It was perfect for our 1 night stay.

Unfortunately the water had to be turned off due to a leak which left us unable to use the toilet, shower, etc. I realise that this was beyond the control of the owners.
Despite that, the accommodation was clean, comfortable and very central.
Liam greeted us at the property and showed us places of interest to go to and nice places to eat.

Basic rooms but excellent location and convenient. Clean and host was very helpful and accomodating. There is a pub at the rear of the property which was a bit noisy but minimised by closing windows. Room at the top of three flights of narrow stairs. Off street parking was greatly appreciated, entrance to parking very challenging to anything bigger than a mid-size sedan. Overall, good for a shortstay

We loved our stay here. Small room but cozy bed. We were staying on the top floor, so just be aware, there is no elevator and the stairs are steep. Otherwise it was a perfect stay . There is private parking in the back with locked garages, one for each room. Loved that. And the common room kitchen and living area are perfect! Clean kitchen and they even have snacks free of charge! Thank you greatly! Will definitely recommend

Wonderful visit to Derry

The Chamberlain House is a very well-located and extremely clean place to stay in the lively and friendly city of Derry. I recently stayed there as part of a trip around Ireland and found the room to be very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Upon arrival, Teresa greeted us warmly and assisted us with accessing the parking area. She then gave us some excellent recommendations for what to do during our time in the city. We especially appreciated her dining recommendations, which were spot on - both the Blackbird, where we had supper, and the Scullery, where we had a fabulous breakfast on our last day, were outstanding, among the best meals we had on the entire trip. We also appreciated having kitchen access and being able to stay in such a central location - you really cannot beat it. Thanks for everything, Liam and Teresa!

Had secure parking, but was a cold night and we had no heating. Messaged the owner who said he’d turn it on, but we got back to our room after a walk around and dinner, and room was still cold.

Could hear other guests in the complex but guess that’s too be expected in a place like this.
The Town was quite cool to walk around the walls etc, never even knew about this till we turned up.

This is a gem for visiting Derry - just steps from all major sights yet offers parking and roomy guestroom. Teresa's check-in welcome was brilliant for how to see the city without moving the car or wandering aimlessly, a true timesaver. To be so close to everything and able to run out quickly was amazing in such a busy and congested area for drivers. CH facilitates a wonderful stay in Derry. Highly recommend walking the walls and visiting the Craft Village and Tower Museum within.

The Derry Stay

It was very near all the places we intended to see-The Bogside. The Wall and the pubs.
We slept like a log in the comfortable bed with the pristine cotton sheets. The help yourself breakfast was well organised and made for a very informal, friendly atmosphere along with the other guests.
Special thanks must go to Theresa who was so obliging and came to our rescue with what to do with our cases and where to park.
Liam, the owner, kept in touch and was very accommodating with check in time.
We would have no hesitation in staying there again. Thank you for our stay.

Good simple room

William was an excellent host who helpfully checked us in. The room was simple and a bit dated but clean and perfect for somewhere to sleep.
The only downside was the noise of the other guests- unfortunately it seemed that we chose to stay on a night where two separate rowdy boys and girls weekends away were also staying, so the noise did carry on until about 3am, but that’s an occupational hazard and not the host’s fault. Thankfully the host did attend the property and ask the other guests to be quieter.
Overall, amenities and host were good, the other guests were not.

The two men who oversee the property are the epitome of wonderful hosts! I felt like I was with family. Cameron told me “safe home” before I left because he doesn’t like to see people go. He didn’t know that it’s my favorite saying, and my aunts (who recently passed). It made the stay even better! He was the sweetest, as was Liam! I will be staying there again when I head back up the island. I did not want to leave!

You can do better - don’t stay here

This place was a disappointment in pretty much every way. Depressing looking, our room was up several flights of stairs. The “breakfast” consisted of some containers of yogurt or pieces of bread that you could fix for yourself if you were hungry. But the worst was that there was no internet! They said “trouble with the server” - trouble that never got fixed. Oh, and we couldn’t get the TV to work either.

THE place to stay in Derry

I stayed for 9 nights and it was the perfect base for me on my first visit to Derry. Everything is on the doorstep so you can explore the compact city centre on foot from there. I was not altogether sure what to expect, having only ever passed through previously, but the city was fascinating and the people were great, going out of their way to be helpful. There is secure parking through a narrow, but perfectly negotiable, entrance, I did take care, but had no difficulty getting in and out with my Micra. I felt quite safe in the neighbourhood, and throughout the city, in fact. Breakfast is self-serve whenever you choose. I had yoghurt, orange juice and fruit, toast and marmalade sometimes, but there was cereal too. Guests could cook their own food too. The dining room was open plan with the kitchen. All the hosts were very welcoming, helpful and informative. It was Cameron who was there most of the time and I saw how he helped a succession of guests on anything and everything under the sun! I benefitted too, of course, and really appreciated it. The local knowledge is invaluable.

We had corresponded by email with the owner/manager confirming our arrival time and after waiting 25 minutes outside, a neighbour asked if we were waiting to check in. He then went across the street and got another neighbour to come and unlock the door for us. We sat inside for another 30 minutes before calling the owner and left a message asking for him to come and check us in so we could get on with our day. 15 minutes later another neighbour arrived and told us the owner was teaching a yoga class, so couldn’t make it. He took us to the very top floor up several flights of stairs to a clean, good sized room with 1 double and 1 very hard single bed. The bathroom was large and clean. Unfortunately the walls are so thin we didn’t get to sleep until almost 3 am because the people next door were talking and going in and out of their room continuously to smoke outside or use the bathroom. It was an entertaining conversation they were having but we had driven 7 hours the day before and then had another 7 hour drive the next day. We ended up knocking on the wall and asking them to shut it down. Great location for walking around the city walls, however you must be in excellent physical shape to climb up the stairs to your room (leave your luggage in the car) and eternally patient with no plans to do anything other than wait endlessly for check in. It would also help if you are completely deaf if you plan on sleeping.
