The bar / restaurant was busy every evening which indicates the atmosphere and quality of the food offerings. My advice is to pre-book any time you need a table as there were sufficient waits. The food is good but not great, but certainly fills a gap. Breakfast was great and I actually preferred it to the the evening meals which is a rarity for me. The one evening that I did have to wait for an evening table, I made use of beautiful cliff walks just a few minutes away from the hotel with stunning views, so I can complain at all.

First things first: don't let the reviews from people who would seemingly prefer a Premier Inn put…read moreyou off. This place is steeped in history and class, from ceining-to-floor mirrors and overlaid cartography artwork of Guernsey from 1787 on the walls of the corridors, to Murano glass chandeliers on the ceilings of the communal areas. Valet parking on check-in gives you the ability to pull up directly outside the hotel, give your keys to concierge and forget about your car until you need it back. Which is good, as there's zero parking in Guernsey at the best of times. Reception is grand and very well-presented and the receptionist was friendly and accommodating. From there your bags are carried to your room, the facilities in the room briefly explained to you and you are then left alone. We were upgraded to one of the King Size rooms which meant we had a little more space to play with and a balcony with sea view. The balconies are protected by a motorised window, meaning you can choose to embrace the outside elements or ignore them. The sea view isn't bad (the hotel can't choose what's on the horizon, let's not forget) and you can see Herm island, its counterpart whose name alludes me, and to the right is the island of Sark, and to the left in the far distance is the French coastline. The room we stayed in had a TV with a hotel entertainment package on it, so we had streaming worldwide Internet radio as well as the usual live TV packages. The TV cleverly greets you by name when you turn it on. Beds are monstrously large and very, very comfortable. Pillows are oversized and similarly comforting at night, and the room's blackout blinds and fabric coverings on the walls keep noise and light to a minimum. Turn-down service came while we were out for the evening but we left the room and bed in a mess when we went out and came back to find it made and ready to get in to, with a small bag of cookies, the TV remote and the day's newspaper on the bed for us. Breakfast is served in The Brasserie which is a bright and airy room overlooking their gardens. We were seen and seated promptly, offered the use of the buffet, plus served with what can only be described as the best Eggs Royale south of Penrith that I have ever experienced. Coffee, tea, toast and croissants were served aplenty as well as yoghurts, cereal and museli from the buffet. You are offered use of the gym, jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms and these are found by taking the staircase near the reception area to get to them. You will need your robe, slippers and a towel from the room, and a pound coin for the lockers. The codes to open the changing room doors are available from the gym reception; walk through the gym to get to the changing rooms, and the steam, sauna and jacuzzi await you the other side of the changing rooms. There's also a heated outdoor swimming pool but unfortunately it was covered so we were unable to use it. But it's only 12 degrees outside currently so perhaps that's a blessing in disguise... We stayed at the OGH to mark our last day of three months in Guernsey and it was a lovely experience. It's pricey (for our pockets, at least) but we enjoyed it all and would happily recommend it to others.

One of those allegedly "Upmarket" establishments for which Form seemingly wins over Function every…read moretime. The property is "characterful", which translates as awkward shaped rooms and awkward short flights of stairs rather than step free. The Service is "attentive", which translates as obsequious yet intrusive. And the technical facilities ... well, aircon that cannot maintain 20C or less on a Autumnal September day (with 18C maximum ambient) simply does not deserve to be called aircon! I'm actually quiet laid back normally, but I do think that assuming 'stuff works' should be a reasonable expectation for any establishment, yet increasingly it seems there's better chance of that from the less swanky / budget chains (c.f. modern specification Holiday Inn Expresses and Premier Inns) than self-important hotels like this one. As to alternative recommendations, I'm afraid I can't help, since the type of reliable chain properties I alluded to are scarce in these islands ...

Very nice hotel on the edge of town. We had a sea view and the room was clean and very comfortable…read more The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The place was within walking distance to the town which was very convinient. The restaurant at the hotel was too notch and we ate there a couple of nights that we were there. They also have a pub/bar which was packed every night we were there. What I loved most about this hotel is that is was old, but kept in such great condition and had so much character. If I was to come to Guernsey again I would definitely stay here. You won't be disappointed.

We stayed here once, it has a great bistro, which is all you can eat, or there is the rather elegant restaurant. Roughing it as we do, when we stay in a hotel, we went out to eat. We've eaten in so many cafes and bars. One of my favourites is Salade Nicoise - gosh I'm getting hungry!! this hotel is rather nice indeed. You must see the cathedral and the gardens, and get the local cheese - it's very calorific.
