The decor at the Duke of Richmond is superb and the attention to detail and cleanliness is without fault .
However its the staff who escalate this great hotel into a fabulous place to stay. Housekeeping, Maintenance, Dining Room/Bar Staff, Chef's and Reception, each and every member of staff we encountered where courteous, knowledgeable and efficient their willingness to please was genuine and enthusiastic. Thank you

We have just returned from a seven nights stay at this wonderful hotel. The staff, whether in reception, the restaurant and bar or housekeeping were friendly, efficient and very helpful. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the room was luxurious with a comfortable. King size bed and a lovely bathroom. The attention to detail was superb too.
We chose from a wide range of food at breakfast and Olga and her staff made us very welcome, making the effort to make the service personal to our requirements. We ate in the restaurant twice in the evening. The meals were delicious, especially the fish dishes.
The hotel is situated just above Candie Gardens where the spring flowers were blooming magnificently during our stay.
Summing up we had a relaxing week in Guernsey with lots of bus rides, sightseeing and walking. It was great after our wandering to return to this wonderful, luxurious hotel and rest and relax. Just superb.

The foyer of this hotel is not user friendly,hard furnishings and the black and white effect very cold feeling.
Our classic double room was quite small and made for two people to move around not easy ,the bedside table was mostly taken up with the huge side lamp !!
Bedding was of high quality and size of bed pleasing,nice Fragonard toiletries,soft fluffy towels and even a flannel.
The evening meal was bistro style,I had expected a really nice a la carts menu,the food was very mediocre,waiting staff pleasant but seemed all to be in training.
Hotel exterior in need of a make over,peeling paintwork did not make for a good first impression, the hotel sign was shabby.

A superb hotel right in the heart of St Peter Port and everything you'd expect of a 5-star hotel. The quality of the accommodation and the service was all first class.
We had a standard room which was lovely although the bathroom was on the small side having to close the bathroom door before being able to sit on the toilet. Not a major issue at all, just an observation.
Loved the turndown service or more to the point, the wrapped brownie left on the pillow. Just a lovely touch.

A weekend wedding anniversary trip with friends. Beautiful room with great view. Staff were attentive and very helpful. Nothing too much trouble and that goes for the reception, concierge, restaurant, spa or room staff. It was across the board. The breakfasts were stunning and dinner exceptional. Lovely old world hotel with modern twists. Comfortable lounges and bar areas for a drink or afternoon tea or an after dinner coffee. Always a staff member on hand to offer assistance.
Very convenient for shops although a little climb on way back.
There is a car park and it is very near to the ferry port. Walking distance but as I said a shirt climb at the end.
There are disabled facilities and several lifts to get to all areas.
There is a great spa with lots of lovely treatments. A large gym and spa baths. No indoor pool though. Lovely one outside and a shame not available in Winter months. A temporary roof perhaps for all year use!
I rate this establishment as one of the nicest I have been to for sometime. We will be coming back.

Spent 4 nights in the OGH to celebrate my wifes birthday. Booked a king size bedroom with sea view and balcony (room 111). Room overlooked the harbour with a view towards Herm and Sark. Enjoyed our stay at the OGH and would like to come back here. With breakfast included in the price it set us up for the rest of the day. Staff at this hotel are wonderful and can't do enough for you. Highly recommended hotel.

My friend and I recently visited the Old Government Hotel and Spa for Afternoon Tea. We were extremely impressed by the attention to detail and service afforded to us. We were served in the Crown Club which has amazing décor and atmosphere. The food was second to none and definitely the best sandwiches ever (would certainly recommend the chicken mayo coated in almond slivers). The Bouchard Finlaysan wine complimented the food (Hannibal and Walker Bay was delicious) and we're looking forward to returning to the hotel just to sample the wines. We would like to give a special mention to Luis who was extremely professional and gave us a very friendly and knowledgeable service. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and topped off the day with specialist gins served by the very attentive Catalin in the bar. Signing up for the 'Gin Passport' was also a highlight and we cant wait to come back and collect the remaining stamps (although that might mean more than one trip as there are 35 of 37 still to sample). We are looking forward to booking the 'Wine Tasting' session next time we visit. Thank you so much to Gareth for making the arrangements and to his team for giving us such a special experience. Sandra and Diane.

Elizabeth and I stayed at the OGH last night and had a superb experience
On arrival the concierge accompanied me to their car park to show me where to leave my vehicle, we were then given a sparkling wine welcome drink and booked into the hotel
The bedroom was to a very high standard and simply luxurious
Nothing was too much trouble and staff very courteous
Restaurant and bar very good and food delicious
A very good stay and reasonable cost for the luxury provided

My husband and I were impressed as soon as we arrived at hotel with our hired car quickly taken away and stored in car park. We were then offered a glass of wine and then shown to our twin bedded room with sea view, very impressed. We were then shown round the rest of the luxurious hotel. Fruit and chocolates were in the room and offered champagne to have with our afternoon tea which we had booked for my birthday.
The afternoon tea was delicious, served with the champagne. The service for breakfast, lunch and evening meals was exceptional everyone was so attentive and after the first evening we were referred to by name.
