We enjoyed a delightful 3 night stay recently at "The Duke". As with all Red Carnation hotels, guests are assured of friendly, attentive service from every single member of staff and comfortable rooms. The restaurant menu is varied and the dishes we sampled were delicious. Thank you Gareth and your excellent team!

We can not praise this hotel enough, we stayed for 3 nights for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. All the staff certainly made it memorable for us we were looked after very well. We found all the staff very kind and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Orlando was just a pleasure to have met, great sense of humour and again very kind and friendly. Our room was clean and a good size. Breakfast was very good, and restaurant food was very good too. We would certainly recommend this hotel, if we ever return to Guernsey we would definitely stay here again with no hesitation

We were a small group of six people (3 couples) staying for four nights on a B&B basis. The rooms are small but very comfortable (particularly the beds, linen and towels). Two rooms were on the top (4th) Floor and one on the 1st all had sea views. The restaurant is split into two - one a very large conservatory part and one part more shaded. Choice on offer for breakfast is extensive and very good - with the exception being the coffee - which neither looks or tastes as proper coffee should. The tea is fine. We had a small snack on one occasion which was good. The decor is quirky - heavily influenced by the history of the ownership - plenty of leopard and zebra patterns as well as art deco pieces. So you must be wondering why have we given a 5 star rating? The staff. They provide exceptional service - we have never experienced anything quite like it and we are all seasoned travellers. It is a broad mix of nationalities (26 I think) but they are all friendly, courteous, and genuinely focused on making your stay as enjoyable as possible. The hotel is located within walking distance of the center but is a good climb up or down - so not suitable for everyone - unless you want to use taxis. We strongly recommend this hotel and will be back.

Thoroughly recommend this hotel. We enjoyed superb service throughout our stay. All the hotel staff went that one step more to make sure we received everything we could possibly want. Dinner and wine was excellent each time we ate.

My Wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights and found the Staff the best we have ever encountered. Anita on reception, went the extra mile yo help us with our queries. No matter who was on reception when you came into the hotel, always greeted you with a smile and a kind word. The Staff in the Bar Restaurant did everything they could to make sure you enjoyed your meal, be it in the evening or at breakfast, , Olga, Sarah, Thomas, Josh and I apologise to the other Staff whose names I cannot remember, but it was really everyone. The housekeeping Staff made sure our room was always clean. The food was very good. Our room was on the small side and the shower was oddly placed, this was overshadowed by the cleanliness of the room and the super Staff in the hotel. The hotel is about ten minute walk from the town centre and the Port. Would highly recommend this hotel.

I went to this hotel for Easter, such a wonderful service and lovely food. A very relaxing hotel with staff who are so helpful. I cannot fault my stay at this place and I have already booked for 2020, because I like this hotel and the service so much.

Stayed at the Duke of Richmond for three nights in May and was impressed with the hotel from the minute we arrived. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at and nearly all down to the quality of the staff - friendly, helpful and with the air of caring about their guests. The room itself was quite small but met our needs. Breakfast was superb with a good selection at a buffet as well as a vast cooked to order hot menu. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night during our stay, great food, great service and reasonable price (not budget but not extortionate). Slightly outside of the centre of St Peter Port and for those mobility challenged, a taxi would probably be required as the hotel is up quite a steep hill. Would absolutely recommend the Duke of Richmond and if we were visiting Guernsey again, would be looking to return.

If you are looking for a 4star hotel which is good value for money, look no further.
We stayed for four nights at this wonderful hotel.
We were warmly greeted on arrival and the staff were so helpful throughout our stay.
We stayed in a standard room and it was spotlessly clean and so very comfortable and spacious.
The food in the restaurant was amazing. The breakfast menu was vast and everything we tried was delicious. In the evening, we can thoroughly recommend the rotisserie chicken. The staff in the restaurant worked so hard and everyone was polite and profressional, but a particular mention goes to Olga.
It is a lovely walk through Candie Gardens to the town.
This was our first trip to Guernsey but it will not be our last. We will not need to look for anywhere else to stay!

We had an enjoyable week at the D.O.R. Very comfortable room and staff were professional. Had expected to dine at the hotel more than we did but we found the menu a bit restricted - the food we had was good and there was Limited daily specials. There were several nice restaurants to try in St Peter’s Port but it was a bit of a drag back up the hill in the dark and we didn’t find it easy getting taxis. So, another time, we’d probably choose a hotel in the centre.

We stayed at the Duke of Richmond for 4 nights as a surprise for my husbands 65th birthday. We could not fault it. The staff are excellent and cannot do enough for you (i was in reception 1 day and heard them send out a member of staff to get a guest some nail varnish remover - surely above and beyond what should be expected!). The hotel itself is spotless and looks newly refurbished. There were lots of little touches like 3 jars of sweets left for guests (they went very quickly each day) and a free soft drink in reception. On my husbands birthday they delivered a card - signed by most of the team and a selection of small cakes. There is a quiet lounge as well as bar and restaurant and a glorious terrace (which was a great sun trap). It was too cold to use the pool but it looked very nice.
Breakfast was very good - with a good selection of cooked options as well as the continental options. The bar snacks are huge so we would share a steak baguette at lunchtime - it came with lovely fries so was more than enough for 2. The cream teas looked amazing but enormous.
Our room was a standard one but very nice with everything (including robe and slippers) that you could want and a nice fruit platter as a welcome gift.
The only word of caution I would give is that it is quite a steep climb up from St Peter Port - we walked in and back every day and in again in the evening but got a taxi back after our meal. The taxi's were quite reasonable - we got one from the taxi rank on the seafront and it was under £5 - it was a little more when they picked us up from a restaurant (£6 to £8). It was not a problem for us (and we are no spring chickens) but if you have a serious mobility problem and do not want to get a lot of taxis, I would contact the hotel (they are very helpful) to see what other options there are - I'm sure there are some but we did not ask.
We would definately stay here again if we go back to St Peter Port.
