This hotel was booked for my by a colleague, so I didn't know anything (even the name) until we arrived.
The lobby is exquisitely decorated with displays of afternoon tea. Whilst the stairs are a bit excessive, it just adds to the charm of the hotel.
The rooms were a good size and the bathroom very modern and clean. I only wish I'd had more time to spend in the very comfortable bed.
For a first visit to Guernsey, this hotel was a very positive experience, with very friendly staff and very good food - the new winter menu had just been released and was a perfect selection.

Stayed overnight visiting from neighbouring Sark. A minor misunderstanding meant that there was no taxi on my arrival at the Sark quay, but this was swiftly rectified. From then on, my stay was faultless. Reception staff were superb. I was escorted to my room and given a full run-down on the facilities. I had requested a room with a walk-in shower. In the event, my room was very small, but had an extremely comfortable Queen bed and a great rain shower. The room was quiet and I slept well. Dinner was great, and I will review the restaurant separately. I had a lovely snack before leaving the hotel the following day. I wanted to return to the hotel in a few weeks, but as the hotel will be closed for refurbishments I have been booked into their sister hotel - a five star property - at a very reasonable rate. The General Manager is very much "hands on". I saw him three times in twenty-four hours, including an occasion when I asked for advice about operating the in-room air-conditioning. This is a lovely hotel, and I look forward to returning.

We stayed at the end of November/beginning of December to celebrate a milestone birthday for my wife. From the moment we arrived we were well looked after. The food is excellent with a good choice. Breakfast is particularly good and well worth taking your time over. The atmosphere in the hotel is relaxed, staff are very polite and efficient and certainly make you feel more than welcome. We prefer the Duke of Richmond to the OGH. Birthday celebration was wonderful culminating with a sweets plate and card left in the room whilst we were at dinner. We also sampled afternoon tea, which again was excellent, our advice would be not to arrange a meal anywhere on the night after, it really is satisfying and filling, just have a light supper. All in all a memorable occasion for the right reason.

This hotel is a good base . It's a ten minute walk to town, and although on a hill a taxi up is only five pounds if you don't fancy the walk back . There's a small corner shop just down the road and parks nearby. The position is very peaceful . The basic rooms are small but are mainly well decorated . Rooms were cleaned daily and they also offer a turn down service. The staff were friendly and the restaurant is obviously a big hit with locals too. Communication before we arrived was also very efficient. Overall we felt this was a pleasant hotel that I would go back to.

We spent a week here in May last year. The hotel was well above what I would have
expected for the price.. The rooms, decor etc were all first class and the restaurant was not only excellent but inexpensive. Great value for money. Staff all very helpful and accommodating.

Stylish hotel, beautiful rooms and such welcoming staff make this hotel a must to visit. Special thanks to Aaron who always goes the extra mile for us. The afternoon tea is delicious and a real treat you shouldn't miss.

I used to work at this hotel many years ago- since them its been upgraded and is first class- ideal for people on business its near the park and beau sejour centre where there are sports facilities and attractions. Also near Candie Gardens ( one minute walk) which is a place to visit.

The Duke of Richmond has capacity to hold huge functions, with enough room for a bar area, dancing and plenty of tables.
The downside is that what they have in atmosphere, they lack in catering. Admittedly, there were a lot of guests when I visited, but I tend to be of the view that if you can't cater well (both in terms of food quality and efficiency) for large groups, don't do it.
Otherwise a lovely place, smart and friendly.

Stayed here again twice within the space of a week. This time, I decided to splash out and have a Junior Suite! My accommodation was absolutely superb - I could gladly live in that suite. The walk-in shower was absolutely fantastic - quite the best shower that I have ever experienced anywhere. The in room air conditioning was efficient and fairly quiet, too. The staff were all absolutely wonderful - The two Laurens, Aaron, Homa, and Olga being just a few of those who thoroughly spoiled me. Housekeeping was of an incredibly high standard, and preferences from previous visits were noted. I shall have no hesitation in returning to the Duke of Richmond on my next overnight visit to Guernsey. My ever grateful thanks to all concerned.

Booked for 5 people and we greeted by friendly but professional staff. The waiter was very informative on the tea selection and bought various jars across for us to smell the teas. Sandwiches are delicious and you can choose your own flavours off the menu. Smoked Salmon, Roast Beef, mini pastries. 2 home made scones plain and fruit per person with jam and double cream. The cake selection looked lovely, but was too full to taste any. Hotel provided cake boxes to take home anything we wished to take. If you want a treat in beautiful art deco surroundings then this is the place for you.
