2 nights in May - absolutely excellent. The staff were great, some really nice touches. When we went out for a morning run we came back to bottles of water and towels set out "for runners and walkers". Lovely room, breakfast very good, everything we needed laid on, everyone was very kind to us. Will go back.

With friends, we planned an England trip around a wedding on the Channel Island of Guernsey. We had no idea where to stay, but the happy couple suggested the Duke of Richmond Hotel. After some research, we decided to go for it. What a wonderful choice! Sumptuous rooms and wonderful amenities (including breakfast) for a very reasonable price. Delightful food, a great bar and stunning pool. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. And the property is absolutely close to everything. Although it has a pretty primitive work out facility, they have a sister property with a wonderful spa and day privileges at a local gym, so it's all good. If you plan a trip to Guernsey, this is the place to stay. If you never thought about Guernsey, think about it. A truly stunning setting to relax, with charm, quiet times and an incredible history. I plan to go back.

First visit to Guernsey, disappointing weather and much messing with delayed ferry services etc etc. So - thank goodness for the Duke of Richmond Hotel! The staff, the accommodation, the food (in particular, breakfast to die for) - everything about the place was designed to give us a luxurious and relaxing stay. Don't be put off by the somewhat uninspiring frontage of the hotel; inside, where it matters, it is a delightful place to spend a few days. If ever we go back to Guernsey, this is where we will stay.

The first reason I chose was because I saw it's dog friendly and I wanted to visit it with my best friend Izo (small shihtzu dog).
Even before arriving the hotel, I could feel that our stay at The Duke of Richmond hotel is going to be one of those unique stays that we will probably remember for long time.
After booking we got email with our special request for the room and for my dog (bed, treats, food, bags, etc).
The ride from London to Weymouth was not easy (long!) and then ferry to Guernsey. The hotel is located few minutes by car from the ferry area..
When we entered the hotel the receptionist were very happy to see us (not fake ones as many other hotels) and within few seconds they remembered all our names (I was with my 2 friends and their dog as well).
They treated Izo (my dog) as he was one of the guests in the hotel (took picture of him and created door sign for him). And explained us about the hotel and the Island.
The room was very big, comfortable and got everything needed. Bed was so welcoming that I didn't want to leave it in the mornings.
Breakfast was divine and memorable and was tailored for everyone's taste (i would only add variety of cheese to make it Perfect).
During all stay the entire staff were very friendly (how do they manage to have so many happy employees?!) and we felt so welcomed there.
Outside of the hotel there's a big park (cambridge park) where I could walk with Izo in the morning.
On my titles I mentioned personalized because it felt that they thought of every little detail to make the stay very pleasant so we felt that we get amazing return for our money.
If you ever thinking of going to Guernsey, there's not doubt that your desicion should be The Duke Of Richmond Hotel which is now place on my top 5 worldwide hotels. (I wish i could duplicated this hotel and staff to a warmer place which was the only thing that was annoying on our stay- the weather).

In May 2014, Tony B said about Duke of Richmond Hotel
We stayed two nights as a part of a tour.
The room was a reasonable size and was clean, tasteful and comfortable. It contained a large bed, two chairs and coffee table as well as two small desks.
The bathroom is a reasonable size and has a combined shower and bath.
The staff were very helpful and pleasant to deal with.
The hotel is in a reasonable location in St. Peters port and a short walk to Candie Gardens, the museum, Victoria Tower and not far from the Centre of town and the water front.

The room, the attention to detail and the whole hotel was amazing, and the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. And tea at the Old Government House Hotel, the other hotel of the Red Carnation Group is a must!

Me, my wife and our 2 year old had a fantastic little break at this lovely hotel. We had a huge room with a king size bed, and they knew we were with a baby and provided a cotbed aswell. The food was excellent, our baby was very fussy at breakfast and sfaff offered different options of breakfast for our baby. A big Thank you to Nuria who was so attentive to our baby boy. We will stay there again if we visit Guernsey.

When we arrived the receptionist gave us a very warm welcome, she give us our room key and said that if we would like to upgrade we could do so. As we were visiting relatives they also accompanied us to our room which was first class but not big enough so we asked to look at other rooms, this was no problem as the young man who had brought are bags went off and returned with 3 room keys, he took us to the rooms and we decided to take room 212 which was big and well presented. During our 4 day stay the staff throughout the hotel were excellent nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our breakfast with plenty to choose from (hot and Cold). We also invited our relatives back to the hotel for a evening meal the night before we were due to leave and everyone praised the staff. The menu had a full selection of food, Fish Steak etc- the Lamb and Lemon soul were fantastic. When we go back to Guernsey again we will defiantly stay in this hotel

I stayed here overnight on a business trip and all told it was very good with just one or two details letting it down for me.
The staff at the hotel were excellent, very welcoming, friendly and attentive and you'd could tell that they knew some of the regular guests well.
The room was nice enough although the bathroom a bit on the small side. There was a good selection of TV channels and free wifi with a code you get on the card when you check in.
The odd things about this hotel is that it has some really nice little quirks, jars of sweets in the public areas that you can help yourself too, there's a robe and slippers in the room to use and a good selection of toiletries. Then some small details that just seem out of character, like instant Nescafé coffee in the room, truly awful, an over bath shower that was not all that great, no iron or ironing board, you have to ask for one and then probably the smallest towels I have found in all the hotels I've stayed in!, Think a super max hand towel! Strange really given that it does so many other things so well.
Would I stay here again? Yes, but I'd take my own coffee and probably a towel too!
