We spent a couple of nights here because we had journeyed to a wedding on the beautiful island. The welcome we received could not have been bettered. All staff were discreet but friendly.We were accompanied by our boxer doggie and she was delighted to receive not only an extremely warm welcome from staff, but the chef went out of his way to create some doggie-friendly biscuits! Admirable choice for breakfast, (for us, that is)!
The only slight criticism was the lack of a decent car park, but that is understanable given the situation of the hotel. There is a beautiful park within 60 yards of the hotel.

I stay in hotels all round the world with my job and can honestly say that this is one of my favourites. It is part of the Red Carnation group which I had never heard of before but I was so interested in the history of it. Lovely story and beautiful hotels. It is in a great position , right in the centre of town and a stones throw from shops, bars, restaurants and the harbour. The tourist Information is in a lovely building just down to the seafront and along to the left. The hotel has a grand feel to it but not stuffy at all.

The OGH ( as we learned to call it ) is a lovely old building filled with traditional furnishings and lots of character. From the moment we walked into the reception with
it's chandeliers and vases of lilies and were met by the very friendly concierge Stewart I
knew we were going to love it. The concierge staff park your car for you. The reception staff were super nice and we were given a glass of bubbly whilst we were being checked in. Stewart then showed us to our rooms ( we had three ) and gave us lots of information regarding the hotel and Guernsey which was terrific as this was our first visit to the island.

We had breakfast in the light and bright Brasserie which was a conservatory and looked onto the garden. There was also the option to have breakfast in the lovely garden. The hotel is very quirky. There are various little rooms with bars and outside terraces and a fabulous banqueting room which has gorgeous chandeliers and a huge window looking out to sea. Traditional afternoon tea is served in another lovely lounge which also has books and boardgames. There is also a Spa.

Two of our rooms had balconies which had views out to see. All the rooms have traditional decor. There was a hand written welcome note and we also received a personal card thanking us for our visit to the hotel after we returned home. Very comfortable beds. Tea/coffee making facilities, hair dryer, iron/ironing board available on request. Lovely robes and slippers and monogrammed linen on the beds. L'Occitane toiletries in the bathroom. No fridge but I believe you can request one. The curtains are fab. Heavy and well lined so we had a great sleep. Turndown service .The one thing which I think would definitely be an improvement would be to remove the horizontal net curtain which blocks the great view. Seems such a shame.

The hotel has an outdoor, heated pool which is surrounded by geraniums. Nice sun loungers and big white fluffy towels. It is like a little oasis in the middle of town. In the evening the gardens are lit with fairy lights and you can sit out with your drinks. I will mention that the drinks are very expensive but as I previously said there are plenty of nice bars beside the hotel. One directly behind has a beer garden and I noticed a lot of the hotel residents in there.

Guernsey was so enjoyable. From the lovely restaurants, countryside, beautiful beaches to the very interesting "Things to do". The German Hospital, Little Chapel , Castles etc etc and flowers! Everywhere there seems to be beautiful hanging baskets and flowers. For my dad's 83rd birthday celebrations we went to Cobo Bay and had dinner watching the sunset over the beach. Just perfect. We also took the ferry over to Sark and went round this little island in a horse and cart. The hotel booked this for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. As an animal lover I was a bit apprehensive about the horses welfare but all of these horses are well looked after.

The staff at the OGH are all so lovely. Nelly at reception is like a little pocket rocket. So enthusiastic and friendly. All of the reception staff are great. All genuinely willing to help. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for anyone in this hotel.

I am sorry that I cannot remember everyones name but would like to mention the absolutely charming Alessandro in the restaurant. So professional and such a lovely man. Another lovely staff member Arsenio greeted us each morning and always remembered my 'hot' milk for my coffee. Jaro is another super chap. He gave us lots of information about restaurants and made various bookings for us. Francisco in concierge is a really nice chap too.

