The gf and I stayed here last weekend for a brief trip to the North, and it was absolutely lovely! The owners are very friendly, and Liam told us about an ancient (well, depending on your definition - it was largely rebuilt in the 19th century) roundfort just out of town. While lots of places will do that, he then... More

Where to start! Upon first arriving, you see it's a pretty bnb, very homely and the owners are incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is so comforting, we really felt at home. The room was bright, clean, the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! There is a kitchen that we were able to use as we pleased.... More

Fairman House was a lovely hostel to stay at. If you are looking for a party hostel this is not the place for you. I had the hostel all to myself for one night, and it was fantastic to have Liam and Stella stoke the fire for me and make sure I was comfortable - it was awesome to have... More

I stayed here for a night a while ago, must say i would never ever return! The hostel did have a good location and was close to the town. The rooms were also very clean. However the rooms were very small with no facilities at all! They didnt even have mirrors, the toilets were 3 floors down so began to... More

Family owned business with a family feel to my stay. It's close to the city centre and I also had a chance to visit done integrating museums in this area. For those looking to learn more about the history of this city this hostel is good to stay in. I also had a lovely breakfast included in the reasonable price.

Stayed in a quad with my family for one rainy night in Derry. Although my family is accustomed to a bit more space (!), the room was clean, beds were comfortable and we managed to get a good night's sleep. Breakfast was modest, but more than we expected! It's easy to walk to the Bogside neighborhood and north of town,... More

Hostel was quite good but didnt like fact that owners hovered around place a bit too much. Was quite offended by views of owner who had very strong opinions on city but was quite happy to take money from people he obviously doesnt like. When you book into a place to stay you dont need to be bombarded with what... More

the hostel was very quiet and much more like a b and b than any other hostel i have stayed in. in fact if it didnt have a kitchen , that is definitely what it would be called. i was surprised when we discovered the location just how far out of the city centre it was. it seemed closer on... More

We came here and stayed in the twin room on the top floor. It was nice that it had two separate beds instead of bunkbeds. The kitchen and bathrooms are newer and in very clean condition. There was great wireless reception even in the top floor, and a large TV on the main floor for entertainment. The hosts are incredibly... More
