From the moment we arrived by ferry and met by Dale, we felt thoroughly spoilt and nothing was too much trouble. Loved The Curry Room, the breakfast was perfect, our champagne picnic on Herm was the best ever and cannot wait to repeat it. Surprise birthday cake was a lovely touch.
We loved our room. We just loved the whole three nights. The location was perfect.
We have never stayed in hotel where all the staff had such big smiles all the time. We cannot wait to go back again.
A huge thank you to all at The Old Government House Hotel for making every penny spent feel worth it.
Don't think about it, just book a stay now.

From start to finish we had the best service from friendly, efficient and caring staff, nothing a problem, excellent service, excellent quality of food and beverage, except for not having any of the two Tawny Ports on there drinks list.
The only minor issue we had was the first room (Number 132) was noisy, you can hear the constant noise from an extract fan. But on mentioning to the staff we were immediately offered an alternative room, slept like a baby :-) Just a suggestion, but secondary glazing is a quick remedy to the noise.
In summary, absolutely brilliant stay and looking forward to returning in the New Year.

Every aspect of this hotel is superb. We stayed in a classic room and even though the room was very small it did not detract from our stay.
Linens and towels are luxurious. Even the in room slippers were in a class of their own!!
The hotel is super quiet as all the walls of the hotel and bedrooms are covered in sound insulating fabric.
The staff were great and so attentive without being obtrusive. Breakfasts were superb served by delightful staff.
There are several cosy areas and I think my favourite was by the bar looking out on to the gardens and sea.
A lovely hotel with so much to commend it. Expensive yes but well worth it.
Definately a 5 star experience.

This hotel has commanding views over St Peter Port and over to Herm and Sark, but only some of the bedrooms share that view. It is an old building which has been well maintained and is tastefully furnished. It has a warm and welcoming feeling like good hotels should in the autumn. It is a rambling place with a rabbit-warren of stairs and corridors but its public rooms are spacious and impressive. There is a small gym with sauna and Jacuzzi but no swimming pool. The bedroom was large and well furnished and equipped, as was he bathroom, and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. We went out to dinner to a favourite restaurant but when we returned late there was a welcome in the bar and seats around the log fire as we enjoyed a nightcap. Breakfast was stunningly good as regards choice, quality and service. - this is the standard of breakfast that all hotels should aspire to!

Very central AND car parking. But very rambling to find rooms. Some double rooms not too big. We complained and were given a larger one. Breakfast very good. Stay there again-it is a yes or no. Not the ambience I expected.

The rooms are a bit small, everything else is top drawer luxury, service is very attentive and personal. It is old world England at its best.
Not ideal for children
Breakfast was always excellent as was the cream tea.

This was our first visit to Guernsey and we were visiting a close friend of ours who has just moved to the area. Knowing my obsession with five star hotels she recommended we stay at Old Government House - well this really was my kind of hotel in every way.
The hotel is very "old world" fabric covered walls, exceptionally comfortable lounges, bars, sitting rooms and restaurants. Open log burning fires in the reception areas (we visited in November) plenty of staff who were all extremely attentive and friendly. We were greeted at reception and our room allocated. We were escorted to our room by the bellboy who showed us around the hotel and our room.
I booked a sea view king bed room with balcony and was given room 111. The room was stacked with "comfort". Fabric covered walls, huge bed which was extremely comfortable and in this hotel they have got the pillows right (huge and very comfortable), premium quality signature linen and on the bed were two swans made out of towels. You may find this tacky but I love those little touches, to me it says that somebody cares what you think of the hotel's attention to detail. Flat screen TV which was small for the size of room and a limited number of channels but we don't spend time watching TV in hotels - just an observation. Tea and coffee (very good "real"coffee!) on a tray with lovely china cups, kettle and cafetiere with a note to order "real" milk if preferred. A huge comfortable sofa which turned into an extra bed too. There was a chest of drawers, desk and small table. The balcony was small but big enough for a round table and chairs. The bathroom had a large walk in shower, toilet, bathtub, single basin, heated towel rail and loads of large fluffy towells. Quality toiletries (Loccitane), the bathroom is small but everything is smart. The room has air conditioning but as we always love fresh air, we had the balcony doors open. We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the room.
The hotel has a lovely restaurant, breakfast is a cold buffet and hot à la carte everything is served fresh by excellent friendly staff. The bar has an open log fire as does the sitting rooms where they serve afternoon tea - Lovely!!
There is an outside small pool which was closed on this visit in the winter, a fully equipped gym and large communal spa area consisting of steam rooms, sauna and two hot tubs.
All the staff here are wonderful, they all wear a carnation behind their name badge (the name and logo of the hotel group) clearly everybody enjoys working here and are proud of the hotel and certainly add to the tranquil efficient comfortable welcoming atmosphere.
I thoroughly recommend this only 5 star hotel in Guernsey.

I have stayed at the OGH a number of times and it never disappoints. Room, service and quality of food. Excellent location for the court (which I needed to attend) and town. I want to come for pleasure.

Our second time in Guernsey this year, and yet again the OGH is proven to be a world-class hotel with the best local influences. It's run efficiently and professionally by Red Carnation, with a well-trained staff and everything you'd expect from a luxury boutique hotel. The two bars are the highlight: this is one of the places that Oliver Reed used to get sloshed, and where Guernsey's upper crust come in for a tipple after work. The restaurants are excellent too: good service is a rarity on Guernsey, so the hotel has wisely imported a few French waiters to set an example.

My wife and I booked The Magical Christmas package. The trouble was that on arrival it became clear that hardly anybody else had. However, Christmas day lunch was a joy and was well patronized, but for the rest of our 3 day stay we were almost on our own. The waiters did a splendid job and were very attentive. Considering the package on offer we were disappointed that the people of Guernsey had not seen fit to take more advantage of the superb accommodation which would have added a bit more festive ambience. Thanks to all the staff for their efforts.
