I’d stay again in a heartbeat.
Pros:

The hotel was very central to shops and the Millennium Forum which we were going to that evening. The greeting at reception from Brendan and Brooke was lovely, the bubbles were a lovely gesture!! The staff couldn’t have been any nicer and we had a first class service experience. Breakfast was good, dinner they evening tasty and plentiful and the bed super comfy, the room nice and cosy and not a bit of noise .. bliss !!

Cons:

The bathroom needed as towel rail for hand towels, I wasn’t a fan of the draping from the bathroom cabinet. There was also a big black stain on the back of my toilet when we arrived and no toilet brush to clean it. I know it’s a former bank but I didn’t like the pillar in our room but that’s just being picky.

Lovely Spring Break in Derry.
Pros:

My wife and I had a lovely one day Spring Break at the Shipquay Hotel. On arrival we were given a class of prosecco and upgraded to a bigger room.
We had a beautiful dinner in the restaurant with excellent service throughout.
The next morning the breakfast was really good with everything brought to you by very attentive staff.
Whilst in the room we had particulary nice cups of tea because fresh milk was brought up to our room from reception. A really nice touch.
Overall we had a great time. All the staff were most friendly and we would certainly go back.

A wonderful second stay
Pros:

We must extend our gratitude to everyone at Shipquay for our recent stay celebrating our wedding anniversary. Megan handled the booking over the phone, and she was extremely kind and helpful. On arrival we were warmly greeted by Lisa. She was so friendly and welcoming and the prosecco was a wonderful touch. We enjoyed a lovely chat with her. Receiving an upgraded room made the occasion even more special. The room was spacious and beautifully appointed. The dining staff and barman were lovely and sociable. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast.
Shipquay Hotel is a gorgeous boutique hotel. Being so central makes it a wee gem! It is close to two shopping centres, a delightful craft village, the Millennium Forum, the Guild Hall, numerous museums and great cafés. This was our second time staying there and it most definitely will not be our last!

Enjoyable.
Pros:

The location of the hotel, it was right in the heart of the city.
The food was excellent as was the service at the bar, with prices being reasonable.
Above all was the friendliness of all the staff throughout the hotel, they just couldn't do enough to help us during our stay.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Derry Coty.

Cons:

The weather.

A hidden gem!
Pros:

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and service at the hotel. It was 5 star from start to finish. Staff were second to none helping with recommendations and couldn’t do enough for us. The location is great and the little touches like prosecco on arrival and water in the room make all the difference. A fantastic breakfast was the icing on the cake. Definitely recommend.
