City Hotel Derry-in need of an upgrade.

According to some of our party the Guiness was poor.The room we stayed in was in dire need of an update and the absence of a fridge was disappointing particularly given the price of the room.The dinner on the Saturday night was very good and the waiting staff were very professional.

Less than impressed.

Food was okay, dining table rocked as we ate. We went to get our cooked breakfast and our cups etc were lifted and we returned to a virtually empty table. On reading the description of the hotel before booking we were led to believe that all other rooms except for the ground floor had been redecorated. We had stayed at the hotel about 8 years ago and it was in need of redecoration then and other than new wallpaper on one wall, the furniture had remained unchanged since then. The service was quite chaotic and we do feel that while these renovations are ongoing the price of the stay should be much cheaper. Parking your car in the basement (which is now the level of the temporary entrance to the hotel) is now £14.00 overnight as the receptionist told us on check in, although we had wondered why there were so many empty spaces. The basement carpark has now been bought over by a private company. Hilton you definitely need to make vast changes for us to stay here again!!!

The room was clean but furnitures are old and beat up. The property really need serious renovation, the entrance was closed due to on-going construction. Phone charger and outlets need an upgrade or at least provide portable plug for new tech. accessories. The staff are fantastic and very helpful, I personally feel bad that they have to work under that kind of condition, and having minimum resources to accommodate guests' simple requests

After you book a hotel you should never receive notice that it’s under major construction on the morning of your arrival. This place is in need of major Reno but needs To shut down and not do it when guests are there

While the accessible bedroom was very good; generally the hotel felt uncomfortable in its “renovating” state; staff were accommodating espec. Reception on Floor 1 there was a nice view of the River + Peace Bridge in Dining Room and there was a good enough selection at Breakfast; cost for 3 night stay did not reflect the inconvenience.

Not the best

We were disappointed with our stay here. It's certainly not a 4 star hitel as advertised. I know there are renovations taking place but this has been months. We had to enter through basememt carpark. No stair option so no way into the hotel unless you take the lift. You had to wait ages for lifts. Room was very dark, lighting very poor which made it very hard to do make up. Sheets were stained. Blind rail was hanging off the window. Tv didnt work. Paint was falling of the ceiling into the swimming pool. Trying to get the attention of someone to be seated for breakfast was impossible. They kept walking by. We just sat ourselves in the end. Plates werent lifted between courses. Just wasnt a great experience. Plus side, location is excellent

We liked the location. Staff were great, friendly, efficient & professional. We are sure, once the revamp work is completed it will be excellent. However. We were very disappointed to learn on check in that parking for residents wad £14 per day. There was no notification of parking charges when booking via Expedia.

Poor quality at the moment

Booked three rooms for a family trip - shortly after receiving my confirmation I received a separate email from the hotel advising that the ongoing work at the hotel meant that they had a temporary reception, bar area etc on the first floor and that the only access to the hotel was via the underground car park. If I had known this before I would not have made the booking. The hotel refused to cancel the booking. The place is a mess due to the ongoing work - really not happy with the situation.
