The Duke of Richmond Hotel is a charming, Art Deco hotel situated on top of the hill in St Peter Port. The walk to & from town is definitely a good workout! Breakfasts are on ereally well done with a good selection of cereals, fruit, meats, cheeses, eggs, etc & good coffee. The staff were always helpful & friendly!

I booked The Duke of Richmond on the back of previous Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. Situated high above St Peter Port it was a tranquil haven and ideal base for our island adventures. A quirky, opulent, well appointed hotel with a leopard theme and extensive mix of sculptures & art work which added a surreal feel. Staff friendly and the Birthday cards and sweet treats a nice touch. Breakfasts were delicious (see pictures) and there were Gluten Free options on request. The hotel does a courtesy call prior to your stay and arranged taxi transfers for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break and would highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is in a great position near Victoria Park, Museum of Guernsey and the German Naval transmission base It’s a good steep walk from the Port, but taxis are pretty frequent. Our room was lovely and spacious and the bed very comfortable. I would have liked a flexible hose shower in the bathroom. The hand hold on the wall was loose and I mentioned it, so it was fixed quickly. I also had to ask for hand soap as gel doesn’t really cut it for me.
Breakfast provided a good range of foods to suit most tastes. The cooked breakfasts I had were lovely. Some excellent smoothies and healthy options. I took advantage of their swimming pool which was open until 8pm. I didn’t particularly like the zebra skin chairs in the room by reception as I disagree with trophy hunting. I did like the suit of armour by the lift. The views from the terrace were lovely and you could see down to St Peters Port. The hotel has a good variety of events during the year, and we were able to watch a bit of Wimbledon Tennis on the terrace. I would stay here again

I was absolutely blown away by the reception I received from this hotel.
I went to my room and there was a lovely card welcoming me and a bottle of red wine.
Helen duty manager she was absolutely phenomenal she came and helped me with the Aircon as I was on able to set it nothing was too big or too small for her and she chatted to me like she knew me three years.
I went to the restaurant to have my evening meal and I was greeted by an amazing lady called Sarah Linton she was so professional so warming & welcoming and her team worked amazingly well this is a place that I will keep close and will remember to visit again. This hotel gets my top rating it is absolutely superb.
The turndown service is absolutely great I came back to find lovely chocolate’s on my bed waiting for me and everything that I’d used was replenished thank you for your kindness. 👍👍👍

This was a significant anniversary for us and so I spent a great deal of time looking for a hotel on the island that we spent our first on, more years than I would like to remember....
We had a phone call from the hotel a day or so before we arrived to check that everything was ok and if we needed transport from the airport, this focus on detail was followed through throughout our visit.
I cannot say enough about how friendly and helpful the staff were through the visit.
I spend most of my time in hotels around the world, last year I stayed at nearly 90, and this is one of the best. The breakfast is the best I have had.
The card and cake that arrived on our anniversary was just the topping on the cake (!)
Well worth that 5 stars, but the staff means I would like to add another

A very good standard hotel that has been refurbished in many parts. We had a short weekend break and were very impressed. In my view the décor was a bit ostentatious but my wife liked it. Bedroom was a bit small and made worse by the amount of literature ,magazines and information left. Service is excellent with plenty of staff. Pool is the warmest I have ever been in and the area is a sun trap. Lovely experience. Breakfast one of the best I have ever had. Only bad comment is one morning bacon underdone.

A three day break in Guernsey with stunning weather was good in itself but the Duke of Richmond Hotel was a perfect place to add to the holiday. From an initial welcome, to impeccable service and great food, the whole experience was wonderful. The staff in the hotel reflected a League of Nations with about 14 different nationalities making up the team. Every member of staff was friendly without losing their professionalism.
Although we were able to get a parking space they are in short supply but street parking is nearby.

This is the second time we stayed at this hotel and as with the first time it was absolutely faultless. It’s in a lovely location and it’s always very clean and pleasant. However the most outstanding thing about this hotel is the staff. Every single one of them will greet you with a with a smile and nothing is ever too much trouble they are always on hand to help. We love it here and cannot wait to return.

We were so impressed with this perfect gem of a hotel which we chose for our short honeymoon break. The service without exception was incredibly helpful. The food was outstanding, especially the surprise tasting menu in the Governor's Restaurant and the very fresh seafood. Our room was roomy, tastefully decorated and comfortable with a gorgeous bathroom and had views across the entire harbour and castle. The hotel is located minutes from the main shopping area of St Peter Port and the harbour and it was lovely to be able to go 'car-free' for a few days without feeling confined or isolated. There was plenty to see in the area and the concierge service arranged taxis and helped plan our sightseeing. We have nothing but praise for this hotel and look forward to returning again soon.
