Thanks so much to the Old Government House hotel. Service was so wonderful: I was running the Guernsey Marathon and the room was fit for a Queen! When I When On arrival I got a personal call in my room from the Manager to ask if I had any special requests for the room or breakfast very polite and considerate. Another really lovely touch was a card from the hotel wishing me "Good Luck" in the marathon which I still have here at home ! Very sweet.
I could not believe it when I switched on the TV and it had my name personalised on the screen!! it had lots of movies available including latest releases and the sound and picture were like being at a movie in a big cinema.
The views form the Dining Room were exquisite and each room is full of beautiful regency style furniture. Truly a Royal experience ! There were beautiful quaint little dogs on the cushion covers too and lots of old fashioned sweets very gorgeous and newspapers to help yourself to in the breakfast room.
The breakfast room had everything on offer one could possibly imagine or desire a huge range from masses of cereals to pancakes and different eggs full English and anything one could wish for! There were piles of fresh fruit like blackberries and blueberries which I ate with cream at breakfast so healthy and yummy and what I most wanted.
Beautiful views of the coast from the bedrooms. Very central to St. Peter Port amenities but also a great view from the hill top.
I loved the artwork in the bedrooms, mine were Surrealist Dali style twinkly horses just perfect!!
The bubble bath and special gorgeous spa salts and I soaked in that for a long time.
What a wonderful hotel. Thankyou ! Staff always on hand and keen to help and show you to your room! Room service come round to arrange the room and bring papers in the evening. I felt like I was in an Agatha Christie novel or part of the Royal Family. This and one other hotel are my all time favourites.

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights in mid-summer. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, to the point that they had gone out and purchased a box of Maltesers at my request so they were on the bed when we arrived.

It's a nice hotel in a town with limited accommodation options. That may be why it is expensive. The staff are excellent though and work hard to ensure top quality service. Reception, porter and concierge were top drawer. They offer free valet parking & good advice about places to eat in town.
Hotel rooms are fine but they are small (& not cheap).
Also they have a nice bar & good views

The quality of service is amazing. Without exception every member of the hotel staff we met were friendly, courteous and above all eager to please. If you transplanted the staff to any other average hotel it would transform the experience to an enjoyable one.
The OGH is in a great location and just a two minute walk to the main shopping street.
Breakfast was good and the one meal we took in the Brasserie was excellent. All extras like teas, coffees and alcoholic drinks were surprisingly reasonable; £2.50 for a pot of tea.
It's a quirky building with multiple extensions over time which makes it more interesting than a modern box hotel. The furnishings are traditionally elegant and comfortable. Other reviews have mentioned that the hotel is a bit worn in places. We had one of the suites and the walls are covered in fabric which had dark patches caused by the air conditioning vents. It's hard not to notice this when you first walk in but the other qualities of the hotel and service soon make this superficial and irrelevant.
We found the bed a bit firm but housekeeping added a mattress topper and it was comfy thereafter.

Stayed for 3 nights, which included an anniversary, and went for upgrade to a suite which gave super views over the harbour from a massive balcony. The room was comfortable and good sized and staff most attentive, helpful and very polite.
Restaurant was top notch so that we ate in 2 nights and well enjoyed the fayre.

This was a return visit to the OGH and we'll definitely be back again.
The service is truly 5 star (Harry Seepaul is fantastic - every hotel should have one!). The weather may have been awful, but that's when you appreciate a good hotel with great food.

I and my colleague visited Guernsey again recently, in my case 36th years and my colleague 28 years of visiting Guernsey and stayed at the O.G.H as usual. As normal we made our hotel arrangements initially through General Manage,r Andrew Chantrell and asked for and received the rooms we had requested at a reduced cost - no doubt as we are 'old stagers'. From then the arrangements we made were perfectly adhered to and it was great to see some of the staff again who have been at the O.G.H. for many years including Harry Seepaul, Client Services Director and Ken, Restaurant Manager, to name a few. This speaks volumes in itself because the hotel & restaurant business has a well known regular turn over of staff, so obviously they must be contented in their lot. The service was as usual friendly, efficient and caring without being over fussy, from the kind and courteous lady Receptionists and beyond. We were well looked after and in a personal kind of way. God willing we will return next year at least once.

Hotel location in St Peter Port, staff and accommodation were excellent. The staff in particular all went the extra mile to help. When Condor ferries created a problem in returning home the staff looked after us and extended our room booking for the day. Food was high standard breakfast and evenings. The only negative was the Indian restaurant within the hotel which although the food was good the atmosphere was almost church or library like.
Spa and pool were well maintained and very well run.
