There is no better place to stay than here. Everything you could ask for from the best beds in the world to super service. How many hotels have you visited recently where they actually take your order for breakfast?
It will cost you a few quid more than other hotels in the area but you won't be disappointed.

This hotel certainly lives up to its 5 star category and is conveniently situated near the town. Excellent in every way from food/drink to all the hotel staff helping with your every need. Very attentive and helpful. Couldn't ask for more.

We enjoyed very minute of our stay. From the moment we walked in, Andiswa (Andi) the front of house manager made us feel so welcome. That feeling carried on for the whole of our visit - the staff were terrific and everything ran calmly and smoothly. We will definitely be coming back.

We spent a long weekend at OGH 9-12 June. We had a Double Room overlooking the front and main street. From the moment we arrived to our last moments we were expertly looked after. They are not just offering customer service they have a mission to create perfect moments and really want to make your stay the best it can possibly be. The restaurant and bar staff remember your name and quickly build rapport, offering suggestions and support even before you know you need it - toast crumb tickled my throat and a glass of juice swiftly passed to me to ease my coughing fit.
Room was large for a basic double, bed was comfortable all amenities covered including robes and slippers. I also was delighted to find L'occitane products in the bathroom. Wide selection on the tea tray. Fresh milk is available on request. Bathroom had shower over the bath and could do with an upgrade. All towels and bedlinen high quality. Even tho we overlooked the main street double Windows cut out all noise.
Restaurant provides a varied breakfast freshly cooked hot food to order. Evening meal was delightful and generous portions - honeycomb ice cream is superb. Piano man provides the right ambiance wonderful rendition of James Taylor songs. If you dont want a large meal the Crown Club provides a range of smaller plates and sandwiches - my husband said it was the best burger he has ever had.
Gardens and poolside a complete delight, well managed and tidy. The most comfortable sun beds and free sun cream available in different factors. Water freely available throughout.
Overall a relaxing break which became a real luxury treat, although you are paying a little bit more the care and service and overall quality of products and food is worth it.

Just returned from another visit. Everything was just as fab as before. Thank you to all the lovely staff, so friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back again. The hotel is beautiful. The food is amazing. If you go to Guernsey you must stay here. I can't praise it enough.

Have just returned from our holiday in Guernsey at the OGH. From the moment of arrival, this was like finding 'a little bit of Heaven'.
We were welcomed into beautiful surroundings with a glass of 'bubbly', our luggage immediately taken to our room. We were then given a short tour of the hotel and escorted to our room by a charming, courteous and helpful member of the 'front of house' staff.
The ambience of the Hotel is truly delightful; relaxing, gracious and comfortable. The staff without exception, were of the very best, helpful, considerate and kind. Kieron in particular was most helpful with our travel arrangements.
Every meal was a delight and we particularly loved the garden and the heated swimming pool.
Well done OGH, we loved every minute of our holiday and Guernsey is of course, delightful.

We have stayed at the OGH several times in the past but until last weekend hadn't been there for 15 years. We were delighted to find it was as good as it ever was. The OGH is an old style hotel with a modern touch. The setting is idyllic, the staff plentiful and standards are excellent. We would recommend it to anyone who wasn't looking for a 'formula' hotel.

At the top end of Guernsey hotels this has had some money spent over the years and I have been coming for nearly 20. Occasionally it feels a little bit tired but the main thing above all else is the staff. They are the most helpful, most pleasant group you would find in any hotel. Some have been there decades!!
Word of warning some rooms have terrible views and some the sound proofing can be a bit suspect. Try to go for a better option or see what other rooms are free

Just perfect, great location fantastic attention to detail in every respect and thoroughly enjoyed being pampered. Probably the best hotel I have ever stayed at.
Tiny examples of attention to detail - TV remote controlled was "sanitised" and a blue light in the bathroom so could find it in the dark.

We recently visited the old government house hotel for a birthday getaway. The staff were incredibly helpfull and were always on hand to provide exceptional service. They helped me pick out the perfect room for the nature of our trip and I couldn't fault it. I appreciate some rooms may not have such a good view as others but from the room that was recommended to me, from the balcony we could see the whole of St Peter port and neighbouring islands Herm and Sark.
The food at the hotel was superb. We had two breakfasts, lunch and a dinner at the brasserie during our stay. All excellent. The weather was beautiful so we enjoyed our lunch out in the immaculate garden.
The pool is lovely and warm and in a real sun trap. On a hot day you wouldn't want to hang around when it comes to bagging yourself a sunbed as they are quite limited.
My fiance used the spa and enjoyed back shoulder neck and head massages. I was impressed with the gym as it had everything you would expect from a good quality gym including a decent free weights area.
I can't speak highly enough about this hotel and I'd like to visit more in the Red Carnation Hotel Collection in the future.
