When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Would highly recommend staying at the abbey.All the staff and the owner were so friendly and couldn’t do enough. Rooms spotlessly clean with a tasty breakfast. Location excellent as well with lots of fee on street parking as well. Enjoyed our stay

Absolutely fantastic location only a block away from the walls. Rooms are small but spotless. Seamus was so friendly and was keen to recommend great places to eat and pubs to enjoy trad music. Ellie is delightful and it was a pleasure to see her every morning at breakfast, which by the way was delicious. The interior walls are covered in photos, posters and more of Irish musicians etc. so very interesting. We really loved our stay and highly recommend.

Located in the Bogside - with all the related politics - past and present immediately in your face. A short walk to walled city and yet more history and pollitics. Our hosts were very helpful and welcoming, breakfast was plentiful, street parking available. Room was spacious and ready upon arrival.

I struggle to reconcile the room we had with the previous reviews and the notion that this is advertised as luxury accommodation. We had a very small room with a double bed and a simple bathroom that I would describe as basic as best. The house is old fitted out with odd pieces of dark furniture, certainly nowhere cosy where you might choose to sit. On the plus side, it is well located with the city sights within a ten minute walk, and parking available in the street outside. I could not recommend this B&B - the description of the house and the reviews do not match our experience with our allocated room.

Response from Seamus Kennedy, General Manager at Abbey Bed and Breakfast
Responded 7 Aug 2023
I struggle to reconcile your review with the price you paid for a city centre location. Dont understand you comments either "no where cozy to sit" where as we have four lounges-dining areas and there is about seven different sofas...wing back chairs etc....Also i love dark furniture/ antiques, it a matter of your taste against ours. I would like also to understand your definition of size...? Rooms are actually decent size for a bed and breakfast and all are passed by quality assurance within guideline of Northern Irish Tourist board. Anyhow thanks for your review i suggest you try some of our great hotels in Derry City but expect to pay three times the price. Slainte agus go raibh mile maith agat.

Very warm welcome they couldn’t do enough to help our stay ,breakfast great , very comfy beds which were especially welcome after a long day walking the walls of the city. Attractions and city centre all within a short walk. We will definitely be back again soon, that warm Irish welcome we received guarantees that.

Close to numerous memorials and museums of the Irish fight for justice of '68 and on, and less than ten minutes walk to all the main historic sights of Derry. Abbey has numerous rooms of varying types in a newer converted building in a semi-residential area. Staff of the large office building opposite use up much of nearby parking. Best to arrive after 5pm, or on weekends. Our room was clean and comfortable, but without a TV. Two lovely friendly ladies provide a tasty filling breakfast. No dinner, but many restaurants within a 1km range. The owner lives elsewhere, and staff are gone at night. So any problems such as lost room keys or disturbances from other guests could be an issue. The entrance doors are left unlocked.

Thanks for your stay and comments. Sorry you had no TV in your room as most rooms do have a TV but there was remote problems recently and we had to get an engineer to sort out. Also your information doors not been locked is wrong as i work the night duty and main door is not locked until all guests return. There is a security camera at entrance that we can view always and we do this as no guest is locked if it is raining or forget something, etc... This works for us after 23 years of experience Anyhow thanks again and all the best. Seamus K.

Warm host showed us to our room to ensure everything was fine before he left us. Fun decor. Comfortable beds and hot shower. Delicious, cooked to order Irish breakfast. Tea, coffee, and biscuits laid out for us even though we arrived late, which was a nice way to relax after a long day of driving.

The Abbey offers clean comfortable rooms in the heart of Free Derry, epicentre of the fight against British military occupation and historic injustice. There are multiple murals and memorials to the Nationalist resistance nearby, and the City Walls and centre of old Derry a few minutes walk away. Power outlets are Éire/UK 3 pin plug style only, but adaptors are available. No in-room TV. Full breakfast, (vegetable spread instead of butter): staff are very friendly, but they are gone at night. While I was there a group of guests partied loudly inside and out until well past midnight. Safe street parking. On site payments cash only.

Outstanding accommodation presented by outstanding human beings. Helen, John and the staff have an amazing guesthouse and we will 100% be back when we visit Derry in the future. The house is perfectly placed to explore the city and the breakfast was spot on. Relaxed atmosphere with tea and coffee available all day and even had a massive fridge to store food and drink. Thanks a million.

Stayed here for one night to catch a LOI game at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium. This is an absolutely ideal location given it's proximity to The Brandywell, it's literally a 5 minute walk.Seamus the owner is a friendly man, happy to have the chat and point you in the right direction for pubs, food or anything else you have in mind while staying in the City. The rooms are modern and well appointed and the bed was extremely comfortable.There was a nice big en suite bathroom adjoining the bedroom. The property is also only 5 minutes walk from popular bars for pints after the games. It's also literally only 1 minute walk from the Free Derry museum, although that wasn't on the agenda for this trip. Breakfast the following morning was delicious and plentyfull, and the friendly ladies on breakfast were offering more of anything should you have a big enough appetite to want more. All in all this was a fantastic place to stay for the night of a game in the Brandywell and the city and people were extremely welcoming and friendly.I highly recommend The Abbey to any LOI fans looking for accommodation for their away fixture to Derry or anyone else for that matter.Will be back here for all Derry trips in future. …
