Pros:

This hotel was lovely, very friendly staff, food was great, the beds very comfortable, room was lovely, we had a shower with a waterfall head. The location was quiet enough for a city. Very happy with our choice

Cons:

The hotel was a little outside the main streets, however taxis were very cheap, and it was a nice walk. Roads were very busy though, so pedestrian crossing was a Godsend

Parfait pour une pause à Derry
Pros:

Le confort et la tranquilité, les infrastructures neuves suite à rénovation. Le grand parking très pratique.

Cons:

Rien de particulier, peut-être un peu plus de choix sucré pour le petit déjeuner et ce serait parfait

Angenehmer Aufenthalt für eine Zwischenübernachtung
Pros:

Wir haben hier eine Nacht auf der Durchreise verbracht und waren insgesamt zufrieden.
Zimmer & Lage:
Unser Zimmer im Erdgeschoss war angenehm groß, sehr modern eingerichtet und bot reichlich Stauraum für unser Gepäck. Da es direkt am Weg zum Innenhof lag, blickte man vom Fenster aus leider nur auf eine Mauer. Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums, was für eine sehr ruhige Nacht gesorgt hat.
Ausstattung & Verpflegung:
Im Haus gibt es ein Café, eine Bar und ein Restaurant, was sehr praktisch ist. Das Frühstücksbuffet bot das klassische Angebot und ließ geschmacklich keine Wünsche offen.
Service & Fazit:
Das gesamte Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für einen kurzen Zwischenstopp ist das Da Vinci’s eine absolut solide und empfehlenswerte Wahl.

Cons:

Einzig die Atmosphäre im separaten Frühstücksraum wirkte etwas steril.
