I stayed here with my husband on the 4 nights for the price of 3 offer. We had a room overlooking the park, rather than the pricier sea view rooms and were pleased that we got a quiet room with a good view. Our room was a good size and the shower was powerful, which is very important to us as we hate weak showers. We even had a handwritten card from Jo on reception welcoming us.
The staff were very friendly and helpful at all times, with nothing too much trouble. A special thanks to Jo and Aaron on reception, Paul in the bar and Olga in the restaurant.
Breakfasts were freshly made to order and high quality. Very pleasant conservatory restaurant or the cosier Leopard bar for all meals. A good sign was that it was always busy with locals as well as tourists. This was ourfirst trip to Guernsey, but it won't be our last. We plan to return in the spring when the wildlife is at its best and we can go on all the walks we hadn't time for the first time around.

Went on a three nights for two break, coinciding with Guernsey's Tennerfest, when many restaurants offer bargain meals. So we had good value, but even so would go again without these benefits. We were particularly impressed with the hotel's staff, invariably friendly & helpful. The restaurant & bar have a great lively atmosphere.

What a wonderful find the Duke of Richmond Hotel is. The hotel is just gorgeous and the standard of our king size twin room was excellent. The furnishings in rooms and hotel were modern, eclectic and tasteful. The staff were a joy to be around and nothing was too much trouble, at all times they were helpful and informative and if it was something they could not answer then they would certainly find somebody that could.The food was delicious and the portions were generous to say the least. We visited when the Tennerfest was on and found this to be fantastic value for money.
The hotel is next door to the very pretty Candie Gardens, and the only issue was it was up a long hill to get back from town !!!! My answer to that is jump in a cab and do not be put off by that ( taxi was only a few pounds)
Thank you for a very indulgent stay and i will be back.

My wife and I booked this hotel for a short break in Guernsey. We were lucky to get one of the hotel's four or five parking slots and were made to feel very welcome when we checked in. Throughout our stay all the staff were always friendly and helpful.
We had booked a room with a sea view and a queen sized bed. This was comfortable enough although it was smaller than we had envisaged and we felt a bit cramped and we could have done with more drawers. However, it was well equipped and the provision of a bath rather than a shower was welcome. The sea view was limited as the hotel is in fact some way set back from the actual shore line and we were only on the first floor.
Breakfasts were quite excellent and we also enjoyed the food at the one dinner we had in the hotel.

We met as a family for a wedding anniversary meal. The staff were very pleasant, attentive and helpful, and due to the occasion a couple of bottles of wine were complimentary. The food was of a very good standard, and very nicely presented.
However we are convinced that one of the sweets that we had were not as described on the menu, despite the staff not being convinced
Overall a pleasant night out.

Stayed for a week. The only reason for not giving 5* is that the hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk from the town Centre up a steep hill.
The staff are all very friendly and helpful; the room was very good, everything worked and it was quiet.

Recently enjoyed a 5 night stay at this hotel. Food was exceptional & reasonably priced for a 4 star hotel. All Staff - from cleaners to management were all very helpful and welcoming. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel - only downside is that it is at the top of a hill - but good location as only 10 mins or so from town centre.
Would definitely return.

OK lets be honest. My first impression was not good. On arrival the reception team couldn't find our booking, eventually told us one room number and gave us a key for another room. We had pre arranged and paid for champagne to be in our room on arrival, it wasn't there, but was later put into the room when I complained. From then on in the staff were very attentive and the hotel was great.
On our 1st night we had a meal in the Leopard Bar and could not fault the food or the staff in any way. I can recommend the Lemon Sole and the Ham Hock. We also had another meal later in the week and again this was great in every aspect. I would suggest that you book a table before you go or at least early morning on the day you want it.Breakfast is very good, with plenty of choices that I'm sure accommodates every pallet.
The bar has a huge variations of drinks and im sure they will have anything that you are looking for. Can I suggest that you have a 'liquid cheesecake' cocktail and if Alex is on duty ask him for his own designed cocktail, the 'Pinkett' and I'm pretty sure you will not be disappointed with either. It was interesting that I overheard another guest saying that the staff had made his holiday for him and would be recommending the hotel to friends.
The hotel is only a 15 min walk from the town centre / Harbour but please note that the walk back is ALL UPHILL.
A final word from me, the staff and food make the hotel and all need a big pat on the back.

Can’t rate this hotel highly enough. The staff are brilliant, extremely courteous and very helpful. Our ferry to Jersey was cancelled at the last minute and the hotel was able to re-accomodate our group of 16 at very short notice.....brilliant.
Rooms are very clean, modern, with lovely touches like great towels, great pillows and a comfy bed.
Definitely recommend very highly.
