Everglades Hotel

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Everglades Hotel. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Our room was well appointed and comfortable. The food was of a high standard. I would highly recommend the hotel to potential visitors

A great location for Derry/Londonderry, with ample parking. Friendly staff and good food, library bar and grill restaurant have the same menu. My room was a refurbished room (ground floor) which was much better than a room I had the week before which was dated (2nd Floor). Although amenities are limited I enjoyed my stay here.

My mum, sisters and I visited the Everglades Hotel for afternoon tea today. We were greeted by Finn who showed us to our table. He introduced himself and his colleague Una, made us feel very welcome and let us know we were free to relax and keep the table for as long as we desired and not to be in any rush. The area in which we were seated was very comfortable with a real fire just behind us giving a cosy feel to a wintery afternoon. Finn took our requests for tea/coffee and asked us to let him know when we needed a top-up. The food was brought to us quickly and it was delightful. There was a great selection of sandwiches, scones & sweet treats. Would definitely recommend this experience if you're in the mood for a relaxing afternoon with great food in pleasant surroundings.

Lovely hotel in Derry. Staff was very nice and room was very nice as well. Unfortunately it was a warm day and our room window wouldn't stay open in the night, so the room was warm. The 10 inch plastic fan didn't help at all. There was no one at the front desk to check out so we left our key on the desk.

The Everglades Hotel is located on the outskirts of Derry/Londonderry, making it less convenient for those relying on public transport or hoping to walk to and from the city centre, especially after enjoying the vibrant bar scene. However, once you arrive, don't let the aging exterior deter you—despite its dated appearance, the hotel is surrounded by well-maintained gardens that hint at the care given to the property. Stepping inside, you're greeted with the plush and luxurious ambiance expected of a 4-star hotel. The interior boasts a traditional yet modern design, tastefully blending timeless elegance with updated fixtures and fittings. We visited for the New Year’s Eve celebrations, which were enhanced by the beautifully maintained Christmas decorations, including a stunning central tree in the lobby. The staff were welcoming and professional throughout our stay, accommodating our request for a room change with ease. It's worth noting that some rooms appear to be more updated than others, so experiences may vary. Our upgraded ground-floor room was beautifully designed with a king-sized bed, a cozy seating area, and a window seat. Unfortunately, the view overlooked the main road, requiring curtains to remain closed for privacy. A sheer curtain option would have been a nice touch to allow light in without compromising privacy. Rooms on the opposite side of the corridor had limited views as well, facing a brick wall. Standard amenities were provided, including tea/coffee facilities, a large TV, Bluetooth speaker, iron, vanity area, complimentary water, and high-speed internet (120 Mbps). While the room felt modern and luxurious, the bathroom did not quite match the same standard. One unique aspect of the hotel was the continued use of traditional single-use toiletries instead of fixed dispensers, accompanied by signage warning guests against taking them to avoid additional charges. While this appears to be part of an eco-conscious effort, it did feel a bit at odds with the hotel’s otherwise polished presentation. We prepaid for breakfast at check-in to benefit from a reduced rate and enjoyed the standard options of hot and cold offerings. However, the quality of the ingredients was underwhelming, and we chose to dine elsewhere on our second morning. For the NYE celebrations, the hotel hosted live music acts in the central lobby and bar area, creating a lively atmosphere. However, a few small details could have improved the experience—lighting the fireplace would have added warmth, and the musician, unfortunately, sang through midnight without acknowledging the countdown, leaving guests to celebrate the New Year on their own initiative. Dining in the bar restaurant yielded mixed results. While some dishes were enjoyable, others were either overcooked or overly seasoned, perhaps due to the challenges of catering to a larger crowd on New Year’s Eve with the Grill Restaurant function.. In summary, the Everglades Hotel offers a range of experi

Really enjoyed relaxing at the Everglades Hotel in Derry. The staff were friendly and very helpful . The hotel was spotless and very well maintained. The food was great with great selection of vegetarian options. Make sure you don’t miss the breakfast, it really sets you up for the day with a wide range of options to choose from. The hotel is ideal suited to explore the city of Derry or to drive into county Donegal. We will definitely be back to stay again