This hotel is pricey but we loved it. It's all the little details which make this hotel stand out and it's staff. The only one downside was the early check out. It is 11am and not the traditional 12 noon. If not for that this it would have been perfect.

If I ever return to Guernsey this is where I would want to stay , it's fab.

Just back from 3 wonderful nights at this hotel. From the time you walk through the door till the time you leave you are made to feel like the most important guests in the hotel. We were given a glass of wine when we arrived whilst waiting to check in and a special mention to Stuart and Jaro they are amazing members of staff. They gave us lots of information about the island and the tour of the hotel was brilliant with lots of stories on route. We stayed in room 315 which was lovely. The bedding was wonderful and the beds really comfortable. Plenty of choice at breakfast and service was excellent. We only had the one meal in the evening and that was outstanding; again the service was exceptional. Pay a visit to the gin bar. Sitting out on the veranda was great. Every member of the staff in the hotel was so friendly and helpful. Thanks for such an amazing visit.

My wife having recently been ill, we decided a short break would do her good. We chose this hotel "on spec" but what an inspired choice it proved to be. Everything about the hotel spoke of care for the guests. The ambiance of the place is outstanding - luxurious, but not over-stated, Rooms are comfortable, and the re-furbished ones, one of which we enjoyed, are excellent. The staff in all areas were great, both those front of house and those in the restaurant, where they went out of their way to please. We will return!!

Located quite near to the main High Street in St Peter Port, the OGH harks back to a bygone age of British and Colonial hotels. The building is beautiful,the Coward Room is furnished very nicely and suits the afternoon tea guests.

The staff are very personable and most are eager to assist (a few notables less eager,but they are in the minority). The Governors is a great fine dining option within the Hotel,excellent food and service, the Brasserie is a more "run of the mill" choice in the informal guest house style. The bar is linked to the restaurant and drinks can be taken by the pool.

The rooms vary,some are very impressive and the others can look quite tired,with sea views for some guests and views across a graveyard and access road for the less lucky. Internet in room,Pay TV and a limited selection of cable channels are provided.

Overall this is the best option on the island of Guernsey with adjoining Spa it attracts a mix of business guest,celebs and retired couples.Certainly not an 18-30 crowd! but a fine hotel keeping traditions alive.

Many thanks to all at the OGH who made our recent stay with them one to remember. We have just returned from a few days away with some friends to celebrate two birthdays and all of us agreed that, although the bedrooms were a little small, the staff were brilliant and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. What made the stay even more special was the delivery of cards and cakes on the appropriate days. Most unexpected but very thoughtful. The public rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious with a large selection available. We will definitely return to the OGH when we next visit to Guernsey.

We have just returned from spending Easter at the Old Government House Hotel and Spa.

Without exception, all the staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made us feel very special.

Our room, with a sea view was lovely.

The meals we had in the brasserie were delicious and the service excellent.

We finished off our stay by having afternoon tea in the lounge. This was a perfect ending to a wonderful stay and we hope very much to return soon

Just had a wonderful time in this hotel. We went there to celebrate my husbands bday. It was lovely. As a surprise we receive a bday cake...delicious btw. Staff provided an amazing service. Always smiling, friendly and professional. Fantastic place to stay. Well done!!!

We stayed for two nights and had a thoroughly wonderful stay. The service was impeccable and the food was excellent. As a vegetarian I was very well looked after and nothing was too much trouble. The staff booked us a trip to Sake which was a lovely a lovely day out. They even provided me with some carrots to feed the horses. I can not praise this hotel enough. I felt relaxed from the moment we arrived and can not wait to come back again. Thank you to all the staff for looking after us so well.

We flew over to Guernsey for lunch on Saturday and hired a private room. The hotel couldn't have been more accommodating even though they were hosting a large wedding that day. It is a magnificent place, very close to the centre of St Peter Port. The food was excellent, but the staff and service we received really shone through. They must have excellent management and must also invest in their staff as it definitely shows. Thank you to everybody for making our day so special.
