Brilliant Stay at Shipquay
Pros:

We spent 2 nights at the Shipquay. We can honestly say that we had a great stay. It is right in the centre of Derry and we were able to walk to everything. Our room was very clean and comfortable. There were tea coffee and hot chocolate making facilities available in the room with the nice touch of them supplying fresh milk by calling reception. The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Lisa who gave us lots of tips on what to do and was always friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was top class. Breakfast was served to your table. There was a great choice and again delicious. We would recommend this hotel

Cons:

There was nothing we didn't like

A great boutique hotel in a great location with great staff!
Pros:

Room was very clean and comfortable with a great view of the Guildhall. The location is old city center within the walls. Walkable to everything. Breakfast and dinner was excellent!

Cons:

Breakfast doesn't start until 8am (we are early risers). Parking is in a public lot that is a few blocks away.

Pros:

Location very central, staff friendly and helpful, room was clean. Loved the complimentary Prosseco on arrival.

Cons:

Was a tad noisy, could hear music clearly from the bar below which wasnt ideal, but given location some noise was to be expected, and what sounded like chairs being moved across the floor in dining room in the morning.
