We arrived checked in , no issue, room no issue and then down to the pool. The pool and changing rooms like the whole place is dated and bit run down. The main issue was we sat in the bar for food at 6.45 and went to get a drink and was told someone would come and take our order. 45 mins passed and we approached staff again and our order was then taken but after waiting and hr we asked was the food nearly ready and it arrived in 5mins stone cold and soggy burger bap as if the food was ready 45mins ago and left sitting there until be asked. We did complain and speak to the manager who did get new food for us in 20mins and then we waited a further hr until plates were collected and desert order taken but never came back to clear the table and we waited a further 45mins on brownie and ice-cream and when we asked about it 2 more times it came out and the brownie was cold so all in all a terrible experience. Kust like forgotten about each time and breakfast was just ok. Wont be rushing back

Service second to none staff couldn’t have been more helpful. For a 4 star hotel the areas are not up to scratch. The swimming pool area seemed grubby and the changing area was an absolute disgrace with half the lockers not working and many without actual doors. Also there is no private areas to change which I was shocked at as not everyone likes to change in public. The fact that the towels barely fit my 10 year old in this area as well was disappointing. Our room was clean and a great size. Everything you need was there. The tables etc definitely have seen better days and in need of an update. Being from the city originally I have stayed in a few of the hotels in town and this would not be the top of my list to stay again.

I would say there is nothing unique about the city hotel, we have stayed a few times in the hotel in the past the last time being in December Unfortunately the room we stayed in is in dire need or a complete upgrade, the worst bed i have ever slept in, the bar area and the restaurant are still very good and as for the staff they couldn't do enough for you Rooms definitely need refurbished hopefully the new owners will get this sorted

Nice hotel shame about the food

We booked the breakfast, it was awful, bacon could not be cut it was so tough and the sausages were like large frankfurters. We had a meal later that night in the bar and it wasn't great either.

This property is all about the location. Rooms could do with an upgrade but you are really only there to sleep. It’s close to everything and has great views of the river foyle and peace bridge. The staff are exceptional and incredibly friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
