Genuinely friendly and super-helpful staff. They don't just make you feel that they care; I believe they really do. The hotel is spotlessly clean throughout. The food is superbly cooked and presented and there is a warm and welcoming bar with a good range of drinks. A gem of an hotel in the beautiful island of Guernsey.
We visited for a weekend break and were very lucky with the weather; two lovely sunny days. This enabled us to breakfast on the terrace on the Sunday morning; wonderful.
If you feel the need to leave the hotel, it is a short walk outside of town which avoids the high street noise (such that it is); downhill on the way in but a bit of a climb coming back but taxis are readily available and inexpensive.
I cannot recommend this hotel strongly enough.

From arrival to departure seven days later every effort was made to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Wonderful rooms with everything you may wish in a hotel room.
All staff always pleasant and polite and they always look like they meant it.

Stayed on the 4th floor in room 500 and despite the unusual 1980s inspired decor, the food was great but most of all the service is the best I have ever experienced. They flexed the service to the customer and treated them as individuals. The teams really seemed to get on well together and were polite and happy in working with each other. I was very impressed.

We have recently returned from our ‘home away from home’ in Guernsey where the staff welcome you back as you arrive in the taxi. You are treated as returning friends by all the staff from the receptionist to the Hotel Manager.
The room, food and service, as per our previous visit, were superb and if there is a problem they go out of their way to find out what went wrong so they can ensure that it does not happen again.
We noticed that a number of guests in the restaurant were not hotel residents but locals which is a good sign and supports the rule of going where the locals go. We suggest that you look out for the specials board which tends to feature locally caught fish and meat from the islands. The chefs go out of their way to produce delicious meals but if you want a variation of a meal on the menu they will do their best to accommodate it. I especially liked the Tiger Prawns Linguini and my wife thought the Rib Eye steak was excellent.
If you want to know more about the island or for ideas regarding places to visit we suggest you talk to the concierge, such as Aaron who is a local.
We have stayed in a variety of luxury hotels around the world and the Duke of Richmond is by far our favourite hotel. What a good find we have made.
We are already planning our next visit which unfortunately will have to wait until early next summer.

For the weekend to visit relations, we enjoyed an exceptional level of welcome with genuine friendliness, helpfulness and efficiency from every member of staff we encountered, We had a standard double which, although small in dimensions, was tastefully decorated and furnished with a large and comfortable bed and everything was clean and worked. Roof terrace, conservatory dining room were all good and the breakfasts excellent. Location was good but St. Peter Port is hilly so be prepared when exploring the waterfront, shops, etc.

We have visited many hotels during our travels around the world but I can honestly say, the Duke of Richmond is the only Hotel we leave with a tear in our eye and a lump in our throat. It's like saying Goodbye to your family.

Hotel was central to St Peter's Port yet quietly situated away from heavy traffic. Room was immaculately clean and views to the sea made it even more special. Staff at the hotel, front of house and in the dining room, couldn't have been more helpful. Food at breakfast and in the restaurant first class.

I took my mother for a five day break, having not been to Guernsey for over 20 years. Hotel was perfectly located. Staff very friendly and rooms very good. Had several meals in restaurant all of which were delicious! On one evening there was an event in the restaurant which we had not been told about and we were unable to eat there, however we were offered room service. We did not want to eat in our rooms so sat in a small lunge area in hotel. Staff went out of their way to make sure everything was okay and we were happy and comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend and would definitely go back.
