Three of us called in for tea, We were shown to a wonderfully shaded table on the terrace. We all chose Earl Grey. The care and attention to detail was superb, attentive and charming service and delicious tea. I was pleasantly surprised that our teas together with some cakes and biscuits was a reasonable 7.50 pounds.

Superb breakfasts and dining menus and lovely lounges and gardens for early evening drinks. The outdoor pool was heated to about 28 degrees so taking a dip was always a pleasure and the loungers, sun shades and other facilities were first class.
We will certainly be back!

Outstanding hotel, lovely staff, gorgeous building, position & amenities. Heated outdoor pool, gin & whisky cocktail bar, afternoon tea salon, curry restaurant, brasserie, all highlights. Worth all 5 stars! 5 minutes to all the shops in the pedestrianised shopping area, another 5 minutes to the lovely harbour. Walk back up a slight hill, nothing too strenuous. Try The Catch restaurant on the harbour front, recently opened, booking essential, limited choice but all lovely, great Motown & Soul music in the background. Also The Slaughterhouse bar on the harbour - great little rooftop terrace, courtyard bar and huge space inside for lunch / drinks. The Occupation Museum is a £1 bus journey away on the number 91 bus, and after you've been, you can travel all the way round the island on the same 91 bus for £1 - takes around 90 minutes & allows you to pinpoint which of the lovely west coast bays you want to return to. We chose Vazon Bay, walking past Cobo, Saline & Soif bays before getting the bus back to St Peter Port - a good bracing day out by the sea with white sandy beaches, rock pools and surf cafes. The flowers all over Guernsey, and especially in St Peter Port were amazing and everyone was very welcoming and helpful to tourists.

We stayed here for just 2 nights to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had afternoon tea on the day of our arrival and it was the best either of us had ever had. The heated outdoor pool was such a pleasure to get into after a day of walking. All the staff were friendly and helpful but not in an oppressive manner. Our room was fairly small but we spent very little time in there anyway. Why stay anywhere else in St Peter Port, it is just 5 minutes from the seafront.

A wedding anniversary trip for a few days to get away from it all. We were staying in the Herm Suite which was just lovely - a great view of the port and islands. Staff at the hotel were perfect and so friendly. Food and bar was great. We were probably the youngest in the hotel in our forties (!) but that didn't matter at all. Hotel is in a great situation close to everything. Too many gins to choose from made for a hazy lazy stay. Recommended - we will be back!

My wife and myself have just completed a weeks holiday at the Old Government House Hotel & Spa. This is a nice hotel and the staff are brilliant. The brassiere restaurant though is overpriced although the food is good. Would recommend.

The Old Government House Hotel. 5 stars all round. Pleasant obliging staff all round. Very comfortable spacious room and bathroom. Shower cubicle a bit small. Some large people spotted at breakfast would have trouble in shower. Rooms and hotel tastefully decorated. Restaurant for dining 5 stars. Restaurant for breakfast 5+ stars. Wonderful variety of fresh fruits on buffet. Tried out the spa,sauna,steam room and chill room twice. 5 stars.
Nothing to fault here.
However one glitch we experienced. We were stuck in lift between floors for about 15 minutes. I forced open lift doors for fresh air. Staff quick to our assistance and apologetic.Later that night bottle of bubbly delivered to our room for inconvenience caused. Hey these things happen.
Highly recommended.

The combination of room, location and service made this one of the very best hotel stays that we have ever enjoyed. We had a Seaview King with balcony, which was superb: spacious with a balcony and a great view over the town and harbour. We had fantastic weather but an impressive touch was that the balcony was covered and had electric windows - so that it was pretty much an open balcony for the summer but protected in the cooler seasons.
The service is really second to none. It felt like a bygone era. It came through from start to finish and at every level.especially in the little touches, like refreshing the (free) water and tea facilities in the room every time we used them. We inadvertently left some souvenir glasses from the Herm beer festival that we had stumbled upon during our daytrip there behind in our room when we left. The hotel sent them on to our home, refusing our offer to pay postage. Where else do you see service like that these days?
The food was brilliant. The included breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice and a lovely airy restaurant to start the day. The fish in the brasserie was perfectly cooked. The lobster rolls in the Crown Club were also a great treat and well recommended.
Finally, the staff. Truly excellent. Very friendly, helpful and genuinely interested in being the best: nothing was too much trouble.
We will certainly return before too long!
