What a terrific place. First impression created by welcoming, helpful front desk - and high quality, attentive service was maintained over the course of our stay. We sampled - and were impressed by: afternoon tea (great if you can have it outside), breakfast, and the superb degustation menu, with wine, in the Governor's (excellent food, unique setting, really good value). Very good gym and spa facilities (treatments get a 4 out of 5 from the other half, who sampled two for her birthday). We dad to wait a while to be served drinks on occasion (the bar is a bit removed from the indoor lounge) and our bathroom would probably benefit from a little modernising - but this is nitpicking (it would be 5 out of 5's across the board otherwise). If we come back to Guernsey, this is where we will stay.

We had a great holiday. The hotel was very good with my toddler and older kids. Felt very at home and cared about. The decor is very clean and lovely old feel to it whilst still clean and fresh. The food, especially breakfast was delicious and the service was good too.
The Island just feels safe and this hotel is well located for visiting the small capital

Just returned from The Old Government House Hotel, Guernsey after having the most wonderful time. All the staff went out of their way to make us so welcome. The food was superb and all the little extras were catered for.
This is not our first visit and will certainly not be our last.

Family holiday, stayed here for a week in July, all I can really say is this is just a fantastic hotel. Beautiful building and gardens.The rooms were lovely but the ones we had were quiet small. Very nice outside pool, gym and spa area. All staff are friendly and approachable, the reception staff are very knowledgeable of the local area, and are willing to help with all requests. The food in all bars / restaurants is delicious with great service. This hotel is in a perfect location for St Peter Port town and seafront which are a few minutes walk away. Perfect holiday, no complaints and would certainly stay again in the future.

I was spoiled enough to stay at the OGH for five nights this January. I loved the classic style mixed with modern comfort. The cleanliness was superb, and I didn't find anything dirty during my entire stay.
The nightly turn-down meant I came back to my room after dinner to a ready bed with newspaper, TV remote and a baked treat sitting on top. Bottled water and tea were always restocked. My dry cleaning also made it back into my closet the next day.
The breakfast was delicious, and I wished I could have sampled more of the food at the Brasserie.
The staff were professional and friendly, and they were more than willing to help with any request.
I will request to be booked at the OGH on any future trips to Guernsey.

Just returned from another very successful trip to OGH. We have been coming here since 1992. Not every year, but there has never been an instance where we were disappointed. That's itself says a great deal about the staff at OGH.
It could probably do with some updating at some point, but we would rather a hotel be little tired and have a great welcome and service.
From the moment you walk into reception, most times Harry the Guest Manager, being there to give you a warm welcome, to the receptionists who are cheerful and helpful.
The pool is like being in a warm bath, so even on cooler days it's great to be in there. We could not think of anything we did not enjoy there.
A special mention to Ken who manages the restaurants perfectly. He is so good at customer service. These things really matter, and sadly there are many hotels that do not have good management to train staff correctly. We so love Guernsey, and can't wait to return. Ŵe can even take our two dogs. They would not be banished to the rooms but can enjoy the hotel. Of course they would behave as well as children would!
On our return, we received a postcard from OGH, welcoming us back. Yes we will be back.

An exceptionally well-appointed hotel in the centre of St Peter Port, within comfortable walking distance of all the amenities offered by the town.
The facilities and service are very high quality. The room we occupied was very comfortable, light and airy and had a panoramic view of St Peter Port harbour.
The catering is excellent: afternoon tea in the garden is generous and well presented; a wide choice of dishes, all well prepared and presented, is available for evening dinner, and breakfast is very satisfying.
Stellar performance by all the staff who are very helpful and very knowledgeable.
The OGH (as this hotel has become known) is truly worthy of its five star rating - note this is the only hotel in Guernsey to have been awarded this accolade.
