This is a tricky one to rate. We booked 2 rooms for 5 of us, a triple and double. When we arrived and checkin in at the pub the young man was very helpful and moved us to rooms on the same floor and we ended up with a room with a double and 3 singles and and a room... More

My husband and I stayed here last year and had a great time, yes, you do have to go into the pub next door for your room key but I certainly did not have a problem with this, it is an Inn not a hotel. The room was modern and clean though when we arrived a bit cold, breakfast in... More

Only stayed there on Sat the 28th of Jan. Parking across the road, loads of spaces and cheap. Great atmosphere with the staff. Lovely breakfast. Nobody else complaining. Good location. Extremely fairly priced. Happy days. Would definitely go back there if visiting the city again and have told my friends about it. More

Possibly the worst place I have ever stayed in. On arrival we had to go into the pub and the person behind the bar had no idea what was going on and tried to find our names in a book that lokoed like it was falling apart. After some time he informed us that they only had one room left... More

I stayed at the Iona Inn, for just one night, while visiting Derry. Arriving early evening, a note on the door directed me to the adjoining pub! I wasn't that impressed - until, that is, I walked into the warmest welcome anyone could wish for! Mark, who was looking after the bar, quickly pulled a couple of the best pints... More

I stayed here for a wedding in August and had a great time. The breakfast was great although I only made it down once due to staying too late in the attached Bar next door. Good location for visiting Derry. Overall a good family run Pub/B+B More

I payed 40 pounds for a clean big room with breakfast thrown in a lovely pub next door and kind friendly people.I have travelled many places over the world and... More

I cannot recommend his hotel or city any more highly. My sister and I had a one night stay in this hotel, when we arrived at the pub next door the bar man came straight with us to the B&B checked us in and carried my (rather heavy) bags up to our room. The room was very modernly furnished and... More

We booked our stay at this B&B due to the positive reviews on TripAdvisor. We had a group of 6 (3 rooms) and all of us agreed that this was the worst lodging experience that we had ever had in Europe. We arrived at roughly 5pm and no one was at the front desk. We had to go into the... More

Our last minute trip to Derry allowed us to stay in this lovely hotel. Family rooms for five which were spacious but comfortable and not at all hostel like, close to a warm and welcoming 19th Century pub our stay here allowed us to recharge our batteries and visit the many and varied sites of the local area.
