We stayed here for 5 nights and the hotel is excellent and the service definitely 5 star, nothing is too much trouble, you are really made to feel welcome. The location is good although nothing is far away in this small island. The only criticism I would have, is that the beds are too hard. In a hotel of this standard I would expect to sink into a lovely soft but firm bed and this only had the firm aspect.

We didn't stay here, we attended a wedding. What a fantastic wedding it was. The food was lovely, the staff professional but friendly, the views were breath taking. A fabulous venue and a brilliant day.

we stayed here in the herm suite for our wedding and had our reception here. Firstly all I can say is positive things about the OGH.
The staff are wonderful and ensured our stay was comfortable and harry is a real credit to the hotel. He really made our day so special as he constantly asked if there was anything he could do for us and was more than happy to show us what the hotel had to offer.
The food was perfect and all of our guests really enjoyed their meals, everything was made to perfection and the whole day ran ever so smoothly. The staff were so attentive throughout the meal and remembered our names which really made our day.
The suite is beautiful with superb views from the balcony and flower petals on the bed, we were greeted with champagne and chocolates and a courtesy call making sure we were comfortable. our stay really was made so special. Again harry asked if we wanted to be shown where the heath club was and personally took us round the hotel for photographs.
our guests and I were really impressed with how friendly and welcoming the staff are and this really shone through our stay!!! The OGH definitely lives up to its slogan.
we will be certainly coming back!!!!

We loved everything about The Old Government House Hotel: our beautiful room with a balcony and sea view, the lovely public spaces and gardens, tea in the garden, piano music in the evening. What makes the hotel a stand-out, though, is the service. It is perfect. Special kudos to the concierge staff, especially Jaro, for making OGH and Guernsey a place we hope to return to! Not only is no request too much trouble but you are made to feel as if helping you gives the staff real pleasure. It's clear that the staff loves Guernsey and wants their guests to love it too. OGH is part of the Red Carnation group. I will definitely seek out their other hotels in my travels based on our stay at OGH.

We stayed for my brothers wedding, fantastic service from start to finish, very helpful staff. Room was comfortable with lovely decor. Dinner and breakfast was very good. Also a great location if you are visiting the island as it's right in the centre of town.

Bea Tollman (the founder and president of Red Carnation Hotels) promotes "no request is too large, no detail too small" and her manager and staff maintain this throughout the hotel. The furniture and fittings are wonderfully tasteful, the service, rooms and food are outstanding. The facilities are fabulous and we look forward to booking room 107 which over looks the harbour next year. It was a fantastic experience staying at the OGH!

Our stay here began with a tour of the hotel, which I have never had at a hotel before, and this was very useful, as we were shown where the different rooms were and how to access them. Jaro's welcome immediately made us feel we were going to like this place. The room was comfortable, Jaro showed us how to get the internet on the TV screen and how to get the weather forecast. We liked the bathroom, the monogrammed towels, the L'Occitane toiletries, and the shower was great to operate. The one by the pool, sadly, was a wet room, with emphasis on the "wet", as the water didn't drain away quickly. The pool was lovely, with comfortable loungers all around, supplied with towels, and bar service. The restaurant was first class. Breakfasts were excellent, huge selection of fresh fruit, delicious variety of cooked meals too, and you could eat outside in warm weather. The evening meals in the restaurant were good too, but my advice to anyone eating there would be not to be put off by the rather bland descriptions of the food on the menu, the chef is an artiste, so choose whatever you fancy and it will be fantastic. All the staff were very attentive, and made you feel that nothing was too much trouble. The location of the hotel was good for the town centre and the port, St Peter Port is hilly, so you don't want to be too far from the main attractions. The staff book boat trips, etc. and give good advice to make your holiday just the way you want it. If you want a real five star experience, this is the hotel for you.

My husband and I spent one night at the OGH on the occasion of our daughter's wedding. The reception was held in the hotel Regency Room. I was most impressed with the efficiency of the staff, their helpful attitude and the overall attention to detail. The quality of food served to 120 people was exceptional and I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

My husband and I have recently returned from an excellent and memorable stay at the hotel..the attention to detail and to the overall attention we received from all the team was first class. We were celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary and the lovely touch of receiving a bottle of Sparkling wine in our room was much appreciated...I would recommend this hotel highly and would like to add a special thank you to Catalin,Oliver ,Stewart and Ken for making our stay all the more enjoyable.

Perfect hotel for relaxation. Situated in a quiet location but very close to the shops, cafés and restaurants in and around the St Peter Port harbour. We enjoyed an excellent champagne cream tea in the Brasserie on our arrival, and I was treated to a wonderful Swedish massage at the Spa. Rooms were spacious and very clean and comfortable. The full English breakfast lived up to our expectations. But best of all were all the friendly, helpful hotel staff. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.
