Hotel is in great location and was very clean, unfortunately it os dated and in need of updating/a refresh. Beds weren't very confortable and there was a lot of noise during the night from other residents shouting in the hallways for prolonged amounts of time. Staff at reception and breakfast were very good, helpful and polite. Breakfast quality wasn't great but view was lovely. Leisure faciliies were tired - pool cold and jacuzzi disappointingly not open.

While the accessible bedroom was very good; generally the hotel felt uncomfortable in its “renovating” state; staff were accommodating espec. Reception on Floor 1 there was a nice view of the River + Peace Bridge in Dining Room and there was a good enough selection at Breakfast; cost for 3 night stay did not reflect the inconvenience.

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.
