We chose the DOR to celebrate my wifes 60th birthday. We only stayed for two nights but could not have chosen a better place. From Gwyn the concierge and all the staff who gave excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble. We were given the choice of an upgrade and were shown some lovely rooms but my wife prefered the one we had booked. Although the room was small it was spotless and we had a loveley view of the harbour and sea. The bed and the pillows were very comfortable, two bottles of water were also provided. The restaurant for breakfast and dinner was also excellent. A choice of dining in the light and airy conservatory or watching our meals being prepared and cooked in the show kitchen. We liked the location of the DOR as it was in a loveley quiet spot,a 10 minute walk downhill to the front. The staff at this hotel could not have been more friendly or helpful. Hoping to return in the near future for a longer stay

Stayed here for a 1 night business trip in May.
The hotel was very clean, modern refurbishment, excellent breakfast, very friendly staff and even a free drink at the bar! Very good stay.
Location is slightly out of the main town however the seafront is only a 5/10 min walk away.

My wife and I stayed there for seven nights during may. It was a relaxing experience in a spotlessly clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The staff gave us a lot of information about the area and were very helpful and friendly. The room we stayed in was elegant and comfortable, the service during our stay was 5 star .Breakfast was excellent with great service.We ate one evening in the hotel, very good food and attentive service.On the other evenings we tried the local restuarants , all were very good. The hotel was in a good location 7/10 minute walk from the sea front and harbour , local bus stop 100yard stroll .All in all a great stay, we would certainly book this hotel again when we next visit Guermsey and would recommended it to our friends and family.

What makes this hotel stand out is the level of service and personal attention. The staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. The food is very good although maybe the service at breakfast could be made more efficient but that is a very minor point indeed. I really enjoyed my stay and would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

From the moment we arrived the welcome was friendly and professional. Service was excellent throughout from breakfast to dinner. The evening meals were fresh and superbly cooked, especially the fish specials - the brill was delicious.The room (501) was clean and bathroom spacious but the bedroom was very small and a little over the top decor (also too many mirrors everywhere). We would definitely recommend the hotel and hope to return next year. Probably go for a sea view next time!

Went to Guernsey for a long weekend to celebrate a friends 50th birthday. We stayed at the Duke of Richmond and from the moment we arrived to the time we left the service was fantastic. Even being invited to have champagne one evening in honour of the birthday girl :)
Little touches of having free bottle‘s of water in the lobby are appreciated. The bar staff were all very friendly (Carmen thank you for looking after us so well – we did keep you busy :)
Great hotel would highly recommend a stay. Thank you and hope to go back soon.

first class hotel, very comfortable room with lots of lovely little touches to make things special, decor of entire hotel very pleasing, cuisine first class, every dish delightful in quality, quantity and presentation, but the real star of the show was the staff, nothing was too much trouble, they knew what i wanted before i did, and provided it with smiles, and always remembering my name.
in future, when looking for a hotel, i will not be asking , is it 5 star? but is it a red carnation hotel

We arrived fairly early and were greeted by the friendly concierge and reception staff who looked after our luggage so that we could have a wander around town before check-in time.
Check-in was efficient and we were shown to our rooms and helped with our luggage.
The rooms were not large but were very comfortable with an interesting padded fabric wall and thick carpets. Complimentary water and a free use of a safe in each room. Flat screen TV. Double glazed and a sea view. Air conditioning that functioned well.
Very clean bathroom with ample hot water and a power shower. Hairdryer. Heated towel rail. Complimentary bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. Thick white towels.
The reception area, lounge area and bar area were very distictive in their styling which made for an interesting environment in which to enjoy a drink. Complimentary drinks like iced tea and bottled water in the reception area too!
The restaurant and bar was efficient, friendly, professional and comfortable.
Breakfasts were help yourself cereals, fresh fruits, croissants, cheeses and meats etc etc and a cooked breakfast to order from an extensive menu. You can observe the "pass" and the chefs hard at work.
We ate an evening meal in the restaurant - absolutely delicious, fresh and well presented. Very attentive waiters without being over the top about it.
The whole hotel seems well managed, well trained, well organised and most important "Welcoming".
A final and unexpected touch was a delicious fresh cream and strawberry birthday cake left in my room which we shared with our friends.
Couldn't fault it even if I tried (and I won't) - therefore in my opinion 5* on TripAdvisor!!!
