The hotel is being renovated which we didn’t know about until we arrived. We had to go through the basement car park to get to the reception desk. The room was shabby and very dated. Tea/coffee facilities consisted of one breakfast tea teabag, two green tea teabags , no coffee and no milk. Breakfast the following morning was very poor….. very little selection and shabby dining room. Overall our stay was dreadful.

Great Stay

Hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment but our experience was a good one. Staff were very helpful to store our bags before check-in. Our room 701 on the top floor was in good condition, spacious and quiet. The air-con was working, if a little noisy, and we had a great view over Derry. I’m sure when complete this will be an excellent hotel.

Stay somewhere else until the remodeling is finish

Hotel is under construction. No access to lobby except through parking garage. Breakfast dining facilities were relocated to a conference room. Rooms do not have AC (disabled) and the rooms get hot. They provide a fan, but the window to the outside opens only a crack due to safety cord. Terrible nights sleep with stuffy heat in the room and road noise and loud drunks in the late evening. Food service was questionable. Rooms were not consistently stocked. 3 couples had varied amenities or lack there of on the same floor. If the hotel is going to be in a remodeling a discount should be offered for those staying in the old rooms and putting up with the many inconveniences. Definitely not as represented in the offering.

Fantastic location very close to city walls and beside the river. Hotel was undergoing renovation in June 2025 as it is becoming a Hilton property. This was my second stay in 7 years and I hope the friendliness and reasonable pricing does not change. Parking is under the hotel in a very well hidden and small area. If you get a spot you will not want to move until check out. Parking an SUV would be quite a challenge. I hope to come back to this hotel one day.
