I went to this hotel for Easter, such a wonderful service and lovely food. A very relaxing hotel with staff who are so helpful. I cannot fault my stay at this place and I have already booked for 2020, because I like this hotel and the service so much.

Stayed at the Duke of Richmond for three nights in May and was impressed with the hotel from the minute we arrived. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at and nearly all down to the quality of the staff - friendly, helpful and with the air of caring about their guests. The room itself was quite small but met our needs. Breakfast was superb with a good selection at a buffet as well as a vast cooked to order hot menu. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night during our stay, great food, great service and reasonable price (not budget but not extortionate). Slightly outside of the centre of St Peter Port and for those mobility challenged, a taxi would probably be required as the hotel is up quite a steep hill. Would absolutely recommend the Duke of Richmond and if we were visiting Guernsey again, would be looking to return.

If you are looking for a 4star hotel which is good value for money, look no further.
We stayed for four nights at this wonderful hotel.
We were warmly greeted on arrival and the staff were so helpful throughout our stay.
We stayed in a standard room and it was spotlessly clean and so very comfortable and spacious.
The food in the restaurant was amazing. The breakfast menu was vast and everything we tried was delicious. In the evening, we can thoroughly recommend the rotisserie chicken. The staff in the restaurant worked so hard and everyone was polite and profressional, but a particular mention goes to Olga.
It is a lovely walk through Candie Gardens to the town.
This was our first trip to Guernsey but it will not be our last. We will not need to look for anywhere else to stay!

We had an enjoyable week at the D.O.R. Very comfortable room and staff were professional. Had expected to dine at the hotel more than we did but we found the menu a bit restricted - the food we had was good and there was Limited daily specials. There were several nice restaurants to try in St Peter’s Port but it was a bit of a drag back up the hill in the dark and we didn’t find it easy getting taxis. So, another time, we’d probably choose a hotel in the centre.

We stayed at the Duke of Richmond for 4 nights as a surprise for my husbands 65th birthday. We could not fault it. The staff are excellent and cannot do enough for you (i was in reception 1 day and heard them send out a member of staff to get a guest some nail varnish remover - surely above and beyond what should be expected!). The hotel itself is spotless and looks newly refurbished. There were lots of little touches like 3 jars of sweets left for guests (they went very quickly each day) and a free soft drink in reception. On my husbands birthday they delivered a card - signed by most of the team and a selection of small cakes. There is a quiet lounge as well as bar and restaurant and a glorious terrace (which was a great sun trap). It was too cold to use the pool but it looked very nice.
Breakfast was very good - with a good selection of cooked options as well as the continental options. The bar snacks are huge so we would share a steak baguette at lunchtime - it came with lovely fries so was more than enough for 2. The cream teas looked amazing but enormous.
Our room was a standard one but very nice with everything (including robe and slippers) that you could want and a nice fruit platter as a welcome gift.
The only word of caution I would give is that it is quite a steep climb up from St Peter Port - we walked in and back every day and in again in the evening but got a taxi back after our meal. The taxi's were quite reasonable - we got one from the taxi rank on the seafront and it was under £5 - it was a little more when they picked us up from a restaurant (£6 to £8). It was not a problem for us (and we are no spring chickens) but if you have a serious mobility problem and do not want to get a lot of taxis, I would contact the hotel (they are very helpful) to see what other options there are - I'm sure there are some but we did not ask.
We would definately stay here again if we go back to St Peter Port.

Spent 4 nights at the D.O.R last week for our first stay in Guernsey and the hotel was chosen based on the previous reviews. We were not dissapointed and everything from the initial welcome from reception to our return was fantastic. The staff were the friendliest we have ever experienced and nothing was too much trouble, special mention to Paul in the bar/restaurant. The decor throughout was stunning, loved the prints/posters on each floor. Last of all has to be the food, never had breakfasts of this quality, for any visitors try the Dukes special. Well done the Duke of Richmond.

We had a 5 night stay on holiday to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary and we couldn't have stayed anywhere more perfect. Everything was to the highest standard___from cleanliness,decor,beds etc. The breakfast,as so many people have said ,was superb. However what sets this hotel apart is the way the staff are so attentive and clearly strive for perfection. We are already looking forward to when we can make a return visit.

Spent three nights here. The hotel is not much to look at from the outside, but is nice inside. Quirky decoration in the restaurant areas. Staff friendly and helpful and breakfasts excellent. Did not get around to sampling the evening menu.
Guernsey itself is a beautiful island with stunning scenery and very friendly locals.

a lot to offer the seasoned traveler. Very comfortable bed, good bar, lovely pool and breakfast. The staff was very attentive and it was a lovely place to stay without the kiddos. I remember the first time we went into this place...it left a hold on me! Will stay again

Had a wonderful full massage from Rosemary even though I'm diagnosed with cancer. The treatment was really beneficial and incredible value for money. Rosemary informs me that more staff will be trained to treat cancer patients. I cannot wait to visit again.
