The staff are a credit to the hotel, very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is nice, although the rooms are pretty small. Other than that a great option when staying in Guernsey close to St Peter Port.

This hotel never fails to impress me with their level of customer care and service. I stay here on a regular basis for business and nothing is ever too much trouble from the moment I arrive through to departure.
The hotel is within walking distance of St Peter Port, has undergone a transformation in recent years under new ownership and a huge investment in the hotel. The bedrooms vary in size and shape due to this being a relatively old building in fact several adjoining buildings which gives it character but in a very positive way. The rooms and bathrooms are all are immaculate and furnished to a very high standard with everything that you could need and more. Some rooms have distant sea views which is nice.
A good restaurant, bar and outside area.
A great hotel to return to with special mention of Aaron on reception/front desk who always has a smile and a positive outlook on everything.

We stayed for 4 nights in this excellent hotel. Our room, on the third floor, overlooking the harbor of St. Peter Port was terrific. A comfortable bed, spacious room and a view. The staff were always pleasant and helpful and the bar staff and Maitre De in the dining room a warm and professional leader of a great team. The food in the dining room is first class and we ate breakfast and dinner here, happily, every day. The location is a short, downhill walk, into the main part of town and the busy port. Walking around St.Peter Port is easy but it's hilly so one way is a breeze and the other more of a work out. We recommend this excellent hotel to you all.

The service from all staff was excellent. food good the booze was a bit pricey.
Room excellent. Very quiet due to padded walls which was an interesting feature. View
across bay to Sark excellent. the Beds were superb so much so we tried to buy the set on return but found it was wholesale only. Location on the map was close to the prom. but is a £7.50 taxi ride back. Due to hills and one way systems. It is about 20 Mins downhill to town. Not a hotel for the unfit!!

My husband and I recently returned to the hotel for a second time. We live on the island of Jersey and often pop across to Guernsey on our boat. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. There are lots of little touches that make the difference...juice freely available at Reception, bottles of water and towels by the entrance for those going for a jog or walk, jars of sweeties by the restaurant. Room was comfortable and the air conditioning was good to have during the heatwave.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and as it was a 3 for 2 offer it was exceptional value. The room was excellent considering it wasn't classed as a suite but still had a small sofa and arm chairs. The real bonus with the hotel though was the dinning room and bar staff. Super smooth, super efficient, helpful but not "in your face". Pretty much perfect for our requirements.

My wife and I travelled to Guernsey for our daughters wedding. It was our first time in the Channel Islands, and boy, did we enjoy it. The hotel organised a taxi from (and back to) the airport for us, which is approximately 20 minutes away. We arrived at the hotel, and from that point to our departure 5 days later, the staff couldn't have been more attentive or helpful, from the concierge staff to the housekeepers. The majority of the staff are probably in their early twenties and there are many nationalities working front of house with great English. The room we stayed in (117) was immaculate, it was so clean, we've been disappointed with the general cleanliness of previous hotels we stayed in, but not the Duke of Richmond. This room also has a large south facing balcony ideal for sunbathing and outside drinks. The restaurant serves really nice, fresh and tasty food, again we couldn't fault the service, the staff or the hygiene of the restaurant. We enjoyed our stay there so much that before it was time to pack and leave, we had already decided to return. This simply is the most immaculate hotel that we have ever stayed in and the best professional service that we have ever received.

We stayed 3 days for an Anniversary in July. The king,sea view room was large and beautifully furnished with a small balcony. The bathroom although conventionally laid out with shower over bath worked brilliantly - purple lighting perhaps not to everyone's taste?
All the hotel information stresses the quality and friendliness of the hotel and its staff. This does of course set them up to fail on occasions eg flowers delivered to the room but not in water /vase or any alternative - this had to be requested twice before they revived! Tea arrived on several occasions without milk and again had to be requested.
Breakfast out side on the terrace was a special treat, the food was also excellent - otherwise we did not eat in the hotel.We had stayed at this hotel previously, so the location was known to us ie on the edge of town and up a steep hill and might be an issue for some.The views however are beautiful!

This has to be the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Beautifully appointed rooms fantastic food and wonderful staff. We stayed for a short break with our little doggy and we treated like royalty as well. Cannot fault the attention to detail and this is a real hidden gem in Guernsey. Can't wait to go back and neither can our doggy!!

My time at Duke of Richmond in Guernsey was great. From the moment I arrival till the time I left. Communications from the Reception staff was excellent. Both Aron and Sophie provided excellent service towards my partner and myself. There other staff I met during my stay both at the front desk and restaurant, we were well informed and the care was really show. So thanks for making my stay at your establishment a memorable one.
