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.

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.

I booked this hotel, as my son had a competition the next morning. We were kept awake until the early morning as there was a party on with load music. the soundproofing is terrible. When I tried to ring reception, the phone was not answered. Yet when I rang, the line was answered.

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.

Beautiful hotel, very busy during my stay, which is a good sign. Unfortunately the noise from revellers leaving the function room below my window was very loud between 23.00 and 02.00. This impacted sleep considerably. It must be stated that it was a Friday night so what can I expect. While my room was beautiful, there was an odour from what seamed like stagnant water, not from the bathroom, turning the fan on released the issue.

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.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially David in the dining room and Marty in the snug. The only issues were that one room we had did have some mould on the ceiling and that the roundabout the hotel is situated on is terrible to get onto. The roundabout could really be doing with traffic lights although this is out of the hotels control. Great food and the rooms are a great size for 2.
