Good hotel outside Derry

The hotel was good but a little out of the centre of Derry and had a playlist throughout the communal areas of the hotel that seemed to range from heavy metal to 1990’s. Rooms ok and overall good breakfast. It’s very much a wedding hotel so if you staying a weekend be prepared !

Fantastic Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is clean, modern and tastefully decorated. The standout factor though is the absolutely fantastic staff - every single member was friendly, helpful and accommodating. A special mention needs to go to Stephanie on reception and the barman in The Snug. Breakfast was good.
Joanna, 2-night trip

Fab staff make this hotel shine bright

Such a lovely warm welcome on arrival. Yasmin was the star for us...very friendly & went the extra mile to be kind & locate me a safety pin for a dress malfunction. Made an effort to acknowledge us each time we passed reception. Bar staff fast, efficient & attentive & 2 did the work of 5. Food lovely & recommend dinner & breakfast there.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

We got welcomed by the lovely Kristen at reception, and was also given Prosecco on arrival!
Vanessza, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very nice and helpfull check-in. The receptionist was super friendly and humoristic. I think her name is Stephanie. The diner was great, they give stagiaires a chance to learn and explore.

Waterfoot Hotel weekend

Reception check in, housekeeping was very good. Staff in restaurant & Bar were super good. Breakfast & other meals were delicious. We had an excellent stay. Also lady at reception gave us directions to a pathway alongside the Foyle which took us into the City, there is a bus service which stops just before Caw roundabout if you don't fancy the walk back.Hotel is a hidden gem.There is a busy roundabout just before access to the Hotel but the pathway into the city is really pleasant & gives a good walk. There is good access for cars over the Foyle bridge to the City, Letterkenny erc.
Patricia, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at the front desk were so kind and helpful, especially Stephanie. She suggested a place to stop off on our way back to Dublin (The Ulster American Folk Park well worth the stop) and even went out of her way to mail a post card for us! (thank you!) The only drawback was no air conditioning in the rooms. Thankfully it was a cool night.
