Emplacement parfait
Pros:

L'emplacement est parfait pour découvrir Derry. À deux pas du bogside, des remparts, du peace bridge....
Possibilité de se garer à proximité (en s'éloignant très peu du logement attention les rues juste à côté sont limitées à 1heure)
La rue Waterloo est animée (mais nous n'avons ps souffert du bruit) avec des pubs sympathiques et le Nine Hostages Coffee Co est parfait pour prendre son petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Absence de café soluble pour le petit déjeuner (nous pensions qu'il était fourni dans la cuisine) .
Dans notre chambre, la douche était soit bouillante soit gelée. Heureusement, ce n'était que pour une nuit donc nous n'avons pas cherché à faire résoudre le problème.

Pros:

Comfy and well equipt. Easy check in.

Cons:

Front door was always left open by other guests as it doesn't close on its own, got to either press the inner button or put the code back in to make it secure.
