Fodor's Review:

The only hotel within Derry city's historic walls, this modern and comfortable hotel has more to offer than its unequaled location. Rooms are decorated in vibrant shades of red and blue, with pine furnishings and well-stocked bathrooms. The sleek oak-wood bar, with its low-hanging lights, is a favorite watering hole with locals as well as visiting guests. The bistro-style restaurant has won plenty of kudos, and the location is primo—just check out the view of the Bogside and the "Free Derry" corner from the upper bedrooms and the fourth-floor gym. Pros: top-notch location for exploring Derry's walls, sights, shops, and idiosyncrasies; practical, clean, and tastefully decorated rooms with modern facilities. Cons: parking is a problem; guests have complained of lack of hot water in rooms.
