Old Government House Hotel

We had an exceptionally perfect stay at this beautiful hotel. The staff greated us like old friends by Chris. We were given sparkling wine on arrival (thank you Stewart) and upgraded to an opulent room facing the sea (room 138). Stewart gave us loads of tips for Guernsey as it was our first visit. Breakfast was served in a grand room with a lovely view also. My eggs Florentine may have been the best I've ever had. I can recommend the kedgeree too. We booked a massage and afternoon tea for my birthday too. Everything was exceptional and we were delighted with some complimentary champagne as we were celebrating my birthday!!! Each evening as they performed their turndown service, they left us a tasty treat e.g brownies and flapjacks. We bumped into Chris in town off duty and he was just as friendly and welcoming to us. If you stay at this hotel you won't be disappointed. It's absolutely beautiful. Like going back in time. Yet it has all the modern amenities. It's very central to the quaint town, bars and restaurants. I'm sorry not to have remembered other staff names in the breakfast room and lounge but everyone was great. Whatever this hotel is doing to keep it's staff this happy. Please keep doing it Thank you, thank you, thank you for an incredible experience and stay. We hope to see you all again soon!

An outstanding hotel stay. The staff were incredibly helpful, the service was the best we’ve ever experienced anywhere! Our Queen double room was very comfortable, everything you’d expect at a high quality hotel. The food in the restaurant was outstanding, favourites were the hot and cold seafood platter and fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection. We also had afternoon tea which we thoroughly enjoyed. The wine list is extensive but it is expensive. The hotel is a five minute walk from the centre of St Peter Port, ideal for shopping and exploring the island by bus. A thoroughly enjoyable five night break.

In need of some TLC. Room had some cheap fittings, wasn’t the cleanest and generally felt neglected. Spa area also pretty rundown, felt very dated and not luxury. Careful with booking the ‘Gourmet Escape’ - we weren’t told where it would be, asked, was shown to brasserie and then had to also ask how it worked. No one really knew what the prepaid 3 course dinner was. Proceeded to be handed a tennerfest menu (cheaper) which would have made us out of pocket by pre booking. Manage to rectify on check out at reception and staff generally helpful. Great location in town and good breakfast but ultimately not a 5* hotel.
