Robert United Kingdom

Excellent property, stayed here about 6 years ago, and has not changed, impeccable service and standard, very elegant

Stephen United Kingdom

Old Government House is a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities. The view from the breakfast room/ brasserie was just gorgeous, overlooking the sea with Herm in the distance. Everything was beautifully kept and the staff were very helpful, particularly at reception, concierge and taking care of our car parking. Our room was very comfortable and the bathroom quite luxurious. The hotel is literally a few minutes walk from the St Peter Port's shops, harbour and restaurants. We had a lovely stay.

Linda United Kingdom

Lovely old hotel, great views and fantastic staff.
