Lovely restaurant in a lovely part of the island. Also good for families.
Service is polite but at times a little bit slow.
Would still recommend!

Stayed for a special birthday weekend. Asked for a nice room for a celebration, but not really expecting to get any preferential treatment. Were delighted that our request had been granted with a lovely room with superb views over the gardens and harbour. The staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful, and although we only ate breakfast in the hotel the food was first class and nothing was too much trouble. Would certainly go back

I went to Guernsey from London for short business trip with one of my colleague. We asked the HR girl to book a good hotel for us and she booked Duke of Richmond for us. We had very good stay at this hotel. The rooms were cosy and comfortable.
The food was also very good including the breakfast which was included in the price. It has got wide variety of breakfast items and also service for hot breakfast e.g. toasts, omelette, fish and chips etc.
It was situated slight over the top of hill and walking to the hotel from the city centre was little tiring but we enjoyed the walk.

This was the fourteenth time we've holidayed on the island of Guernsey. We've stayed at 7 different hotels and discovered the Dof R only last year. Had we stayed there first we
probably would have stayed 14 times. The food once again was superb and the service
in the restaurant was again perfect even without the excellant Olga who chose to holiday in the UK as soon as we arrived. The staff were always pleasant and there were many familiar faces from last year which I believe suggests a good hotel. We did have a minor problem but it could not have been handled better than it was by Reception. And it was minor compared with our difficulty in getting home thro' volcano ash! I'm sure we'll be back

The location is good for the town, the rooms are very good standard and the food is excellent and tremendous value. We had all our evening meals in the hotel and the chef is to be commended.

I have stayed many times at this hotel and is one of the better Island
hotels and have found the hotel very comfortable and efficient! really nice size hotel
not to small or to large.
Its in an excellent position however it is a small pleasant walk in to St Peter Port Town.
Some rooms are refurbished on park side and Sea View side the other
cheaper rooms are clean and comfortable.
I would recommend a refurbished room and the hotel is relaxing.
I will be returning in September!

The Duke of Richmond Hotel is arguably the best hotel on the island, the staff work there socks off to make your stay with them is perfect. The food at the Duke of Richmond is of outstanding the quality and value. At the Front Desk they are so helpful, although language can be a problem sometimes. Room service can be a little slow in the mornings, I placed my breakfast order for 9:00 AM and it wasn’t delivered until 9:50PM, but admittedly the hotel was fully booked for the duration of our stay.
Moving on to the facilities the Duke of Richmond provides they are excellent, they have a Business Centre which is open daily from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM. The Hotel has 5 allocated parking spaces opposite the hotel main entrance. They also have a Cocktail Bar, located opposite the main elevator, with light meals being served at lunch and dinner. If you require any laundry to be cleaned just ask at reception and it will usually be returned to you on the same day. They also have a residents lounge with a small selection of books, traditional board games, or if you just want to relax. They also have the award winning Cambridge Restaurant, if you would like to dine there; I would suggest you make a reservation, due to it being so busy all the time. They also have an outdoor swimming pool open each day from 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM, from Easter to October. Televisions in the rooms offer a good selection of channels, including satellite and Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. They have rooms to suit everybody and every budget, and excellent rooms. They have had one whole section of the Hotel Rooms refurbished which I have to say outstanding. They also offer very good rooms which you can see Jersey on a clear day.
The Hotel is Child Friendly I know this 100% because, I am a Child. And all the staff will always help you with anything. When I used to come to Guernsey I stayed with my Grandparents at the OGH, and I can see after many years of coming to Guernsey why we changed hotel.
So if you’re coming to Guernsey for whatever reason I strongly recommend you stay at the Duke of Richmond Hotel.

All of the staff were very effiicient and friendly, and the hotel provided all-round excellent service. Our room with sea view was very comfortable and refurbished to a good standard. The breakfast was very good and the table d'hote menu on the evening we dined in was excellent and very good value. A fair walk uphill from St Peter Port but situated in a nice area by Candie Gardens. The outdoor pool is pleasantly warm enough to use. Would definately stay here again if visiting Guernsey.

just a short walk from st peter port and next door to candie gardens, the room was large with plenty of space for clothes.
bathroom was new, bright clean and all accerories replaced whenever they were needed to.
maids even came round during the day / evening to replace coffee tea etc, the breakfasts were superb with boxed cereals, not in a dsh, plenty of fresh fruit and you could order your cooked breakfast rather than it being on a buffet but a really good menu to order from.
good food from the restaurant in the evening, and a really nice bar area which is decked out in the style of a 18th century ship ! quirky but really cosy, this was part of our honeymoon and all in all we had a really good stay here, our next week was spent at the pomme dor in jersey which was more expensive and not as good

My sister and I stayed at The Duke of Richmond Hotel. The hotel was spotless, the food was excellent but most of all the staff couldn't do enough for us. The bar staff especially George and Orlando were great advising us on which places to visit and what to see.
The reception staff and room service couldn't be faulted.
I would say this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in and would go back there again just a pity we didn't stay for longer.
We visited other hotels in Guernsey but they were not as nice as the Duke of Richmond.
