We stayed one night in this "no frills" accommodation while attending a theatre in Derry and were perfectly satisfied with our choice. We would use this Travelodge again because of its low price and especially its proximity to the bus terminal and all the attractions of this unique and ancient walled city. Derry (also known in the UK as "Londonderry") is the only completely walled city on the island is of Ireland. Derry is also the European Capital of Culture in 2013 with many attractions.The Travelodge on Strand Rd is just a 5-minute walk beneath part of the ancient wall, from the bus depot. The bus depot provides time-tables to the wide range of services that operate out of Derry to places like Dublin and Galway as well as many towns of northern Donegal on the Inisowen Peninsula. However the lovely little railway station in Derry is on the eastern side of the river and would require a taxi to most or all of Derry's hotels.This Travelodge is an older building, our 3rd floor room had a partial view of the River Foyle. The room was large and had all the basics, comfortable beds, spotlessly clean, large bathroom with bath - but the shower head was dripping. Apart from the beds and two good chairs, the rest of the furniture was old and a little the worse for the wear, but fine for a couple of nights. There was a large modern flat screen TV and a kettle, but no fridge. None would have been needed as the weather was so bitterly cold!It could have been noisy if other guests banged around, but we stayed on a Monday night so there was no problem. There are plenty of restaurants and bars in the area and shopping malls. We did not avail of the breakfast provided at the Travelodge.Staff at Reception were welcoming and efficient. There was a charge of ¿¿5 for Wi-Fi for 24 hours, and a Surfbox in the lobby. We did not need to use either as our visit was short and there is free Wi-Fi on long-distance buses and trains.If booking, make sure which Travelodge you want - as far as I am aware there is another one a short distance away which would not be so convenient to the bus depot.

This Travelodge is located on the Strand Road which is ideal to be close to the city centre. Everything in the room was very clean and tidy and the staff are helpful when arriving and departing from the hotel.

Stayed here on an overnight for a friends birthday, Got a really good price and to be honest cannot complain. Service was good, Rooms basic/standard but everything that was needed. If attending Derry/Londonderry on a budget. Why not have a look

We booked at short notice due to a bereavement and the staff were so helpful. Check in was fast & we were in our family room in minutes. Family room was basic but clean with all needs met. Ideal location for centre of town with no problem getting taxis. WiFi needed for our daughter who needed to submit college work & at ¿¿5 for 24 hours it saved any running around looking for WiFi spots. Although single beds they were comfy & we slept like logs. A definite for our next visit to our Derry family.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room for the price I paid. It only took a couple of minutes to walk into the Millenium Forum and the shops. The decor was also surprisingly pleasant, bright red tiles in the bathroom. It was quite modern and minimalist, like a Yotel. The staff were really helpful and found bus information and booked a taxi for me. I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic break but otherwise it's a great deal.
