I go to Guernsey three times a year, on business. The only benefit is being able to stay at this hotel. I cannot rate this hotel highly enough. Staff are great, with some remembering my name from previous visits. Certain rooms can be a bit small, but so very comfortable and clean.
If only all towns and cities on the mainland had a Red Carnation hotel! I also stay in a sister hotel in London, again very good.

Stayed for 4 days on a group business trip and was very lucky to be in this hotel. The location is amazing and the view exceptional. The staff were of an extremely high standard and were extremely attentive. The hotel was a little dated in regards to decor but immaculate.

Stayed recently here at the OGH as part of a birthday present for my wife. There is little to add that hasn't already been said in other reviews, as the OGH gets just about everything perfect, but I'll give it a go. Booking was straightforward, and reception checked a few days beforehand that everything was covered. We arrived prior to our room being available (c. midday) but were checked in, luggage left with concierge, and taken to the lounge area and provided with a cool glass of fizz. Much appreciated!
Our room (111) was extremely spacious and spotlessly clean, with a good view out across the harbour and to the sea. All the usual items were provided, as you'd expect in a 5* hotel, complimentary water, quality bathroom products, dressing gown, slippers (too small tho!) etc. but the overall feeling was of quality and attention to detail.
On our first evening, as we had decided not to dine out, we ate in the OGH' Curry Room. Service was faultless and the menu, although set, included some really good options, and the food itself was well spiced, perfectly presented and very tasty. Would recommend.
Breakfast is provided in the bright and airy dining room, and again, service from all staff was just as you would require, attentive but not intrusive. There were many options available from the menu, but the fruit, English breakfast, toast and juice we had was just right, and perfectly cooked. A really pleasant, leisurely and ideal start to the day.
OGH is located about five mins walk down a slope in to St Peter Port, which has some good shops, and some OK. We toured the island via bus (but be aware, service once you get off to view /visit etc) is only about one bus every 45 mins and some bus stops are just `Bus` written on the pavement. Can recommend Castle Cornet in the harbour area, not so the Underground Hospital, which could be so much more with some investment. There are some good pubs and restaurants in the town, particuarly recommend Le Nautique, booking essential. The town gets really busy on Saturday night, and there are the usual boisterous crowds revelling...
Overall, we couldn't recommend OGH more highly. They have got everything right, from the service provided, quality of food and drinks on offer, to the hotel itself, including the grounds, the room(s) and the spa (a new experience for me!). We would definitely recommend this to anyone to stay here. Its not cheap, but neither is it overly expensive either for what is provided, and also what should be expected at a hotel of this level and quality, which is exceeded on all levels. Well done to OGH staff, management and Red Carnation group, as you've really hit the mark here. Top quality. Great location. This is ideal for a perfect relaxing and somewhat indulgent Guernsey break. We'll be back.

We visited for a Sunday lunch and between 8 of us we had just about everything from a Club Sandwich to the Roast Beef. Very attentive staff, reasonable prices for the island's only 5 star hotel and an absolutely gorgeous setting. We'll be going back next time to stay for a weekend.

We stayed for 3 nights, the welcome was warm, our room was lovely, the spa facilities were good, food was fantastic, but the restaurant staff were not 5 star, we had no booking for our 1st night dinner, but this was quickly sorted, the staff member commented that guests do not want to sit in the restaurant booths, this was made very obvious as we were completely forgotten twice during our stay. To say we are disappointed is an understatement, if we stay again, I hope you have this issue sorted OGH.

My husband booked this hotel as a birthday surprise for myself. The building is just so beautiful and the decor was very stylish with a traditional theme. I just loved it! However what was even more special is how great all the staff in this hotel are. Actually I've never had this standard of service nowhere else in the world. It really made me feel special. They were so helpful and they all looked genuinely happy and proud of their job. We will definitely be back and it will hopefully be very soon.
