Just come back from a wonderful stay at OGH. We wanted a romantic break for our 10th wedding anniversary and OGH delivered! Sparkling wine on arrival, a glass of champagne with a hand written card at breakfast and our bed decorated with towels in a shape of a heart with rose petals scattered on them!
A big thank you goes to Andi on Reception, so helpful and smiley! And Daniel who made sure we were well looked after.
The swimming pool was heated and lovely and clean. The breakfast was fantastic, lots of fresh fruit and plenty of hot choices too.
We found our bedroom was a bit small and the bathroom, but the bed was very comfy and the room was quiet.
Well done OGH, your staff did a great job this weekend. We hope to come back one day. :)

We spent a week at the OGH in St Peter Port. We chose a King Room and were delighted with the accommodation. The room was spacious with two french windows which gave an abundance of fresh air, so often missing in modern hotels. The staff are very attentive and the bed linen and bath towels are changed at whatever frequency you desire. There is an excellent pool in the grounds with a variety of sum loungers some which are fixed with a bent knee position, excellent for sitting and reading without sliding down.
The Brasserie breakfast is excellent and on sunny days there are tables set up in the garden.
There is only a short walk down to the centre of the town but the hotel allows you to be "away from it all"

The rooms are superb, ours was a King with balcony, booked for a special occasion. Spacious and well appointed. The front of house staff and general management went out of their way to make our stay a memorable and enjoyable one.

We took our car over by ferry and due to a few diversions had slight difficulty in finding the entrance to the hotel. But once we arrived, the staff completely made us feel so welcome. Each and every time they parked and retrieved our car without hesitation which was very appreciated. The reception staff were very helpful and professional and the glass of prosecco was very pleasant on arrival. Our room was well designed though a bit on the small side, but the sunrise over the island was truly amazing from the bedroom window. The breakfast was first class and the service was top notch, and I would like to give a special mention to Kathryn, as she was so pleasant and friendly, a real asset to the team. We had one evening meal there which was fine though the choice we found a bit uninspiring but the service and surrounding more then made up for it. All in all a memorable 4 night break and would certainly return. I would class this hotel as 5 star as the hotel throughout is beautifully decorated and maintained and the staff are exceptional. We didn't use the spar as there wasn't time because there are so many beautiful beaches and places to visit. The boat trip to Herm was fantastic, as the captain went slightly off course for us to watch a pod of dolphins and the islands beaches were stunning. However we were so lucky with exceptionally good weather, wall to wall sunshine. The Old Government House and Guernsey and without a doubt both wonderful places to visit.

We were so impressed with the staff at this hotel. They were so friendly, helpful and polite. Breakfast was fantastic and the room was very comfortable.
One tip if you are arriving by car - simply park outside the front door and let the staff valet park your car in their very tight car park!

We took my son to OGH, along with my elderly in-laws, to celebrate his 11th birthday. The staff treated us like visiting royalty - along with appeltise 'champagne' in a proper flute for the young man and an excellent vintage for the grown-ups. The cakes and scones were divine and the selection of teas impeccable. Even the posturing seagull on the roof added to the joy of the afternoon! It was an experience that we will never forget. Thank you!

Three of us visited the Spa at OGH for the day. We were all in agreement that the treatments we received were the best we had experienced. I had a 60min full body massage and 50min facial, it was magical and I left the treatment room feeling fantastic. We then had use of the hotel facilities, we sat by the pool and had a cocktail and snacks. It's a beautiful place and the bill for the day was great value for the quality we received.

We stayed at the OGH to celebrate my Mother in Law's 80th birthday.
The rooms were spotless, in fact I can honestly say there is no room for improvement where cleanliness is concerned across the whole hotel, so full marks to the house keeping team.
Nothing was too much trouble for the Concierge team, helpful, polite and accommodating. They went to the harbour to buy tickets for the ferry to Sark on our behalf, carried bags, called cabs and gave us great advice.
Where the hotel excelled was with the waiting staff. We asked the hotel to help us with a birthday cake and balloon for my mother in law's 80th birthday and they really delivered. They made the most fantastic cake - which they customised. Delivered at Breakfast, as we'd requested, the staff led by Daniel surprised us all by singing 'Happy Birthday' much to the birthday girl's delight.
Daniel then proceeded to make us all feel special through out our stay, something we really appreciated.
Could there be any improvements? Yes, the reservation team could be clearer about which floors the lift services. Access is not easy for elderly people for all floors and I'd have preferred rooms with access from the lift, something I thought we'd booked.
As someone with limited mobility, hand rails you can get your whole hand around are safer and the hand rails for the swimming pool ladder/steps are not quite higher enough to make access easy.
That said. Would we stay again? In a heartbeat. Did we have a fabulous time? Yes we did. Did the service exceed our expectations? Absolutely.
We were nervous about being away with an 80 year and an 84 year old. But the service, little details such as the turn down service, treats on your pillows, cleanliness and most importantly the staff made this a holiday of a life time, and for that we're forever grateful X

Got there when it was snowing! Room excellent as was service, especially in dining room. Very close to main town area and to walk to Castle. Good wine selection. Best hotel in Guernsey. Valet parking useful if you have car. Hint: hire the smallest car you can. Roads are very narrow. Driving on the sidewalk allowed!
