Group of 14 of us stayed at Duke of Richmond for three nights. It was perfect. The staff were so friendly & helpful & fun. Great location - 7 minute stroll into St Peter Port. Lovely sea views on request. Rooms all beautifully decorated. Heated outdoor pool.

We stayed here to celebrate hubby's birthday over the late May bank holiday weekend. We were given a lovely sea view room. Loved how it was furnished and the little quirks. Bathroom was great - fantastic power shower - and a really comfy bed. All spotlessly clean. We had a lovely little birthday cake put in the room as a surprise which was yummy. The breakfasts were really lovely - loved the haddock and poached egg or the kippers. Lovely choices. We ate in the restaurant one night and really enjoyed our food. Service was great. I love the location of the hotel by Candie Gardens and Cambridge Park. It's quite a walk back up hill from the town but we enjoyed the work out! Lovely cutting through Candie Gardens too to get to and from hotel if you like. (Nice little tea rooms in the Gardens - great cheese on toast!) Bus stop is just down the road. Would definitely return to this Hotel.

I hosted a corporate event on 11/6 and couldn't have had more help and support from Hilario and his Team. They ensured the day was seamless and I very much appreciate their support. Kamal on the day was fantastic. Equally the hotel accommodation, services and facilities were great. Many thanks!

We only stayed one night as a stopover for Sark, but very pleased we chose this hotel
Very French styled which was nice, most comfortable bed and clean modern en suite.
Would have been happier if I could have opened the wi Dow a little further, but I think all hotels these days assume you can't be trusted with a window that opens!!
First rate breakfast with a hassle free check out..perfect

Had a lovely ten day stay here on a Bed and Breakfast deal. Breakfasts were excellent with a varied choice. Dining Room staff were exceptionally friendly as were all the staff.
We ate a few evening meals in the Leopard Restaurant. A bit pricey but excellent food and so well served.
We had a lovely furnished bedroom but a bit on the small side for a ten day stay. We appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities.
We had a pleasant walk to the town (where we connected with buses and ferries, ) through Candie gardens. Bit of a steep climb back!

We stayed here for a few days to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary. We chose this hotel because it is in the same Red Carnation group as the 4* hotel we stay at when we are in London. What an excellent choice we made. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. They certainly lived up to their Motto – ‘No request is too large, no detail too small’. The food was very good with a varied menu and generous portions. Would suggest you try the Cheesecake if you want a special desert. The rack of lamb was excellent as was the fillet steak. It is in a good location with a 15 minute stroll into town especially if you go via the Candie Gardens. We were so impressed with the hotel that we are thinking of returning later in the year for a longer break.

Lovely hotel but a bit further away from the harbour than advertised & the road is much steeper than advertised so be careful before booking. We booked this for our 20th anniversary so although it was expensive, we decided to splash out. In the first room we had, neither the heating nor the towel rail worked & as it had been raining all day & we were soaked, we needed to get our clothes dry. We reported this & they sent a very young arrogant male to deal with us (feedback has been given about him to management). As they could not promise repairs, reception upgraded us which was very nice as we had not caused a fuss. Breakfast was average at best & you had to order hot food & tea & coffee so you only received a set amount. Having said that, the waiting staff were great at breakfast and dinner. There was a strange occurance the first morning. We ordered 2 full breakfasts, one without blackpudding & one without tomato when they arrived, the blackpudding & tomato were on the same plate. We repeated our order & the lovely waitress took the plates away. Where I was sitting you could see the serving counter through the mirror & the chef argued about whether he had the order wrong, then picked up the blackpudding with his bare hands & flung it onto the other plate, leaving it standing at an angle, propped up against other food. Whilst I am not surprised they did this, I find it odd in a hotel of that stature that they did it in full view of everyone & didn't place the blackpudding properly on the plate to at least appear as if they cared. Other people had problems with breakfast, receiving food exactly the same as the dish they had sent back. The waiters & waitresses tried hard but there is little they can do if kitchen staff care so little.

As we booked late we had to have a standard room, so no view unfortunately. The room, although very compact, seemed to have been very recently refurbished so everything was pristine, especially the bathroom. The decor may not be to everyone's taste, particularly if you like modern design, but it fitted perfectly into the overall look of the hotel. Usually we try to eat at different places each night but the first time was so good we decided to eat here again a second time, and couldn't find any fault with the quality of food or the service. The breakfasts were also excellent, especially the fish dishes. All the staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful. The only two downsides were the car parking (only five spaces) and the problem at breakfast time when the hotel is busy. We had a notice delivered saying that as the hotel was almost full we should avoid the 9-10am period. Being well organised, we turned up at 8.30am to find that everyone else had had a similar idea!! We sat for 20 minutes waiting for a table along with a dozen others, and of course from 9.15am onwards the restaurant was two thirds empty!! Quite an own goal. However, our overall stay was very comfortable and relaxing, and we would definitely return if we visited Guernsey again.
