Excellent stay in great location in St Peter Port
Pros:

Breakfast was really good, lots of choice and delicious. The staff in the hotel were all excellent, really friendly and professional. The room overlooked the sea/port and was a good size with a balcony. If there was a negative of any kind it was that the bathroom was a little small, having said that the shower was wonderful, but definitely didn't take two at the same time. The bedding was as requested and the room was very quiet and had good zircon. The outside pool was lovely.

Cons:

See above about size of bathroom.

Beauty, history, luxury
Pros:

A beautiful and historic hotel with A1 service one would expect from a 5 star hotel. We were well looked after from the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out. The staff are amazing and there is great attention to detail. We sadly did not have time to take advantage of all the facilities but what we experienced was top. The breakfast was amazing. We will definitely stay again.

Wonderful stay, amazing property fantastic staff
Pros:

A wonderful stay in a beautiful property made extra special by the staff. We had such a fabulous time at the OGH, from the welcome, thank you Ranganai, to the food, knowledgable staff, excellent tour of the wine cellar and insights into mixology from Jeffrey and Dave and just an amazing place, full of surprises, gorgeous art work and antiques. We have stayed in hotels all over the world and I can absolutely say the OGH is my favourite. I can't possibly name all of the staff who made our stay so fabulous but to name a few others, Mimi, Ryan, Alessandro the servers in the Curry room and most certainly all the back-room people, the rooms and public areas were immaculate retaining the air of tradition and country house grandeur, the food from breakfast through snacks and amazing dinners were out of this world. Thank you all so much, we will be back so that we can explore more of this fabulous island from a perfect base.

Absolute pleasure staying here
Pros:

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 .
