This is one of the best hotels we have ever visited. We spent a night here 30 years ago on business and always said we would return for leisure one day.
It came up to all expectations, courteous and attentive staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts could be taken in the garden and offered an extensive breakfast menu. The pool was heated to a comfortable 28c, and Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were available free for residents and well appointed.
The hotel is situated conveniently close to the harbour with restaurents and shops nearby.
A perfect stay.

We visited for lunch and dinner all of which was amazing. I notified them that my wife was Gluten Free and they adapted and recommended dishes without a fuss. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the service was relaxed. The food was just stunning and we had a great meal whilst watching the Red moon rise over the marina.

We eat here fairly often and it is one of our favourite restaurants in Guernsey. Ambiance is pleasant, service is good if rather slow at times. They can definitely cook, with many nice 'chefy' touches which raise the standard above many Guernsey restaurants.
Only two things really deter us from eating here more often. One is the price, a three course meal for two including a moderate bottle of wine will not give you much change from £100. Secondly, they could do with a few more changes to the menu, either a 'specials' or seasonal menu would allow me to not be so boring and eat more or less the same thing every visit. I could order it now - smoked haddock chowder followed by the lamb cutlets - and very good it would be, but I enjoy a bit more variety so I need to go elsewhere!

In September 2021, ChoiceHotelsUK said about Duke of Richmond Hotel
We stayed 5 nights at this hotel. We had a standard room for 1 night on our way to Sark and a sea view for 4 nights on our return, Both rooms were very comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel was busy but the staff worked tirelessly to make every guest feel special. The pool areas was very comfortable we were able to use the outdoor pool at it was heated.
It is a nice walk down from the hotel to the centre, but rather a steep walk back. You could get a taxi back up, the cost approximately £6. All in all we had a lovely stay.

As we would expect of a red carnation hotel we were given a warm welcome and our room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is beautiful and standards are high although some investment is needed to keep the outside areas 5 star. The food is excellent and it was a pleasure to enjoy the breakfast buffet after they have been missing from English hotels for nearly 2 years. Although drink prices are high the food prices are very reasonable for such excellent quality. We enjoyed the pool as the weather was warm although the sun beds are not comfortable enough for a 5 start hotel. Service was a bit hit and miss because of staff shortages and many looked tired and stressed but as ever they smiled and tried to ensure we were well looked after. We would be happy to return and loved Guernsey for its beautiful walks. A thank you to all the staff who stayed cheerful and helped to make our stay so enjoyable.

We rocked up here for an unplanned late lunch on a Thursday. After checking the chef was still ok for walk ins we were able to sit outside.
This place is blessed with a stunning location especially when the sun is shining!The food was great too - we only had light bites: crab sandwich (me) and moules (her!) but they were really good - proper bread and loads of crab. Not the cheapest and neither should it be!
Wonderful.

Probably the best hotel in the port of Guernsey with exceptional service. Rooms are very comfortable. Showers are powerful. Breakfast and dinning room are tastfully presented. Breakfast is good.
Top tip: get a deal with breakfast included.
Recommended and would rebook.
Cabs to airport is £30 flat rate

In September 2022, Richard Bodenham said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Accommodation excellent. Spa lovely. Staff very helpful but suffering shortages like all hospitality. That was the only downside. Will certainly come back as it has been a great stay and I'm sure it will be more than 5 star then
