Solid Stay in Derry

convenient location friendly staff wide selection useful bar
The location proved quite convenient for exploring the city centre. I found the staff consistently friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The breakfast buffet included a wide selection of tasty options. (I particularly enjoyed the pastries.) The hotel offered a bar with food options, useful when I preferred to dine in.
The bus stop located directly outside the hotel sometimes made entering feel a bit crowded.
Rooms
9/10
My room included a big tv, a bonus for me. The bathroom was well-stocked with Dove products. (I am a big fan of those.) the room offered a lovely view of the street.
Service

The staff demonstrated efficiency, resolving a query I had quickly. They were very cute. It was clear that nothing was too much trouble for them, and this was consistent throughout my stay.

The breakfast was disappointing. i found the quality to be quite poor. the taste suggested inexpensive ingredients. i suggest skipping it entirely and exploring local cafes instead. They likely offer a better breakfast experience.
