We stayed at the Duke of Richmond for four nights on the "4 nights for the price of 3" tariff during the second week of August. I travelled with my husband and grown up family for a short summer holiday and the entire hotel made us extremely welcome. We had a king room and a twin room. They were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. EVERYTHING was perfect.
Our funny memories will be our daughter asking for bananas, and our son having two breakfasts and we mustn't forget the tweets with DOR!!
Special mention must go to Lukas, Olga and Orlando. Your service, friendliness and attention to detail made our visit that much more special. THANK YOU! We will return very soon and look forward to meeting you all again.

Just got back from a 4 night stay at The Duke of Richmond Hotel and have had an excellent break. The hotel is furnished to a high standard and is kept spotlessly clean. As with other Red Carnation hotels we have visited the staff are extremely attentive and do their very best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We were travelling with our 9 year old daughter who was made to feel extremely special with her favourite drink purchased specially and brought to her room, a chefs hat and cupcake decorating session and despite the cool weather she was able to enjoy the pool which is heated. Breakfast is excellent and we enjoyed a very good evening meal. The hotel is well located just a 10-15 minute walk from the harbour front at St Peters Port and there is so much to do without the need for hiring a car. Highly recommended and will be booking again soon!

My wife, Penny and myself have just returned from a 5 day stay at the Duke of Richmond, and had an excellent experience. Our first impression was one of a really comfortable hotel with very attentive staff. Nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff on reception. On top of this, the bar and restaurant staff were exceptional. Cocktail waiters Alex and Paul were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The two restaurant managers Linda and Chilla (I think) couldn't have been friendlier, but also exceptionally professional. We had a lovely stay. Thank you.

I had been recommended this hotel by a friend who stayed last year. The photos drew me in if nothing else! The opulent 1920s style decor in black & white and leopard prints as you enter the hotel. Staff are incredibly welcoming and will do all they can to ensure you have a pleasant stay. The guest rooms are opulent in furnishings and every need catered for. Yes, it is uphill and a good walk into town but only a few mins by taxi. I would highly recommend this hotel and I sincerely thank all staff for a very pleasant stay

I very much enjoyed my 4 night visit here. The staff are splendid, especially in the Leopard Restaurant, led by Olga, who is extremely professional, and an excellent host. The restaurant itself is a splendidly bright and spacious area. Breakfast is wonderful! I became quite addicted to the fantastic omelettes . Judging from the fire escape map, the rooms are rather small for a four-star hotel, many far smaller than mine (which was not large). I needed to wear an extra layer in my room : the heating was pretty unreliable, and adjusting the dial (which bore no resemblance to the pictures in the guest manual) made little difference at the top end. Being autumn, I did not try the cooler end - the room was notionally air-conditioned. Keeping the bathroom door open allowed in heat from the towel-rail and under-floor heating. Keeping the thick curtains closed helped too - but blotted out the lovely sea view!! Package deals good value, but not sure I'd want to pay rack-rate prices. In summary, a nice hotel with a dedicated staff, and, judging by breakfast, an excellent restaurant.

We have stayed in St Peter Port previously and have stayed at the Duke of Richmond whilst on business albeit several years ago. However, we were delighted with changes that the (new) owners have made and with the ethos of the whole staff who were happy to help and always with a smile. We shall certainly be back.

In May 2014, Tiffen said about Old Government House Hotel & Spa
There was a slight mix up at the original hotel we were booked into so I was a little stressed when we arrived at this hotel for one night. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel relaxed and at home - nothing was a problem. Our room was front facing and was neat and very nicely decorated. Water was provided as was a turn down service. What a comfy bed we had also! Dinner was very nice and we stopped in the delightfully furnished lounge area for a drink before heading back the the room for bed. I must admit I don't like a shower over a bath but it seems many hotels still hold onto it - do yourself a favour and ditch them unless customers want to pay for a bath. Think of the saving on your water bill.
The hotel in smack in the centre of town. Their is valet service of you have driven.
Great hotel, great service - well done.

This is what all hotels should be like! The staff are very helpful and there little extras dotted around that you don't notice until you have been there a few days. It is ideally located and the food excellent. BUT you pay for what you get. Could be a little strained if full I guess but it wasn't when we were staying. I would stay again - once I have saved up enough cash.

The hotel has an excellent central location and the welcome is warm and genuine. Almost every member of staff seems to have the guests' comfort and convenience as his or her priority. Ask and you will receive - with a smile! My wife and I enjoyed our short stay.

We just stayed for one night but the Hotel is really beautiful, our room had a balcony and was overlooking the sea, really spacious with lovely bathroom. The staff are really fantastic at this hotel, nothing is too much trouble and their customer service is amazing. I had a minor issue with one of our courses for our evening meal and it was dealt with superbly with mimimum fuss. When we checked out we were given handmade flapjacks for our journey home, I thought that was a really nice gesture. We look forward to coming back very soon!
