We visited the duke of Richmond hotel Valentine's weekend, The hotel had been closed for a refit and the first day it opened we happened to stay . Unfortunately the heating was not working in the rooms and it was freezing. The hotel reception staff were very apologetic and I guess it was something that couldn't be helped. In the end the heating was fixed.
Breakfast was good and if you get the right seats you can see over the bay. We also had one of the afternoon teas that came with sandwiches and cake which was very nice. Also there is a little veranda that you can sit out on but unfortunately the weather wasn't very nice so we didn't get a chance.
I ordered room service but because I was slightly late had to go down to the restaurant and pay for the food which kind of defeats the object of ordering room service. I asked if cheese could be added to something I'd ordered and they said they could but it arrived with out the cheese.
The room was clean and had all the bits you would expect from an above average hotel.
the hotel was decorated in a kind of 1920s style theme which I liked.
The food is meant to be very good in the restaurant and it was fully booked so that is normally a good sign. Unfortunately because of this we didn't get to try out the dinner menu.
Altogether a good stay, just unfortunate that the heating wasn't working and the room service didn't quite go to plan otherwise I would of given a 5. I would stay again.

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Customer service throughout our stay was of the highest standard. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean being well maintained and serviced.
Breakfast was a delight and the evening meals well cooked, superbly presented and excellent value. The professionalism and smartness of appearance of staff again was high. There are many establishments that should aspire to match the operation of "The Duke Of Richmond"

The hotel is very welcoming and the standard of service very high. Staff are attentive but not intrusive. Cleanliness is excellent. The breakfasts are huge and the chef is willing to cater for individual needs. we had two evening meals both of an excellent standard, the crab starter that I enjoyed was truly magnificent. We had a room with a sea view which unusually had two chairs so we were able to sit and read. The terrace was a delightful spot for relaxing in the sunshine. we were touched that staff had noticed it was our anniversary and sent us a card and a food gift. I would recommend this hotel highly. Be aware that there is a steep hill to the hotel but it is worth the climb! Taxis are willing to take you back from the seafront to the hotel.

This is one of our most favourite places to stay, it's great decor, fabulous rooms and even great views to top!
The Duke of Richmond is situated just a short stroll to the town of St Peter Port and right beside Candie Museum and gardens. It's a four star hotel with five star service and a five star heart! Nothing is too much for the staff who all work hard in making everyone's stay a memorable one.
We travelled as a family with a dog and booked a suite. The views over St Peter Port were breathtaking as was the room itself. A comfy bed along with lovely touches such as biscuits, clipper tea, fresh coffee and sweets.
The dog was treated just as well with her own bed, bowl and certificate to say she had stayed with them. They also make up special door handle tags to let people know there is a dog in the room. Our dog is a small service dog so has to travel with us, but this Hotel is very pet friendly.
The staff go out of their way to help in any way they can, such as Aaron who took care of me when I suffered a migraine on our first day as soon as he heard about it, he bought to the room, Iced water, napkins and ice for my headache. The reception staff made us feel warmly welcomed.
The restaurant is great along with a fabulous bar called the leopard bar. Breakfasts are amazing with items such as smoked salmon, kippers and beautiful freshly made eggs. You don't get just three choices of juice but many, from pineapple, cranberry, pomegranate, banana and strawberry smoothies. If I could live here I would!
My extreme thanks to all the staff, both in reception, housekeeping and the restaurant, to stay here means you have sampled amazing Guernsey hospitality from the islands best staff. Will I be back with our family? YES!

A really lovely hotel, with superb food. Breakfast was plentiful and if you choose to have an evening meal it was of a very high standard. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Aaron who couldn't do enough for us. We upgraded to a suite after our first night as found the standard room to be on the small side. The suite had everything that we could have asked for. Hairdryer, iron, fluffy towels, robes, slippers, even down to stationery in the desk drawer and the little easter eggs left on our bed were a nice touch. We will definitely visit again.

I booked The Duke of Richmond on the back of previous Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. Situated high above St Peter Port it was a tranquil haven and ideal base for our island adventures. A quirky, opulent, well appointed hotel with a leopard theme and extensive mix of sculptures & art work which added a surreal feel. Staff friendly and the Birthday cards and sweet treats a nice touch. Breakfasts were delicious (see pictures) and there were Gluten Free options on request. The hotel does a courtesy call prior to your stay and arranged taxi transfers for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break and would highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is in a great position near Victoria Park, Museum of Guernsey and the German Naval transmission base It’s a good steep walk from the Port, but taxis are pretty frequent. Our room was lovely and spacious and the bed very comfortable. I would have liked a flexible hose shower in the bathroom. The hand hold on the wall was loose and I mentioned it, so it was fixed quickly. I also had to ask for hand soap as gel doesn’t really cut it for me.
Breakfast provided a good range of foods to suit most tastes. The cooked breakfasts I had were lovely. Some excellent smoothies and healthy options. I took advantage of their swimming pool which was open until 8pm. I didn’t particularly like the zebra skin chairs in the room by reception as I disagree with trophy hunting. I did like the suit of armour by the lift. The views from the terrace were lovely and you could see down to St Peters Port. The hotel has a good variety of events during the year, and we were able to watch a bit of Wimbledon Tennis on the terrace. I would stay here again

I was absolutely blown away by the reception I received from this hotel.
I went to my room and there was a lovely card welcoming me and a bottle of red wine.
Helen duty manager she was absolutely phenomenal she came and helped me with the Aircon as I was on able to set it nothing was too big or too small for her and she chatted to me like she knew me three years.
I went to the restaurant to have my evening meal and I was greeted by an amazing lady called Sarah Linton she was so professional so warming & welcoming and her team worked amazingly well this is a place that I will keep close and will remember to visit again. This hotel gets my top rating it is absolutely superb.
The turndown service is absolutely great I came back to find lovely chocolate’s on my bed waiting for me and everything that I’d used was replenished thank you for your kindness. 👍👍👍
