Across many reviews, Holiday Inn Express - Derry - Londonderry by IHG is praised for exceptionally friendly, helpful staff and a central, walkable location, while feedback frequently notes late-night noise from nearby bars/clubs and occasional issues with temperature control.

Cleanliness is often good, but several guests reported stained carpets, blocked sinks, unpleasant odours, or small maintenance issues.

The bedroom and bathroom were great, clean and comfortable. Staff were polite and friendly. It was unfortunate that we were not aware when booking that there was renovation work being carried out. More noise than we had expected.

Hotel was ok. Good location. But we stayed over a Saturday night and there is a club in the Kaboodle bar attached to the hotel. The music was ridiculously loud even though we were two floors up, and went on until 1am. We didn't get any sleep until it was finished. Wouldn't stay again over a weekend.

The remote for the television was missing. When reported, the staff were apologetic and tried to source another. Unfortunately it wasn't as they had no spares. When checking out our parking was validated, however when leaving the car park, the validation discount wasn't accepted and we had to pay a hefty parking bill.

We were not told that noisy renovations would be happening all day. The instructions and information regarding the parkade were poor and our ticket wasn't validated resulting in us being overcharged for parking, with no means of being refunded.

The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city. The cleanliness of the room was appalling. There were stains all over the carpet, there was what looked like coffee stains (I hope) on the bedclothes of the sofa-bed. When we pushed in the sofa-bed in the morning there was a large what looked like babysick (I hope!!!) on the sofa. Our skin was crawling. The sink was blocked so wouldn't empty out. There was a mere handful of little UHT milk containers, not enough to cool one coffee. The breakfast was really good to end on a positive note.

Had a room on the street intersection....very noisy! Air conditioning did not work so had to keep windows open which added to the noise. Was given a handicap room and was not asked id it was ok. Had to sit on the floor to dry hair in a mirror as that was the only plug and dryer cord was very short. Other guests that we were traveling with had requested a fan annd over an hour later had still not been delivered and the front desk did not answer the phone. When we went down clerk was just sitting there. Just was not a good experience. Breakfast was good.

We had a great experience at the HIE! We had a party of 7 and stayed there 3 nights. Everything was very good, clean, comfortable, and the breakfast was great. The best part, though, were the people. Luis and Karen at the bar/reception desk area were so nice and helpful, WAY above what you would normally expect. They were so pleasant to talk to and were incredibly attentive. We really enjoyed talking with them. That said the whole staff (I just don't remember all their names) were really great overall. Thank you!

Already looking at dates to return to this great hotel 👌

The area outside the hotel we did not feel super safe in. And at around 2 am we had someone violently kick out hotel room door which was very scary and unnerving for us. We were on edge the rest of the night/morning

It was ok but nothing special scrambled egg was the only type on offer seemingly and the bacon looked like it had sat too long but it was still ok enough. But not great. The staff appear to multitask which makes the service a little sparse. Staff all friendly and helpful though. Would stay there again as it’s well priced
