Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location felt special, approximately 1.5 miles from the city center, and the staff were friendly and went the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the room's layout was a bit inconvenient, with the sink right beside a noisy road, and the cleanliness left much to be desired. The dining experience was mediocre with buffet-style options and could be improved in terms of quality and cooking freshness.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room with a sofa and two large chairs wasn't as good as previous stays, it was still spacious, clean, and featured a nice bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. The lack of air conditioning was a downside. The service, on the other hand, was outstanding and some of the best I've ever encountered, with the staff being incredibly helpful and kind. The hotel's location, a bit farther from the city center than expected, was redeemed by its convenience for a short car journey, while the dining experience had its ups and downs. The facilities were satisfactory overall, with room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel had very comfortable rooms finished to a high standard, but noise from the road was a downside. The location was quiet and relaxing outside Derry, though a bit far from the center. Dining was a mix of good and bad experiences. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, and there was plenty of parking available. The location, although not directly in the city center, was just a short drive away, offering a peaceful setting. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff ready to assist at all times. The dining experience was a highlight, with a delicious breakfast that kept me satisfied until lunch.
The hotel is located right next to a busy road, which can be noisy all night. The rooms face the A5 traffic, making it quite loud. However, the staff are professional and pleasant. The dining experience may not meet expectations for a Hastings hotel, and breakfast could be improved. On the bright side, the service is excellent and the location offers easy access to the city center.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were immaculate and beautifully set up to a very high standard. The temperature was perfect, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The seating area with a sofa and large chairs was so inviting and cozy. However, some mood lighting in general areas and bedrooms could add to the ambiance.
