My husband and I stayed in this hotel for a special birthday back in July. We have travelled all over the world with work and on vacation from NYC to Singapore, from Dubai to Barcelona....and this is the best hotel we have stayed in. Not just the hotel (which is luxury) but the service was impeccable. Really first class touches. All staff were so personable. We loved our stay and will be back!!

Found the bedroom a little small for a couple which made it rather warm at night but that said it was still most acceptable. Hence my rating .
All staff were most courteous, polite, professional & helpful at all times. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and abundant served in the conservatory restaurant with views over St Peters Port and beyond to a Herm Island- wonderfully relaxing.
The hotel is comfortable yet palatial at the same time.

My wife and I were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary spending 4 nights in the hotel. We we were greeted royally by a wonderful smiling Czech doorman who gave us a tour of the hotel, parked our car and showed us to our room. This was both opulent and extremely comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and were we presented with a bottle of sparkling wine on our first night. We had been contacted a week or so prior to our stay to explain that there would be a wedding over the weekend and there would possibly be some loud music. However the staff placed us in a room on the other side of the building away from the celebrations and we not aware of any disturbances. We were extremely impressed by this excellent and considerate service.
We cannot praise the staff enough; they were friendly, charming and extremely helpful throughout our stay. The brasserie served excellent food and everyone was absolutely delightful.The staff seemed genuinely happy and shared a common determination to provide high quality service. Brilliant! We have already recommended it to our five grown up children and their partners and to our friends.

This was our second visit to the The OGH. There was a slight reluctance as its not easy to repeat the same fantastic experience twice but Andrew and his team managed it. I also had a spa treatment this time which was so lovely I went back again the next day. Our children who had begged us to rebook this year were absolutely delighted to see Ken who manages the restaurant again. He has the intuition to make sure their stay as special as ours. See you all next year.

It is not often that you find a hotel that ticks ALL the boxes for you, but I do believe we have just found 'The One'!
My husband and I wanted a short break to celebrate our 28th Wedding Anniversary and, never having been to Guernsey before, we thought we'd give it a try.
What a revelation this hotel is - beautifully decorated in a very quirky style, everything spotlessly clean, wonderful food and one of the best hotel' breakfast choices' we have ever seen.
But the thing that makes this hotel different is the attention to the little details that in themselves seem small, but taken together lift the service to another level eg bottles of water and mini-towels left out in Reception in case you are going for a run or a walk; bottles of sunscreen etc left by the pool in case you have left yours in your room, I could go on............. They even presented us with an anniversary cake - and it was gluten -free to meet my needs!! Now THAT was impressive!!
Finally, but probably most important, are the staff. To ALL the helpful, polite and respectful staff, but especially to Nika at Reception, Carina in the Restaurant and Chef Elder we offer our heartfelt thanks for making our stay so unforgettable.
Will we be going back? Most definitely 'YES', and the sooner the better!!!

Just returned from a 4 night stay at this great hotel. Excellent room, spotless with good facilities. We had a large sea view room which overlooked the terrace although admittedly the "sea view" was a bit of an exaggeration! We could see the sea- just a long way in the distance and view largely blocked by a tree. Great room nonetheless. Majority of staff really friendly and nothing too much trouble. Good food and a nice location next to Candie Park which is worth a free visit! We are likely to be back sometime!

We stayed at the Duke of Richmond for 3 nights in late August and had a really good and restful break. Our accommodation was in a 2nd floor sea view/balcony room which had sea glimpses - this was a really good choice as it was exceptionally comfortable and fairly spacious. All staff were extremely friendly, very helpful and did everything to make our break as enjoyable as possible. Olga (the restaurant maitre d') was exceptional and offered good suggestions as to menu choices and was always ready to assist.
The hotel is in a quiet area and is about 10 minutes walk from the High Street (slightly longer possibly on the way back because it is up hill).
This hotel is highly recommended.

On arriving at this hotel the bell boy went out of his way to find and ensure we had a parking place for our car. I could not single out a single member of staff as being more friendly & helpful. The bell boy gave us a full tour of the hotel before then proceeding to our room. It was a lovely clean well appointed room and even had bath robes and slippers. The breakfast selection was excellent with fresh fruit, cereals etc. and then on to something cooked which could be as bespoke as you like. We had dinner in the hotel twice and even though the menu was a bit plain the specials board made up for it .The food quality could not be faulted in any way(try the cheese cake), it was just excellent and the staff were very attentive from showing us to our table through to the end of the meal. We were made to feel part of your family.
My only criticism was the hotel details implied that there was hotel parking. There are only 5 places, other than that you have to fight for a place on the road and then there are parking restrictions.
To sum up this hotel, we would defiantly stay again because it is such exceptional place. It was your personal service that my wife and I received which we have never received before.

This really is a wonderful hotel. The staff are polite and friendly and they cannot do enough for you. The room (213) we stopped in was very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was first class in every way (you really must try the steak, compliments to the Chef) The hotel is a 10 min walk from town which means that it has a quiet location... Always a plus. I don't understand how they manage to keep the hotel so amazingly clean.....but this really is a first rate hotel.
