Very professional company. I was fortunate to be in a position where I could be patient and wait till the right job came along, as I was sure it would. Leanne was very supportive and gave really helpful advice. I would thoroughly recommend Firstcall Recruitment

Ok, let me say first that the service at the OGH is truly five star, they absolutely take care of you at every turn from check in to check out. In fact, if you’re used to looking after yourself as I am, it’s a little too much - if you tell me my room number, I’m perfectly happy to walk there without waiting for help! The food is also superb, the breakfast in particular. However, if you are staying in one of the “classic” (standard) rooms, well, I can honestly say I’ve had better, and certainly larger rooms in 3 and 4 star hotels. My room was tiny - barely room to squeeze around the bed. It was all spotlessly clean of course, and the bathroom was stylish, but I would expected squeezy soap and shampoo dispensers in a five star hotel.
However - in the room were the most gorgeous dressing gowns! I was considering “borrowing” one but I was travelling with hand luggage only, and one of those thick Terry towelling beauties would never have fitted in my bag. I would forgive much to be the proud owner of such a fine garment!

A lovely hotel ,with matching Staff. Roberto, " Rocky Marciano", Alexandross All led their young staff well .,even coping with 2 weddings . Free car park has a good Valet park scheme. Lovely. Heated pool . The Brassierie offers varied excellent food with a new fish dish each day . Slight climb from St Peter Port ,but well worth the effort , comfort ,character and friendly . In these challenging times a real " spirit lifter" Thanks !

My family ( husband and my 2 daughters , 11 and 21) and I have just returned from a wonderful 5 night stay. During our stay we felt that nothing was too much trouble - all of the staff were considered and professional and always happy to provide advice and support; be that arranging trips to Sark, through to queries about food and cocktails !
The hotel itself is elegantly decorated and the external areas are equally lovely ; with the outdoor pool limited to hotel guests and surrounded by careful planting that provides a discreet relaxing space .
Finally the breakfast was extensive in range and offer and absolutely delicious !
I do hope to return soon

OGH is a magnificent hotel with beautiful views overlooking the harbour and Herm in the distance. OGH has such interesting furniture, artwork and works of art.
The swimming pool and spa are such a bonus.
OGH has an extremely dedicated staff and nothing is too much to please visitors - our fourth visit and it is so good to see so many familiar faces.
The restaurant provides superb food, we have never been more than 100% satisfied.
Even after a horrendous period of close down due to the pandemic, the standards remain as high as they always have been.
Needless to add we look forward to returning to this absolute gem of a hotel. Thank you Andrew Chantrell and the team for again making us feel so welcome.

Back at the OGH again after a break of 4 years, having first stayed 30 years ago with a babe in arms..who has also since returned!
Returned many times since...it is just a fabulous place to stay..staff are sensational-led by Andrew C as General Manager - always smiling and can never do enough for you. Facilities, food and location are fantastic and stress oozes out of you when you cross the threshold and are greeted like an old friend. A real home from home.
We will be back in September!

We loved our stay at OGH. The staff are very unique and friendly and make you feel very welcome. The room was amazing having the balcony with views over the harbour. It was a delight to watch the varying scenes unfold. It was a great mix of traditional formality and yet informal at the same time. I imagine a lot of the team had worked at the hotel for a long time.
The only gripe we had was the Kitchen
We ate in the brasserie in the first night and the meal really was quite unpleasant. The main course of turbot wasn’t very tasty and my partners fish and chips was very greasy we both came away from the meal with unsettled stomachs! We did wonder whether there was a chef issue. Hot breakfasts were very inconsistent varying from waiting 45 mins but tasting hot and fresh to being delivered very prematurely and luke warm like they had been sitting on a buffet in the kitchen. One eggs Benedict had weird hollandaise steeped in vinegar. I tried one again later in the week and t was ok! The breakfast buffet though was excellent as were the waiting staff.
I imagine it must be a tough time with staffing post covid and I was impressed the hotel is up and running again

Guernsey is a hidden gem, and the hotel location is fantastic, right in the heart of St Peter Port. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food is superb - one of the best places to dine in Guernsey. But what makes the hotel extra special are its people - too many to mention but a big thank you to Jack, George, Alessandro, Carl. Everyone who looked after us in the restaurant and bars and the housekeeping team are always smiling and caring for their customers. We’ve already booked our next trip, thank you.

We stayed at the OGH for 7 nights and had a great time.
Facilities are always clean and of the highest standard.
Jaro and Ula took great care of us with excellent recommendations on things to do in Guernsey and surrounding islands.
Reception staff including Concierge, thank you for your recommendations and for keeping our car safe.
Bar staff, thanks for your service. The complementary hot chocolate on return from a very wet day in Sark was a very thoughtful and kind gesture.
Restaurant staff were very attentive and eager to please. We have food allergies and we were very well looked after. The Brasserie, the curry room and breakfast are great and all cater for dietary requirements.
Roberto thank you for your positive attitude, great service and sense of humour.
Breakfast team, great service and delicious breakfast. Loved all the fruit, cold meats and generous breakfast menu.
Also, big thank you to house keeping for always keeping our room and bathroom so clean and for the turn down service. Housekeeping are often overlooked but without chambermaids keeping premises and rooms clean, there simply wouldn’t be a hotel.
Thank you all!
We can’t wait to return soon.
