Looks a normal terraced house from the outside, on the inside it’s well furnished and comfortable. Big bedroom with plenty of cushions and towels

Nothing really.

John is such a fabulous host. Welcomed us warmly, gave us lots of tips and information to help make our stay great. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Johns place is in a great location, within walking distance of the main part of Derry. We really appreciate how John went out of his way to make our stay so memorable.

Would have been nice to have a cooked breakfast but don’t think that was available

Breakfast was nice-self service so no need to wait for anything

Nothing displeasing: I will be pleased if Mountjoy House provides marmite fir toast/bread.

I am pleased with the continental breakfast and kitchen facilities to prepare meals. WiFi access was helpful.

I wondered if my sheets were clean....not enough light in the kitchen..but great to have the lounge for myself with TV.

Space and close to everything

A short walk from the centre, but in a quiet street. Friendly host, with a typical Ulster humour. Very comfortable bed. Excellent value for the budget traveller.

Floor in the room as well as the bathtub were not the cleanest, but not an issue. A bit of smell of smoke

Very handy location to explore derry or to get the train to explore other areas. Friendly host, could even leave my bags for a few hours after the official check out. Also very practical that there was a fridge and kitchen that could be used.

Nothing, everything was fine.

Very nice location, easy quick walk into the city center. Kitchen facilities. Dining room. Living room. Shared bathroom, but wasn’t a problem. Very friendly and welcoming host, that opened up his home to us. Can highly recommend and good value for the money.

I had a little trouble trying to get information on the best way to arrive by bus. Eventually I worked out that if coming from Donegal the expressway.ie website is the best place to find bus info 😊

The location was fantastic and the place very clean and comfortable. Although an uphill walk from the bus station, the route is right through the heart of the city so it's actually very enjoyable if you take it slow. A great explanation of what to do in town including a fantastic recommendation for a pub with trad music (Peader O'Donnells). Top tip - give yourself at least two nights in this beautiful and interesting town preferably more. One night was not nearly enough.

I was on the second storey up one flight of stairs. John helped me with my luggage, but there is a third floor. It wasn’t a problem for me, but it might be for others. We were free to use the kitchen, we were on our own. I found the kitchen needed a thorough cleaning.

it was a quiet neighbourhood with a few shops and pubs nearby. Down the hill was the river Foyle where are you could walk along to go to town or the other way just for a walk. Bishop’s Gate with all its history was nearby. I walked from the bus station, and easily into the centre of the city the next day. The owner accommodated my early arrival, which I very much appreciated.

I found long female hair all over my room

Central location

Stayed in June 2023

Location is at the top of hill, although everywhere in Derry seems to be.

Essentially Mountjoy House is a self catering establishment where you have your own room and downstairs there is a communal kitchen, dining room and lounge. Location is great, 15mins walk from station and 5mins from city walls.

Considering it was a shared bathroom and no full English breakfast you could argue it wasnt great value for money, but to be fair the room was spacious and comfy, the area is quite expensive for hotels/BBs anyway.

Convenient for where I had to be (bus station for airport bus) and well priced. Help yourself continental breakfast was all I needed. It all did the job nicely. Spacious room, comfy bed.

My experience at Mountjoy was favourable, to say the least. The heating of rooms, kitchen and amenities was excellent. Guests are able to activate the radiators from an access point. WiFi was reliable and fast. An added request was honoured: my clothes were washed and dried by the host. John is an excellent welcoming and caring host whom I could reach by cellphone when needed.

Parking outside, very close to city walls & city centre. Kitchen for making snack. Welcome & good communication from proprietor.

Stayed in December 2022

A good experience, with little to improve. Breakfast cereals and milk provided. A couple of pastries or similar for breakfast would be good.

Convenient location near city centre, small B+B, quite easy to find and accessible a 15–20-minute walk from train and separate bus stations. Good heating system on a cold night.

While the bedrooms were warm and cosy the corridors were a good bit cooler. As long as you were prepared for it it wasn’t a bother.

The location couldn’t be more central to such a historic location. John welcomed me warmly and gave a great tour of the facilities making me feel at home instantly after a long journey on a blustery and dark November evening. The shower head in the bathroom lights up with multicolored lights when you turn it on. An interesting touch to be sure. The bedroom I stayed in appeared recently done up. I was allowed to park my car on the on-street parking well after check out time with no issues from the hosts.

Comfortable stay, friendly and helpful host, walking distance to city centre. Good value.
