Londonderry Apartments

Very good location staff very helpful had there own carpark and very convenient to all the shops bars and restaurants

The Everglades Hotel is located on the outskirts of Derry/Londonderry, making it less convenient for those relying on public transport or hoping to walk to and from the city centre, especially after enjoying the vibrant bar scene. However, once you arrive, don't let the aging exterior deter you—despite its dated appearance, the hotel is surrounded by well-maintained gardens that hint at the care given to the property. Stepping inside, you're greeted with the plush and luxurious ambiance expected of a 4-star hotel. The interior boasts a traditional yet modern design, tastefully blending timeless elegance with updated fixtures and fittings. We visited for the New Year’s Eve celebrations, which were enhanced by the beautifully maintained Christmas decorations, including a stunning central tree in the lobby. The staff were welcoming and professional throughout our stay, accommodating our request for a room change with ease. It's worth noting that some rooms appear to be more updated than others, so experiences may vary. Our upgraded ground-floor room was beautifully designed with a king-sized bed, a cozy seating area, and a window seat. Unfortunately, the view overlooked the main road, requiring curtains to remain closed for privacy. A sheer curtain option would have been a nice touch to allow light in without compromising privacy. Rooms on the opposite side of the corridor had limited views as well, facing a brick wall. Standard amenities were provided, including tea/coffee facilities, a large TV, Bluetooth speaker, iron, vanity area, complimentary water, and high-speed internet (120 Mbps). While the room felt modern and luxurious, the bathroom did not quite match the same standard. One unique aspect of the hotel was the continued use of traditional single-use toiletries instead of fixed dispensers, accompanied by signage warning guests against taking them to avoid additional charges. While this appears to be part of an eco-conscious effort, it did feel a bit at odds with the hotel’s otherwise polished presentation. We prepaid for breakfast at check-in to benefit from a reduced rate and enjoyed the standard options of hot and cold offerings. However, the quality of the ingredients was underwhelming, and we chose to dine elsewhere on our second morning. For the NYE celebrations, the hotel hosted live music acts in the central lobby and bar area, creating a lively atmosphere. However, a few small details could have improved the experience—lighting the fireplace would have added warmth, and the musician, unfortunately, sang through midnight without acknowledging the countdown, leaving guests to celebrate the New Year on their own initiative. Dining in the bar restaurant yielded mixed results. While some dishes were enjoyable, others were either overcooked or overly seasoned, perhaps due to the challenges of catering to a larger crowd on New Year’s Eve with the Grill Restaurant function.. In summary, the Everglades Hotel offers a range of experi

Das Hotel ist etwas veraltet, aber die Betten sind bequem und die Zimmer sind sauber. Es gibt eine gewisse Entfernung vom Stadtzentrum, die für selbstfahrende, bequeme Parkplätze geeignet ist. In der Nähe der Kathedrale gibt es ein chinesisches Restaurant mit dem Auto. Der Preis ist nicht billig, aber der Geschmack ist gut. Ein chinesischer Kellner kann Ihnen bei der Bestellung helfen.

Our second stay in Bishops Gate and certainly didn’t disappoint.Smooth checkin and car taken to secure parking.Suitcase brought up to our room and coats hung up whilst we had a drink by the fire.Everything we needed in the beautiful room with bottled water,wine and chocolates!We had booked for 2 nights with 1 evening meal ,however the food was so good in the dining room we decided to dine there for the second evening.Another beautiful meal and breakfast was excellent.We we’re so glad that the hotel accommodated us for an extra night for a very reasonable rate which included breakfast,dinner,secure parking and 2 glasses of Prosecco.Whilst the hotel clearly deserves its 5 stars with its luxurious rooms and public areas it has a quiet relaxed atmosphere which we love.The jewel in the hotels crown is undoubtedly the staff.There’s no evidence of hierarchy as everyone works together and supports each other so well resulting in first class customer service,second to none.Thanks for another lovey stay and hope to see you all very soon.Brendan and Eleanor.Armagh

Zwei Zimmer waren gut, aber die Dusche war klein und der Duschekopf hätte mit einem sauberen gemacht werden können. Rezeption und Bar/Restaurant war angenehmen. Ich blieb hier als Teil einer Trainerreise. Ich glaube, das Hotel versprach Dinge, die sie nicht liefern konnten! Frühstück war Buffetstil und kalt. Die Dinge liefen schnell aus, aber es dauerte so lange, bis wir aufgegeben hatten. Abendessen war nicht viel besser. Menü mit zwei Wahlen und wiederholen jeden Abend. Es war ziemlich schmecklich mit Maschenkartoffeln, Schweden und Karotten jeden Abend. Ich bat um Chips eine Nacht und bot an, zu zahlen. Am Ende legte der Manager eine Schachtel Chips auf jeden Tisch - Ergebnis. Service war erschreckend. Eines Abends hatte ich meine Hühner und Masse gegessen, bevor die Gemüse ankommen. Fast 3 Stunden für unser Essen. Die Leute ließen sich gerade verlassen. Unser Fahrer sprach mit dem Manager und der Rezeption, um sich über den Service zu beschweren und war versichert, dass es korrigiert werden würde - es war nicht. Es scheint, dass wir als zweite Klasse Bürger behandelt wurden, weil wir auf einem Trainer waren. Menschen, die das Al-A-Carte-Menü bestellen, wurden zuerst serviert. Nicht akzeptabel. Ich hoffe, dass die Trainergesellschaft sie nicht wieder verwenden wird.

Lovely hotel lovely staff have stayed here a few times
