In the terms of the Gregory Horror Show, the Guest is the label given to the main protagonist. Whether male or female, the Guest is the wandering (always human) soul that checks into the hotel and has to endure the terrors of the other residents therein. Their ultimate goal is always to escape from Gregory's purgatory world and return to reality. Most of the time, however, they ultimately fail, and even if they return to reality, they often come back quickly.
In the anime, the Guest is unseen. Most of the action is shown from the Guest's point of view. Even when the camera is in third person, the Guest is invisible but present.
In Soul Collector, the player takes on the role of the Guest; see "Boy and Girl Guest" below for details. Also, the term "guest" is used to refer to a resident of Gregory House besides apparently Gregory himself, but this seems mostly exclusive to the game.
The First Guest[]
The First Guest is the term used to indicate the protagonist of the first season of the anime. The First Guest is a businessman/office drone with a wife and son to support. His ultimate fate is becoming the empty shell of a man, Haniwa Salaryman.
The Second Guest[]

The Second Guest is the term used to indicate the protagonist of the second season of the anime, appropriately subtitled "The Second Guest." The Second Guest is a young woman who checked in on the way back from her best friend's wedding, where said friend married the Guest's ex-boyfriend. Some believe this was Haniwa. The Second Guest is a smoker (ticking off Hell's Chef more than once) and has issues with anger. Her ultimate fate was becoming a resident of the hotel and apparently being welcomed into Gregory's family; although we do not see her final form, James speaks to a person casting the shadow of a mouse during the final episode, while Gregory is in the front hall and Gregory Mama generally doesn't leave her room. There is a photo of an unnamed female mouse from Soul Collector, which could possibly be a photograph of the second guest, which implies that her welcoming into the Gregory family was more of the marital kind, if this is indeed the second guest.
Boy and Girl Guest[]
The Boy Guest
The Girl Guest
The Boy and Girl Guests are the protagonists of Gregory Horror Show: Soul Collector. The player plays as one of these characters depending on the gender the player gave at the beginning of the game. The body of a young child is loaned to the player by Death so the Guest can gather the Lost Souls the hotel's residents are carrying. Ultimately, the Guest gathers all the souls, returns them to Death, and escapes to reality, but then realizes the nature of the hotel and eventually returns. The Boy guest became the player's main character in the first arc of Gregory Horror Show: Lost Qualia upon entering the hotel in a middle of a struggle between Gregory and the hotel residence against an antagonistic entity known as "That man" and his minions. the guest becomes an unlikely hero of Gregory House that must form an alliance with Gregory and the other residences and take back the hotel. In the second arc, Girl guest was introduced with an entirely new design as a playable character during the start of the game, and takes a job at the hotel alongside the boy guest as Deputy manager upholding Gregory house and taking up quests from other residences.
Tooru Takenozuka[]
Tooru is the protagonist and guest of Gregory Horror Show: Another World. Unlike the anime's protagonists, Tooru at first appears to be a young NEET, or "Not in Education, Employment, or Training." After being rejected by one last landlord, he is recommended Gregory House. During his encounter with Roulette Boy, he is revealed to actually be a 50 year old office worker who, after the death of his wife, reverts back to his 22 year old self. His daughter attempts to save him. After he escapes, he sees Hell's Chef in the streets, implying he may return to Gregory House some day. He is currently the only guest to have a full name.
Hiroshi[]

Hiroshi, according to his bio, is an elementary school student he ended up in Gregory House, and knows about Gregory's plans to destroy the world. It is unknown if this is the first guest to not end up becoming a permanent resident of the Gregory House. He is the second guest to have a real name; the first being Tooru.
That Man[]
The only guest that is not a protagonist, but is the main antagonist of the first arc of Gregory Horror Show: Lost Qualia he is said to be an entrepreneurial enthusiast who ended up in Gregory house with a delusional lust for power and his stay made his beliefs strong and became an entity with powers beyond comprehension thus he is able to take over Gregory's ownership of his hotel and the world and to make sure it remains in his control he created an army of mages, skeletons, rock knights, and even minions who are pale counterparts based on the houseguests, he also warped the hotel to become a randomly generated dungeon to prevent anyone from reaching him.
