The staff gave impeccable service, always with a smile. The room was more than adequately furnished and the upgrade to a room with a view of the harbour( it was an anniversary) made our 3 day break an absolute pleasure. The breakfasts were very 'more ish'. We look forward to returning.

My fiancé surprised me for my 30th birthday with a four night stay in this stunning hotel. From the moment we entered the hotel all the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Always greeting us with a good morning or a good night...the food was exquisite in the curry room. I highly recommend it. Our room was simply divine, cleanliness was excellent fresh clean sheets, wash room was beautiful from the toiletries to the white fluffy robe and slippers. I cannot find any flaws at all. Breakfast was so lovely, staff always catering for everyone's dietary requirements . Made my fiancé and I feel like royalty. We got to have a spa day too that was a right treat for us both . Jacuzzi was Lush... Thank you old government hotel for making our stay very memorable .we will definitely be back.

Both of my stays at the OGH have been top of the line. The most recent one was last week, for three nights. Not only were the room and food excellent (had dinner one night at the Curry Room), but the staff went above and beyond.
Upon leaving the hotel, I arrived at the airport and realized that I had left my Kindle in my room. I called the front desk, who immediately sent someone up to the room to locate my Kindle. They then sent someone out all the way to the airport in the hotel car to personally deliver my Kindle back to me in advance of my flight. Their efforts won't be forgotten, and I look forward to staying at the OGH again the next time I'm in Guernsey.

I think this is one of the best hotels I have been to. It's position in St. Peter port is at the top of a hill so the views are breathtaking. They have an outdoor heated pool open from April until September. The building itself is Regency. The staff are very polite, extremely helpful but very professional at the same time. Nothing is too much trouble for them to make you feel at ease and welcome. The spa itself is excellent and many of the locals also support it so booking preferably in advance is recommended. This hotel is definitely one that I will go back to whenever I come to Guernsey.

A nice hotel with friendly staff. The décor is a little old now and probably due a makeover. Our room was a suite and a good size, clean and well equipped although no stocked minibar. Both bathrooms clean and well equipped. The afternoon teas was good quality with again, good service. Restaurant, menu was a little limited I thought and not a great wine list. My wife had several treatments in the Spa and was happy with all of them

We would strongly recommend this hotel.
Not only is the OGH a very pleasant and comfortable hotel but it is the exceedingly pleasant staff (in every department) that makes the hotel special.
The hotel has character and several nice public areas where one can relax and the pool area looked very inviting although it did not open until May.

we stayed for four days and I cannot recommend the hotel, the friendly staff and the delicious food highly enough. Thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable break and we would happily revisit any time! The food is amazing, really delicious, the staff there cannot do enough for you. It really was a lovely stay!

I have stayed in the OGH four or five times a year over the last five years and always enjoyed my stay. Understatedly stylish, very comfortable, with delightful friendly staff and good food this is an exceptional place to stay in St Peter Port.

We have just completed a 3 night stay in this beautiful hotel as part of a Premier Holiday 'package' through Hay Travel. (Formerly Bath Travel). This is an excellent vfm deal which comprises travel, hotel stay and two included dinners or lunches, one at OGH and one at the sister hotel Duke of Richmond. OGH lives up to its well-deserved 5 stars with sumptuous public rooms, amazing bedrooms, very fine food but, above all, attentive, friendly and interested staff. We cannot fault this hotel and will definitely return.

We stayed at the OGH to celebrate my wifes birthday, along with our anniversary of getting engaged, and a 6-month anniversary of getting married!
The hotel is certainly very grand, the outside is quite understated, but as you step through the doors you enter another world of "5-star specialness".
The hotel is quite labyrinth-like, with many small areas with distinctly different decor and atmospheres. We received a very comprehensive tour of the hotel on the way to our room, and I'm sure if we had stayed longer we'd have made full use of all the different rooms.
As the hotel was quiet (Guernsey doesn't really get in to tourist season until the end of March) and to help us celebrate the previously mentioned occasions, we were "double upgraded" from the basic double room, to a Seaview Kingsize room.
The room was massive, the bed the biggest we've ever seen, it was wider than it was long, and the view out over the harbour was amazing.
My wife was pre-booked in to the spa for some treatments, and she loved every one of them. The spa staff were very friendly and accomodating, and whilst I was waiting with her it seemed like a lot of people were coming and going, showing the spa to be a popular place with the locals.
We didn't eat in either of the restaurants, but we did make use of the included breakfast. The waiters were very attentive, and my when my half-canadian wife asked for pancakes with bacon, the very friendly waiter instinctively knew to ask "With maple syrup?".
We also made use of the afternoon tea service. It was certainly a very special highlight of our stay at the OGH. Very generously sized portions, excellent drinks, in an excellent surrounding.
The location of the hotel in the town is quite convenient to walk in to the shops and down to the harbour, though it is up a slight hill, so those with restricted mobility may struggle. I personally found it fine though, but I am a keen walker.
If you hire a car for your stay, note that there isn't any convenient parking at the hotel. However there is a valet service and so all you need to do is pull up outside the hotel, and a member of staff will park the car in their dedicated parking for you.
Overall, I can't recommend the OGH enough. I'd love to return during the summer, but the 5-star price tag may be prohibitive. It really is worth it though if you can afford it.
