Everglades

"I have stayed in the Everglades many times and have always enjoyed my stay there. The staff are exceptional!"

"I had a wonderful one-night stay at the Everglades Hotel as part of my Irish Adventure tour run by CIE Tours (you can read my review of the amazing Irish Adventure tour on CIE’s TripAdvisor page). I would happily stay at this hotel again and recommend it to anyone visiting Derry. One quick note on location: it is not within the downtown or walled city area, but it’s just a short taxi ride to all the action. All hotel staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the hotel is clearly well staffed. I stayed in a lovely ground-floor room with a view of a busy road. The view wasn’t anything special, but that was perfectly fine, as I was mainly using the room for sleeping. The room was packed with amenities. In addition to the standard toiletries (soap, shampoo, and lotion), the Everglades Hotel provides a fan, complimentary water bottles, biscuits, coffee, and an assortment of teas. The toiletries smelled wonderful. The space itself was beautifully designed with modern, spa-like decor. There were more shelves, drawers, hooks, and surfaces than I could possibly use. I especially appreciated the variety of seating and lighting options, along with a generous number of outlets. A large television with local channels added a nice touch. I enjoyed getting a glimpse of local programming as a visitor. Seating included a bench, desk chair, and armchair, making the room feel both functional and comfortable. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows, and the blackout shade completely blocked outdoor light, creating ideal sleeping conditions. I’m a very light sleeper, and with my white noise machine on, I didn’t hear any outside, hallway, or neighboring room noise. The bathroom featured a small shower and no tub, but it had excellent water pressure and consistent hot water, which is everything I needed to get clean. The room was spotless. I found no mold, dust, bugs, hairs, or leftover items from previous guests. The hotel’s restaurant and pub were both cozy and classy, and the food was delicious traditional Irish cuisine. Overall, I had a great stay. Well done, Everglades Hotel!"
