After having stayed several times at the group's sister hotel, The Chesterfield in London, I had high hopes for the OGH - I was not disappointed. Very high service levels including a tour of the hotel on arrival and staff greeting me by name throughout my 3 night stay - all nice touches. Beautiful location above St Peter Port with extremely well kept gardens overlooking a very warm outdoor pool. Brasserie dining was a pleasure, I would agree with earlier TA comments about how good the Eggs Benedict breakfast dish is. My one criticism is in the guest bedrooms - I am all for antique furnishings, but in my room (105) some of the pieces were looking a little worn out - knocked white paint marks on the desk and the bed mirrors is dire need of re-silvering - hence 4 rather than 5 stars. A shame as the rest of the hotel was exceptionally well maintained and presented.

Stayed at this hotel for our 25th wedding anniversary and were greeted with a bottle of champagne and fruit in our room. Beautiful decoration and attentive service was second to none. Ate in the Brasserie one evening and it was wonderful. All in all nothing was too much trouble for the staff in all areas of the otel and would love to stay there again.

We travelled with three children aged between 11 and 15. We were given two rooms, both recently redecorated and very elegant. We also brought our dog, who was allowed to stay in our bedroom and was treated with great tolerance. The hotel is wonderfully quiet at night thanks to thick carpets and padded silk walls and has a lovely garden with a swimming pool. There were several families staying with young children, who also appeared to be well looked after. The food was very good, if fairly pricey. Everywhere in Peter Port is within easy walking distance. Like Guernsey generally, there is a slightly anachronistic feel to the place in a good way.

What a terrific place. First impression created by welcoming, helpful front desk - and high quality, attentive service was maintained over the course of our stay. We sampled - and were impressed by: afternoon tea (great if you can have it outside), breakfast, and the superb degustation menu, with wine, in the Governor's (excellent food, unique setting, really good value). Very good gym and spa facilities (treatments get a 4 out of 5 from the other half, who sampled two for her birthday). We dad to wait a while to be served drinks on occasion (the bar is a bit removed from the indoor lounge) and our bathroom would probably benefit from a little modernising - but this is nitpicking (it would be 5 out of 5's across the board otherwise). If we come back to Guernsey, this is where we will stay.

We had a great holiday. The hotel was very good with my toddler and older kids. Felt very at home and cared about. The decor is very clean and lovely old feel to it whilst still clean and fresh. The food, especially breakfast was delicious and the service was good too.
The Island just feels safe and this hotel is well located for visiting the small capital

Just returned from The Old Government House Hotel, Guernsey after having the most wonderful time. All the staff went out of their way to make us so welcome. The food was superb and all the little extras were catered for.
This is not our first visit and will certainly not be our last.

Family holiday, stayed here for a week in July, all I can really say is this is just a fantastic hotel. Beautiful building and gardens.The rooms were lovely but the ones we had were quiet small. Very nice outside pool, gym and spa area. All staff are friendly and approachable, the reception staff are very knowledgeable of the local area, and are willing to help with all requests. The food in all bars / restaurants is delicious with great service. This hotel is in a perfect location for St Peter Port town and seafront which are a few minutes walk away. Perfect holiday, no complaints and would certainly stay again in the future.

I was spoiled enough to stay at the OGH for five nights this January. I loved the classic style mixed with modern comfort. The cleanliness was superb, and I didn't find anything dirty during my entire stay.
The nightly turn-down meant I came back to my room after dinner to a ready bed with newspaper, TV remote and a baked treat sitting on top. Bottled water and tea were always restocked. My dry cleaning also made it back into my closet the next day.
The breakfast was delicious, and I wished I could have sampled more of the food at the Brasserie.
The staff were professional and friendly, and they were more than willing to help with any request.
I will request to be booked at the OGH on any future trips to Guernsey.
