I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were equipped with a cool movie option, which was a great way to entertain kids. However, the decor seemed a bit outdated. Being located right above a Tesco convenience store was convenient. The hotel's proximity to music was enjoyable, but the overall experience was somewhat diminished by the noise.

The service at the hotel was top-notch. The staff were extremely friendly and pleasant, very highly recommended. They were so helpful with everything we needed and even handed out treats to my little girl every time we passed by. However, there was a minor incident where one staff member argued with us for a while even though he was in the wrong.

The dining experience was haphazard to say the least. Although the food was tasty, it was a bit cold, and the plates were very small, reminiscent of a saucer.

The hotel rooms could do with an update, but they were very clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect for walking around the city and over the Peace bridge, although not suitable for relaxation due to live and loud music. The service maintained a high standard overall, with warm and friendly staff. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some dishes not meeting expectations. The best thing about the hotel was the excellent location that offered easy access to the city center and North Coast.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a comfortable bed and plenty of wardrobe space, although lacking air conditioning which may not be a big issue in Irish weather. The nighttime warmth could be a concern. The service was a mix of professional and not so friendly encounters, with some staff being less customer-oriented. The location is superb for city exploration and access to bars and restaurants, but parking might be a challenge. The dining experience ranged from great with a good selection to poor with limited options and tasteless choices. Overall, the location and room comfort stood out positively against service and dining issues.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were very comfortable and spacious with a breath-taking view over the river, although a bit dimly lit. The service was top-notch, with all staff members being so friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The location was excellent, with plenty of good restaurants nearby, although a bit crowded at times. The dining experience was slightly disappointing with small plates, but the juicy steaks made up for it. Overall, great value for money!

I stayed at the hotel and had a mixed experience. The room was only marginally better than expected in size, but unfortunately lacked cleanliness with dusty chairs and marked curtains. The location was excellent and central to amenities, but the standard was poor due to a nearby car park charge. The service was fantastic, especially the gentleman at the reception who was excellent in sanitizing. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with freezing food in the room but a lovely dish served as requested with friendly service.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was ideal for exploring Derry city, being near the city walls and Peace Bridge. The rooms, although clean, needed some maintenance work. The service was top-notch, with the staff making us and our little one feel very welcome.
