My husband and I spent the week of our 12 wedding anniversary at the OGH St Peter Port, and we were delighted with the hotel location. It was all lovely from beginning to end. Faultless. We had such a wonderful time on our first ever trip to Guernsey, Herm and Sark, and what made it so nice was having our homely base in St Peter Port at this wonderful hotel. The staff are all so very kind and helpful and friendly. I want to name names but there were so many good staff that I am concerned I will forget someone. Thank you all OGH - I hope you get to read this. We came for a week from Norwich Airport and will never forget you all. We hope to come again one day. Your hotel is so nicely furnished and I loved the art work on the walls. The building is really grand - yet cosy - and characterful. Thank you Kitchen Staff - all of you for the delicious and well presented food. But above all, thank you for making us feel so welcome every single moment we were there. I had never heard of Red Carnation Group but will certainly now be looking them up for another visit. We loved your beautiful island and we are so glad to have met you all. A and D. Xx

This hotel, quite rightly, has an excellent reputation. From the moment we arrived our stay was faultless and nothing was too much trouble, with guests made to feel at home from the moment they walk through the door.
We just had a basic room which, although quite small, was beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable with everything you would expect from a 5* hotel. We particularly liked the 'proper' teapot and 'proper' French press. Bathrobes and slippers provided. Bathroon was well-stocked. Everything was exceptionally clean.
Excellent facilites at the hotel - it was nice after a day out to just sit by the pool/go for a swim.
Breakfast was excellent - plenty of choice with a continental buffet and then ordering hot food individually. service immaculate. The hotel has several restaurants and also offers a traditional 'afternoon tea'.

This is one of the best hotels we have ever visited. We spent a night here 30 years ago on business and always said we would return for leisure one day.
It came up to all expectations, courteous and attentive staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts could be taken in the garden and offered an extensive breakfast menu. The pool was heated to a comfortable 28c, and Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were available free for residents and well appointed.
The hotel is situated conveniently close to the harbour with restaurents and shops nearby.
A perfect stay.

As we would expect of a red carnation hotel we were given a warm welcome and our room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is beautiful and standards are high although some investment is needed to keep the outside areas 5 star. The food is excellent and it was a pleasure to enjoy the breakfast buffet after they have been missing from English hotels for nearly 2 years. Although drink prices are high the food prices are very reasonable for such excellent quality. We enjoyed the pool as the weather was warm although the sun beds are not comfortable enough for a 5 start hotel. Service was a bit hit and miss because of staff shortages and many looked tired and stressed but as ever they smiled and tried to ensure we were well looked after. We would be happy to return and loved Guernsey for its beautiful walks. A thank you to all the staff who stayed cheerful and helped to make our stay so enjoyable.

Firstcall was the first recruitment agency I've worked with that went out of their way to provide me the best possible service and the greatest odds at being chosen for a job. They held my hand all the way through, making sure I'm prepared for interviews and giving me much needed feedback and advice when I had any doubts. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a more personalized approach to looking for jobs - not only are they incredibly professional in the work that they do, they also care about learning more about you, so they can make your CV not only reflect you and your values perfectly, but also make it as appealing to employees as possible.

We have stayed at this hotel previously and were glad this time of a five-night break in lovely autumn sunshine. It is an elegant building, well maintained and very comfortable. The walls in the public rooms are adorned with a huge array of fine artwork. The gym/spa was good, although the facility closed early at weekends, and there is a heated outdoor pool with loungers and plenty of fresh towels on the paved area around the pool. Our room was 'bijou' but very well equipped and with a fabulously-comfortable six-foot bed. Dining was very good - we ate dinner in the hotel twice and enjoyed amazing breakfasts each morning with everything cooked to order. We were able to take breakfast outside on the terrace on some occasions. Service was clearly under some pressure because of Covid and staff vacancies, but it did not in any way become an issue for us and we were looked after very well. The head waiter, Allesandro, deserves a special mention for his professionalism. There is a cosy bar which was great for nightcaps. We did find it strange, however, that a 'Hooray Henry' guest who was aware that drinks were, quite rightly, not served in glass around the pool persuaded staff to serve him and his partner poolside drinks in glasses, and then later boasted about his ability to get round the rules. That rule is there for a very good reason and should not be breached.

We absolutely loved our weekend in St Peter Port, and the OGH was perfect! From the moment we walked through the door, we were made to feel extremely welcome. The building is beautiful and the staff are amazing. So many whose names I can’t recall but who were wonderful and made our stay so special (although Alessandro was particularly fantastic, and Roberto & Renato). Room was small but beautifully decorated with wonderful fittings and details - the most comfortable bed with gorgeous linen; it was a real treat to stay here. The restaurant was lovely & we had two fabulous evening meals with god wine and excellent service; breakfasts wonderful, sat outside on the terrace with a view out over the sea. Perfect location, just a 5 minute stroll down to the old town centre and the port area. First class luxury. We’ll be back next year for another break!

In September 2021, Pubcat said about Doghouse, The
I came here for the live music and had booked a table for dinner. The menu was more interesting than most of Guernsey's pubs. The meals were excellent. Staff rushed from serving behind the bar to waiting tables, but were on top of everything. They were friendly and helpful and the service was great. Sky football highlights were on, but muted. A range of recorded music played at a moderate level: mostly rock, plus a lot of 50s rock & roll. Just before ten the band came on. They weren't the UK Oasis tribute as billed, but they were entertaining enough. For a Saturday night live music experience with a decent meal, it was great. The pub/restaurant would be good to visit on any day. I'd go again on my next visit to Guernsey for sure.
