Chamberlain House

Chamberlain House provides value for budget-conscious travelers with modern, clean rooms, friendly staff, and convenient central location. However, basic facilities may not suit everyone's needs.

Having used several other accommodations in derry, travelling over twice a year with friends, we found this little gem, in a very famous street, Booking it, we arrived at Derry Airport, phoned our usual taxi company, CITY CARS, only one to use in derry, they charge £12 fixed fare on phoned hires. Our journey to chamberlain house right in heart of city centre took us 15 minutes, immediately on arrival by THERESA, we entered through the Secure keyless entry. ( no chance of losing the keys or who's got the keys question ) immediately noticed the house was warm bright and spotless. We were shown to the kitchen and dining areas. Also very clean, given the wifi password and room keys, Rooms were both spotless as was the shower, which was warm and powerful. Beds very comfortable , room also warm, t.v in every room. You have a continental choice of breakfast, cereal, yougorts, bread, tea, coffee ☕️, supplied. The house has full cctv on every level, parking space available on street outside or secure parking at the rear of the property which is locked 🔒 every night. Theresa lives directly opposite. So if problem arises, your never stuck. She visits first thing every morning, checking that all supplies are there and it's all clean and tidy, 5 minutes takes you to all the pubs, restaurants, and shops. Also the Guildhall and main bus 🚌 station. We ventured on couple of day trips visiting both BUNCRANA and LETTERKENNY on bus £8 per head 45 minutes max journey.mind sign the visiting book at chamberlain house, there was a utility room being completed to the rear of property at our stay, there is also ONE ROOM ON GROUND FLOOR, which would be suitable for anyone with a disability. Be advisable to contact LIAM the landlord directly to check the availability prior to booking, we met several other people whilst there, some who even extended there stay, for the price, cleanliness, and hospitality. We would highly recommend chamberlain house. Brilliant location. We will definitely be staying there on our twice yearly trips to beautiful Derry.

Unfortunately we didn't choose well with this one. When we arrived, there was no staff onsite. Had to ring the owner and then go down the road to get someone to open the door. More backpackers accommodation than a guest house. Rooms are very tiny, beds are so uncomfortable, no seating in the room, you hang your towels on a nail behind the door. Not room to open a suitcase except on the bed. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Lots of narrow stairs. The area is loud, but quietens later at night. There is a shared kitchen with coffee, tea and toast-making facilities. The place is clean but old and very tired. Would suit young people travelling on a budget.
