Iona Inn

Location: Highly praised for proximity to the city center , river, and bars.

Absolutely fantastic stay at the very unassuming Iona Inn! The property was clean, quiet, felt safe but by far the best part was our host. She was so lovely and welcoming, took time to point everything out to us and get us oriented. The room we stayed in had three single beds and one shower/toilet combo. Very clean, VERY comfortable beds. The included breakfast was awesome. Take your pick from cereal, waffles/pancakes or you can even order up a full Irish breakfast. The property requires a key code to get into the building and then a key for your room. Very easy walk across the bridge into the centre of Derry and all the major highlights like the old city walls, Guildhall, bars and restaurants (including Badgers Bar where the Derry Girls mural is located). There's also a convenience store across the road that had all the basics available. Would highly recommend!

It was handy for out walking tours of Londonderry but very noisy and we had disrupted nights. The walls are thin and there was a very noisy group in the hotel waking us up after midnight.
