4.0 / 10.0
Convenient to check in and out. Close to shops and restaurants.
Our room was at the front of the property facing the street and it was incredibly busy with large crowds on the streets right up until 6am. There was lots of shouting and bottles smashing. By the time the last of the crowd left the streets, the lorry's and trucks arrived to clear out pub bottles and sweep the streets so unfortunately no sleep was got at this location. The other guests were also quite loud, knocking on doors and in and out of the front door on multiple occasions. There was a young couple who entered the property who we do not believe has a room, we called the contact number but did not get an answer leading us to believe the property was not very secure. It was not a good stay and I would not recommend based on the above experience.

Location was good
There was people doing cocaine on the communal kitchen table and a half naked man passed out upstairs in front of one of the rooms. Did not feel safe at all

Central location, good communication from owner, comfortable and clean room
Had to ask for a second towel to be provided (it came the next morning) and woke up on the final morning to no hot water (although this could have been a wider area issue)

Excellent location central to the town. Clean, bright and airy with good bathroom. Handy shared kitchen with glasses, cutlery and cooking facilities.
It’s in the midst of everything so it is noisy.

Very high quality place to stay and very clean.
Due to the location (and maybe thin walls), a lot of street noise was noticeable. However I would still stay here again should the occasion arise.

Comfy beds, central location and clean room
Very loud outside, loud inside, thin walls and doors. Didn't manage to get much sleep due to the location being on the main strip of pubs. Great location if you're wanting to be out and a part of the nightlife, but not great for a rest.
No towels available on our first day, which wasn't ideal after travelling and wanting to freshen up. Contact with the owner was difficult to resolve issues, but speedy to fix when we got through.
One of the plug socket casings had completely come away from the wall with no screws securing it.

Nothing. Standards of cleanliness and hygiene totally unacceptable.

Good kitchen facilities. Room was pleasant and clean. Did the job for a rather last minute overnight stay.
The location, whilst very handy to the city centre, is very near bars and restaurants and so it was very loud until about 1/2am. Didn't help that one of the windows in our room was stuck open.

The bed was comfortable. Great location if you’re into the bar scene and want to party in that area and just need a place to pass out.
No elevator. Extreme noise from Bar scene outside. Bathroom was super small. Shower was confusing. No plug ins by the bedside table. WiFi didn’t work, TV didn’t work because WiFi didn’t work.

It was very clean, and check in was all remote with a door code and lock box and worked fine. Location was close to city centre, and served the purpose of a simple and clean place.
Our room looked out on a busy street with numerous pubs. We stayed on a Saturday night and this was the loudest hotel/ B&B I have ever stayed in. Very loud revelers with shouting and screaming (and music, car engine revving) directly under our windows and until 3 a.m.) Our traveling companions’ room looked out the back and was much better.

Excellent location and accommodation with friendly staff.
Problems at arrival. As far as i am aware, i didn't receive email with codes to access property. Rang for assistance. Lady I spoke to insisted details were sent and resulted in anxious discussion in order to gain access. Lady refused to give her name.

Location was perfect. No parking attached to property, but no problem parking on street beside accommodation.
Common area was clean and tidy. Large fridge available for use.
Bed linen looked unclean. Visible make up and mascara stains on duvet cover. Sheet and pillow case did look clean.
Was informed that linen is changed after each guest, which would be expected of course, but this did not appear to be clean.
Unfortunately could not consistently get hot water from shower.
Small bathroom, but not a major issue. Would benefit from some hooks on wall or door to hand towel / clothing in bathroom.
7.0 / 10.0
Location excellent, very central. Accommodation looked recently renovated and very clean. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom facilities good, plenty of toilet roll. Good sockets. Small kitchen area down corridor.
TV turned on but no TV stations programmed. No shelves or table to put anything on. One tiny table to share with lamp between 2 people. No towel rack or anywhere to hang towels or robe when using bathroom. When I booked the facilities did not mention small communal kitchen area available down the corridor, and that there was a hairdryer for communal use in the kitchen, could have saved me carrying items.

Liked the fact that you can easily walk to all the main attractions in Derry. The bed was so comfy and nice shower. It was nice to have a kitchen to make a cuppa in. Easy checkin too.

All very easy and the staff was great to communicate with. I even got the early check in I asked for.
The location was handy but right next to a bunch of pubs and bars. It was loud till early morning. However, I recognise it's out of the control of the lodge.

Very central. Comfortable beds. Newly decorated and nice decor.
We had the room beside the shared kitchen so was a little loud when other guests were coming in late at night.

Not much
I was very disappointed in the booking 😔
It was basically a bed to sleep in. When I arrived I was quite shocked at the venue as it looked like a shop front. A small room, no facilities in the room , no tea or coffee facilities, had to go down to next level to a kitchen with kettle, tea and coffee but no milk etc.
It was not a nice place at all and felt like I was in a hostel, nearly 90 pounds for this and my friends booked a place for the same price which was beautiful, I'm totally disgusted at this accommodation

The location was perfect for the Derry jazz festival.
And on reading previous reviews on it being noisy . I was pleasantly surprised to find that the double glazed windows blocked out all of the street sounds.
Whilst there was a communal kitchen which was great to have ..it would have been good to have a microwave in it . And would be a good idea to have mini fridges in the bedroom as our sandwiches that we put in the main fridge where nicked !! Disappointing when you are looking forward to a late night snack .. but no big deal . I hope they were enjoyed .
A small minor detail. For such a lovely room a suggestion to changing the toilet brush in room 6 ..very rusty and takes away from an otherwise well maintained room with a great view of the street below .
