From check in to check out this hotel was of the highest standard. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them.
The room was clean and comfortable with a high standard of decoration. The Queen size bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was spotless and there was a room safe.
It was my birthday on the first day of our three night stay, while we were settling in the staff brought up a birthday card and some nice nibbles, a very nice touch.
Breakfast was very good a great selection, with something for everyone, fruit and yoghurt followed by two poached eggs on toast for me. I did give in one morning to the pancakes, bacon and maple syrup one morning.
We ate in the restaurant on one evening and were very pleased with standard of food, I had a special of crabcakes to start followed by Sea Bass both were excellent.
We were lucky enough to have some sunny weather and spent an afternoon by the outdoor heated pool, the pool was good and warm so even though it was not the warmest of days the pool was still very pleasant.
A definite return visit is on our agenda for the next time we visit Guernsey, we would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting St. Peter Port.

called in for drinks and sat at bar where staff came to get drink orders but they seemed to be constantly bickering and disagreeing with the main barman and each other which was very unprofessional in front of customers

We were a little dubious of what to expect when we arrived as the room we had booked wasn't available, we had a refund.However we found it to be ok. even without the balcony & there was a side view of the sea!. The room was very large, also the bathroom & very comfortable. We were very warm at night, sleeping was easier with the windows opened & the heavy curtains drawn back.

We were very pleased with all aspects of our recent stay in Guernsey. The room was really nice, even had a choice of pillows, breakfast choices excellent and evening dinner very good.
All staff we dealt with were polite and extremely helpful.
Will certainly stay here again when we next visit.

I have just returned from a wonderful stay here, in order to visit family and do some family history research. St Peter Port is a hilly area- be warned! The Priaulx is right next door, so perfect for me.
The hotel was delightful, the staff extremely helpful , and the food very good. The bed was exceptionally comfortable with wonderful bed linen . Room and bathroom perfect (313). Hot water. Small heated outside pool. Better to change in bedroom and then go down ,as the changing area is very small. Free apples, water and sweets on tap, but don't expect anything in the mini bar!
Would I return? Yes- tomorrow!

Our room was petite with a 'city view' of what we guessed was a hostel? The room was wonderfully decorated and in a bigger room would have been beautiful but in our room the overall feeling was of clutter. We had no room to unpack our own belongings so needed to leave the majority of our belongings inside our suitcase.
The location was also a little disappointing - a bit further away from St Peter Port than we had believed when booking.
However, there were highlights. The pool (heated) was fabulous, the breakfast was terrific and the staff were stars. Our female waitperson at breakfast time was pleasant, efficient and attentive and at reception Sofia and Gaelet were very helpful and great fun.

Location just above St Peters Port is great, its just a short walk down/up. The hotel has an old school feel to it with American art, statues from the Raj and a black and white flooring that makes me think of Art Deco. Lots of stairs up and down to get to the rooms and also in the rooms so maybe not the most wheelchair friendly. Breakfast was very good £16 if not negotiated in the cost. A very quiet and comfortable night.

Just returned from our 3rd stay at The Duke of Richmond and it was wonderful as ever.
The decor is amazing - never seen such a display of elaborate animal print furnishings as those throughout the foyer and restaurant.
Have stayed in 3 different rooms now and each has been very individually decorated and spotlessly clean. Again very elaborate - nothing dull here!
The attention to detail is fantastic. The staff are supremely professional. Whilst I've never dined in the restaurant in the evening the breakfast menu is extensive and nothing too much trouble.

Just spent a night at this great hotel. A little pricey but worth it for this standard of hotel. It was £148 a night, including an amazing breakfast. There was all the usual breakfast items plus a great menu including the full English breakfast plus kippers plus omelette plus haddock plus plus plus. This was not 'or' it was anything you wanted. Delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. An excellent breakfast.
On arrival in the hotel, we were told to help ourselves to lemon juice in a large dispenser in the foyer, so lovely and refreshing and just what I needed after the ferry ride.
Our bedroom was just beautiful, with monogrammed pillows and towels, blue and white padded walls. The bathroom was small but as my husband said, the best quality toilet paper we've ever had at any accommodation anywhere. These things are important.
The staff were all friendly, helpful and pleasant from the staff on the reception desk, to the staff who stored our luggage, to the staff in the dining room.
All in all a really great stay. We would definitely stay again if we ever returned to Guernsey.
