This property is undergoing an extensive renovation however, there is no excuse for dirty cutlery and no attempt to replace when pointed out. Also coffee brought no milk no condiments on the table. Waitress just seem disinterested. I know it’s going through a refurb but they could try and show a bit of warmth to guests. Also bar service quite slow and no urgency to serve waiting guests. Should be transparent on £14 parking fee when making booking.

Served its purpose

We stayed 1 night when in Derry for a wedding. The hotel is extremely dated, although undergoing renovations as recently taken over by Hilton’s Doubletree brand. Our room was large and served its purpose but overall not terribly soundproof leading to a disturbed nights sleep from children being left to run wild up and down the corridor. Contributing to the poor nights sleep was the uncomfortable bed and pillows. Breakfast was a good offering in a room that will be lovely once renovated.

Had I known in advance of confirming the booking that renovation work was being done, and sawing and hammering would start at 7:30 in the morning, I would not have stayed here. A complimentary drink on offer didn’t compensate for the annoyance.

Family stay 2 adults 2 kids not to happy with room

The food and staff was so amazing no fault there. It was £14 to stay in there under ground carpark which i believe should have been free as we paid a lot for the room. The hotel room itself was very extremely dated. It couls definately do with a freshen up. It had no fridge or no water for the kettle. We were there on a birthday trip and we were so dissapointed with the room. My son loves a bath as we jave a shower at home so when away he loves a we bath and it was not possible as the bath and tiles were all mouldy. The hotle is situated fantastic in the middle of everything right beside guild hall and all the shopping centres etc so location is brilliant. Location, food drink and staff is fab pity about the hotel room such a let down.

Under renovations, which was not properly highlighted before we booked. The service at breakfast time was very poor and the coffee was lukewarm at best. Very disappointing breakfast. Bar service was poor as well. Facilities was very good though just a pity about the coffee in the morning

We booked into this property , we were not told in booking that renovation work was being carried out which was very inconvenient. You had to access hotel via underground car park . Air con/heating system in room did not work first night was positively cold despite a spell of good weather a heater was provided . The water for showering was cold/ lukewarm. . Understaffed second morning of breakfast I actually went and lifted pot of coffee tea for myself and sisters . The hotel is run down and needs a face lift . Staff did not address my concerns hotel in process of changing ownership and no one really taking accountability. On departing lots of people standing around waiting on lifts . Staff walking through people I had to stop and ask where are the stairs no signed . Lots of people did take stairs and it helped dispersed crowd at lift and in limited reception area . Overall I would not recommend this hotel . Pool is only advantage it has in comparison to other hotels in area .
