We have just returned from a week in Guernsey staying in the OGH. After clearing up a misunderstanding about the room we thought we had booked the hotel receptionist was most helpful in giving us a choice of larger rooms.
In general all the staff went out out of their way to be helpful and did very well in remembering our names for most most of the time. This created a most welcoming atmosphere. The only minor criticism was that the restaurant waiters did seem to get a little confused at times. Sometimes another waiter would ask us for our order when we had already done so with one of his colleagues. The restaurant service was generally very good and attentive although possibly at times a little too much!
The quality of the food was excellent, particularly breakfast. The brasserie menu catered for most tastes but at the end of our week we would have liked some alternatives even though there we some specials. We also ate in the smaller Governor's Room which had curry style dishes again very enjoyable.
We saw both standard and larger rooms. For a week's stay we think that a standard room would be too small. Our rooms were spotlessly clean a well serviced each day. The shower cubicles we saw were all a little on the small side.
The hotel is very well situated near to the center of St Peter Port and only a few minutes walk to the harbour, sea front and most of the local attractions.
We would have no hesitation in returning.

My wife and myself were treated to 5 days of sure bliss in this hotel, the cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding, I cannot explain the attitude of the staff as they were the best staff we have ever had at a hotel from receptionist to staff waiting in the restaurant, & maid, made it a delight to stay in this hotel, we had a room overlooking the port which was superb. We will be going back in the near future.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights for our fourth wedding annevesary, and it was just 5 days of the most relaxing and spoilt time of our lives. The hotel is absoloutely amazing, its just so hard to describe how beautiful this place is. We stayed in the Herm Suite and if you do have a chance to stay I recomend this suite the view is just incredible even when your in bed. The only thing that was better than the actuall hotel was the staff, they were quite simply the most caring and friendly hotel staff that we have ever had. Every detial was looked after by them nothing was ever overlooked, the restaurants are just fabulous. The head chef even came down and met us and made some special exceptions for my wife. Without a doubt in our minds we would definately stay there again just longer next time thats for sure.........

Old Government House was one of the very best hotels my wife and I have stayed at. We have seldom enjoyed a stay as much as we did there. The property is attractive and charming, as the name and history suggest -- full of cozy sitting rooms just right for afternoon tea and bright spaces for dinner or a drink. Decor is traditional but done with imagination, not stuffy in any way. Our room was comfortable and nicely furnished, with a spectacular view of the harbor; The restaurants -- both the main dining room (sensational local seafood) and the Curry Room (most sophisticated Indian cuisine we've had in a long time) -- were outstanding. The location right in St. Peter Port is convenient to shops, sights and the harbor. But it was the friendly and extraordinarily helpful staff that were most memorable. They were attentive to every detail, right down to wrapping an anniversary gift for me and stowing it away so my wife wouldn't find it, then delivering it with a bottle of bubbly and a vase of locally-grown freesia. Guernsey is delightful and the hospitality at the OGH makes it well worth a return.

An excellent hotel in a perfect location for the town. I should be delighted to return. A particular mention should be given to the excellent Indian food in the Curry Room. Very good public rooms. We enjoyed our lovely balcony overlooking the sea

We stayed for a week in mid June. Excellent old style service, not a thing out of place, staff only to pleased to assist. Very comfortable, good rooms, all facilities modern and very well kept. Big spacious lounge with a first class afternoon tea specialty. Restaurant tables well spaced out, never too crowded.Dinner Menu choice was from a fair variety of dishes to suit most tastes, supplemented by three or four specials each evening. Breakfasts typical of a first class hotel, catering for all international taste, not short of anything. Outside terrace to dine when weather permits.
The central location in St Peter Port made it easy to walk in and around the centre. The town is spotless and buildings very well maintained. We had a small hire car for the week, driving not a problem, car war parked by staff and delivered back to the main entrance on call.
The Hotel is highly recommended for anyone wanting a relaxing stay with faultless service and excellent international facilities .

Our stay at the ogh was brilliant. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the holiday to celebrate her 40th and our daughter (eva) absolutely loved her stay and all the goodies that came her way. The staff were very attentive and our daughter took a real shine to Ken who treated her very well indeed.
In terms of plus points and minus point .... All plus points and nothing negative to report : - )

OGH; splendid in every way except watch out for bedrooms 131-135: they don't have any view and almost no natural daylight which, for a hotel charging these rates is a bit much. The rooms in the pictures are obviously not these few!
