“Great welcome & staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I stay at the hotel fairly often and have come tor eally appreciate it as the best on the island. The staff are very friendly and eager to help, and the rooms are well equipped. I would add that some of the rooms are quiet small whilst others are huge, so it is worth paying the bit extra for a larger room.

In the smaller rooms the showers are pretty small and not up to the quality of the rest of room or the hotel in general, however apart from that observation there is very little I can fault with the place.

Highly recommended.

“Nice hotel shame about the spa.”

Nice stay, friendly staff. Spa was very difficult to book for paying guests in favour of day visitors. A bit disappointing.

“Lovely hotel, well worth a stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I stayed in a studio suite over Easter weekend. We could not fault the room at all - it was excellent... well appointed, large and very comfortable. The bathroom was similarly excellent. I understand that some have sea views but we were perfectly happy in ours without. Dinner in the restaurant is always a treat with a varied and tasty menu. Afternoon tea is the sitting room is also worth having at least once during the stay. The hotel is centrally located in the middle of town, with sufficient parking. The only downside is that there is no indoor pool and the spa area is a little small, with no windows. But there are two jacuzzis, a sauna and steam room, which is all one really needs for a long weekend.

Room Tip: Worth paying the extra for the studio suites.

“Old Government House is a great hotel”

This was a special long weekend break for my wife’s birthday and simply could not have been bettered by the staff and facilities at this superb hotel. Beautifully furnished and decorated with excellent dining - I could not fault it. The staff are the friendliest I have ever encountered and were just there when needed without ever being obtrusive.
For anyone wanting something very special this hotel has to be worth a visit. It isn’t cheap but you get very much what you pay for and we loved it.

Room Tip: 323 was large and spacious but without a direct sea view
