The Duke of Richmond Hotel

Recently visited this fun and well-presented hotel with its eclectic mix of decor. First impressions on entering the hotel are dominated by the checkerboard flooring, accompanied by the sparkle of glass and silverware leading up to a central reception desk where a warm welcome awaited us. Our travel arrangements had already created a challenging start to our time in Guernsey as we had been due to start our stay in Sark but due to poor weather had to swap the first part of our holiday around. The hotel were able to deal with this in a flexible and efficient manner, accommodating the varying requirements of all 9 of us! Following check-in, we located our well-appointed 3rd-floor room, which was a very good size, decorated with opulent blue striped walls, a large, very comfortable bed, seating area and good sized bathroom. All clean and tidy with the addition of tea and coffee making facilities. Prior to arrival we had requested an iron and ironing board along with feather pillows and this had not been overlooked. The dining experience at the hotel is also to be commended and we enjoyed the safari chic themed Leopard Bar as our pre-meal meeting place. Again the staff were friendly and obliging, offering suggestions for the wines and beers that might tempt us! In the comfortable and spacious restaurant we took advantage of the tennerfest menu on offer and were not disappointed with the quality of the food provided. The same can be said for the variety of options available for breakfast which has something to suit most tastes, no excuses for feeling hungry here! In summary, I can thoroughly recommend this hotel which is close to the centre of St Peter's Port yet in a quiet and attractive area and would happily visit it again.

We were visiting Guernsey for the first time, and were here for 4 days, during this time I was celebrating my birthday!! I have high expectations for hotels I stay in and am occasionally disappointed. The Duke of Richmond however, didn't disappoint, it exceeded my expectations, hugely!! The superior room we stayed in was large, bright and roomy adorned with a cute chandelier above the bed. Super clean room with lovely little extras. The hotel itself is SO elegant with a really stunning reception. The main reason this hotel is EXCEPTIONAL is the staff. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble, they were ALL bright friendly and cheerful ( we were there for 4 days and it never changed). They found out it was my birthday and so when we returned to our beautiful room, after cycling round the island all day, a beautiful little cake decorated with fruit and happy birthday written in chocolate was sitting on the table and an even sweeter touch was a birthday card signed by every member of the concierge/ reception team!! It was full of signatures. We ate in their restaurant twice and again, the blond maitre d was utterly charming and professional every time!! Gorgeous Irish waiter who served us, was a delight!! Thank you The Duke of Richmond and your AMAZING staff. Due to how you treated us, we will MOST definitely return and would recommend this hotel to the most discerning of travellers. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!

We have just stayed at the DoR for the 4th time and we have always felt welcome, at home and comfortable. We have stayed in a variety of bedrooms, from a classic double to a suite with balcony and each time it has been special. A ten out of ten for everyone who works at the DoR but a very special mention must go to Olga who manages the restaurant - she is always helpful, attentive and welcoming. The DoR is our first port of call, whenever we visit this lovely Channel Island.

Just can't speak highly enough of the Duke of Richmond. A friend and I spent 4 nights there. The hotel is stunning and immaculate, the food magnificent and position is quiet and beautiful. The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as it could be- they were both knowledgeable and helpful in so many ways. A return is definitely on the cards!
