Good hotel outside Derry

The hotel was good but a little out of the centre of Derry and had a playlist throughout the communal areas of the hotel that seemed to range from heavy metal to 1990’s. Rooms ok and overall good breakfast. It’s very much a wedding hotel so if you staying a weekend be prepared !

Fantastic Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is clean, modern and tastefully decorated. The standout factor though is the absolutely fantastic staff - every single member was friendly, helpful and accommodating. A special mention needs to go to Stephanie on reception and the barman in The Snug. Breakfast was good.

Fab staff make this hotel shine bright

Such a lovely warm welcome on arrival. Yasmin was the star for us...very friendly & went the extra mile to be kind & locate me a safety pin for a dress malfunction. Made an effort to acknowledge us each time we passed reception. Bar staff fast, efficient & attentive & 2 did the work of 5. Food lovely & recommend dinner & breakfast there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially David in the dining room and Marty in the snug. The only issues were that one room we had did have some mould on the ceiling and that the roundabout the hotel is situated on is terrible to get onto. The roundabout could really be doing with traffic lights although this is out of the hotels control. Great food and the rooms are a great size for 2.
