We stayed here in September 16 and had a really lovely time. We travelled with a small dog who was able to stay with us in the room along with being loaned a dog bed and bowl plus having treats and a toy left for her. The staff made us feel settled and we couldn't have asked for more. A beautiful sea view from our balcony along with a lovely welcome drink made our stay that extra special! For a hotel that focuses completely on the customer, whether they have children, dogs or are solo, this gem of a hotel, just a few steps from the main shopping area of St Peter Port is a must!

Beautifully converted into a comfortable elegant hotel. Lovely heated outdoor pool and a great spa- well equipped and spotless. Food was excellent , especially breakfast. Staff universally friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit

I feel quite mean heading up my review like this because truly this is one of the very best hotels I've ever stayed in so - to get the negative bit over with first - we reserved a 'classic double' room and it was simply tiny. Only one chair to sit on, a squeeze for us to get into bed on either side and barely room to move for two adults in there at the same time.We were told that the dimensions of the room are on the hotel website but how many people would check that ? I must say that the lovely 'front of house' person, Andi, arranged for us to have a complimentary upgrade to a very much bigger and nicer room but the hotel was very busy and she struggled to find us another room so an upgrade can't be relied upon. As we were staying for a week we were prepared to change hotels so it wasn't a great start to the holiday.
On the positive side -the hotel is spotlessly clean and beautifully, traditionally furnished. The food is excellent -especially the breakfasts and every member of staff we met was friendly and helpful. I do have to say a special thank you to Ken who ran the brasserie with a good natured efficiency which is rarely seen even in the best hotels. The 'OGH' as it's known locally isn't inexpensive but I would certainly stay again (but I would book a bigger room ).

We were very comfortable here: the food was reliably good, breakfasts were very good and the service throughout was excellent. We took our elderly well behaved dog with us and he was made welcome!
We had a junior suite and it was a large comfortable room but style-wise it was cluttered with furniture, rather like being in an old persons house and initially we could hardly move. We actually asked them to remove a double faced bookcase from the end of the bed, which helped create more space. The furniture in our room was a bit dated, with a well patterned carpet but I think some of the rooms may have been updated. The location of the room was quiet and faced the back over the hill and we didn't hear any traffic or our neighbours.
Tea outside on the terrace was a real treat, we didn't use the pool or the gym.
Location wise the hotel is close to main shopping street etc, which was useful as St Peter Port is very hilly.
The staff park your car for you, which was a wonderful bonus as the car park was tiny and my husband got somewhat hot and cross trying to park for himself on our arrival.

A superb hotel right in the heart of St Peter Port and everything you'd expect of a 5-star hotel. The quality of the accommodation and the service was all first class.
We had a standard room which was lovely although the bathroom was on the small side having to close the bathroom door before being able to sit on the toilet. Not a major issue at all, just an observation.
Loved the turndown service or more to the point, the wrapped brownie left on the pillow. Just a lovely touch.

A weekend wedding anniversary trip with friends. Beautiful room with great view. Staff were attentive and very helpful. Nothing too much trouble and that goes for the reception, concierge, restaurant, spa or room staff. It was across the board. The breakfasts were stunning and dinner exceptional. Lovely old world hotel with modern twists. Comfortable lounges and bar areas for a drink or afternoon tea or an after dinner coffee. Always a staff member on hand to offer assistance.
Very convenient for shops although a little climb on way back.
There is a car park and it is very near to the ferry port. Walking distance but as I said a shirt climb at the end.
There are disabled facilities and several lifts to get to all areas.
There is a great spa with lots of lovely treatments. A large gym and spa baths. No indoor pool though. Lovely one outside and a shame not available in Winter months. A temporary roof perhaps for all year use!
I rate this establishment as one of the nicest I have been to for sometime. We will be coming back.

Spent 4 nights in the OGH to celebrate my wifes birthday. Booked a king size bedroom with sea view and balcony (room 111). Room overlooked the harbour with a view towards Herm and Sark. Enjoyed our stay at the OGH and would like to come back here. With breakfast included in the price it set us up for the rest of the day. Staff at this hotel are wonderful and can't do enough for you. Highly recommended hotel.

My friend and I recently visited the Old Government Hotel and Spa for Afternoon Tea. We were extremely impressed by the attention to detail and service afforded to us. We were served in the Crown Club which has amazing décor and atmosphere. The food was second to none and definitely the best sandwiches ever (would certainly recommend the chicken mayo coated in almond slivers). The Bouchard Finlaysan wine complimented the food (Hannibal and Walker Bay was delicious) and we're looking forward to returning to the hotel just to sample the wines. We would like to give a special mention to Luis who was extremely professional and gave us a very friendly and knowledgeable service. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and topped off the day with specialist gins served by the very attentive Catalin in the bar. Signing up for the 'Gin Passport' was also a highlight and we cant wait to come back and collect the remaining stamps (although that might mean more than one trip as there are 35 of 37 still to sample). We are looking forward to booking the 'Wine Tasting' session next time we visit. Thank you so much to Gareth for making the arrangements and to his team for giving us such a special experience. Sandra and Diane.

Elizabeth and I stayed at the OGH last night and had a superb experience
On arrival the concierge accompanied me to their car park to show me where to leave my vehicle, we were then given a sparkling wine welcome drink and booked into the hotel
The bedroom was to a very high standard and simply luxurious
Nothing was too much trouble and staff very courteous
Restaurant and bar very good and food delicious
A very good stay and reasonable cost for the luxury provided
