Review summary

Powered by AI
Shipquay Boutique Hotel enjoys a superb location within Derry's walled city, making it easy to visit local sights. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms and comfortable beds, with some even receiving complimentary bubbles on arrival. The on-site restaurant is a highlight, particularly the breakfast, though some have noted that rooms can be on the smaller side. A good choice is available for breakfast and it is served at the table.

The breakfast included a complimentary Buck's Fizz, a nice touch.
I was disappointed with the room assigned to me. It was a wheelchair access room, though I had not requested one. The bathroom sink was very low. I would have appreciated being informed about this at check-in, so I could.

adequate stay, some issues noted

steep hillinadequate lighting
The location was a bit challenging. the hotel is on a steep hill, posing difficulties for those with mobility issues. parking was also inconvenient. I had to park down the road and carry luggage uphill. furthermore, the room lacked proper ventilation, and a corner of the room had inadequate lighting.

i found the hotel a bit lacking in atmosphere and the room felt quite small. also, the lighting in one corner of the room wasn't working. the shower in my room wasn't working at all! i mentioned it to the receptionist when checking out, but there wasn't any offer of a discount or even an apology.
