Abbey Bed & Breakfast

Simple, cheap accommodation near the city centre. Super cheap bed. Lovely friendly proprietors who were down to earth. Good tea & coffee & great facilities. Simple, basic, but hits all the right notes.

nice relaxed guesthouse for tourists who will be in the centre of derry/​londonderry-​nice breakfast room fitted with vinyl-​records as dekoration from josef locke (hear my song) to the edge from u2(see fotos on
)
the guesthouse is direkt in touch to the bloody sunday ground close to the museum.
the mixture of of the dramatical past on one side and the nice ancient city on the other side ist perfect for tourists who are not searching for rosamunde pilcherharmony while tavelling.

I can’t decide whether the best thing about Abbey B&B was the amazingly spacious room, the tremendous personal orientation to Derry/​Londonderry that we were given by owner Seamus Kennedy, or the incredible convenience of the location in the Bogside.
Abbey advertises itself as the only B&B in the Bogside. That’s not quite true, since another small B&B has opened up the street, but it’s still a significant distinction for a tourist. Abbey B&B offers completely up-​to-​date accommodations (and big rooms) just a few steps from the Bogside Artists’ murals and the sites of Bloody Sunday in 1972, and only a little bit farther from the old city walls. Those are the main attractions for a visitor to this city, and Seamus was a great source of advice on where to visit, where to eat, where to drink, and where to hear music in the evening.
My only complaint is that the WiFi in the Abbey, which worked fine on Windows machines (including the public computer set up on the first floor), refused to communicate with a Linux laptop.
