We have both stayed and eaten here usually accompanied by our two dogs. There is always a warm welcome from the friendly, well trained staff. Rooms are very comfortable including the dog beds(!) and the food is always good. An all round very good experience.

Just back from a long weekend at the Duke of Richmond and had a wonderful stay. Splashed out on a suite which was great value on a 3 nights for the price of 2 deal. Also got a £50 restaurant credit by booking direct and the dinner we had in the restaurant was excellent.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a mix up with housekeeping one day where towels weren't replaced, but following a call down this was swiftly, and apologetically, resolved. The breakfast was also great, with a good buffet selection and table service of freshly cooked items.
The location was nice, being above St Peter Port but only a 10 minute walk down to the harbour (longer back up!) We had a lovely view across to Sark from our terrace and it was a very quiet spot. (There was a function going on on Friday night, but it either finished early or we slept though it. Either way it didn't really disturb us.)
There is very limited hotel parking, but plenty of on-street parking. 2 hour parking near the hotel and 10 hour parking further down the road. (No restriction 6pm - 8am, I understand.)
All in all, a lovely stay!

This is a very comfortable and stylish hotel. The staff are very helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Our room and bathroom were large and comfortable and very well thought out. We had a dinner in the Leopard Dining Room, the food was delicious and well presented, with the best Baked Alaska ever! The walk into the centre of town is 10 minutes and is up hill coming back. I can thoroughly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying there again or in any other hotel in the Red Carnation group.

This was our second visit to The Duke of Richmond and hopefully it will not be our last. From the warm welcome we received on checking in until the last minute we had a fantastic stay. All the staff are clearly well trained to treat guests with every courtesy. Our room on the fourth floor was spacious with a sofa to relax on after a day's sightseeing. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and we enjoyed drinks in the bar on each night. As a really personal touch, cakes and a card were left in our room as a lovely surprise for my birthday. Well done to everyone who makes this hotel special.

Our room was a delight - spacious, opening windows, places to sit, plump pillows and beautifully comfortable bed. Superb breakfast with extensive choice on continental buffet and hot dishes cooked to order. Staff very attentive and couldn't have done more to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. I haven't struck a hotel that does an evening turn down service in a very long time. I would love to return and would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Guernsey.

We have just had a four night break at the Duke of Richmond hotel and cannot praise it enough. We stayed in a classic room which was lovely. I have never seen such a sparkling bathroom in a hotel before! It was pristine. All the staff were friendly and helpful. For breakfast you could either have various cooked dishes made to order or buffet continental, or both! Too much choice. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the hotel. Although both in our early 70’s we had no trouble negotiating the walk back up from the port to the hotel through Candie gardens. All in all a great holiday.

Having got engaged 25 years ago in Guernsey we decided to return to this lovely island. We are a fairly frequent visitor to Guernsey and have stayed at numerous hotels. The Duke Of Richmond is by far our favourite. Laid back, but professional and very friendly. We stayed on the 3rd floor in a very nicely decorated room that was maintained to a high standard during our visit. The breakfasts were excellent. We didn't have dinner but a bar snack one evening where the service from the kitchen was quite slow. It is an easy 10 minute downhill walk into St Peter Port and a slightly longer 15 minute uphill walk back. Great position. Extremely helpful and friendly reception staff, especially Paloma

Lovely hotel at the top of a very steep climb from the harbour. Unless you are an active walker you will struggle via foot so use a taxi about £6 !! Very good staff and clean recently decorated rooms . We paid extra for a seaview but binoculars were required as hotel at least a mile in land ! Superb breakfasts with an extensive range . The fine dining in evening ranged from excellent to poor . Do not order the burger as its reconstituted meat and inedible most strange as they served some amazing dishes ! No more expensive than most harbour eateries but only 7/10 rating ! One of the premier hotels in guernsey .

We stayed here for our 2 night 'minimoon.' Very nice quality hotel with good facilities and particularly excellent helpful staff in all areas. We had upgraded to a sea view room which in reality didn't feel good value but then we didn't see a non-sea view room. The room and bathroom were a little on the small side but that didn't really detract from our stay.
