We had an excellent stay here at Easter 2016. The hotel was beautifully decorated, all the staff we had dealings with at reception, at breakfast and in the bar were all very friendly and professional and in particular Aaron, our Easter Bunny went beyond the call of duty to help us, when our ferry was cancelled and we had to book a flight and have a very early breakfast, which arrived in our room promptly and with a big smile, even at 6.00am! We also had some dealings with Ben on reception, who was also very helpful and friendly.
Our room (409) was sumptuous and far exceeded our expectations. The selection at breakfast was the best I had ever seen just couldn't decide between all the yummy food on offer.
All in all a wonderful stay and will be looking at other hotels in the chain and hope they are up to the same standards.

This was a superb hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. From the friendly greeting from Lorna on reception to all the wait staff and indeed anyone we met in the hotel. The training of the wait staff in the breakfast room was excellent and we felt like an honoured guest. It was my birthday whilst visiting and the hotel had arranged an 'birthday plate' of fruits, chocolate dipped strawberries etc but what was more, a birthday card signed by all the staff. The hotel is superbly appointed and great for a short walk downhill to the town - you may want to get a taxi back! Thoroughly recommend it,

This hotel is a beautiful building but its the staff that really make it special. Every one was not only well trained but friendly and helpful too. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was delicious. I have to recommend the cocktails - really special, and I know my cocktails!

Do you need a short break for a few days with a free night thrown in? Highly recommend a deal to Guernsey for a quick unwind and relaxing few days. Only surprise was its old tradition of being closed on a sunday so if you want a few souvenirs to take home this is not the day to shop.
We stayed in the Duke of Richmond Hotel and were thoroughly spoiled. It is set near the back of St Peter Port so does require a bit of leg work to get to from the centre up a few steep roads. There is a route through the well attended Candie gardens which offers plenty of seats to rest and admire the views and flower beds
Travelled with car from Poole on the Condor ferry and couldn't fault it. Arrived early there and back
The island offers great walks, beaches and coves wherever you go
Took a trip to Hern on a short ferry ride which offered more lovely walks and a fabulous beach on the far side
All in all a good place to be for a quick unwind and recharge

We visited the duke of Richmond hotel Valentine's weekend, The hotel had been closed for a refit and the first day it opened we happened to stay . Unfortunately the heating was not working in the rooms and it was freezing. The hotel reception staff were very apologetic and I guess it was something that couldn't be helped. In the end the heating was fixed.
Breakfast was good and if you get the right seats you can see over the bay. We also had one of the afternoon teas that came with sandwiches and cake which was very nice. Also there is a little veranda that you can sit out on but unfortunately the weather wasn't very nice so we didn't get a chance.
I ordered room service but because I was slightly late had to go down to the restaurant and pay for the food which kind of defeats the object of ordering room service. I asked if cheese could be added to something I'd ordered and they said they could but it arrived with out the cheese.
The room was clean and had all the bits you would expect from an above average hotel.
the hotel was decorated in a kind of 1920s style theme which I liked.
The food is meant to be very good in the restaurant and it was fully booked so that is normally a good sign. Unfortunately because of this we didn't get to try out the dinner menu.
Altogether a good stay, just unfortunate that the heating wasn't working and the room service didn't quite go to plan otherwise I would of given a 5. I would stay again.

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Customer service throughout our stay was of the highest standard. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean being well maintained and serviced.
Breakfast was a delight and the evening meals well cooked, superbly presented and excellent value. The professionalism and smartness of appearance of staff again was high. There are many establishments that should aspire to match the operation of "The Duke Of Richmond"

The hotel is very welcoming and the standard of service very high. Staff are attentive but not intrusive. Cleanliness is excellent. The breakfasts are huge and the chef is willing to cater for individual needs. we had two evening meals both of an excellent standard, the crab starter that I enjoyed was truly magnificent. We had a room with a sea view which unusually had two chairs so we were able to sit and read. The terrace was a delightful spot for relaxing in the sunshine. we were touched that staff had noticed it was our anniversary and sent us a card and a food gift. I would recommend this hotel highly. Be aware that there is a steep hill to the hotel but it is worth the climb! Taxis are willing to take you back from the seafront to the hotel.

This is one of our most favourite places to stay, it's great decor, fabulous rooms and even great views to top!
The Duke of Richmond is situated just a short stroll to the town of St Peter Port and right beside Candie Museum and gardens. It's a four star hotel with five star service and a five star heart! Nothing is too much for the staff who all work hard in making everyone's stay a memorable one.
We travelled as a family with a dog and booked a suite. The views over St Peter Port were breathtaking as was the room itself. A comfy bed along with lovely touches such as biscuits, clipper tea, fresh coffee and sweets.
The dog was treated just as well with her own bed, bowl and certificate to say she had stayed with them. They also make up special door handle tags to let people know there is a dog in the room. Our dog is a small service dog so has to travel with us, but this Hotel is very pet friendly.
The staff go out of their way to help in any way they can, such as Aaron who took care of me when I suffered a migraine on our first day as soon as he heard about it, he bought to the room, Iced water, napkins and ice for my headache. The reception staff made us feel warmly welcomed.
The restaurant is great along with a fabulous bar called the leopard bar. Breakfasts are amazing with items such as smoked salmon, kippers and beautiful freshly made eggs. You don't get just three choices of juice but many, from pineapple, cranberry, pomegranate, banana and strawberry smoothies. If I could live here I would!
My extreme thanks to all the staff, both in reception, housekeeping and the restaurant, to stay here means you have sampled amazing Guernsey hospitality from the islands best staff. Will I be back with our family? YES!

A really lovely hotel, with superb food. Breakfast was plentiful and if you choose to have an evening meal it was of a very high standard. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Aaron who couldn't do enough for us. We upgraded to a suite after our first night as found the standard room to be on the small side. The suite had everything that we could have asked for. Hairdryer, iron, fluffy towels, robes, slippers, even down to stationery in the desk drawer and the little easter eggs left on our bed were a nice touch. We will definitely visit again.
