From being welcomed as we arrived by Gwyn, the concierge and the front desk lady, Tatiana, our stay was second to none. The room was a bit on the small side, but afforded easy access to the sun terrace and pool. Apart from that we had a wonderful stay and the restaurant staff, particularly Olga and Carina made sure we were always seated in the conservatory for meals. The staff were very friendly, always had a smile and seemed to enjoy working at this hotel. We particularly liked the reception area and the residents' lounge, although we did not spend much time there! We were there for a week and it rained twice but the hotel even arranged for that to be during the night!
The hotel is situated near Candie Gardens which has a breathtaking view over St. Peter Port Harbour, and in front of the hotel is a lovely quiet park.
Yes, we would recommend the Duke of Richmond,Guernsey.

This Hotel is both stunning and quirky. The common spaces, restaurant, lounge terrace and bar are unique and the rooms provide everything you could need and more. Every single member of staff deserves 'Employee of the Year' although a special mention must be given to Gwyn and Carina. Very slightly spoiled by an inappropriate booking - a stag party of single loud and unpleasant blokes - which meant the pool and terrace became unpleasant for a few days. Our room, 102, had a wonderful sea view, but was very close to the pool and the terrace, beware if you want peace and privacy. On our anniversary we returned to our room to find a bottle of bubbly. The breakfasts are the best I have ever had and the dinner was excellent. All in all a fabulous place to stay.

I stayed here with my sisters for a weekend get away! Beautifully decorated rooms and reception area. The breakfast room is stunning with an amazing clear glass into the kitchen where you can see the chef making your breakfast! I would definetly recommend the pancakes!
I was really impressed with the pool area the hotel had to offer with comfortable lounging chairs and complimentary juices provided! If you are blessed with nice weather like we were, the pool is a lovely area to spend a few hours relaxing.
I look forward to returning!

Stayed here for three nights, really lovely hotel, were shown around the facilities when we arrived which was helpful, the room was lovely, staff were friendly and efficient, breakfast cooked to order and some very nice crusty bread, and fresh orange juice. They also do a turn down service so your room is ready for you at the end of the day, with a chocolate on your pillow. This hotel is up a hill so we walked down and got a cab back.

This was our first visit to Guernsey and our first stay in a red carnation hotel. If we ever return, we would certainly choose this hotel. The decor is 'full on' but it works. We booked a slightly larger room which was great and looked out onto the road and the park opposite. There was a little noise from the road but we probably only noticed this as we visited when the weather was very warm and we had the windows open. The ultra violet light in the bathroom was particularly helpful - particularly for any impromptu visits n the early hours !
As mentioned several times, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and made a point of mentioning your name. Nika on reception was particularly friendly both when I rang the hotel to book our trip and throughout our visit.
We ate in the hotel on all 3 evenings of our stay, partly to avoid the walk back up the hill from the harbour/town and partly because the food was so good. The menu remained the same throughout our stay but was complemented by several new additional specials each evening. On the second evening I wasn't feeling too well and asked for a plain chicken breast which wasn't on the menu apart from as an accompaniment to the cesar salad. The waitress couldn't have been more understanding and the chicken arrived just as I had requested.
Breakfast was excellent and included two fruit smoothies as well as the usual variety of fruit juices. There was always a dish of fresh strawberries as well as a variety of other fresh fruit and the choice of hot food was extensive and the quality very high.
We found Guernsey didn't have a lot of attractions that appealed to us - our fault for not researching more thoroughly and found the constant cool breeze a little annoying by the time we left but St Peter Port is a pretty little place with some nice, quirky shops and lovely buildings. For us, the hotel was the highlight of our stay and we will certainly look up the red carnation hotel group for future breaks.

This is the sort of the 'Little Brother' of the more established Old Government House hotel in St Peter Port. The rooms are styled in a very similar, smart way, beds were comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep the one day we were here. The breakfast is probably the best I've had on the island too.
But what makes this hotel really stand out is its staff - they are incredibly helpful. We arrived very late in the evening, after our flight was delayed and then we had to wait 45 minutes for a taxi at the airport. Not only did they call us to check we were ok (as we hadn't checked in), they kept the kitchen & restaurant open for us, serving us a hot meal as soon as we arrived, with all the attentiveness we'd have expected if we'd been there at a more normal time. The waiter helped us pick an excellent bottle of wine, even ensured the chefs stayed around in case we wanted desert, and were polite & helpful throughout.
I would not hesitate to stay here again.

I had never planned to visit Guernsey nor any other of the Channel Islands but a friends persuaded me to join her on a special trip. Getting there by plane is not the easiest thing but what a pleasant surprise once you reach this beautiful island. Forget about Hawaii and the Canary Islands because its all there at your doorstep. Mind you the weather was absolutly beautiful last week-end but I understand it can be different.
