Hotel berhampiran Derry Girls Hangout, Londonderry

Myself and my partner stayed for one night and we had the best experience from checking in to checking out. Sorcha was extremely friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay even better. The room was so spacious and I've never stayed in a cleaner room, not as much as a spec of dust to be seen. The bed was so comfortable and so big. The shower was fantastic. One of the best nights sleep I have had in a hotel. We ordered room service for breakfast and it was absolutely deliciou, the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The girl who delivered it to the room was extremely polite and very pleasant. Finally on check out Sorcha & Rachael were so friendly, lovely and polite. I would definitely recommend my family and friends to stay here and we will be returning for sure.

Bel endroit à proximité du centre ville et la salle de spectacle St Columbs Hall . Merci à Emmet pour son chaleureux accueil. À bientôt pour une nouvelle visite de Londonderry et un passage au Lawrence

(Room: 209) Stayed here for two nights to visit Londonderry, the hotel was busy but welcoming and our room comfortable. However, sadly realised we were facing a main road and the traffic noise was constant which affected our sleep and we were unable to have the window open due to this which made the room stuffy. We were a disappointed with the restaurant as although the meals were satisfactory, they were not great as we had experienced in hotels of the same chain. The staff, although mostly helpful and attentive, seemed inexperienced (younger staff) and we had great difficulty on one evening getting the bill correct (3 attempts). The breakfasts in the restaurant were poor, the cooked selection was luke warm and the continental did not look fresh at all. Overall, disappointed and will not be returning. Compared to other hotels in the Hastings chain e.g. Ballygally Castle Hotel.

We booked this for two nights at the end of our minimoon exploring the Causeway coast - what we were hoping for was a calming spa retreat in a peaceful setting, what we got was more family fun camp, as a result we came away quite downhearted about it, but if you're looking for a family getaway it would be perfect. (I don't think it helped we had stayed in some amazing places in the preceding days, and arriving here didn't compare) On arrival, no staff were around to check us in and we had to wait quite a long time. The greeting we then got was very business-like and grumpy, rather than friendly and welcoming. We had treated ourselves for our minimoon and booked a suite, which was spacious, but felt dated and in need of a serious refresh - in particular the bathroom - and was very hot. There were no nice extras or finishing touches. In the corridors there were kids running around unattended everywhere. We ate in the Coach House Brasserie both nights, we'd describe it as average. Breakfast was served in Courtyard restaurant, and was exactly what you would expect from a hotel breakfast - perfectly acceptable (though some staff were grumpy and rude) Our main reason for staying at the resort was the Spa, we were hoping for a relaxing end to our minimoon. On arrival at the spa things were looking good, while it was smaller than anticipated, we had the place to ourselves (though the steam room was out of action)...turned out that was only because it was lunchtime. It was soon filled with lots of children, again unattended, splashing and screaming and was the complete opposite of relaxing to the point we actually had to get up and leave. We appreciate it may have been the start of the school holidays, and families need to have somewhere to go, particularly in the rain, but if the pool is open to families, it doesn't feel right to be selling it as a spa, it's just a family splash pool. Also worth saying that young kids were using the jacuzzi and sauna without adult supervision which could be very dangerous. Maybe it would be worth having ”family times” and ”adult only times” to help alleviate this? We did end on a mini-high, as we had booked massages - both of our experiences with the treatment rooms/staff were great and we couldn't fault them, so big well done to that team :) Checking out we had a letter under the door advising us to pay on way to breakfast because of how busy it gets, so we did, then when we checked out later (when it was supposedly very busy) there were 4-6 staff behind the desk and not another customer to be seen...odd.
