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.

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.

We stayed 3 nights. We mostly enjoyed it and it was a comfortable stay…read more Check in (and out) was prompt and breakfast was an add-on choice, at reception, on arrival. The room was comfortable with a very good recliner chair, a desk, a table and other furnishings. There's a fan, tea/powdered coffee, kettle and a small tv. We slept very well, and despite overlooking the front of the hotel with wind blowing up the lough it was very quiet overnight. I was awoken one night and it was pitch dark; the rain violently hammered the window as it blew up off the lough. It was lovely to be snug/warm with a howling wind outside. I noted other reviewers felt this place needed a makeover but while there's some wear and tear almost everything worked and usually worked well. The exceptions being one of the two lifts was out of order the whole time (and a nuisance with covid) we had to push the lift going up button to make the down button work, the coffee machine at brekky struggled and the apple juice dispenser kept pouring juice a while after the glass filled. Gerry, the concierge, was fantastic; he looked after all our needs in every way we asked of him. We did not use the pool area at all so can't comment but where it fell off the rails a bit for us was breakfast. Day 1 it took 10 minutes to get porridge, I had to wait and go back a few times before it was made, on day 2 it was over 20 minutes. I got an apology yet day 2 was quiet compared to the previous day. The lady doling out the breakfast had said she would bring it to me but she didn't bother. I caught a passing waitress and that's what got me my porridge - apparently the 'cook' 'didn't know where I was sitting' and seemed not to try too hard to find out. I asked for croissants on day two to be told there were none, only for them to be offered 10 minutes later. The coffee machine was producing pretty poor cappuccino and the percentage of milk was tiny. I may be wrong but it struck me at breakfast that it's over staffed and under managed as no one seemed in charge nor cared very much. I'd guess focussed effective management would iron out a lot of easily avoidable issues which would benefit customers and owners. By day 3 I collared a chap in a suit with manager on his badge. He brought porridge to me in 5 minutes. It's becoming a very competitive tourism scene out there and it just be really challenging to keep any business open these days but bearing that in mind I do get irritated when I see breakfast food cooked in huge batches just for the convenience of the 'cook' and to heck with the customer. It seems most folks don't mind, that I'm the odd one out and they just fill their plates - fried potato bread is delicious but it becomes poor when drying out in a Bain Marie. Similarly oven cooked bacon is convenient for the 'cook'. There's no crispy bacon. The potato bread and bacon here were already over - cooked before they hit the Bain Marie for a few hours. Potato bread should be shallow fry cooked in very small batches for customer benefit, not dropped into deep oil. The plastic skinned, cheap, fat laden sausages and other cheap meats and battery hen eggs aren't great eats so I don't bother but to be fair buying and frying the cheapest meats/eggs isn't exclusive to this hotel, rather it's all to common. All in all a good three stars but the way the 'cook' prepared the food at breakfast, poor quality eggs and meat, factory made pancakes (when these are easy to do in house) with pre - frozen croissants/pastries convinced us not to dine-in at lunch and dinner and if we were here for a few days in better weather we'd go out for breakfast too.

A sign hangs outside this hotel that says "4 Star Rated".... Yeah right! Maybe out of a 20 point…read morerating system. Who gives out these ratings? On our tour of Ireland this was by far the worst hotel on our trip. In all fairness, the location is pretty nice. It's located on the river, only a few steps from the Pease Bridge and maybe a block or so from the inner city. That's where the good things end! The hotel is old and the amenities are poor or nonexistent. Where do I start? No refrigerator, only two plugs in the room which are located far away from the bed. The beds are hard and uncomfortable and the pillows suck (flat and hard)! No air conditioning and the TV is tiny. Instead of A/C there is a fan in the room. Food on the breakfast buffet ran out fast and took a long time to restock. And the service was in no hurry to get anything. Entertainment in the bar area was comically bad. I actually thought that it was karaoke when we walked in and sat down!

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.

It was transformed into a 20-room hotel in 1991 by Patsy O'Kane and her brother, Seamus Donnelly. Ten more rooms were added in 2000. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The room we stayed in contained a king bed that seemed 50 percent wider than a standard king. Staff members were friendly and the hotel Ardmore restaurant served excellent food in a fine dining atmosphere. The hotel is located on a quiet road off a major highway on the east side of Derry and contains several acres of trees and walking paths. I highly recommend it.

I had booked Beech Hill Country House which is a stunning Georgian house, with 30 bedrooms and suites, based at Ardmore Road. I had booked a classic double room for my mum and a superior room (as it included both a king size as well as a single bed) for my sister and I, but on arrival were delighted to receive two superior rooms beside each other with adjoining door! A lovely touch. The rooms were huge, warm and comfortable and we were looking forward to relaxing in them later that evening. (I later found out that each room in the hotel looks different as they have all been individually restored, so different décor, paints, fabrics etc) But before we relaxed in our rooms, it was down to the bar for a few drinks and dinner! It was a cold evening so we parked up right in front of the fire- bliss! In fact, we didn't leave and decided to have our dinner right there. The Beech Hill is famed for its food and a number of people remarked to me that I would enjoy it when I mentioned I was staying there. The next morning we went down for breakfast and were impressed with both the cooked and continental selection- with all three of us having a bit of both! After breakfast, we walked round and explored the grounds. The hotel has different trials, with 32 acres of woodland and gardens. During our walk I was so impressed to learn about the history of the site. In June 1941, the United States constructed a naval base on the Foyle, named 'Base One Europe'. It remained the US Navy's main centre of operations in Europe until June 1944. The Beech Hill Country House Hotel provided the location for one the main accommodation camps and we couldn't believe a hut was still in place. Fascinating! Overall I had a brilliant night, particularly the comfortable rooms and amazing history
