We come to Guernsey twice a year. We have family here but we love to stay in Hotels.
We came for Lunch at the St. Pierre on our last visit and decided to give it a whirl this time.
In our opinion it is a Corporate Hotel. Great for Business Travellers and Conferences.
As frequent visitors to Guernsey and frequent guests of 5 star Hotels, I think we'd say :
It's not what we would class as 5-star. It lacks the finesse of other 5-star Hotels.
The staff are generally friendly enough. Although the Spa staff have a practiced air of snobbery and disdain.
The Hair Salon is not open at the weekend.
Food service finishes at 10pm. The Room Service Menu continues for a short time after 10pm but is limited to Sandwiches.
We returned after a dreadful meal at 10:15pm hoping for Desserts and Digestifs - only to be disappointed. We could have the drinks but not the Pudding. I'm not sure how hard it is to scoop some Guernsey Ice Cream into a Bowl?
It's pleasant. It's clean. It's Corporate. The Spa is lovely.
We look forward to returning to the Fermain Valley Hotel next visit.

Previously a Guernsey resident now have returned to the rock this weekend for a friends wedding and stayed 2 nights here. The hotel was the pride of Guernsey back in the day, now it's a smart hotel that needs an overhaul, we had a classic double room with little balcony overlooking the car park. It's clean mostly modern but still has a key to open the room door, dated in this day and age also it has no aircon this is a huge let down. Beds comfortable sheets clean and fresh shower in the bath. Not helpful if you are less able bodied. Wifi throughout. Health suite available
We only dined for the wedding reception so can't comment on other meals but would warn that the bar prices are exorbitant £20 for two large glasses of wine !!! The staff are friendly and as most common in Guernsey not local
This hotel is known locally for corporate seminars and company Christmas parties these will always take preference over guests so expect residents bar and meals to be relocated
If you're there for business it's fine, it's not 5 star it's guernsey's 5 crown rating so don't compare or expect London or even Jersey metro city style hotel
If you're going for leisure to Guernsey. Unless it's on a special package look at other hotels.

Just back from a 4 night stay. Had Dinner every evening in the Restaurant and the food was amazing. We stayed in a Master suite with private garden and our own Hot tub.
The let down for this hotel was Housekeeping. Our Bathroom had not been cleaned from the previous residents. The bottles of Water were not re placed and the same with the Coffee/sugar etc. Every day things were missing and I had to chase them up.
Not really good enough and I know our room was not the only one.This is the only let down for a lovely Hotel.

Recently stayed for 2 nights as part of a friends wedding party.
The room we stayed in was very comfortable had everything required for our stay.
The service during the wedding reception could have done with some work, no water was provided and at one point there was not one server to provide drinks, many people sat with empty glasses the bar was closed as well this was a little frustrating.
Having had to communicate several times with events staff and hotel reception about things that needed amending the night before and the morning of the wedding I would have to say I wouldn't recommend friends or family to use it as a venue for future events.

In November 2019, Allison H said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We stayed here 28 years ago for our honeymoon and returned for a weekend away to celebrate my birthday.
We stayed in a junior suite which was lovely and we had a terrace with a hot tub. The hot tub had been set at 41 degrees which was far too hot so we reset it for 38 which was great once it cooled down.
We ate in the hotel restaurant both nights and as vegans we were very well catered for. There was nothing suitable on the menu but the chef came up with a few options for us to choose from (perhaps they should be on the menu). The restaurant staff were excellent.
We had breakfast in the Victor Hugo restaurant and again the staff were very good and provided us with good vegan options. We had lunch one day in the bar which was also good and there was a vegan option on the menu.
We both had treatments in the spa which were excellent, it has all been renovated since our last visit and is a beautiful area with excellent staff. One of the best massages and facials we have ever had.
The grounds of the hotel are lovely and we enjoyed a walk around the grounds and the golf course.
It was a lovely nostalgic weekend and a lovely hotel, if we ever go back to Guernsey we would definitely stay there again.

we really enjoyed a 3 night break booked through Channel Islands Direct which was ideal; the rooms were lovely, breakfast and snacks very good indeed and we received constantly friendly professional service; all this plus an exceedingly smart leisure club with a feature hot tub which is superb - would love to return

In May 2015, lexcarr said about Duke of Richmond Hotel
Stayed here with some friends for a weekend. The service was excellent and we felt like we had arrived in a luxury London hotel. The rooms were very well appointed and we loved the cocktails in the bar and food in the restaurant. We didn't get to use the pool or terrace as the weather wasn't terrific but we would certainly stay again. The barman George is worth a special mention, a real asset to this hotel.

We did this a deal with Condor ferries and Travelsmith. Overall v good value for money. Quiet, well appointed (if a bit fussy) room, great bed and bathroom. Generous breakfasts - very helpful staff.
Parking not clever unless you are familiar with Guernsey parking schemes - only 5 hotel spaces so you might have a walk.

I have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Duke of Richmond, with my mother and sister. The purpose of the trip was to celebrate my sisters 50th birthday. I cannot fault the service of the staff, who were extremely attentive, friendly and made a happy visit all the more memorable. We were given a complimentary bottle of champagne, along with a deluxe afternoon tea, and glasses of prosecco on our arrival....... all to celebrate our special trip. We had a junior suite, which was very comfortable, roomy, and light. I had a slight issue with my "put you up bed", but this was swiftly dealt with once I alerted housekeeping. The ambience of the hotel was incredible, and I really got the impression that all the staff enjoyed their jobs! A good location for walking into the harbour, only 10 mins through the beautiful Candie Gardens. Breakfast was delicious,and the portions were hugely generous. I highly recommend this hotel, and would not hesitate booking it again. Thank you DOR for a happy, fun trip.

What a wonderful hotel the Duke of Richmond is. The ultra efficient, friendly welcoming staff in all areas, are just superb EVERYBODY is made to feel like you are the most importnt person in the hotel. Our room was absolutely spotless and very nice, good quality bedding , turn down service FOC if required. There are three glasses of free sweets (jelly beans! chocolate limes and humbugs) and cold tea in reception. Special mention to the restaurant staff especially Katherine who has got the lovliest Of smiles. It take 33 mins flying time from Gatwick 10 mins to the hotel from the Airport . The local island of Herm is stunning the Shell Beach is just like the Caribbean . you can get a boat from the harbour for £12.50 takes 20 mins and the Island of Sark is £29 and takes 40 mins. Both well worth a visit.
