Weekend spent at this lovely hotel, Great location, good facilities, spa (didn't use, wish I had), restaurants, outdoor pool (too cold to use), lounge and bar areas to relax or entertain. Part of a privately owned hotel group Red Carnation, newly discovered and will certainly try to use again. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Room 102 slightly small if you like space both in the room and your bed.

we stayed at the hotel for a weekend break. The hotel is nicely furnished but definitely not minimalist! Our room was rather small but had a view of the sea. The bathroom was also quite small but it had a shower as well as a bath, which was good. There was also lots of space to put wash bags etc in there and good quality shower gel/shampoo etc. The bed was very comfortable. We were surprised that we could hear the people in the next room talking. The breakfast was good with excellent fruit as well as a wide selection of cooked food. The breakfast room is lovely and light. The bar/lounge has lots of small areas which means you can have a drink without being next to lots of other people. I think the stars of the hotel are the staff. They are very attentive and spotted that I wasn't sure of the way to the staircase and took me to it - the hotel can seem a bit rambling. If a taxi doesn't arrive when booked they chase it up without being asked. We had to ring them and ask them to put something in a taxi which they did - definitely above and beyond.

My wife and I enjoyed a three day visit to the OGH. From arrival to deparure we found friendly efficient and welcoming staff. Jaro, the concierge from the Czech Republic was like a human Wikipedia, and very helpful in every way!
The restaurant and brasserie food was outstanding
Although our room was a little on the small side, it was very comfortable and quiet, and we appreciated having a shower cubicle
Everything at the OGH exudes quality and care

I can't recommend this hotel strongly enough. It may be more expensive than others in the area but in my humble opinion it is well worth the cost. Parking is not a problem as you simply hand your keys to reception who then sort out the parking. On arrival we were welcome and given a tour of the hotel. There is a maze of passages going up and down on the way to our room which was a king size balcony room with a great view over to herne and sark. The bed was really comfortable and the room very quiet. We also made use of both restaurants in the hotel and can confirm the food to be excellent. On our last day we had afternoon tea which was very comprehensive including sandwiches, cream scones and cakes with a choice of teas. Very good value too. It was great as all the staff know our names and appeared to enjoy giving great service. I can honestly say everything was well done and I could not fault them at all. An excellent stay and if we do visit Guernsey again we will be back.

Coming over on the ferry from England to Guernsey we read about this hotel and thought it would be a good place to have tea/lunch/dinner. We were passing and so decided to have tea. The welcome we received was warm, polite and friendly and we were shown the public areas for dinner/lunch/tea. Besides a formal dining room it has a very Raj Indian restaurant, an afternoon tea room and a conservatory. The views to the rear are over the port, so in the summer when you can dine in the garden you would get fabulous views. As we arrived at about 4pm we decided to have a pot of tea and a scone, as we did not want a full tea as we were just not that hungry. We sat in the conservatory and had a pot of Earl Grey and two scones, jam and cream, which came to just under £10. The service was excellent, efficient and courteous and the scones delicious, with real Guernsey cream. Every part of the hotel which we visited was a delight and the attention to detail was obvious. We are so glad we decided to explore this hotel. It comes highly recommended and a must to visit.

We had a 2 night break at the OGH. The staff were warm and friendly. They went out of their way to make our stay as special as possible. Ray the head waiter was a fountain of knowledge on the food and wine which were really delicious. The car hire on the Discovery Package was so easy,we just mentioned our name and the car was ready in minutes, a little Ford Ka which was perfect for the narrow roads. The room had a harbour view and a balcony. It was clean and beautifully appointed. We had a picnic lunch one day which was nicely packed, fresh and probably rather too much for the 2 of us. I had a massage in the Spa which was such a treat. The only slight down side was that many of the museums in Guernsey are closed in the winter months,opening at the end of March. The German Occupation Museum was open however and was very informative. The Guernsey people are lovely. Driving is very easy. Drivers are very courteous to each other. We will certainly be going back in the summer months.

Our second recent visit after a gap of 25 years, as always fantastic Hotel and staff, they couldn't do enough for us even surprising us with two birthday cakes and cards!! Spa facilities very good indeed, thoroughly enjoyed the "relaxing area". Breakfasts at Hotel were very high standard so bang went the diets for the duration of our stay! Looking forward to return visit.

We have just had 3 days break at the Old Government House (3 nights for 2) and have come home relaxed and fresh.
The Hotel and staff were second to none.
The rooms, food and people couldnt have been any better and made our stay one to remember.
In particular Harry and Dale (Managers) were always there to make sure everyone in the hotel were enjoying their stay.
Have already bought my mother in law a two day package for mothers day.
Once again cannot praise this hotel enough, well done to all at the OGH !!
