Provider-sourced guest reviews.
When we arrived we were greeted at reception by a lady and gentleman who were very welcoming and fun! We each received a glass of bubbly. There were little biscuits left in the room, together with a personalised welcome letter. The room was comfortable and the hotel was very central. We went to the bar later in the evening, where, a was a girl singing which was lovely. Beautiful breakfast the next morning with all the trimmings and a little glass of mimosa, the staff were lovely, would definitely return.
Everything was good.
Location was great, staff friendly,
Great breakfast and really good location.
Bubbles on arrival. Staff were all beautiful and very friendly. Definitely will be back for another stay.
Nothing to dislike.
Breakfast was excellent and the staff very attentive
Nothing that I can think of at present
Breakfast was of an exceptional quality and choice with wonderful table service and even free mimosa
Habitación muy amplia con camada muy cómoda aunque hacía un poco de calor. El personal muy amable y el desayuno abundante y de mucha calidad.
La verda que el hotel estaba bien, tal vez la ducha no iba perfecta pero por lo demás muy bien.
Staff were excellent
Rooms need a refresh
The staff are brillant, so friendly and helpful It is the staff that make this hotel so lovely. Lovely receptionist. Great first impression. The room was fine, compact but had everything and was spotless. The breakfast was superb, brought to the table, very big selection, and again the staff were delightful Very good value for money Location - couldn't be more central, couldn't be better for a Derry City visit
Leaving this blank - it was all excellent
Bel hôtel Très bon accueil 👌 Très bien placé 👌

The reception staff on arrival were so so nice and friendly, got a glass of bubbly. Room was beautiful, with lovely biscuits/treats as it was my birthday. Location was excellent.
It was central to everything
Nothing it was excellent
The staff at the reception were exceptionally brilliant. Very welcoming and helpful in giving me a hand with where to park and get around the area. They couldn't provide early check in so I left my suitcase at the reception on arrival and went for an event. The suitcase was waiting for me in the room by the time I returned. That was really nice.
The breakfast menu was good but it was cooked to order. It would have been nice to have a buffet.
Friendly staff , cleanliness, central location and good breakfast
Room was a bit small and a bit basic
The hotel location is excellent, and front reception is wonderful. However the hotel room is below our expectation- the Ferryquay is at the end of the aisle which is extremely noisy. And the cleaning room is also next to it, somehow the cleaning crew left that room open for the whole morning- see picture below
Reception staff very helpful, with prosecco on arrival. Lovely breakfast and bar area really nice.
We stayed in the Bond room, feel it could do with an upgrade particularly the bathroom which looked a bit grubby. Noise from the air con unit outside our window really disturbed our sleep.
La ubicación es muy buena, las habitaciones son amplias, la nuestra era abuhardillada y con vistas al Guilhall Hall y al rio. El desayuno a la carta buenisimo!
Nada
Very centrally located, beautifully decorated and very clean. The only problem was that the room was quite warm and it was hard to get air circulating with a small fan.
We really loved our stay here. We got an upgrade when we arrived and 2 glasses of Prosecco also. Very nice touch! Our room was very spacious and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in. Lovely modern bathroom and little treats left in the room. Great big breakfast and all the staff were so lovely to deal with! Parking was just up the road too so very ideal!

Had stayed in this room before and not very impressed
Food was excellent, staff were ver friendly and it was in a great location.
Room was very small without a view and felt very claustrophobic.
Location, room was comfortable and restaurant food was excellent
The staff in reception and restaurant were absolutely lovely. Friendly, warm, helpful and down to earth. Food in the evening was great and breakfast was delicious. Location was amazing!
A beautiful welcoming hotel in the heart of Derry city. The decor of the hotel is gorgeous and it is exceptionally clean. All staff members are so friendly and helpful. The bedroom was beautiful - a gorgeous king size bed with lovely linen and the freestanding bath added a touch of luxury. The little touches that stood out for us was the welcoming glass of champagne when checking in. The truffles and cookies and bottles of water in our room, the robes and slippers and fresh milk for our tea instead of UHT cartons . The breakfast was delicious and again it was the little extra touches like a glass of mimosa that makes you feel you are in a luxury hotel .
Absolutely nothing, everything was fabulous.!!
Beautiful hotel with very friendly staff. Excellent food menu and absolutely delicious, served piping hot. Ideal location to visit Derry's sights. Highly recommend this hotel.
Tutto eccezionale, camera, colazione, posizione ottima

