Back at the OGH again after a break of 4 years, having first stayed 30 years ago with a babe in arms..who has also since returned!
Returned many times since...it is just a fabulous place to stay..staff are sensational-led by Andrew C as General Manager - always smiling and can never do enough for you. Facilities, food and location are fantastic and stress oozes out of you when you cross the threshold and are greeted like an old friend. A real home from home.
We will be back in September!

We loved our stay at OGH. The staff are very unique and friendly and make you feel very welcome. The room was amazing having the balcony with views over the harbour. It was a delight to watch the varying scenes unfold. It was a great mix of traditional formality and yet informal at the same time. I imagine a lot of the team had worked at the hotel for a long time.
The only gripe we had was the Kitchen
We ate in the brasserie in the first night and the meal really was quite unpleasant. The main course of turbot wasn’t very tasty and my partners fish and chips was very greasy we both came away from the meal with unsettled stomachs! We did wonder whether there was a chef issue. Hot breakfasts were very inconsistent varying from waiting 45 mins but tasting hot and fresh to being delivered very prematurely and luke warm like they had been sitting on a buffet in the kitchen. One eggs Benedict had weird hollandaise steeped in vinegar. I tried one again later in the week and t was ok! The breakfast buffet though was excellent as were the waiting staff.
I imagine it must be a tough time with staffing post covid and I was impressed the hotel is up and running again

Guernsey is a hidden gem, and the hotel location is fantastic, right in the heart of St Peter Port. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food is superb - one of the best places to dine in Guernsey. But what makes the hotel extra special are its people - too many to mention but a big thank you to Jack, George, Alessandro, Carl. Everyone who looked after us in the restaurant and bars and the housekeeping team are always smiling and caring for their customers. We’ve already booked our next trip, thank you.

We stayed at the OGH for 7 nights and had a great time.
Facilities are always clean and of the highest standard.
Jaro and Ula took great care of us with excellent recommendations on things to do in Guernsey and surrounding islands.
Reception staff including Concierge, thank you for your recommendations and for keeping our car safe.
Bar staff, thanks for your service. The complementary hot chocolate on return from a very wet day in Sark was a very thoughtful and kind gesture.
Restaurant staff were very attentive and eager to please. We have food allergies and we were very well looked after. The Brasserie, the curry room and breakfast are great and all cater for dietary requirements.
Roberto thank you for your positive attitude, great service and sense of humour.
Breakfast team, great service and delicious breakfast. Loved all the fruit, cold meats and generous breakfast menu.
Also, big thank you to house keeping for always keeping our room and bathroom so clean and for the turn down service. Housekeeping are often overlooked but without chambermaids keeping premises and rooms clean, there simply wouldn’t be a hotel.
Thank you all!
We can’t wait to return soon.

The service and experience is 5 star. We stayed in room 218 a Queen Deluxe which overlooks the port and swimming pool (see pictures).
The bed was a brilliant size and there was a desk to work at.
The attention to detail makes the stay comfortable and the staff were all friendly and happy to help with any request.
We lounged by the heated pool in the sun, had cocktails in the old St John Coward room.
The brasserie looked inviting with for afternoon tea.
I especially liked the parking service for my car; simply park in the loading bay and the hotel will park your car.

The past few years I have attempted my accounts myself with little success. Diane was highly recommended by a friend, since working with Diane my business is in great shape with a business model prepared for growth, this is thanks to great work and advice from Diane and her team! Thank you �

Incredible company with strong local supportive values.
Provided free advice to local small business during COVID outbreak.
I dealt with Zoe Lihou and was quite prepared to pay for help but Zoe gave me the necessary advice to submit all documentation.
Despite this support being free, she was happy to be called any time of the day, including evenings.
First class service - thank you 🙌🏼

In July 2021, Gerri S said about Firstcall
I was introduced to Marcel at Firstcall last year through a friend as I was thinking, but also unsure about leaving my current employment which I had been at for many years. Instead of being 'pushy' as some recruitment agencies can come across as, he asked why I was unhappy with in my current job and took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve. Marcel listened and we kept in contact for many months and waited until I was ready to make the big step. Because he knew exactly what my skills were and what I was looking for to progress in my career path, he set up interviews perfectly suited to me (and during lockdown). I was also given advice before the interviews and was updated regularly with feedback.
Unfortunately my first job did not work out. I contacted Marcel again and he prioritised me to find me something quickly and since he already knew my skills and what I wanted, he set up again many interviews/opportunities suited to me. Within a week I was offered a new job with excellent careers prospects. I am so happy and grateful for Firstcall for all their help and have already recommended to them to my friends who are in a similar situation as I was.
Thank you, Marcel and team!

Fantastic old world charm with great service from start to finish.
Friendly staff made sure we had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay.
Bit of a climb up the hill to the hotel from the harbour but worth it for the views and location!

Fantastic staff, definitely five-star
Hotel position really good too
Food and drink very good, and value for money too
The hotel's environment is lovely, but in need of a little investment in parts
The lounges and brasserie are very comfortable
Parking is a little precarious!. Best left to valet parking. That service is good too!
Overall, a fabulous island, and a hotel which does credit to it
