The Old Government House is a real gem, combining traditional elegance, luxury and charm with beautiful views over St Peter Port. The location is perfect, and the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and relaxing.
What really sets it apart is the attentive, friendly service, which made me feel genuinely valued. A fabulous hotel with real character and a wonderful standard of hospitality. Highly recommended and somewhere I would love to return to!
Very friendly staff. Property was clean & felt safe as a female travelling alone.

From the moment my wife and I arrived at OGH and were greeted by Roberto and Kris who made us feel at home immediately. Nothing was too much trouble and our room was fantastic with views over the harbourside. I couldn't recommend The Old Government House enough.

Wonderful staff. Fab food. First room we were given was v v small my husband couldn’t bend down in the small shower. Had a word and were moved to larger room with larger shower the next day
An eclectic property with fine facilities, eclipsed by the friendliness, helpfulness and initiative shown by every member of the team. It is rare to find such a great hotel
Beautiful hotel in a lovely central spot. Staff were all very kind and helpful - there were a few small glitches but they were very quickly ironed out.
Excellent, old fashioned, luxury hotel. Extremely comfortable; first class service, superb breakfasts, well situated to enjoy the lovely town of St Peter Port. And reassuringly expensive.
The quality of service we received at this hotel was better than we've experienced for many years. I have nothing to criticise about The Old Government House. We had a wonderful stay.
The staff are exceptional at this hotel.
In general it’s a little tired but they look like they are making improvements on this.
Food and drinks are delicious and couldn’t fault anything.
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.
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.
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.