My experience was extremely positive. The Shipquay hotel is excellent. The central location is ideal as a base for exploring Derry and the hotel itself is lovely in terms of its appearance and its decor. My room was perfect, very spacious, and the restaurant couldn't be faulted. A nice environment, responsive service and delicious food (both breakfast and dinner). Most importantly, all the hotel staff were friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. I will be returning to the Shipquay Hotel on my next visit to Derry!
our stay was divine! We love the hotel and the city and plan to be back next year after Fleadh. Appreciate the warm hospitality! And the view from our room - guildhall clock tower and river - was stunning. Restaurant is superb, pub has the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. thanks!
location
room very small and the restaurant extractor fan outside went from 7am to 10pm - very noisy. could hear it in the restaurant too, sounded like it needed servicing. common areas a bit worn.
The staff was amazing from the minute we went in to the minute we left a pleasure to have stayed here thank you to the best staff
Everything was good
Great location, elevator, beautifully appointed room and bath, special treats at check/in, very comfy mattress and pillows, large shower, robe & slippers (!), wonderful breakfast included, amazing welcoming staff. Way more than I expected for the price!

L’accueil est très agréable avec une coupe de champagne, des petits fours dans la chambre qui est très belle La literie est top Pas de parking mais places gratuites dans la rue de l’hôtel de 18h jusqu’à 9h mais après il faut changer sa voiture Petit déjeuner hyper copieux et savoureux servi à table (pas de self) Le resto de l’hôtel est très bien aussi
On nous a donné une chambre PMR sans nous avertir Très inconfortable au niveau salle de bain. Douche sans cabine qui n’a jamais fonctionné, lavabo minuscule et très bas. Pas de brosse pour les toilettes. La réceptionniste ne s’est pas excusé lorsque je lui en ai fait la remarque. Dans la deuxième chambre à l’autre bout du couloir une odeur nauséabonde. Ça n’est pas à la hauteur de la catégorie de l’hôtel
Everything. Beautiful hotel,fantastic and friendly staff. Stunning room,beautiful breakfast. Top class

We really enjoyed our stay at Shipquay Hotel. Great location, really friendly staff and fantastic breakfast. Highly recommended and we will hopefully get the opportunity to return. Ciaran and Claire
Fabulous hotel, just beautiful. Could not fault it. Lovely friendly staff, beautiful room. Fantastic breakfast. Highly recommended
So central and cosy clean rooms. It was my partners birthday and they had left a little plate with chocolates in the room for arrival and a birthday card which was a nice touch. Staff were pleasant.
Some stains on the carpet/ marks on the furniture but obviously just wear and tear however it was clean and comfortable.
We experienced such friendly staff. Nothing was too much for them. Comfortable beds and pillows and they give you everything you need. Good was first class and we will definitely be back soon. Thanks Shipquay.😁
We liked everything!!
The Staff were exceptional. More than helpful.
The shower was excellent but the water didn't drain properly but I mentioned it to reception so I imagine they will get it sorted.
Staff, comfort of bed and pillows, breakfast superb
Only getting to stay 1 night
We had a great stay at The Shipquay Hotel. The staff were all really friendly and helpful and are an asset to the business. The dinner menu was great and the breakfast was exceptional. Comfortable room and lovely soft towels and robe. No hesitation in recommending this hotel.
The hotel was lovely, clean and in a great location. The staff were so pleasant and helpful. The cooked breakfast was great and served on hot plates. We had dinner in the bar was very good, Mary was friendly and service was great.

