Strange. I was in Room 407 as well, though not at the same time as Michael P of course ! Quaint, you might call it a boutique hotel, aspiring to greatness, but not living in the real world. Junior suite had all suite amenities but still a sight smaller than any standard USA hotel room. Though heated bathroom floor was a useful touch. TV options limited.
But step back...check-in smooth & courteous. Daily key drop-off friendly but not intrusive. Reception is best part of hotel.
Must admit though, much better than other so-called hotels in St Peter Port.
Restaurant. Hmmm. Tables small, no room for an elbow or a blackberry. Food portions miniscule, nouvelle cuisine in Guernsey ? Ha-Ha. Pricey for a handful of nothing, especially the sea bass. Make sure you order plenty of vegetables to go with the main course. Service very good, but flunkies over-attentive, every twitch I made produced some junior at my elbow, asking if my courgette was warm enough. I dare not catch their eye. But female restaurant duty managers all very cute...

An excellent hotel with extremely attentive staff who made an effort to remember room numbers and names and use them! Dining was superb, breakfast choices excellent. Cleanliness was to a very high standard and our superior room was "superior" indeed! Compared to many hotels we have stayed in over the years, I would say that this definitely falls into our Top 3! We hope to visit again!!

We stayed at the Duke of Richmond for three nights with our two children aged 9 and 7. The hotel staff absolutely made the stay , particularly for our son who's birthday it was . They made them feel very special and welcome with treats and entertainment as well great touches like spotting we were going to the beach and lending us a frisbee, football and towels. They also made a cake and sang happy birthday - what nine year old wouldn't be bowled away ? For those without children I can reassure that this isn't done in a "Butlin's " style just very appropriately and with genuine care . The food at breakfast and dinner was also great and the room "uniquely" but comfortably furnished, great views out over the harbour . Couldn't recommend highly enough

This is one classic hotel which is superbly adorned with a colonial feel. From the Leopard print in the leopard bar to the beautifully appointed white linen bedrooms this hotel does not disappoint.
The staff get to know you and your requirements very quickly and cannot do enough to help you. Nothing is too much for this great team and I cannot fault them.
Impeccable service in the restaurant and bar, the food is simple, elegant and incredibly tasty.
I will revisit as soon as I am able. One of the best hotel experiences I have had for some time.

This was my 2nd stay at the Duke of Richmond. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They addressed us by name throughout our stay, remembered our food and drink preferences, and were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel has real personality and style, with each room uniquely decorated - such a nice change of pace from the cookie cutter chains. The food at the restaurant was equally amazing and I highly recommend the fresh fish of the day, usually caught locally.

This was my first trip to Guernsey and the team at the Duke of Richmond made it memorable. The island itself is beautiful and the Duke of Richmond hotel is a gem. My room was tastefully decorated, in a traditional style, whilst the bathroom and the facilities were modern. I had the pleasure of dining twice at the restaurant and the food was delicious (in particular the cheesecake). Breakfast was lovely too but the thing that really stood out was the attentive service by the team there. Thank you Duke of Richmond, I'll be back!

I stayed at the duke for four nights and it was a lovely experience. The room was gorgeous, breakfast delightful and the staff very friendly and helpful. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the room didn't come with an iron, the bathroom was very small and felt a bit outdated, and on the day of my departure the staff were not as professional as expected. The overall experience was still very good though and I would definitely stay here again.

I don't know what is required for a hotel to have 5 stars, but for me, staying at the Duke of Richmond was a five star experience. We stayed in a junior suite which was beautifully decorated and which had a very spacious terrace on which we could sit and relax. Everything was spotlessly clean and both bedding and towels were of a very high quality. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff - this hotel clearly spends time on staff training - and both we and our two dogs felt very looked after. (Our dogs were presented with home made doggy treats and very plush beds which put ours at home to shame. Shortly after arrival we were given a specially made doggy door hang with a picture of our dogs, to indicate whether we were in or out of the room). There is some reserved parking outside the hotel and also parking controlled by a parking clock next to the hotel. We didn't have any particular problem parking but at very busy times, I think this could be a potentially problem, although the staff will do their best to help out. This is a truly fabulous hotel and we would thoroughly recommend it.

During the summer I was very fortunate to be able to return to The Duke of Richmond. I was delighted to discover that my second visit was as equally delightful as my first! From the moment I arrived at the hotel the staff were extremely attentive and did all they could to ensure that I had a pleasant stay (which I certainly did!). My room was extremely comfortable with a lovely view down to the harbour. Even hurricane Bertha couldn't spoil my happy memories!

Super staff, super room, superb breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here. They even came out to rescue us when we got lost finding the hotel (in the dark with road diversions)
parking is difficult but the staff try and help.
