to get started.

Staff were excellent and Stephenie on reception was so pleasant and lovely to deal with and the same for the night manager he was friendly and helpful and so kind to my mum. Would rcommend this hotel to anyone visiting Derry.

Frances, Ireland

The staff were very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome and informed. The room was very comfortable and quiet, as well as an easy walk to town. It is located very close to one of the gates so access to the wall is only a minute away. We would stay here again.

Michele, United States of America

Staff was extremely friendly, outgoing, and helpful. The room was gorgeous, a superior place to rest. The bar and dining room were excellent. Location could not be better for walking the city wall and exploring the old city. If you are looking for a treat in Derry, this is it!

P&k, United States of America

The decor was super nice and the staff was exceptional!

Alisa, United States of America

Michael, United States of America

The hotel was lovely. Perfect location within the gates. Walking distance to all main sutes.

Lm, United States of America

Loved this property, great shower head and pressure. Wonderful staff. Excellent Esspresso martinis. Great location.

Elizabeth, United States of America

Our first interaction with the young woman at the reception desk set the tone for our stay. I can't remember her name but I do know that she has won awards for outstanding service -- not because she told me but because I saw her award on the wall. She was welcoming, more than pleasant, informative, helpful and efficient. The hotel is centrally located within the city walls and the facilities are very attractive, comfortable and clean. The restaurant/bar is great! Excellent food and ambiance. I've only commented a few times on booking websites and this is one I just had to do. We've traveled a lot and I can say without exaggeration that this is an exceptional hotel.

Pat, United States of America

An Inside Look at Bishop's Gate Hotel

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.

Location and facilities great - lovely historic hotel - but the best was the staff. I would especially like to thank Michael (Irish spelling) who helped with everything from packing up our sourdough starter to personally persuading us to go on the best walking tour we have ever taken. Valet parking costs an additional 10 pounds but well worth it. Derry is an amazing and beautiful city and worth a longer visit.
