I can’t fault anything room great, service was fantastic
United KingdomVery helpful and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room and the food was top notch
United KingdomFantastic staff, rooms and location we will definitely be back!
United KingdomRoom was nice. Bathrooms clean. Staffs were friendly. Breakfast was ordered ala carte which minimizes food wastage and was cooked to order. Food was delicious and filling. There was also a spread of breads and fruits while you wait for the cooked breakfast to arrive. There is a paid parking area near the front of the hotel which is free to park at night until 8:00 am. This is a big plus because of the convenience for those with rentals. All the best pubs are a mere 5 minute walk from the hotel.
PhilippinesStaff were very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful hotel with amazing restaurant food (try the guinea fowl). Amazing location right beside the walls of Derry. Went for my 10th wedding anniversary, hotel gave us a free upgrade to a junior suite with free welcome hamper. Very luxurious suite. Short walk to other bars and restaurant and great shopping. Will definitely be back!!

History of Bishop’s Gate Hotel In 1880 the Northern Counties Club was formed in the city by members of the local gentry who had served during the Crimean War. Originally meeting in No. 3 St. Columb’s Court the popularity of the club necessitated the purchase of larger premises and so at the end of the 19th Century the present building,was acquired for £1200. Renowned architect Alfred A Forman was responsible for remodelling the building and the club then opened its doors in 1902. It featured a billiards room, library and catering facilities with accommodation provided later and offered a base for businessmen and intellects of the city to meet and discuss ideas and plans with which to develop the city’s industries. Throughout the years of use by the Northern Counties Club there have been many famous visitors – including Winston Churchill, W.B. Yeats, Field Marshalls Montgomery and Alexander and artist Derek Hill. Through sympathetic restoration of the original and adjoining buildings, this unique venue which is now Bishop’s Gate Hotel,a Grade B1 listed hotel, retains its character, period charms and its historic splendour.
