At Shipquay Boutique Hotel, travellers consistently praise the exceptionally friendly, helpful staff, central walled-city location, and standout breakfast and restaurant, with thoughtful touches like prosecco on arrival making this stylish boutique stay feel welcoming and special.
Rooms are often comfortable and sometimes spacious, but several guests report heat from limited or absent air conditioning, occasional street noise or poor views, and a few layout or maintenance quirks. Cleanliness is generally high across bedrooms and bathrooms, though a handful mention worn areas or an unclean spot. Parking is offsite and the steep hill can be challenging with luggage, which some found inconvenient. A characterful, central boutique stay with excellent service and food, best for those prioritising hospitality and location over onsite parking and guaranteed cooling.

The Shipquay Hotel is an elegant boutique hotel with a great location within the city walls of Derry. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The onsite restaurant serves great food, and there is also a bar in the Lower Ground Floor. Due to its location, there is no onsite parking, but there is free street parking nearby overnight, and the nearby parking lots are really cheap for daytime parking while you do the sights.

An amazing stay at the shipquay boutique hotel. Staff were so lovely and the location is so central. It was so good we decided to stay an extra night. The restaurant breakfast was fabulous and the cocktails from the bar were beautiful. Only issue was the shower was a little broken but still fully functional . Highly recommend!

Only issue was parking; there is no parking at the hotel, only at public parking lots. After circling the parking lot for 10-15 minutes, I was fortunate to find a car leaving a space just in time for my entrance.

The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful with everything from parking suggestions to local bars and events. The room was very clean and well appointed. The bed was great and the bathroom was very clean and bright. The restaurant was very good, as was the bar. Attentive but not in-your-face staff made the experience that much better. A welcome Prosecco each morning and on arrival we’re a nice added touch. Would definitely recommend the Shipquay to everyone. Within the walled city and close to everything. Well done!

I had been looking forward to staying here and it was cute, and the dining was good, but honestly the room wasn't very clean. I am not usually too particular about complaining about cleanliness in hotels, but there was cream or product smeared on the light switches, the glass on the picture in the room was broken, and overall, it just dampened the experience. The room was also very cold and the window had been left open. The treats and prosecco were a nice touch, and the reception staff was lovely.

Staff very friendly, room had bottled water and robes and toiletries provided which was great. We had a top floor room so had to duck under the sloping roof! Shower was very good, hot and decent water pressure. Food and service in the bar Lock and Quay was great. Didn’t feel super safe in all areas surrounding the hotel, mainly due to a few unfriendly pubs and knowing not everyone in town likes Brits!

This should have been great but it wasn’t. We had to switch rooms because the room was unbearably hot with no ventilation & no air. We were put in a lower cost room with no refund & the worst bed, you could feel the springs in the bed. Apparently only some rooms have air & there are fans but they didn’t even know there were. Poor service poor conditions & when informed, little concern. Other rooms were nice but we didn’t have a good experience

Their effort makes a huge difference in the guest experience. The hotel's restaurant was excellent in the food preparation (the fish dishes are superb), the prices are reasonable and the staff is attentive. The room/bed is comfortable. The location is great in the heart of the walled city. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Week before our stay we received a courtesy call from Brendan regarding parking etc. Thought this was a lovely touch. On arrival at the hotel we were early for check-in and hoped to drop off our luggage. Mairead at reception advised that our room was ready and could check-in. We were delighted. We were then told we got an upgrade and offered a glass of bubbly. Food, cocktails and staff were excellent. Had a fantastic stay and will definitely return and recommend to others.

The room and restaurant were both stylish and beautiful. They also both had nice extras that made me feel like a valued guest. The restaurant served an exceptional dinner and breakfast. The staff was welcoming and very helpful with local knowledge. HIGHLY recommend.

A really nice hotel with super amazing staff. A couple of small points about the room. Having to phone reception for fresh milk is not at all convenient plus a small tray in the shower would not go amiss. The restaurant was disappointing given how high your expectations had been raised. The egg on the Boxty starter was soft boiled and definitely not poached. The Lamb was full of grizzle and very over cooked plus we were not offered a desert menu. My wife’s food was perfect so I just had an unlucky night.

Excellent service both at the desk and at the breakfast table. Breakfast and lunch menu was excellent. Wonderfully situated within the walls of the old city...full of history! Only issue was parking; there is no parking at the hotel, only at public parking lots. After circling the parking lot for 10-15 minutes, I was fortunate to find a car leaving a space just in time for my entrance.

Glasses of bubbly on our arrival. Staff very attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The food was very good quality and breakfast was served to our table ( not buffet style). All areas of the hotel were very clean and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. We would recommend a stay in this hotel for someone looking for a bit of quality and relaxation

This hotel is so beautiful and comfortable, not to mention perfectly located near all the points of interest in Derry. The breakfast was delicious as well. All of the staff were extremely pleasant and professional. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Derry.

Our room was bright and looked out over Shipquay, the main street, lots of natural light. That gave a little street noise at night, but not bad. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions on where to eat in town. Parking (paid) is a short walk up the hill.
