Well it’s not often I say it , especially if you have read any of my other reviews ,
This hotel is spot on , just returned from a 4 day stay , The food , the staff , the cleanliness of the hotel 1st class , the management run a very well organised machine , never had to wait for service anywhere , the staff were very polite and helpful, a special mention to Paul behind the bar , such a happy pleasant guy even when very busy .
A few points to make , it’s up a fairly steep hill from the port , don’t be fooled by a short 3 mile taxi ride it will set you back £20-25 from the airport.
Around the pool is lovely but quite small so abit of sunbed hogging goes on which is a shame .
Fantastic restaurants all over the Port , even use the hotel the evening meal was lovely too .

We contacted Nicki at very short notice to find a last minute holiday, with a tight budget and some specific requirements. We didn't think it would be possible but Nicki found the perfect place for us at the right price and made our last minute dream holiday a reality. We enjoyed a much needed family break in a beautiful setting with all the facilities we needed close by. Nicki took care of all the bookings which was a huge help after some stressful times, and having failed to find something suitable ourselves. Thank you Nicki you've been brilliant and we will certainly recommend you to others.

Our 1st visit to Guernsey was for our golden wedding anniversary. The OGH hotel made it superb with their excellent personal service, facilities and restaurants.
It is an old building so the 60 rooms are all very individual.
The Brassery Restaurant was very good - eat in the conservatory or out in the garden for breakfast or lunch. Evening tends to be inside with open windows. Good choices of food, all very good, superb service.
Lovely bar which does make good cocktails and friendly service inside or out. There is also a bar menu but we did not try that.
The Governor's Room Curry House was fine dining curry with a south african twist. Superb food, wine and service.
The concierge service is very helpful and managed to book us into the Victor Hugo tour (ensure you get an english tour and book well in advance) and the TukTuk tour which were all really good. We also took a ferry trip over to Herme.
The small swimming pool is set in lovely private gardens with sunbeds, towels and free flavoured water. Wonderful pool side service.
A few minutes walk to Candie gardens which are worth a visit. 10 minutes walk down the hill into St Peter Port sea front or shopping streets.
All in all, a superb hotel and visit. We will return.

We stayed for a fortnight and although it's expensive you really do get what you pay for. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel or its very competent team. Eating in the hotel was a real pleasure and apart from busy times the service was excellent.
Is there a downside- well it's an old building and sound insulation isn't great and there was one evening when a function could be heard in some of the bedrooms. That said we were advised in advance and the event was well managed and did not go on too late.
All in all - it's a real hotel and a pleasure to stay at.

A short business trip to Guernsey accompanied by the missus and a stay at OGH courtesy of my clients, thank you. Have passed it before but never stayed there and found it be completely top notch. Warm, courteous, under-stated and efficient welcome.
We were offered an executive queen room, well appointed with good view of the harbour. The missus rates hotels on bathrooms - and she was completely satisfied, so I was satisfied.
Very centrally located with just a few hundred yards or so down to the port. Unfortunately, we didn't eat there (more about where we went in another review), but the restaurant looked very good indeed and we had breakfast there the next day. Very polite and helpful staff. Nothing special at breakfast, but a decent cold buffet and a good range of hot dishes; porridge, salmon scrambled eggs,full English etc.
thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and will certainly return.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable 3 night stay. All staff were very efficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Huge thanks to everyone I spoke to. Absolutely loved everything about Guernsey and will 100% return to OGH next year. Keep those traditional old school values going!
