We just had a 2 night stay at this hotel and they were great. Travelling with 4 kids is never easy but all staff were very helpful and very accommodating. Special mention to Azam who assisted with the entire booking, a big thank you to Bianca for getting the chef to make us something special because kids (and their daddy) didn't want something off the menu. The chef was amazing and cooked up such a nice meal that we ended up eating in the restaurant a second night and not even bothering to go out. THe biggest mention to the front desk manager who spent over an hour with our kids cake decorating... really nice staff.. really nice hotel. Would recommend.

I travelled with my family ( variously a 22 year old daughter , a 19 year old daughter and an 11 year old son and my wife ) this July for a family celebration. We were greeted as return guests having stayed there 6 days on each of our 3 visits to Guernsey 2007, 2012 and 2014. On each occasion the warmth of the staff and the level of service is consistently great. I read here of someone lamenting that there was only instant coffee in the room, ( a strange criteria for judgement ) to which I say, get out and take a coffee in one of the many cafes in St Peter Port At the Duke of Richmond the manner in which the staff relate to one another is reassuring. I can sense if the good manners are just for show and I have to say that all the staff from the front of house to the housemaids and waiters help create an ambience of genuine hospitality. Once you get beyond the decor in the lobby, you will find elegant suites that are heartwarming and as is said, long after you pay the price, you will have fond memories. When we travel from Australia we like style and comfort. You will find both here and in my experience, it is a place to which we love to return. The breakfast is very provident and worth taking time to enjoy as you plan your day. I am full of praise for the host of reasons here, which is totally deserved.

My partner and I recently returned from a 2 night stay in the Penthouse Suite at this fabulous hotel. It was spotlessly clean and tidy with excellent decor and a very comfortable bed. The manager and staff quite clearly work well together as a very effective team whose priority is exceptional customer service. We were there as a competition prize. We were greeted by name on arrival and throughout our stay which was very impressive. We had breakfasts, a champagne afternoon tea and dinner in the hotel restaurant. There was an amazing selection on the menus and particular dietary requirements were catered for. It was our first visit to Guernsey and the staff's friendliness and attention to detail gave us an excellent first impression not only of the hotel but also of Guernsey. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and hope to return in the not too distant future. A very big thank you to Lukas and his professional team for making our stay so memorable.

Stayed at this hotel for our 25th wedding anniversary and were greeted with a bottle of champagne and fruit in our room. Beautiful decoration and attentive service was second to none. Ate in the Brasserie one evening and it was wonderful. All in all nothing was too much trouble for the staff in all areas of the otel and would love to stay there again.

We travelled with three children aged between 11 and 15. We were given two rooms, both recently redecorated and very elegant. We also brought our dog, who was allowed to stay in our bedroom and was treated with great tolerance. The hotel is wonderfully quiet at night thanks to thick carpets and padded silk walls and has a lovely garden with a swimming pool. There were several families staying with young children, who also appeared to be well looked after. The food was very good, if fairly pricey. Everywhere in Peter Port is within easy walking distance. Like Guernsey generally, there is a slightly anachronistic feel to the place in a good way.

What a terrific place. First impression created by welcoming, helpful front desk - and high quality, attentive service was maintained over the course of our stay. We sampled - and were impressed by: afternoon tea (great if you can have it outside), breakfast, and the superb degustation menu, with wine, in the Governor's (excellent food, unique setting, really good value). Very good gym and spa facilities (treatments get a 4 out of 5 from the other half, who sampled two for her birthday). We dad to wait a while to be served drinks on occasion (the bar is a bit removed from the indoor lounge) and our bathroom would probably benefit from a little modernising - but this is nitpicking (it would be 5 out of 5's across the board otherwise). If we come back to Guernsey, this is where we will stay.

We had a great holiday. The hotel was very good with my toddler and older kids. Felt very at home and cared about. The decor is very clean and lovely old feel to it whilst still clean and fresh. The food, especially breakfast was delicious and the service was good too.
The Island just feels safe and this hotel is well located for visiting the small capital

Just returned from The Old Government House Hotel, Guernsey after having the most wonderful time. All the staff went out of their way to make us so welcome. The food was superb and all the little extras were catered for.
This is not our first visit and will certainly not be our last.

Family holiday, stayed here for a week in July, all I can really say is this is just a fantastic hotel. Beautiful building and gardens.The rooms were lovely but the ones we had were quiet small. Very nice outside pool, gym and spa area. All staff are friendly and approachable, the reception staff are very knowledgeable of the local area, and are willing to help with all requests. The food in all bars / restaurants is delicious with great service. This hotel is in a perfect location for St Peter Port town and seafront which are a few minutes walk away. Perfect holiday, no complaints and would certainly stay again in the future.
