Everglades Hotel

A great location for Derry/Londonderry, with ample parking. Friendly staff and good food, library bar and grill restaurant have the same menu. My room was a refurbished room (ground floor) which was much better than a room I had the week before which was dated (2nd Floor). Although amenities are limited I enjoyed my stay here.

We had a lovely stay. We went to a Motown show which was great. The room was lovely, everything we needed and the food and service was excellent. The receptionist on arrival was very welcoming. The pianist in the foyer was also a nice touch. Overall a very pleasant experience and we would stay again.

The Everglades Hotel is located on the outskirts of Derry/Londonderry, making it less convenient for those relying on public transport or hoping to walk to and from the city centre, especially after enjoying the vibrant bar scene. However, once you arrive, don't let the aging exterior deter you—despite its dated appearance, the hotel is surrounded by well-maintained gardens that hint at the care given to the property. Stepping inside, you're greeted with the plush and luxurious ambiance expected of a 4-star hotel. The interior boasts a traditional yet modern design, tastefully blending timeless elegance with updated fixtures and fittings. We visited for the New Year’s Eve celebrations, which were enhanced by the beautifully maintained Christmas decorations, including a stunning central tree in the lobby. The staff were welcoming and professional throughout our stay, accommodating our request for a room change with ease. It's worth noting that some rooms appear to be more updated than others, so experiences may vary. Our upgraded ground-floor room was beautifully designed with a king-sized bed, a cozy seating area, and a window seat. Unfortunately, the view overlooked the main road, requiring curtains to remain closed for privacy. A sheer curtain option would have been a nice touch to allow light in without compromising privacy. Rooms on the opposite side of the corridor had limited views as well, facing a brick wall. Standard amenities were provided, including tea/coffee facilities, a large TV, Bluetooth speaker, iron, vanity area, complimentary water, and high-speed internet (120 Mbps). While the room felt modern and luxurious, the bathroom did not quite match the same standard. One unique aspect of the hotel was the continued use of traditional single-use toiletries instead of fixed dispensers, accompanied by signage warning guests against taking them to avoid additional charges. While this appears to be part of an eco-conscious effort, it did feel a bit at odds with the hotel’s otherwise polished presentation. We prepaid for breakfast at check-in to benefit from a reduced rate and enjoyed the standard options of hot and cold offerings. However, the quality of the ingredients was underwhelming, and we chose to dine elsewhere on our second morning. For the NYE celebrations, the hotel hosted live music acts in the central lobby and bar area, creating a lively atmosphere. However, a few small details could have improved the experience—lighting the fireplace would have added warmth, and the musician, unfortunately, sang through midnight without acknowledging the countdown, leaving guests to celebrate the New Year on their own initiative. Dining in the bar restaurant yielded mixed results. While some dishes were enjoyable, others were either overcooked or overly seasoned, perhaps due to the challenges of catering to a larger crowd on New Year’s Eve with the Grill Restaurant function.. In summary, the Everglades Hotel offers a range of experi

Really enjoyed relaxing at the Everglades Hotel in Derry. The staff were friendly and very helpful . The hotel was spotless and very well maintained. The food was great with great selection of vegetarian options. Make sure you don’t miss the breakfast, it really sets you up for the day with a wide range of options to choose from. The hotel is ideal suited to explore the city of Derry or to drive into county Donegal. We will definitely be back to stay again

I visit Derry every year and Have stayed in this hotel on two occasions. It’s decent enough, Bed is comfy. Shower has a glass door which is locked in place making it difficult to navigate. Hotel isn’t in the centre though so would require a taxi if you aren’t in a car and can’t walk the mile walk. If Derry city are playing and your a fan or Irish football there’s a good chance the away team will be in the hotel. That’s kind of cool

Our tour came through Derry and we stayed the night. We were one of multiple tour companies for that evening. They planned out how best to meet everyone’s needs. The staff were wonderful both at evening meal and breakfast: restocking items, checking on us, and extremely pleasant. A wonderful hotel.
