Derry is lovely and the staff were also lovely. The hotel is getting renovated and needs it. Gym is good size but all equipement is old and so are the changing rooms. The bathroom in bedroom is so outdated. Hopefully they will adresss all of this with the work going on

There are no plugs beside the beds and we use medical equipment. The reception contacted maintenance and they had an extension lead brought to the room within minutes but we then had a cable trailing from one wall to opposite side of room where beds were which wasn't ideal. I would hope this is taken in2 acct with the new refurbishment taking place. Street parking opposite is £5 depending when you arrive. Hotel charge £14 per night.

Chaos

Well we had a nasty surprise wen we went to check in saying we had only booked a room for 2 but we had our 6 year old grandchild with us. I sincerely had booked a room for 2adults and 1 child (6 years old) my booking said room sleeps 3 and 3 travellers. But this is to do with hotels.com. I will give Derry city hotel a bi ball as they are getting refurbished but service in bar was slow and stop and breakfast was terrible the food was not being replenished quick enough as a lot of foods all empty I had to ask for 4 different things and eventually got most but couldn’t wait any longer as got fed up standing waiting but this should not b affected by refurbishment as numbers for breakfast r known r mayb just short staffed like everywer else but as I said will give bi ball as I love the hotel in general it’s great for us with pool for grandchild and it’s very handy for shops for me 😀

Was alright, don't get breakfast!

It was a nice hotel however there were a few hiccups throughout our stay, the lifts were very slow, my sister had joined us on the Saturday and paid £14 for parking in the hotel, we had the drive to a restaurant and only gone for a hour, when we arrived back to the hotel there were no parking spaces left, the male porter said there was nothing they could do? Paid £14 to park for an hour? It turned out cheaper just to park in the car park across the street. Our party was gluten free and we were assured that they done a gluten free breakfast, which I know most places don't offer, but a hotel should either offer all of it or nothing at all as we had waited 40 mins for watery scrambled egg and a few bits of bacon and then another 10 mins on top of that for 2 bits of toast which is absolutely ridiculous and for it to cost £20 was completely unreasonable!!! I would book the hotel again but please review the gluten free options.

Very disappointing stay. Extremely dis satisfied at considering the costs. Construction ongoing within the hotel and not told this before hand Firstly the car parking on site which was always free. They now charge but no signs to tell you. Only found this out after checking in. Rooms very old and dated and unclean, toilet barely flushed and barely any water in the shower hose Breakfast of very low quality. Most of the products ran out and seemed to be very few waiter/kitchen staff. Very slow to re stock the food items. Large Q’s standing waiting on food. Would not recommend this hotel at all
