Alas, the rest of the staff was very helpful. We were a tad tired from our long drive and opted to eat at the hotel. The food was delicious. The room was very spacious.

Lots of room, nice furnishings, and grand views over the walls and city of Derry. The free wifi is apparently only available downstairs in the lobby area, in-room access carries a modest fee.

Very nice, classy hotel in the center of Derry…read more I came on a tour and was offered a class of Prosecco from the check in clerk ( which was an unexpected treat). Our room was air conditioned ( not all in Ireland are) and we were served well by the bartender in the evening and for breakfast. They had a nice selection of breakfast options including salmon and scrambled eggs. Good coffee, fine linens, overall a place I would return to.

We loved the accommodations at Shipquay during our stay there in Derry. Given its location within…read morethe City Walls, the Shipquay is ideal for enjoying your time in Derry. The Shipquay is located in a gorgeous Italianate-style-listed heritage building that comprises a wealth of magnificent boutique hotel rooms. Our Superior Double Room had a beautiful and comfortable king-sized bed that was stylish and sophisticated. We enjoyed the amenities, such as the walk-in shower and the castiron tub that my wife and I loved immensely. They had complimentary WiFi and robes and slippers for us to wear in the morning and at night that was quite comfortable. The restaurant on the lobby floor provided us with delicious eats for breakfast and dinner, with refreshing and tasty cocktails, all in a stylish and contemporary interior that was our speed. The hotel is close to everything for site seeing and visiting attractions. There are tons of restaurants and bars within walking distance to enjoy. And if you want to stay indoors for the night, you have the restaurant and bar or speakeasy that's on-site. There are shopping centers everywhere, including one next store if you need to pick up some clothes, souvenirs, or just want to take a gander through. Overall, this is the place to stay when in Derry, and we will do so again upon our next one.

The hotel rooms are nice but have horrible lighting. The bathroom had NO outlets & the room doesn't…read morehave any nightstand outlets for phones, etc. The front desk guy when we arrived was useless. Couldn't call us a taxi, couldn't be bothered to turn on our room keys for BOTH of the nights we stayed & answered my question about a hairdryer with another question, "is it in the drawer?" Turns out it was since you can't dry your hair or plug in ANYTHING in the bathroom. They kept the hairdryer in the dresser under the TV. MAKES SENSE RIGHT? It wasn't the best experience & who has a hotel front door without a ramp for your luggage, you get to carry your bags up a flight of stairs for the front lobby. Seriously, what was this hotel before it was a hotel? I wouldn't recommend it. It's not close to anything worth walking to & it's just poorly designed. You can hear everything & everyone through the doors so it's not recommended if you're a light sleeper or want some peace & quiet.

Located near River Foyle, I shared a room near the 20m indoor pool so my hotel window did not have…read morea view of the city. The bedrooms had a coffee maker and colour telly but I don't remember making tea. The hotel was about 19 years old but it was renovated almost three years ago.

Older hotel, but has character. Nice breakfast. But I will not return. First, pool/hot tub/ sauna…read moreclose by 8pm, so if you want a soak after a long day of sightseeing, be sure to cut it short and get back. Second issue is the staff won't let you use hot tub unless you pay 3 pounds for a swim cap. Even if you don't swim. So for me, pool, spa, hot tub, sauna all worthless.

Situated on the peninsula the hotel has breathtaking views over the water. We had opted for a waterside suite to make the most of the views and were thoroughly impressed. The room was huge and the bed even more so. Whilst some areas of the hotel were slightly tired, it appeared to have been recently updated and the main areas were beautiful. There were two bars and we opted for the lounge overlooking the water, which had table service and was much quieter than the main bar. There was a wedding on but the lounge was reserved for nonwedding guests, which was perfect. Dinner in the hotel was superb and yet again we had a table with gorgeous views, albeit it was dark soon enough. Staff were attentive and made dinner very memorable. Breakfast was your typical buffet but with a great selection and a machine that made pancakes at the push of a button! Great start to the day. I would have given the hotel 5 starts but shortly after we arrived a girl came into our rooms with towels, which I feel should have been sorted before check in (and we checked in much after the allowed time). In addition, the laundry trolley spent all day outside our room, slumped with towels etc. This is a massive pet hate of mine, especially outside the hours between check out and check in.

The towels are extra long and very fluffy. The bedding was comfortable. The only minor complaint…read moreis that there was no top sheet just the comforter. Per the hotel, the duvet covers are changed every time a new guest comes in. Hmmmmm. As for the breakfast it was adequate. A bit upset that the tomatoes were not grilled. What saved the breakfast was the whiskey that you are supposed to add to your porridge. It made an ordinary porridge an epic experience. Additionally, I wasn't opposed to also adding the whiskey to my coffee with cream. Yum!!! Didn't add the sugar-hahahaha was trying to save save calories so I could keep my svelte figure.

Beautiful hotel in Northern Ireland…read more My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night while on a CIE bus tour and I could immediately see the differences compared with the hotels we stayed in Ireland compared to Northern Ireland. Elegant long bar with a nice TV. Full bar with a beautiful bookshelf setting against the wall which makes it perfect to snap a photo with the ambiance it creates. I was really taken for a loop when I woke up for breakfast, and they had a bottle of Bushmills Irish Whisky next to the porridge! I did not indulge but how unique and wonderful that they would offer free booze with breakfast as a buffet option. Bushmills Distillery is not too far away so maybe that had something to do with it : ) They had some live music playing adjacent from the bar and the food for dinner was quality. I had the roast beef with two kinds of potatoes. One was reminiscent of potatoes au gratin but was called something else. We liked it so much we jotted down what it was called so we could look up the recipe at another time. Upon a google search here is a description of the potato side dish (It's hard to think of a side-dish more luxurious than gratin dauphinois. Not much more than thinly sliced potatoes layered with butter and cream, it's soft and luscious on the inside, with a gorgeously browned ("gratinée") crusty top that adds fabulous texture. There are also many historical sites near by which you can take a tour with a tour guide for a very small nominal fee. Highly recommend. As always people SYOY!!!!

We are getting ready to check out of our hotel room now, after we booked here last minute last night. The rooms were immaculate, and very beautifully decorated, in the Rococo style, very gilded and ornate. They offer laundry service, which was very valuable to us after travelling for a few days and running out of clean clothes. Service was first class, and felt very personal, in with the hotel and in the restaurant. Breakfast was also included in our room rate , which includes a full Irish breakfast or a continental if you are looking for something lighter. The rate was great, even for off-season and for what we got period a great value I would recommend to any traveler. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet, so we got a great night sleep.