From Brendan’s warm welcome before we arrived to the exceptional service throughout our stay, every member of the team made us feel genuinely cared for. The complimentary upgrade, beautiful room, thoughtful touches, delicious dinner and breakfast, and friendly hospitality made for a truly memorable stay in the heart of Derry. This was our first visit to the city and it certainly won’t be our last—thank you to everyone at the Shipquay for making it so special!
From Brendan’s lovely phone call before we arrived to the warm welcome and thoughtful touches throughout our stay, we felt genuinely looked after from start to finish. The beautiful room, delicious food, and friendly, attentive team made our first visit to Derry extra special. We can’t wait to come back—thank you to everyone at Shipquay for such a memorable visit!
Trip to the Millennium Forum for a show and decided to stay over. Absolutely lovely hotel with excellent staff notably reception. Room was great and lots of additional wee touches to make it memorable from bubbly on arrival to truffles and shortbread in the room which all appeared home made - breakfast was top tier
Love this hotel, staff are amazing, food sublime, the breakfast is beyond fab & breakfast staff so welcoming and professional! Will definitely return
Top Lage, gutes Frühstück
Fenster konnten nicht geöffnet werden da die Klimaanlage in Haus gegenüber sehr, sehr laut war. Zimmer ging auf den engen Hinterhof
Location was perfect
The walled city fry was very small and personally a fry should contain more traditional Irish items and egg was overcooked
Brilliant location, close to all sites of interest and shopping centres.
Location, cleanliness and friendly staff. Fab breakfast.
Fantastiskt läge, fina rum, god frukost och riktigt bra service!
Great location, lovely staff, very helpful. Comfy bed.
Have stayed in the beautiful Shipquay Hotel before. It is unique because of it's size. Small but full of beautiful rooms and with staff that make you feel at home while enjoying being pampered. Food is excellent, beautifully presented, great choice and served by pleasant and very helpful staff.
staff were excellent so helpfull food was amazing
Great location, friendly and helpful staff.
Chambre standart normale, petit déjeuner un peu faible, emplacement idéal en plein centre
peut être un peu plus de choix au petit déjeuner
The hotel was located in a good spot local to plenty of places to eat and shop. The room was a good size and bed was massive.
If im being picky the view was poor from the room as it faced a wall, but apart from that everything else was good.
Staff were lovely and the bed were so comfy

clean and comfortable….pleasant staff
Room a little small
La posizione della struttura è comoda e centrale. La colazione è varia e di buona qualità, servita in una sala ristorante bella e accogliente. Il personale è gentile. Al nostro arrivo ci è stato offerto un calice di prosecco di benvenuto (purtroppo non era fresco) e in camera abbiamo trovato acqua e dei biscotti di benvenuto, anche se questi ultimi non avevano un aspetto particolarmente invitante. I letti sono molto comodi.
Abbiamo prenotato due camere doppie. Purtroppo entrambe avevano la finestra affacciata direttamente su un muro: avremmo apprezzato che questo fosse indicato chiaramente al momento della prenotazione, perché entrare in camera e trovarsi davanti un muro non dà una buona impressione. Inoltre, l’aria nella stanza e negli spazi comuni risultava piuttosto pesante e, dato l’affaccio sulla corte interna, anche aprendo la finestra era difficile ottenere un buon ricambio d’aria. In una delle due camere, accanto alla finestra, passava una tubazione dell’impianto molto rumorosa, che durante la notte risultava particolarmente fastidiosa. A questo si aggiungeva un altro rumore intermittente, rendendo il riposo poco confortevole. Sempre quella camera era dotata di bagno accessibile alle persone con disabilità. Comprendiamo che questo comporti caratteristiche diverse, ma il lavabo era davvero molto piccolo e poco pratico da utilizzare, mentre la doccia allagava completamente il pavimento del bagno dopo ogni utilizzo.
Everything was fantastic from location to breakfast. We loved it!!
We booked a triple room but there were only 2 towels 2 cups and 2 bottles of water. Rectified immediately so wasn't a big deal!!
Highly recommend. Staff were so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel is beautiful and centrally located. Breakfast was delicious. You won’t be disappointed
The hotel was superb. On arrival we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and happily an upgrade. We enjoyed a luxurious stay , a wonderful evening meal in the restaurant and an incredible breakfast all served by the friendliest and welcoming staff. A marvellous hotel
It was superb from beginning to end. Staff were incredible and so utterly pleasant
The personal touch. Enjoyed the glass of bubbly on arrival & the breakfast being cooked fresh & served to the table.
Friendly and exceptionally helpful staff made us feel very welcome. The large beautifully decorated room exceeded our expectations and offered superb value for money.
Nothing to speak of
This hotel is in the perfect location. This is our second time staying in recent months and this trip was as good as the last. The staff are wonderful. Lauren in Reception and the girls who served us breakfast were so lovely. I would recommend this hotel for a stay in this wonderful city.
location was excellent, but more importantly the staff were extremely friendly and helpful

