We were lucky to stay here for 5 nights. The hotel is well appointed, spottlessly clean & impressive inside. It's a 15ish min walk, a bit hilly, into town through the Candie gardens & there's a great little shop opposite. It's the staff that are all the cherry on the cake. The service from every single member of the team was amazing. Nothing was too much...more than excellent!
Our room was fairly small but had everything we needed. It was quite warm & took a while to get to grips with the air conditioning but was very comfortable when we did. The housekeeping team were fantastic we loved seeing what treat was left each night at turn down.
Breakfast was delicious & very high quality with so much choice. I loved the eggs royal...my husband loved the dukes special.
The weather was stunning when we first arrived so we could take advantage of the lovely outside space with beautiful views of the harbour. We had a quick swim in the outside pool (sign for the gate key at reception) which was quite a suntrap.
We would love to return one day. Thank you to each member of the hotel team for making our stay perfect.

Decided to go hear instead of fat rascals, as heard they are having troubling times. Was a very pleasant surprise, waiters were observant very quick, food very warm and good. Reasonable prices which are always a bonus!!

We have travelled a lot over the years, but never to Guernsey, so after some research we chose The Duke of Richmond, which had excellent reviews and also a special offer of 4 nights for 3, breakfast included, with a £50 meal discount voucher.
It is quite simply one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. Our room was beautifully furnished with crisp bed linen, soft fluffy towels, and all the amenities. The hotel is located in a peaceful green historic area, but as there is a steep hill down to the town we ate in the hotel each night, from a good choice of evening specials which we thoroughly enjoyed.
What really makes the hotel though is the staff, - all well trained, friendly, and keen to help. They work well as a team, and on our last morning Gareth, the general manager, was helping out with the breakfast service, and Anita, on reception, checked in our onward flights, and delivered boarding passes to our room.
We had a great time and can highly recommend this hotel.

5 star food & service from a 4 star hotel. Brilliant breakfasts. Will provide fresh milk for in-room tea/coffee facilities. Only detriment was a stiff walk back up the hill from the town. Not for the unfit, unless reliant upon taxis.

My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful week at the Duke of Richmond Hotel. The hotel is mid-size, kept scrupulously clean, served superb food, whether breakfast (served at your table from an extensive menu) or dinner and was beautifully situated just on the edge of the town centre, near Candie Park. Walking into the town centre takes about ten minutes, but it is uphill on the way back. The real stars of the hotel were the staff. Always cheerful, without question they could not do enough to help, however trivial the problem. It was clear that a number of the younger members of staff were undertaking training and the quality of this was there for all to see. It would be inappropriate to single out individuals because clearly the team ethic was paramount. We had room 302 which we highly recommend. It has a distant harbour view and gets the sun most of the day. There is a small balcony to sit out on. St Peter Port has a wealth of good restaurants to choose from if you don't want to eat in the hotel every evening. We sampled Christies, Le Petit Bistro and the Boathouse. All were very good but booking ahead was advisable. Our only minor gripe was the lack of hotel car parking. On-street parking was OK but care was needed not to run out of limited parking time.
So to sum up-this hotel is a gem. And I thank Gareth and his team for providing us with an unforgettable week. We will definitely return.

Spent 4 nights with my wife and daughter. Lovely hotel with very good staff. Even when things go slightly wrong, they are quick to put it right and with good grace. We had a couple of issues on arrival but the mark of a good hotel is that they respond and make the customer happy. Very nice rooms lounge/bar/restaurant areas and excellent food at dinner and breakfast, All the staff were excellent with a positive attitude but we'd pick out Noah who we met on the first day and who later gave good recommendations.

We stayed for a couple of nights and were impressed by the level of service. We had a lovely big room overlooking a green and it is in a good residential spot with many fine period buildings. Walking in to St Peter Port took less time than expected (10-15 minutes) but it is hilly. The facilities on the hotel are good with excellent breakfast on the terrace and a pool. Only downsides are limited parking and not so keen on some of the artwork. These proved minor with our main memories the superb staff, the setting and the food. Will stay again.

My husband & stayed for two nights over my birthday. The whole stay was wonderful, the food was excellent, room was beautifully decorated and very clean with high level of extras (water, robe, slippers, sewing kit, etc). All the staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly, nothing was any trouble. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and are already planning another stay here.

Not easy to walk to and from town. The decor was a bit garish. we weren’t very impressed with the breakfast. Dinner was fine. Staff were courteous. Some of this review wouldn’t apply to a young person.
