The location of the hotel and room size were amazing! Jacuzzi was out of order when we were there, and needed a swimming cap for the pool so we couldn't use them. The bathroom was nice, but the shower curtain does cling to you a bit. Overall pretty nice but not perfect.

Fantastic location right in the centre of Derry. Our family room was huge and plenty of space for the 3 of us. Although there was renovation happening we honestly didn't notice anything. The leisure facilities were excellent. Others have noted the parking charges, so thanks to that we parked on the road just outside Ebrington Square for free and just walked across the Peace Bridge.

The location of this hotel and view of the Foyle and Peace Bridge are second to none. The hotel is clearly in a state of transition with DoubleTree taking over, and renovations of the lobby happening. Many aspects of the hotel truly need the renovation; rooms, beds, bathrooms, the pool/hot-tub (which clearly has not been working in a very long time), to list a few. However, the staff are just amazing and the location and 'bones' have a lot to offer. Gym amenities also excellent. I think if they keep some of the charm and character, and do a proper renovation, it could easily be an excellent hotel again.
