Impeccable little hotel. We were there on a heat wave the first day, and our room lacked central a/c, but there was a portable unit and a fan. The restaurant was outstanding, unusual for a hotel restaurant.

Met at the door by a friendly concierge who took my car to the valet parking facility. Staff at reception also very friendly and welcoming. We stayed one night and had a reservation for dinner in the Wig and Gown. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. I went for the Tomahawk steak(highly recommend this!). They stock craft beer at the bar including Barking Bishop which was nice too. The whole hotel is spotless, rooms well decorated and comfortable beds. This was my first time staying here and I will be back in the near future. Highly recommended

Conveniently located in the centre of the walled city so everything is walkable. Staff were fantastic, helpful and really made us feel welcome, including finding us an earlier eating slot. Car park just across the road, and onsite dining options most welcome on a rainy night. Beautiful high ceilinged room but no bath. 'King' bed actually two singles pushed together, and not the most comfortable. Good breakfast, but if you dont read the menu properly, you might be a bit surprised to get salmon with your eggs benedict!

Absolutely outstanding service from reception staff thru car valet bar staff waitress room service. Super clean place, dining 5 star. Cannot fault this place at all. Location is superb for city seeing. Only one down side was a bit noisy neighbours up above our apartment - but that’s not a hotel fault just lack of manners from some.

Lovely hotel, very accommodating and helpful staff. Super king bed was super comfy. Only two niggles were there was no toothpaste provided (which for a business traveler is useful to supply) and the mirror hadn’t been cleaned properly which (in a bathroom) isn’t pleasant.

Great location just inside the Walled City. Easy access to dining, touring, and entertainment. Great views of the city and direct access to Free Derry for historical context. Room was good though small--only room for one chair for two people. Hotel food was grand. Staff was personable, professional, and responsive. Off-site parking was easy--just one block across the street.

Pros: the staff downstairs are very nice. The location is good. Cons: the rooms are incredibly noisy, to the point where you cannot get a good night of sleep. We were in room 102. The walls and door to the room must be paper thin because we could hear every step and conversation in the hall and every door closing for floors in every direction as though it was next to our bed. Incredibly frustrating. When I mentioned this to the front desk, the person at reception said she’d never had any noise complaints. However, when I talked to the others in my group they too said their rooms were incredibly noisy.

From the moment we walked through that revolving door, we felt cared for. Due to a delayed flight, we were running late for a city tour. The desk staff jumped into action, a gentleman offered to park iur car and then drive us to our tour location. We dumped the luggage, changed our shirts and made it to our tour in time. The restaurant got us in for dinner earlier than our reservation and a good nights sleep followed. The mornings check out when just as well. I just cant say enough about the staffs kindness and willingness to help.
