Stayed here for the 2nd time this year. This time for a week and once again with two young children- staff made everything we needed/wanted possible.
Anticipating our needs without having to ask! Faultless!
There is a five star feeling and service throughout the hotel from the decor, food, cleanliness and location.
- I would recommend this hotel to anyone as I feel each staff member plays their own unique part in making all guests stay a five star experience.

The Red Carnation group rarely disappoints and the Old Government House in Guernsey is a fine example of just how good they can be. You either like this style of traditional, graciously elegant hotel or you prefer something a bit more trendily modern. The choice is strictly subjective and if, like us, you prefer the traditional you are happy to have showers in baths, rather than separate stalls and single vanity units rather than doubles. The furniture in the public rooms could be more comfortable too but nowhere will you find more obliging and efficient staff for whom nothing is too much trouble and whose prime objective is apparently to ensure the comfort and happiness of their guests. This is in keeping with the Tollman service mantra and one of the reasons why the group has such a large faithful client base. The rooms are at the same time elegant, comfortable and functional. The food services are impeccable - ranging from a fully comprehensive breakfast to fine dining at dinner time. The wine list could offer more choice, and reflects the Tollmans' South African roots, to the detriment of European and, in particular, South American alternatives , but the wines on offer are all good quality and very reasonably priced. The service in the dining rooms and bars is faultless, as indeed it is everywhere in the hotel. All in all this is a hotel which richly deserves its five stars - and one to which we look forward to returning.

Hotel; cannot fault it-worth the money, lovely decor, clean and welcoming,fabric lined walls,nice heated swimming pool that was well attended to with fresh towels as needed,
Staff; could not do enough for you and were very friendly
Rooms:(220) beautiful room overlooking the harbour.with lovely bay windows for sitting in and looking out to see, biscuits tea etc were .replenished each day and a choice of sparkling and still water also Huge fluffy bath towels and great pillows,bed was very comfy.
Entertainment: the bar staff were great and we took over Harry’s, the Irish bar man was very tolerant of us and even found some music to play for us.
Food; breakfast was amazing with wide choice of hot and cold; the fresh raspberries with Greek yoghurt went down well. Ate in restaurant for evening meal first night and had lobster with linguini-fab !!were well looked after, we were a slightly rowdy table of 10 women celebrating a special birthday
The island-beautiful island lots to see and there is a bus that takes you all round the island if you wish.We went over to Herm for the day where we found fab beaches, Shell beach and Belvoir beach, crystal clear water; the island was tiny but peaceful and beautiful, one pub, one hotel and two public toilets. The crossing was about 30 mins.
Weather was forecast for rain but was really warm on the weekend we went so was perfect with a little drizzle of rain while we slept.
The overall experience; We had a very enjoyable weekend and were looked after very well,thankyou to all the staff and management for a a great time.

A warm welcome from the staff who are all so courteous and obliging. The room was beautifully furnished and the small things make a difference such as plenty of large, soft towels in the bathroom and a teapot and cups and saucers on the tea tray in the room. A wonderfully relaxing stay.

We had the pleasure of staying at OGH for three nights in late August. The total experience was wonderful, from the attentive staff, lovely room and delicious food. The attention to detail in all areas was most commendable. An exquisite boutique hotel. We shall return.

The OGH was my introduction to a 'Red Carnation Hotel'. It was interesting to learn of the history and ethos of this select group of hotels. The hotel is immaculately appointed in a unique, rather elaborate style. There is a total attention to detail and the service faultless.
We particularly enjoyed the exceptional food, the beautiful, warm swimming pool, and perfect gin and tonics.
The hotel is well situated close to the centre of town and with lovely sea views. It is quite pricey but for a special occasion worth every penny. I will certainly be searching out another Red Carnation Hotel; once I've saved up!

We stayed here for a short break over the first May Bank Holiday. It certainly deserves its 5 stars and from the moment our taxi pulled up outside we were given VIP treatment. The rooms were plush and we had a rooftop and sea view. The breakfast was plentiful and set us up for a day exploring the island. I enjoyed a hot shell massage in the spa.
We would thoroughly recommend OGH and would like to visit again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for a four night Autumn break, not cheap but good value for money. Service was superb; inconspicuous until the second you needed it. We had a harbour view room with balcony, extremely quiet and great views especially at sunrise and after sunset. Breakfast was always so memorable, cooked to order and the great variety of choice was delicious and certainly set you up for the day. Great pianist in the bar/ restaurant.

I visited this hotel with my elderly parents and we all agreed it was a hotel with standards.
All the staff were tidy in dress and extremely attentive to your every need. The decor was lovely and everywhere was very clean.
It has a great location in St Peter port, short walk to the harbour and shops.
Obviously all the luxury has to be paid for so it is pricey but well worth a visit.

What a superb hotel. Great staff and so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our first time on Guernsey but it will not be our last and we will definitely go back to the OGH. If ever we needed any help it guidance the staff at reception and concierge could resolve the issue. A great placed to visit whether in or out of season and a great base go explore Guernsey.
