Just had a long weekend and apart from our room which was decorated very nice but a little small. ( had to move a chair each time to get around the bed) the staff are extremely pleasant especially in the restaurant. The food is excellent and suggest you book an afternoon tea. Highly recommended and I will be back, although... More

We booked the OGH for a wedding anniversary treat and it didn't disappoint in fact it excelled our expectations. The hotel has a special feel and is beautifully decorated. By far the best asset though are the staff. Ann on the reception was very helpful and let me choose from three king seaview rooms. We choose room 109 with stunning... More

Really great staff, an excellent restaurant (though we didn't try the Indian restaurant), wonderful breakfast, fabulous position. But I think our room was just a little small for a 5 star hotel. But all in all, go for it....

Stayed here over the weekend for a wedding. The staff could not be more helpful or polite, the room was very comfortable with everything we needed and the food was wonderful. the whole experience of the wedding reception was also fabulous. Thank you for a great weekend.

Apart from one unacceptable room (311) which our friends were put into, the hotel is beautiful. Exquisitely and tastefully furnished with excellent taste. However the staff handled the issue of the awful room very badly so that our overall impression was seriously downgraded.

Visited Guernsey for a day but was unexpectedly fogged in so stayed for one night at this historic and very luxurious hotel. Staff professional. Room and bathroom spacious and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was excellent. Unfortunately didn't have time to use the spa which was a shame. Can thoroughly recommend this hotel.

I have stayed here on more than one occasion & have found attention to detail lacking on more than one occasion. I think guests should be offered refreshment on arrival..many will have travelled some distance to get here. My request for champagne to be delivered to the room was not honoured despite it being ordered several days in advance and... More
