In October 2014, Dan C said about Duke of Richmond Hotel
The Duke of Richmond Hotel was an unknown to us prior to our trip there in October 2014. We found it to be an excellent hotel with spacious and well appointed rooms, a very attentive front office staff and a great housekeeping staff. The bonus was the restaurant which had great choices, fabulous food for very reasonable prices, and as good a wait staff as you will ever find.
We went to Guernsey for a special trip for our Dad who is 94 years old. His Mom and Dad were born and met there and we visited the Candie Gardens Bandstand where they first met in the early 1900s. History in the library was very exciting. All these places were a stone's throw from the exquisite Duke of Richmond Hotel.

We arrived very early to make the most of a long weekend away and did not expect to be able to check in, however Becky on the front desk managed to get the room organised for us while we were at breakfast! We didn't eat in the hotel unfortunately for dinner but all the breakfast staff were really helpful and the food was great, a special mention for Orlando who kindly set a table up outside for us as it was a lovely sunny day. A massive thank you to all the front of house staff including Becky, Simona and also Joe scott who organised a lovely happy birthday plate and card for me. We can't wait to come back next summer!

Had a fantastic stay at The Duke of Richmand in late September, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the hotel is beautifully decorated and our room was particularly spectacular with its monochromatic design. Also the best hotel breakfast I have ever had! I would 100% stay here again.

No task was too small for the staff, at every level. They made our stay special whether it was the quality of the room; cleanliness; hospitality; range and quality of the food; service or the special provision on Halloween!

Perfect location for our 3 night break. The staff gave us 100% attention throughout our stay. Special praise to Olga and Katherine in the restaurant. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable. We spent an idyllic day on Sark cycling the island, a must for anyone visiting Guernesey.

This is a lovely hotel and in a very convenient location. The staff are all friendly and attentive. We paid extra for a room with sea view, Room 200, and what a beautiful view we had, straight out over the bay. Lovely clean en-suite with nice toiletries and fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers too. The queen sized bed was one of the most comfy we have ever slept in. The full English breakfast was comprehensive; 9 different items or a choice of any of them. Eggs could be poached, fried, scrambled, or boiled. Added to that options of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, kippers or a range of continental meats, cheeses etc along with the usual toasts, breads, tea or coffee. Again nothing was too much trouble for the staff and not long to wait for the food either. We only ate dinner in the restaurant once but again very slick service and excellent food. Mention must go to Oliver, Olga, Gabriella and Katherine but to be fair everyone we came across had the same high standard and professional approach to customer care.
St Peters Port is hilly and the trek up from the town to the hotel can be tiring after a long day. We had three taxis at various times and paid between £4.60 and £6.00. Well worth it. Check out is before 11.00am but as we had a late flight we could leave our cases with the concierge. So helpful. We had a day trip to Sark, £27 each return and well worth it and Herm was £12.50 return each; so beautiful and peaceful. Get a bus timetable from the terminus and travel by bus, only £1 each trip. The bus drivers are friendly and helpful too.
We stayed five nights at the Duke and in our opinion would rate it 5*, we are definitely going to return soon.

We stayed one night at this hotel which was enough for us. Our room was tiny (cat not provided) and the decor was interesting to say the least. You will either love or hate this hotel we came down on the side of not sure.
Positives are, comfortable bed, good breakfast.
Negative dinner very poor for a 4 star hotel more pub grub than fine dinning

Very glad we picked this hotel. The interior is nice, quirky, stylish. The staff are the best thing here - all so friendly and helpful.
We were out and about each day and returned to use the pool but had clouded over each time. But it was warm enough to swim in.
Used the restaurant on one night - a bit pricey for what you get. Room service another night and eat out the final night.
Booked a superior room with seaview - great.
Recommend Southern coastal path and day trip to Herm. Buses good and cheap with single tickets.

Our family all stayed at the hotel over the August bank Holiday week-end to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. The staff were fantastic - Hilario had organised a private room for our celebration dinner which was excellent. The room looked amazing and the attention to detail was just brilliant - service was discreet but effective - nothing was too much trouble!
The whole week-end was very memorable - thank you DOR for making it such a special occasion for us.
