Exceptional staff.
The staff were exceptional - no request was too great and everything was done with a manner of being absolutely pleased to be of service to you. Particular mention should go to Roberto, the head concierge. We felt completely at home and our little dachshund was treated like a Princess by the staff. Just a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back again.

The accessible room is difficult to access and it’s a great challenge to out of the room. I couldn’t turn round the mobility scooter in the room. The room vibrated all day and evening. That was irritating and incredibly uncomfortable. The lifts were a very tight fit. Several times we had Issues with the lifts.

We thought the staff were amazing and nothing was to much trouble, the rooms were spacious and bed and pillows comfy, also kept clean and tidy daily with nightly treat of chocolates or biscuit on the turned down bed by housekeeping. Swimming pool was great too, which we used several times on our 4 night 5 day stay. We were a little disappointed with the menu on a Saturday night (10 August 2024) in The Brasserie as it was not an outstanding choice to choose from and not the best meal for a top restaurant we have experienced, also on the pricey side with a service charge added which was optional but we paid but on reflection felt this should not be applied for paying guests @ OGH Hotel but applicable to non residents visiting the same restaurant (The Brasserie) Overall an enjoyable experience.

What I liked most about this truly excellent hotel was the fact that the staff were excellent, and in addition looked happy and fulfilled in their work. This is the sign of first class management. High standards were maintained, but none of the staff appeared stressed, and someone always noticed if something was needed , and supplied it without fuss. Very well done to all concerned.

All the staff were very lovly, unfortunately i wouldn't rate this property as 5 star as its very warn and rough round the edges,. When we got to pur room 101 my husband ran a bath, the water was brown and had black bits floating around, we called house keeping and for the next 30 mins it was still not clear, so a guy on reception kindly moved us to a room where the water was clean. The food in the restaurant was excellent and staff very nice, wouldn't stay the night again, but would eat in the restaurant.

weekend stay
Having stayed at OGH on several occasions it was noticeable that the bedrooms are getting tired and in need of an upgrade, especially in view of the prices. We had brown water appearing from the hot water which was bad enough to stain a white flannel brown and the pull cords on the curtains no longer functioned. There was a large black chip in the bath enamel and the mastic around the bath needs repairing. However the staff, service and the lounge, dining room and bar areas were excellent.

Our stay at OGH was great,we felt totally pampered the whole time. All the staff were very attentive and polite but especially Kris Raggoo- the manager who was exceptional,nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were amazing,light lunches too- unfortunately however dinner was pricey and disappointing. That said- this hotel is excellent,we would definitely recommend it.

The Old Government Hotel in Guernsey
Your duty manger Govind is a jewel in the crown Advice for restaurant The eggs are awful. Try Burford Browns free range The curries are outstanding The chef disappointed us in the main restaurant He killed the scallops by trying too hard Mussels should not be added to such a sweet fish dish. Far too much salt indicates a chef who smokes and has lost tastebuds The seabass was overcooked and dry The vegetables were perfect and tasted as though they had been harvested that morning. The wedding over the weekend undermined our experience We lost access to the garden entirely and on the following morning, the breakfast room was ruined by loud conversations akin to a coach load of garrilous blackpool tourists who are socially badly behaved
