A short stay in July and I cannot fault anything.
I was a single traveller and initially was put in a room with a connecting door. Not ideal but the occupants next door and I said hello in the corridor and all was ok. That was until change over and my new 'neighbours' decided to try the door!
I spoke with the Duty Manager (a wonderful man) and was moved immediately. The only room available was a deluxe and I was not charged extra for the reminder of my stay.
Both rooms I had were absolutely fine. Both were more than adequate; hairdryer, iron/board, fridge, tea/coffee, hot chocolate, water still & sparkling, bathroom was huge with wonderful smelling toiletries. Both had view's of the grounds.
The only difference in the rooms were that the deluxe had air conditioning, a coffee machine, dressing gowns and slippers.
House keeping staff were friendly, a morning 'hello' and extremely helpful.
I only had breakfast at the hotel and again the teams were fantastic. As a single traveller they try and sit you near the window so you don't feel your in a goldfish bowl! Very thoughtful. One morning I wanted to take breakfast to go, a wonderful waiter fetched a container so I could 'grab & go'!
Didn't use the pool but did use the gym. It's a little out dated and could do with an overhaul but I could still manage a workout.
I use to live on Guernsey so know of the hotel over many years. Having now stayed there as a guest, would I recommend, definitely

A lovely sea food restaurant overlooking the beach. We had sea bass and fish and chips. Almost like a fine dining place. Freshly made food very reasonably priced. Will go again for sure.

Although a little faded in places this is a most pleasant hotel and the staff were just terrific going out of their way to be helpful. Sitting out on the terrace overlooking the lake in the warm Guernsey sunshine was superb and the bar prices very reasonable.
We used the pool every morning at 7.0am and enjoyed the sauna, steam room and outside hot tub. Lovely towels were provided and the showers in the changing rooms were great.
BUT we made the mistake of going half board rather than walking into town to eat. We often had to wait up to an hour after ordering for food to arrive. I am vegetarian and with the menu not changing all week I was very limited.
On two nights they made a dhal just for me but on the last night I had a bowl of chips and some rather overcooked onion rings. Not what you would expect from a four star hotel.
The breakfasts were excellent most mornings but warmed plates were a rare thing and twice I was served rock hard poached eggs.
A hotel that you will enjoy staying at but do not go half board.

The hotel room was fine with a nice bathroom and shower.All of the staff were excellent and the reception staff and restaurant manager,Bobby, were attentive and always smiling couldn’t have wished for better service.
The food menu was a bit challenging as we don’t do fish but the portions were ,if anything, too big for old codgers like us and the breakfast was excellent.
Only downside was the fact it is uphill from St Peter Port and after a day trekking around it was a struggle climbing back up to the hotel for us so we took a taxi a couple of times which was convenient and relatively inexpensive.
Overall this is a great hotel with great staff but if you have mobility issues you will need to use taxis.

Lovely hotel, pool and spa. Spacious room with large and comfortable bed, nice balcony, fairly quiet. Friendly reception staff, only gripe was breakfast served at 7am which isn’t convenient for some business users like myself, needs to be earlier even if continental.

In September 2022, mrdave said about Duke of Richmond Hotel
a huge thank to Paul, we spent the whole week in the bar and never had to even ask, he just knew our drinks order, certainly the out standing employee at the duke, breakfast very good, dinner average depending on who working got the feeling the Bobby was go but was trying to hard, not the first time I stayed at an RCH hotel so knew what to expect our experience and expectations very meet at the bear minimum, and it a shame that I have to focus on one individual at the end of the day the truth is the truth our last member is Paul and talking to some members of staff they simply don’t value him and don’t care really they opening say his just a bartender, the young lady Susan was poor can’t imagine the difference between her and Paul, or Senzo, the hotel is ok the sad jazz music needs to be looked at, obviously as most of the guests are of a certain age but still you have to grow and attract different people, the only thing I’ll add is Paul has to be your employee of the year otherwise is wrong and somewhat discrimination if you do see what he brings to the company or just to the island, if you as a RCH are about progression and development of employees keep Paul, just the little things that make a difference

We were guaranteed a walk in shower for our stay. Our travel agent rang the hotel to ensure it and the guarantee was written in capitals on the booking. Arrived tired to find only over bath shower and a shrug from management . Very distressing for someone with mobility difficulties- and no a bidet does not help as was suggested!

In September 2022, Paul R said about Old Government House Hotel & Spa
The OGH’s reputation as the iconic, go to hotei in St Peter Port meant we arrived in Guernsey with great excitement and even greater expectations. These were exceeded. Being greeted with a glass of Prosecco on arrival got our trip off to a great start. Location is perfect with key attractions in easy walking distance. Food and drink of very high standard - having breakfast Al fresco each day under the expert care of restaurant manager Alessandro gave us particular pleasure. Room very well appointed. But the jewel in the crown is the staff - wonderful, attentive and courteous service in all settings. In summary a great Hotel that we look forward to returning to.

We stayed here recently for 5 nights and had had a pleasant stay. The good points are the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. The breakfast choice and standard were also good. We dined one evening which was ok and busy but for the cost of food found food to be mediocre. We dined out the other 4 nights. We used the pool area one day for a couple of hours which was nice. The hotel isn’t very big and whilst there were several work conferences going on so was very limited space to relax. Our room was well set out and comfy bed but looking tired and in need of updating especially the bathroom. We like walking and didn’t mind the walk into town an uphill back but could see it being a problem for some.
The taxi we ordered at reception for return to airport was far more expensive than when we arrived and felt ripped off. The Irish driver who seems to know the staff well didn’t put his meter on and just plucked a price out of the air. I think the hotel should review who they use for guests or at least arrange a pre arranged cost like other hotels do.
