Fabulous
Pros:

Warm welcome on arrival, glass of bubbles, staff really friendly. Lovely bar and the food and service in the restaurant were fantastic. Breakfast was exceptional, the nicest I've had in any hotel. Room was spotless and very well equipped, water, toiletries etc

Cons:

Cannot find fault, room view was onto a brick wall, however this didn't reduce enjoyment of our stay at all.

Pros:

The overall room was nice with city view. The staff was great and breakfast was also very good.

Cons:

The room has multiple windows in the room I stayed in and had roll down shades that didn’t block out all the light. There was street noise as being close to street hard not to.

Pros:

We recently celebrated our silver wedding anniversary and on arrival we were upgraded to the silver suite apparently the best in the hotel plus a glass of bubbly for all guests on arrival really makes it a personal touch. Staff are all lovely and we will definitely be back.

An absolute pleasure from beginning to End
Pros:

The Hotel was very centrally located within walking distance of almost everything. Located less than 10 mins walk from Guild Hall and Central Bus Station.

Every single member of Staff from when we first arrived at reception, to where we ate breakfast and to the girl we met on the corridor cleaning the rooms were all super friendly and efficient, tending to all our needs.

Cons:

The parking in Derry is a nightmare. Max of 1 hr in most city center locations, parking near hotel is on street parking with 1 hr max and there are plenty of traffic wardens from 9 to 5 to dish out tickets. However, we were able to pre park each day in a parking lot about 10 mins away at Bishops Gate costing 7.20 pounds per day and free overnight

Enjoyable stay. Would have no hesitation in returning
Pros:

Great location and friendly helpful staff. A minute walk to the millennium forum so was ideal for us. Pleasant restaurant and had an enjoyable dinner and breakfast

Cons:

One minor complaint. Room was a bit too warm for us. I wasn’t able to open the window during the night but did manage the following morning after some effort. Was very stiff though.

Amazing staff and service.

Wonderful stay, cant wait to come back!
Pros:

The staff were so welcoming, the room was spacious and clean, the restaurant and service outstanding and breakfast delicious. Good quality ingredients and extras like water and home made treats in room along with tea/coffee tray were welcomed.

Cons:

My only suggestion would be a lobby or area to sit during the day and relax. As the cocktail bar didn't open until 5pm there wasn't really anywhere to go except room. It would have been nice the following morning after check out to be able to sit with a coffee in a lounge or designated area.

Nettes Hotel in zentraler Lage
Pros:

Schönes Boutique Hotel innerhalb der Stadtmauer, parken deshalb ca 200m außerhalb für ca 6£ /Tag. Zimmer können mit dem Bar und Lobbybereich nicht ganz mithalten und sind eher Durchschnitt. Gutes Frühstück a la carte.

Cons:

Zimmer etwas alt und verwinkelt.
