We spent à wonderful time at OGH: people are nice, helpful and really wish that your journey is good. The room was cute, clean and confortable, the breakfast is simply fantastic as well as the fine cuisine restaurant "the governor". The hotel is located in an ideal position in centre town with a splendid view on st. Peter port harbour! You have a car? No problem: they take care of it.
Really all was almost perfect. We will keep a wonderful remenbering of our stay at OGH for out 1st wedding anniversary.
Thank you to all the team!

We have just returned from a wonderful anniversary break, this is not our first visit and as usual we were made to feel very special from the moment we entered the building. Lots of little extras were provided to make our stay extra special which we so appreciated.
The staff are first class and the food wonderful. We will certainly be returning next year.

I paid for my parents to stay at the OGH for my mother's birthday and they had a fantastic time.
Before the stay I was called on 2 occassions by the hotel to check all was ok and whether they could do anything to help organise the trip. This is truely 5 star service.
The room and bathroom was lovely, breakfast was delicious, and the staff in the hotel could not do enough.
It was a real bonus bumping into Boris Becker and having a chat with him.
Couldn't fault and easily the best hotel in Guernsey.

We returned to OGH the last weekend of May and felt like we were returning home. The genuine warmth from all the staff was very clear to see, from the initial pick up at Guernsey airport to the return to the airport.
We fulfilled a promise to ourselves to try the degustation & wine tasting menu at Governors Restaurant - we love our wines and were very impressed with the pairing of the wine selections to the delicious 7 course meal. Our other treat was afternoon tea in our room - honestly, there was so much food, afternoon tea easily doubles as dinner and I think is a really good value.
Breakfasts were fresh and plentiful, and with perfect sunny days, we ate outside in the Olive Grove - just beautiful.
Although our room was a little smaller than our last visit, it suited us just fine and was incredibly comfortable and included everything you needed including stunning decor, huge sash windows that opened & closed smoothly and lovely views over St. Peter Port and the lovely touch of 110v US outlets.
We explored the Island by bus and on foot, something that's so easy and provides a constantly changing scenery plus great people watching. It was nice not to have a car and the dreaded big H that just tells the locals to stay well clear of you!!
We had originally planned to stay on Jersey this visit, but our experience at OGH had been so good last year, we felt it worth staying on Guernsey again and were very pleased we did.

Had a long weekend there for the local Half Marathon. Staff service was the best I have experienced anywhere. Facilities were excellent, especially the Gym/Spa. Restaurant superb, even for vegetarians. Not a cheap break but fantastic value for money as a treat. Must do it again.

We returned to the OGH and were not disappointed. We really liked the refurbished rooms and the food and service were again first class.

Interesting property set in the middle of St Peter Port, Guernsey. Feels a little bit like being transported back to the 1950s, so don't expect a contemporary European hotel. Rooms were on the very small side (perhaps the suites are bigger) with equally small bathrooms. They are nicely appointed (the one I was in appeared to have been newly renovated) and was adequate for my one-night stayover - I think it would have been very cramped with the addition of another person or had the stay been any longer.
Service efficient and helpful - bartender particularly on his game - although the scale and decor of the common areas hinted more at a suburban golf club than anything else. My thought is that this is probably still your best bet if you are planning to stay in St Peter Port itself rather than one of the hotels further out of town.
Nothing particularly special but absolutely fine for its purpose - might have a more romantic vibe on weekends - tough to tell.

Thank you to my wonderful Fiancé and the staff at The OGH who made my 40th Birthday a truly memorable one. The staff (who kept the intended proposal a secret!!) made our stay so special. The food was amazing and our room was perfect. We both highly recommend a stay at this hotel.

We checked into OGH for four nights after staying one miserable night at an inn also on the island. We went from from extreme to another. OGH is five star and worthy of those stars. It was a pleasure to stay there, the staff are very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was of a nice size with tastfull decor and a view over the harbour. The rest of the hotel, lounge, bar ect is also very comfortable and again tastfully furnished and decorated. Staying at OGH made our holiday enjoyable and the red carnation group have several other hotels around the world and I'd certainly like to visit those too. If like us, nice accommodation is a big part of your holiday then OGH is for you too. My only complaint was having to leave.

I've stayed at this hotel many times over the years , mostly for business. It's always been a logical choice due to its convenient location in St Peter Port, but it was never trying to be more than middle of the road. This has changed under new owners the Red Carnation group. The OGH is now a fairly luxurious boutique hotel. Much internal refurbishment has gone on, and what is now very apparent is the excellence of the staff and the very personal way in which you get treated. Guernsey has long needed a first rate hotel , and the OGH has now significantly raised the bar.
