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 really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. We were in a non smoking room overlooking the lough and…read morethe gentle hills and we had easy access to the pool area from our room. Our son, wife and grandkids were adjacent to us in a family room. The rooms are large with some furnishings and a tv. All the staff we met were friendly with an easy way about them, and they took time to chat with us and play with the kids. They served all of us very well indeed throughout our stay. We had one late night disaster in our room, courtesy of one of our grandkids, which was dealt with in a timely and sympathetic way. Our 3 night package included daily breakfast & 3 evening meals. Evening main menus changed nightly but the sweet menu did not. That said, there were plenty of great desserts to choose from. The dining room was on the 1st floor overlooking the lough and used for breakfast and dinner. The food served at evening meal time was mostly quite good with decent portions but if I were in the kitchen I'd add some more cream to some sauces, like the pepper sauce and the garden pea sauce, just to make them more luxurious and smooth, after all a little bit of luxury is lovely when your on holidays and I can't be doing with all this stuff about cutting out cream, butter, salt and so on; just enjoy this stuff in moderation. The breakfast selections too was good. The croissants were really moreish along with beautiful little mini French cheeses. Breakfast was mostly serve yourself except for kippers, boiled & poached eggs, with staff bringing coffee & tea. I'm not a big fan of sausage, bacon & eggs in hotels as most hotels - even more up market ones - buy battery hen eggs and low quality sausage and bacon, which usually are too high in cheap fat so I opted for kippers each morning which took 20 minutes to cook to order. I think that hotels are missing a trick by not using their buying power more effectively to buy free range eggs and better quality bacon & sausage meats and making a big deal out of it on their websites & menus. I guess they would get positive reactions from guests too particularly modern parents who are keen to ensure that their kids have better quality produce. I tried the porridge and being old school I added salt to taste which completely transformed the flavour. No wonder chefs say salt is the most important ingredient in cooking and again its sensible to take salt in moderation as just like fat the human body can't do without it. The steam & sauna rooms are first class as is the jacuzzi. The grandkids loved the pools too. All in all we were truly relaxed here and we've promised ourselves to return to relax some more and explore much more of what the road signs in the area call 'Amazing Grace' country. I can't argue with that. On balance it's a 5 star.

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.
