food was brilliant the curry was great, the afternoon tea was wonderful, the breakfast was lovely. Litterally no complaints, it was all enjoyable. The room has excellent air con, the pool was really relaxing and the kiddies pool.was great for lounging in. Honestly it was about as good a as gets. OGH is not a cheap place to stay. But feels costly rather than expensive. By that I mean it was worth the money. I would absolutely return.

Just returned from a lovely stay in Guernsey to celebrate our Golden Wedding. We stayed at the Old Government House or as all the islanders call it The OGH. It is a lovely high quality hotel, we wanted everything to be great for our special occasion and it was. Best of all were the staff who were all so helpful and friendly nothing was any trouble for them. We were given a glass of bubbly on arrival and a cake they made on our anniversary day. Memorable meal in the lovely restaurant made it a time to recall with much happiness. We can really recommend The OGH for anyone wanting a lovely relaxing break in such a beautiful setting, so thanks again to all the wonderful staff well done.

From the moment we first arrived, we were transported back to when hospitality at five star level was an art form.
All of the staff here are devoted to ensuring their guest's stay is both perfect and memorable.
The properties decor and ambience simply oozes luxury.
The decor throughout is simply extraordinary. Carpeting everywhere is deep and soft. Walls are not papered but covered in fabrics. Good taste and care is in evidence everywhere. There are magnificent oil paintings, excellent prints, interesting posters and amazing guilded mirrors.
Beds are perfect, bathrooms marble, the very finest monogrammed bedding, and thick and fluffy monogrammed towels.
Two fine restaurants, a spa, and an outside complete the package.
That and the location, five minutes walk from St Peter Port's central shopping area.

We had a one to one cocktail masterclass at the OGH. Malcolm, our host, was fantastic, knowledgeable and fun. Definitely one to recommend and we look forward to enjoying another of the experiences they offer at the hotel. Thank you very much.

Checked into our room which was very brown,patterned and small. Looked in the bathroom( horrid blue tiling) to find that it had had a leak and the ceiling was very stained. Asked to move. We were shown4 more rooms, first had a fire exit going straight psst the window, 2nd had a humming sound from the kitchen extractor, was told it goes off at 10pm- not for us, 3rd had a very low ceiling so claustraphobic, 4th we took as it was all getting pretty much of the same, brown. The staff are absolutely lovely all trained to look after you. Gorind was charming and helpful and all staff are a credit to the red carnation group. However if you want brown patterned rooms that have seen better days for a high price then come here. If not, there is better on the island. Also whilst I was there, they had a roof leaking, due to heavy rain,onto the marble stairs leading to the toilets from the bar. Very dangerous and staff had to close this area off after I had brought it to their attention. Sadly I won't be returning to this hotel, as I want accommodation that is better than this. They are on the island as I have stayed in them. Guernsey is a beautiful place with fabulous restaurants and this hotel is supposed to be the best on the island. It isnt

We visited as two couples on 16 to 20 November 2023 on a Travelzoo deal. We were warmly greeted by reception staff and shown around the hotel before being shown to our rooms. The hotel itself is classic in style, reminiscent of days gone by, which may not suit those with a contemporary preference, but we really liked the character and plush decor. The rooms themselves (203/204) gave an overall impression of luxury although they are small. The bathroom was extremely compact but had everything you would need, but there is only sufficient space for one person at a time! The bed was very comfortable and we were rarely disturbed by any noise. The housekeeping service was very good and there was a turn-down service each evening which included some small treats - a nice touch.
We ate in both the Brasserie and South African curry restaurants and enjoyed the meals in each. We particularly liked the traditional and classic and intimate ambience in the curry restaurant, which was reminiscent of an old gentleman's club!
The breakfasts were very good and provided everything you could reasonably want and I am sure they would have done their best to provide anything that was not on the menu.
We really enjoyed the afternoon tea which was served on beautiful bone china crockery.
What made our stay so enjoyable was the exceptional service. All the staff, without exception, were courteous, polite and accommodating and took an interest in the guests. There was great attention to detail in respect of everything, for example, crisp white linen napkins and changing cups when asking for more tea/coffee.
Whilst all the staff were excellent we were particularly impressed with Tandayi in the restaurant. She was attentive without being overbearing, was interested in what we were doing and nothing was ever too much trouble. All of these things made our stay that much more enjoyable.
We also ate at the sister hotel, The Duke of Richmond, which was also very enjoyable with similarly excellent service from Bobby, the restaurant manager.
