By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you are driving and want a 4-star hotel with free parking and friendly staff for about €94 a night, about 20 minutes on foot from St Columb's Cathedral. Skip it if you want to step straight out into the centre or care a lot about breakfast.

Everglades Hotel is our Budget pick in Derry Londonderry, and it is unusual for a budget choice: it carries 4 stars. It suits road trippers and anyone arriving by car. Guests point to on-site parking and easy road access, and they consistently praise the team as friendly, helpful and professional.
Skip it if you want to be in the city centre. Guests describe the setting as the city outskirts. Also think twice if a hot breakfast is a big part of your stay, because that is where the complaints are.
Location and getting around
The address is 41-53 Prehen Road. Guests rate the location 8.3 out of 10, mostly for parking and road links rather than for being central.
Straight-line walking estimates: St Columb's Cathedral is 1.6 km, about 20 minutes. Free Derry Corner is 1.7 km, about 21 minutes. St Eugene's Cathedral is 2.1 km, about 26 minutes. All are walkable if you do not mind 20 to 30 minutes each way, but in wet weather or late at night you may prefer a taxi.
What guests say
The score is 8.3 out of 10 from 1,141 reviews. Staff get the warmest comments, with guests mentioning a warm welcome and professional service.
Breakfast is the sore point. Guests call the buffet tasty with good variety, but say hot food often runs out or arrives cold. On review score, the hotel sits joint 5th of 5 eligible properties in the sample we checked, so the other options scored at least as well. It is a sound hotel, not the city's highest rated.
Price and how it compares with our other Derry Londonderry picks

Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included and what it costs if not. If you plan to eat late in the morning, be ready for gaps in the hot buffet. Confirm that free parking applies to your booking. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so read the room description and the cancellation policy.