Fantastic stay, perfect location, nice details since arrival, highly recommended!
Nothing, all perfect
This is a truly exceptional hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful and really make you welcome and take time to chat. The breakfast was lovely, a great choice of freshly-cooked dishes. We had dinner too twice during our stay and enjoyed it.
Excellent breakfast, cooked to order! Staff really friendly and helpful and a great location. Nice bar and atmosphere.
Rooms could probably do with some updating as some don't have aircon, but would highly recommend this hotel and we really enjoyed our stay.
We were in town for a wedding that the after party took place at the Thirsty Goat. Location was perfect. Room was absolutely perfect for my adult daughter and I.
No AC, we are Americans, lol. But there was a fan in the room which helped make it more comfortable. Every thing else was perfect
All staff were extremely friendly & welcoming.
No faults at all.
We really liked our short stay!! Should have planned a little better to have more time! The breakfast was out of this world and every person we met who worked there, were just the kindest !!
The only thing we would have wished was for AC! This heat is not the norm anytime we are in Ireland, so we managed, but the room was a little stuffy but we still had a great time
From the moment we arrived this felt a very special hotel, the staff, rooms, restaurant & bar were all perfect. We were made welcome & as 2 of us were celebrating a special birthday made to feel super wonderful. The staff in all areas were outstanding in every way & a credit to the management! I would definitely recommend highly & will return as soon as I can!
We loved our stay at the Shipquay Boutique Hotel. Such beautiful decor right from the pretty flowers surrounding the entrance to the entry to our amazing corner room. Check-in was enjoyable as Lisa was engaging and friendly. Our room was spacious and had a fabulous view of Guildhall and the historic city walls. It was the most comfortable bed with the best bedding. I actually laid down again after our delicious breakfast in the hotel restaurant as I didn’t want to leave! Truly one of the best stays on our Ireland trip. Thank you!
Nice central place to stay
A warm welcome, with a glass of bubbly. Friendly staff. Everything high quality. Delicious breakfast. Top location
Nothing to offer here!
Buena situación, restaurante muy agradable y todo el personal muy atento.
Tener que pedir el desayuno continental dentro de unas pocas opciones (estamos acostumbrados al buffet).
The location was excellent just around the corner from shops and bars.

They greeted us with a smile and glass of bubbly. Helped us with check in a parking and gave us good recommendations for our short stay. Stayed in the Shipquay Room and loved it.
"An exceptional stay at a beautiful boutique hotel! The service here is incredibly warm and friendly. We loved the champagne welcome on arrival, which perfectly set the mood to enjoy the bar. The bar staff were fantastic and full of great information about Derry, and the receptionist was wonderfully kind in helping us plan our itinerary. We stayed on for bar food, which was excellent and the perfect end to our night."
