Hotel is in great location and was very clean, unfortunately it os dated and in need of updating/a refresh. Beds weren't very confortable and there was a lot of noise during the night from other residents shouting in the hallways for prolonged amounts of time. Staff at reception and breakfast were very good, helpful and polite. Breakfast quality wasn't great but view was lovely. Leisure faciliies were tired - pool cold and jacuzzi disappointingly not open.

City Hotel Derry-in need of an upgrade.

According to some of our party the Guiness was poor.The room we stayed in was in dire need of an update and the absence of a fridge was disappointing particularly given the price of the room.The dinner on the Saturday night was very good and the waiting staff were very professional.
