Great location in St Peter’s Port. Good pool and outdoor area. The best part was the outstanding staff. All of them were very accommodating and friendly. Christina was exceptional she remembered everything you asked for, constantly smiled and a delight to be around. World class service. The hotel does need some updating and that is being addressed, however the hotel is immaculate, great breakfast choices and a very relaxing place to take a break.

Fantastic staff!

It’s a lovely old hotel , just a bit constrained by its location. Our first room aircon was not working on the hottest night of the year. We were moved to another for the next three nights. The Classic rooms are ok but honestly, I have stayed in much nicer less expensive rooms on the island. You are paying for the location and the absolutely top dollar service from the hotel team. They are fantastic.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
